Bryan Ryndak, PT, MHS

I have felt what it’s like for life to beat me to the mat more than once, death of a spouse, divorce, anxiety, job elimination, single parenting.  I have been in the battle to get up for one more round, hanging onto faith by a fingernail.  It’s not easy, it’s not just a matter of boot straps, it’s not someone else’s responsibility, and it’s not done alone.  Reach out.

I despise platitudes and would rather link Biblical truth with practical problem solving.  Holistic biblical couseling has to include the mind, body, and heart and this is how I approach counseling men.  I think real change happens when we can speak freely, think deeply, and battle courageously.  Every man was created for mission: to protect, provide, prepare, and perform as we live, love, and lead.

I work with men on untangling the meaning and day to day application of being a Godly man in today’s world.  Tackling subjects like spiritual leadership in the home, masculinity, loving your lady well, fitness, wellness, relationships, fringe faith, loss, and rewriting, I bring real world experience coupled with a Biblical world view to challenge the status quo of your mind, body, and spirit.
