Ryan Meeks: "Life is a gift. Love is the point."

In 2015, Ryan Meeks became one of the first evangelical megachurch pastors to support full inclusion of LGBTQ people. Ryan founded and led Eastlake Community Church, a very different, transformative church for 16 years. Now, Ryan’s lifework is simply to “help people feel alive.” Having endured everything from the scrutiny of the entire Evangelical movement to beating cancer, Ryan now provides spiritual direction and holistic coaching, wilderness retreats and psychedelic integration.
