Hey there, welcome to Outlaw Faith! I’m Ryan, and this blog is all about pushing back against what’s broken in our world while standing firm in faith. It’s a call to live with honor, integrity, and a healthy dose of rebellion against the status quo.
What’s the Point?
Here, we’re diving into historical texts like Common Sense and the Federalist Papers, translating them into something fresh and relevant. I want to show you why these ideas still matter in 2025 and how they connect to a life of faith.
How We’ll Do It:
This isn’t just a history lesson—we’ll weave in humor, personal insights, and a challenge to step up and live boldly. Think of it as a roadmap for reclaiming freedom and faith, one step at a time.
What to Expect:
So, starting Monday mornings, we’ll dive into these incredible documents together and see what they mean for us today. It’ll be fun, thought-provoking, and hopefully spark something new in you.
Ready to join the journey? See you Monday!
