About Ryan

Stay tuned to see what is coming this year. Also, please feel free to help sort out the wisdom and share your thoughts in post comments.
This blog is an attempt to seek Spiritual Truth from all religions and belief systems. This blog explores many topics from Spirituality to Religion. Ryan also likes to do DIY projects in his spare time.
Spiritual History
Ryan J. Johnston Sr. grew up in a Christian religious setting. He was involved in Youth Group as a teenager. He was even featured in his high school yearbook as destined to be a preacher. He has a natural curiosity about religion and spirituality. In Adulthood, Ryan established the New Sunflower Church in Indianapolis, IN fulfilling the destiny from his high school yearbook. The church was a way to research spirituality and share his findings. He also learned from the people that visited the church. It was a two way church. By day, Ryan is a software developer and very logical. He approaches spirituality just as logically. Though the church closed at the end of 2015, Ryan is and always will be a truth seeker. One thing he learned through the church is that people like to learn spiritual things on their own time. Ryan is now sharing and learning with other through his books and this blog.
