With the conviction that comes from knowing your purpose— and loving every minute of it— Ryan Dobson passionately pursues his calling in Christ. From his books to his podcast to his speaking engagements, Ryan uses every opportunity to call people out of the moral relativism of today’s society and into “the ultimate adventure” of following Christ.
Born in 1970, Ryan grew up as the second of two children of famous family counselor, author and radio host James Dobson. While many pushed him to follow in his father’s footsteps, Ryan took the time to explore his own gifts while trusting in Jesus as his guide. After graduating from college, Ryan found his natural talent for public speaking, combined with his passion for youth, soon opened countless doors. Ryan traveled extensively for years, challenging youth at music festivals, concert tours, youth camps, and crisis pregnancy center activities. Drawing from his experiences talking first-hand to teenagers and young adults, he wrote his first book, Be Intolerant in 2003. This wake-up call warned young Christians not to fall for the lies of a relativistic, postmodern society. Described as having “a colloquial style with all the subtlety of a two-by-four to the side of the head” by Publishers Weekly, it quickly rose up the sales charts— followed by two more best sellers, 2 Die 4 and 2 Live 4 in the years to come.
Behind the scenes, Ryan has been developing his own base— KOR World Ministries, with the purpose to “build passion and identity in Christ followers”. He produces KORKast, a podcast that challenges listeners in how they see, hear, and think about life and their interaction with culture. He also continues to speak, leads short-term missions trips and men’s retreats, and has a fourth book coming out in 2008.
Ordained in 2007, Ryan has a bachelor's degree in Communication Studies from Biola University. He lives in Colorado with his wife, Laura, and their son, Lincoln.
