I'm Ryan French, and I'm glad you're here.
I pastor Apostolic Tabernacle in the greater Atlanta area, where I've had the privilege of serving alongside some of the finest people I've ever known. My wife Taylor and I have three children—Julia Lynn, Talmadge, and Kaydence Marie—who keep our lives full, loud, and better than we deserve.
I'm an avid reader, a lifelong learner, and someone who believes that truth matters more now than ever. I write because the church needs biblical clarity in the middle of cultural chaos, and because I'm convinced that God's Word still speaks with authority into every question we're facing.
What Is Apostolic Voice?
Apostolic Voice is a blog and podcast dedicated to providing solid biblical teaching for believers who refuse to compromise. Whether you're wrestling with theological questions, navigating cultural pressure, or leading in ministry, my goal is to offer clarity rooted in Scripture and conviction shaped by the Spirit.
You'll find content on:
- Apostolic theology — what we believe and why it matters
- Christian living — how to walk faithfully in a world that's lost its way
- Ministry leadership — pastoral wisdom for those who shepherd God's people
I'm Pentecostal in experience and Apostolic in doctrine. I believe in the authority of Scripture, the power of the Holy Ghost, and the necessity of holiness. I'm unapologetically committed to biblical truth, and I hope I communicate it with grace.
Why I Write
The church doesn't need more noise. It needs more clarity. It doesn't need more opinions. It needs more Scripture. And it doesn't need leaders who are afraid to say hard things—it needs shepherds who love people enough to tell them the truth.
I write because I believe God's people are hungry for substance. I write because I've watched too many believers get swept away by compromise, confusion, or cultural pressure. And I write because I'm convinced that when the Word of God is faithfully proclaimed, lives are transformed.
What I Believe
I care deeply about the local church. I believe the best days of the church are not behind us, but ahead of us—if we'll return to the simplicity and power of the New Testament pattern.
I'm deeply grateful for the heritage I've been given. I stand on the shoulders of men and women who refused to compromise, who preached holiness when it wasn't popular, and who believed that God's Word means what it says.
I believe in discipleship that costs something, worship that transforms us, and a gospel that saves completely. I believe the Holy Spirit is still moving, the Word of God is still authoritative, and holiness still matters.
