Ryan Cosgrove
Ryan Stevenson-Cosgrove is a pastor in southeast Iowa, along the mighty Mississippi River. Serving in this little corner of the world has shown him how God loves to show up in the unlikeliest of places. The call to serve God's Word on the edge of this fly-over state has made a better theologian out of him than he could have managed on his own. It also landed him in the company of his now wife, Amanda, who manages to extend grace as well as Ryan could ever hope to preach it.
