About

Hello and welcome!

I’m so glad you’re here, and I look forward to sharing my work with you!

Instagram wanted me to select “what” I am and gave me a set of limited options: artist, writer, blogger, or musician. The reality is that I am a human person, not an internet personality. I’m not a “what” but a “who”—an artist and musician with an eclectic collection of passions, all surrendered to Christ my King.

I’ve organized my website so that it is easy to locate the content that you find most interesting. However, because I am a collaborative pianist, worship director, pastor’s wife, speaker, and writer of all genres, you’ll likely stumble upon writing or music that falls beyond your usual reading/listening material. This is a good thing, and I hope it refines your theology and broadens your creative horizons.

My current obsession is the fruit of the Spirit in worship music. Excerpts from my manuscript on this subject can be accessed under “Fruitful Worship.” If you would like to book me for a speaking engagement or worship workshop, please complete this contact form.

I am so glad you’re here, and hope you’ll subscribe here or follow me on Instagram. For more information, consider skimming my latest posts, or scrolling through my Instagram.

Joyfully,

Ryanne

Community > content is my approach to social media. 💛 Introduce yourself in the comments and let’s forge more fruitful connections! I wrote this Doxology verse for someone enduring a season of waiting—grueling, confusing waiting. But the same God who made us to live in time with its seasons of joy and sorrow, planting and harvest, will see us through. 💛 My @ring doorbell caught this at 3am. It’s three raccoons trying to get to my cute bird feeder bench from @aldi 😂 I feel like this needs to be memed…any caption ideas? Feel free to remix. Did you know the Greek term for “joy” is connected to the word for grace? Joy isn’t just a feeling of happiness (like sitting in the sun after a long run with lemon poppyseed ice cream). Instead, true joy is a deep, durable awareness of God’s grace. 💛 Reluctantly joining threads. If you like new lyrics, writing thoughts, and a few too many puns, give me a follow. 🙃 I wrote this song nearly two months ago (already?!) and still find myself pondering its lyrics. I hope it encourages you and, if it does, that you’ll share it with others. I’ve been thinking about the Doxology and how we praise God for his blessings. But if we really are to praise him in all things, maybe we need more songs about praising him through the losses as well. What do you think? Should I keep adding to this minor-key doxology? Would you sing it? 🙌🏻 In brainstorming my chapter on gentleness, I remembered one of my favorite short reads from last year: Francis Schaeffer’s “No Little People.” Most striking is his idea of extrusion: when God takes humble people and puts them into positions of leadership. It's a concept more of us need to ponder since we tend to crave prestige and influence. After all, social media tells each of us to have "main character energy"—to think of ourselves as the stars of our own stories, the centers of our own universes. In Ephesians 5, Paul writes that the opposite of being drunk (filled with wine) is being filled with the Spirit. The first (insobriety) leads to division, debauchery, and destruction while the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
