Ryan Meeks: Healing Cancer, Psychedelic Therapy & Former Mega Minister
Ryan Meeks is a man who lives by the mantra: Life is a gift, love is the point. It’s fitting, as you will see, when you hear Ryan’s wild journey filled with ups, downs and everything in between. He founded EastLake church in 2005, where he was the head Minister for almost a decade. It became one of the fastest growing churches in America, and they were featured in TIME Magazine for the church’s public affirmation and inclusion of the LBGTQ community. Then, things took a turn.
We dive into Ryan and the church’s rapid rise and success, and then how he made a decision that radically changed his life and the direction of the church. Ryan details the tough choice he made to speak and live his truth, ultimately leaving the church & Christianity to pursue a new, unknown direction. He shares his healing journey overcoming Cancer, what he does today as a spirituality (faith and non-faith based) coach and why he is called to facilitate and lead psychedelic journeys for people as therapy.
