Pastor Ryan Macdonald didn’t chase a platform—he built one in his hometown. In this episode, he shares how a childhood spent setting up folding chairs turned into 20+ years of ministry. Now the Lead Pastor at The City Church in Batavia, New York, Ryan talks about small-town roots, steady leadership, and what it means to serve before speaking. We get into his approach to teaching scripture, working with his wife and sons, and creating a church community that’s more about growth than numbers. A quiet, grounded look at purpose, faith, and the long game of spiritual impact.
