Meet Ryan & Dr. Angie
Ryan Franklin is a Christian leadership coach, author, and pastor who helps Christian leaders find clarity, balance, and confidence so they can lead from a place of rest instead of burnout.
As the founder of Christian Leader® Made Simple, Ryan equips pastors and ministry leaders to gain stability, create a clear personal vision, and follow a proven plan of action for sustained leadership growth and enjoyment. His mission is to help leaders transform their mindset, habits, and relationships so they can multiply their impact and make disciples of Jesus Christ more effectively.
Ryan understands the tension of leading without clarity. Before entering full-time ministry in 2005, he led teams as a nursing director at George Washington Hospital in Washington, D.C., where he helped restructure and revitalize a failing healthcare facility. That experience shaped his passion for building healthy systems and restoring struggling teams—skills that now serve hundreds of Christian leaders he coaches and mentors.
Today, Ryan serves as Assistant Pastor at The Pentecostals of Alexandria, where he oversees multiple areas of church life and leadership development. His natural wiring for structure and administration brings balance to the POA pastoral team and helps leaders grow with confidence and purpose.
​
Ryan holds a Professional Certification in Executive Coaching and Consultation from Concordia University and is a certified CDR 3-D Assessment Coach. He earned his Master of Arts in Christian Ministries (Pastoral Counseling) from Liberty University and is the author of The Christian Leader Blueprint: A Step-by-Step Guide to Leadership Transformation.
​
Ryan and his wife, Angie, live in Louisiana with their two children, Olivia and Neil. When he isn’t leading or coaching, you’ll likely find him outdoors with his family—recharging in the same rhythm he helps others build.
