Ryan Bell – Creator of Short Daily Devotions and Writer
After graduating college Ryan lived in Southern Sudan as a missionary. While there, he connected with another missionary family and continued to minister with them when they came back to the US, and helped them plant a church. Ryan pastored the church and eventually guided its merger with another church plant of a like heart and mission. During this time Ryan began journaling in his ESV Journaling Bible. It was through this that Ryan decided to share what God was teaching him with others. Ryan is married to his beautiful wife Michelle and they have a little boy named Caleb.

Kevin Pounds- Writer & Church Planter
In November of 2010, Kevin moved with his pregnant wife Christin and young son Jude to Burlington, VT for another ride on the church planting roller coaster. Kevin grew up in the metro-Atlanta area where he served for ten years as a youth minister and college pastor. Throughout these years he had a passion to reach unchurched students but struggled to view himself as a pastor because he did not “fit the mold.” God eventually convinced Kevin that is exactly why He would send him to start churches to reach people in unchurched areas. In June 2004, Kevin and Christin moved their lives from the Atlanta area to New Brunswick, NJ, to start and pastor the Point Church. During his tenure as Lead Pastor, Kevin learned a great deal about starting churches in urban college towns that reach students, families, and those on the fringe of society. His passion is to see churches planted in communities around the Northeast and develop leaders who will do the same.
