Who We Are
A Chrysalis Opened
Ryan & Janine both came from seemingly good homes, with upbringings that spoke to love and nurturing. But behind the walls, there was turmoil, lack of education, abuse, and shame. This shame would ultimately wreak havoc in Ryan's life through sexual identity crises and a tragedy, and have bearings on Janine's life through self-harm and secrecy. Together, they both walked a painful road of recovery - with integrity - and their grief was swallowed up in joy through their union.
Though their union might look "terrible on paper", they're both pretty sure God doesn't read that stuff.

"Everything in the past has led to now. And I'm in love with now."
