Stop feeling anxious every time you open the Bible

Learn how to read Scripture with confidence, clarity, and calm — without shutting down or fighting over conclusions
The Confident Reader Membership helps you move from theological fight-or-flight to thoughtful, grounded engagement with Scripture.
You wouldn’t be on this page if you didn’t care deeply about Scripture. 

You’re here because: 

  • you want to understand the Bible, not just repeat answers 
  • you’re tired of feeling tense when questions come up 
  • you want faith that’s resilient, not fragile 


The only thing left is deciding whether you keep trying to figure this out alone — or whether you want a clear, guided path forward.

The Confident Reader Promise

This membership exists to help you: 
  • read Scripture without fear of being “wrong” 
  • stay calm when texts get difficult or unfamiliar 
  • understand what the Bible is doing before debating what it means 
  • build confidence that doesn’t collapse when challenged 


Not by giving you more opinions — but by teaching you how to read.

What You Get Immediately
When You Join

An Essential, Searchable Teaching Library (Not a Content Dump)

What it is: 

Over 100+ hours of teachings, including full chapter-by-chapter studies of the Torah (Pentateuch) and the Gospels + Acts. 


Why it matters: 

Most libraries overwhelm you with options. This one gives you coverage with structure—so when a question comes up, you know the teaching exists and you can actually find it. 


This isn’t random content.
It’s a body of work built over 14+ years, now organized for real use.

A Clear “Start Here” Path (So You’re Never Wondering What to Watch Next)
What it is: 
A guided pathway that tells you exactly where to begin—and why. 

Why it matters: 
Most people don’t quit because they lack motivation. They quit because they don’t know what matters first. 

Inside Confident Reader, you’re not left to wander. You’re guided from: 
  • grounding → context → confidence → depth 

No guessing.
No second-guessing.
No content paralysis.

The Confident Reader Course (The Missing Skill Most Christians Never Learn)

What it is: 

A foundational course designed to retrain how you read Scripture—not what conclusions to defend. 


Why it matters: 

Most Bible anxiety isn’t about intelligence or faith. It’s about a nervous system problem. 


When people were taught what to believe instead of how to read, any unfamiliar text triggers fight-or-flight. 


  • This course is designed to: 
  • calm theological anxiety 
  • slow reactive interpretation 
  • restore trust in both the text and yourself as a reader 


This is the skill that makes everything else usable.


Plus, there's a monthly (optional, low-pressure) Confident Reader Lab where we explore real questions together—slowly and thoughtfully—to practice how to read without anxiety or defensiveness.


The Lab exists to help confidence move from theory into lived experience.

Ancient Near Eastern Context (Without Academic Overload)
What it is:
Clear, accessible teaching on Ancient Near Eastern culture, language, and worldview—woven directly into Scripture. 

Why it matters:
The Bible wasn’t written to us, but it was written for us. 

When you learn: 
  • how ancient people thought 
  • how stories functioned 
  • what questions the text is actually answering 
confusing passages stop feeling threatening—and start making sense. 

This isn’t trivia.
It’s context that stabilizes faith.

Transcripts + Powerful Library Search (Find What You Need, Fast)
What it is:
Downloadable transcripts for every teaching, plus a search engine that scans: 
  • titles 
  • transcripts 
  • written content 

Why it matters:
Sometimes you don’t want to watch a video. You want to find an answer. 

You can: 
  • search a verse 
  • search a concept 
  • search a phrase you remember 
and land directly where it’s addressed—without rewatching hours of content. 

This turns the library into a reference tool, not just a media archive.
Study Assistant + Community (You’re Not Studying Alone)
What it is: 
  • An Ask Ryan Study Assistant, trained exclusively on my teachings 
  • A discussion board and comments for interacting with others 
  • The Confident Reader Lab, where we actively explore how to think—not just what to think 

Why it matters:
Most people get stuck alone—unsure if their questions are valid. 

Here, you can: 
  • ask questions privately 
  • explore ideas safely 
  • see how others are processing the same texts 

The Confident Reader Lab, in particular, is designed to build curiosity without pressure—helping you explore multiple viewpoints without anxiety or forced agreement. 

This is where confidence becomes practice, not theory.

What Members Consistently Say

Most members don’t say: 
“I learned a cool new interpretation.” 

 They say:

"Ryan’s teaching helped me recover the joy I lost. I finally walk in freedom again. Faith of Messiah isn’t just study—it’s transformation."

Samantha Peterson

“Through your teaching, God removed my heart of stone. I repented. I changed. I became a new creation. Your availability means so much. I felt alone in this walk—until I found this community.”

Terry Baddley

"I came back to Ryan’s teachings after leaving a controlling congregation—and it was like learning the Bible all over again, the way it was meant to be understood. I was torn between Christian legalism and Torah silence—now I’ve been set free from both."

Amy Cisco

"I’ve studied the Temple with other teachers, but your work helped me finish what I started. You gave me the understanding I was missing. There’s nothing like having a place I can go, search a topic, and hear it directly from the source—with transcripts and all."

Fred Crawshaw

You might be thinking:

“I already have Bible knowledge.” 

 “I’ve tried courses before.” 

 “I don’t want more content I won’t finish.” 


That’s exactly why this membership is different. 

Confident Reader isn’t about adding information. 

It’s about removing the anxiety that makes learning stall in the first place.

You’re not locking yourself into a belief system.

You’re not joining a denomination. 


 You’re investing in a skill — 

one that makes your faith steadier, not narrower. 


 And you can move at your own pace.

        You move through the material as slowly or as quickly as you want.
