Hey there -

My name is Ryan Douglas Martin. I’m glad you’re here.

I am a Storyteller with a heart for adventure and building community.

I’m also a husband, father and son.

More than all of those - I am a follower of Jesus Christ.

My deepest longing is to become a Sage in this realm. To be transformed into the sort of seasoned Tribal Leader who has the ability to father and counsel others with his life and words.

Right now I’m on the journey to becoming that Sage, and this is where you’ll see it unfold.

The world is doing its best to fragment us. To isolate us into a single identity. To pull us a part from one another. To remove our dreams, lead us down the path of least resistance, and paralyze us into a puddle of anxiety.

It wants to suffocate us from the source that made us, loves us, and knows us best.

This is my newsletter and community of sorts, The Every Day Sage. It’s a curated magazine of articles and essays that I post to weekly.  

The purpose of this community is to chart the course for becoming the Sage we want to be.

It is about identifying and fighting back against the fragmentation of this world. It’s about seeking orientation. Living with intention. Knowing your true self. Discovering meaning. And finding connection to others and to the one that made you.

Does any of that resonate with you?

If so, I hope you stick around here for a while.

What you can expect around here are a curated collection of essays and articles, written by yours truly, related to the following:

  • Writing

  • Creativity

  • Faith

  • Intentional Living

  • Vocation

  • Strategy

If none of those topics sound interesting to you - no worries.

Otherwise, I hope you’ll jump in and subscribe so you can start receiving these curated wisdom bombs straight into your inbox.

On average you can expect an email at least once per week. I promise not to badger you with anything annoying or unexpected.

In the meantime, please be in touch with any thoughts, questions, comments, or suggested topics you’d like us to explore.

I make it a point to respond to each and every email.

I also write for publications such as The Ascent, Koinonia, The Post Grad Survival Guide and The Writing Cooperative (as well as my own publication of the same name) over at Medium.com.

Anyway, to subscribe to this community and jump into the journey alongside me, here is where you can do just that.
