Summary
Maria Baer visits with Ryan Bomberger about his upcoming presentation at the Wilberforce Weekend, May 10-13.
Ryan has a rather unique perspective of the innate nature of Purpose. His biological mother was raped yet courageously gave him a chance to live and the beautiful gift of adoption. He was adopted at 6 weeks of age and grew up in a loving, multi-"racial" Christian family of 15. With siblings of varying ethnicities, he grew up with a great appreciation for diversity. Ten of the thirteen children were adopted in this remarkable family. His life defies the myth of the "unwanted" child as he was adopted, loved and has flourished.
Today, he is an Emmy® Award-winning Creative Professional who founded The Radiance Foundation (TRF), a life-affirming 501c3, along with his wife, Bethany. He is a factivist, international public speaker, columnist, educator, broadcast media designer, producer and author of the powerful book, Not Equal: Civil Rights Gone Wrong.

| 0:33.4 | Wilberforce weekend on Saturday afternoon at our third session of the conference. |
| 0:38.4 | So just by way of reminder, our conference this year, the theme of it is redemption. |
| 0:43.6 | Sometimes we think about redemption as Christians as a one-time thing. |
| 0:47.7 | We're saved by Jesus and woo-hoo it happened. |
| 0:50.7 | And to be sure, that is something to celebrate and be thankful for. |
| 0:55.6 | But we also know as Christians that were redeemed for a time and a purpose. We're redeemed two and for something as well. |
