The StoryConnecting Broken Young People
“I’d rather tame a Mustang than inspire a mule”
-
Looking For Meaning
Through this affirmation, Ryan began to see that Jesus’s heart was always turned towards the outsiders and outcasts- the seemingly “too far gone” and “irredeemable”.. the wild mustangs. Ryan also noticed that today, the vast majority of these “mustangs” wouldn’t dare to step foot in a church and that we have to reach them where they are at.

Chasing Wild Was Born
So in order to reach them where they are at, Ryan set out to make a raw, revealing, and redemptive film series that shared the heart of God for these mustangs by taking four wild boys and pairing them with four wild mustangs to tame over the course of a forty day adventure. WATCH TRAILER HERE

Share The Struggle
During the casting process of Chasing Wild, Ryan spoke with dozens of young men around the country who were dealing with fatherlessness, addiction, incarceration, loneliness, anxiety, depression etc. and needed a mentor to care deeply, listen to their hurts, and share in their pain. So he created a matching website to pain mentors and mustangs with similar struggles to reach not only four, but hundreds of thousands. WATCH VIDEO HERE
Our Guiding Principals
We follow Jesus’s example
He told parables and equipped disciple-making. We tell parables through film, and use digital means to make disciples.
Reaching Outsiders and Outcasts
We reach the outsider and outcast with the hopeful message of the Gospel and connect them to meaningful relationships.
Excellence
Matters
To help alleviate the complex social problems youth are experiencing, we believe innovative, excellently crafted strategies are necessary.
