Justin Ryan is an openly gay Christian singer, songwriter, and storyteller whose work reclaims the heart of Southern Gospel while expanding its theological and cultural boundaries. Deeply rooted in gospel tradition, Justin brings rich vocals, emotional honesty, and reverence for faith—while offering a voice shaped by lived experience, grief, humor, and radical grace.
After choosing authenticity over acceptance, Justin emerged as a leading voice for LGBTQ+ Christians navigating faith beyond exclusion. His concerts are more than performances—they’re part testimony, part storytelling, and part sanctuary. Through song and sacred honesty, Justin creates space for a faith that tells the truth and still sings.
From his acclaimed album Explaining Jesus to his podcast Southern Gospel Sissy, Justin’s work resonates with those inside and beyond the church. He stands within the legacy of LGBTQ+ Christian music and ministry, offering hope that is both hard-won and joy-filled.
