Episode Synopsis

Ryan O'Hara is my guest for episode 37 of The Courage, Coaching and Counseling Podcast.  I met Ryan online years ago. One thing I've always appreciated about Ryan is his calming presence, he is a man and father who is grounded in his faith and in himself.  In this episode talk about his family's journey with infertility, foster care and adoption. He shares how foster care and adoption reflects the heart of God, how the challenges of parenting can impact marriage and how foster parenting and adoption has impacted his faith.  
Ryan O’Hara serves as the Content Director for Saint Paul’s Outreach, a national Catholic organization that ministers to college students on campus. He is passionate about seeing Catholics come alive in Christ, grow to spiritual maturity and become apostles to the people in their life. Ryan has a B.A. in History from William Jewell College and an M.A. in Theology from the University of Notre Dame. He and his wife Jill live in West St Paul, MN and are parents to four sons.
