About the Author

Dr. John Wiley Bryson is a leader, pastor, businessman, coach, and storyteller at heart.

A proud husband of one and father of six (which leaves him loads of free time🙃😬) JB enjoys a round of golf at a new course on a brilliant day (has clubs, will travel), fishing, reading, and coaching youth sports.

He’s a sports junkie. He bleeds Green (Harlan Green Dragons) and Blue (UK / BBN), which makes each Fall brutal & March (Madness) usually glorious. He also has given pieces of his heart to the Dallas Cowboys & Memphis Grizzlies & All Four PGA Majors & The Ryder Cup
