Could Ryan Binkley Be Pastor-in-Chief In 2024
By Bob Small
Fifty-five-year-old North-Texas businessman and pastor Ryan Binkley feels “we have to be unified” and “it’s time for us to believe”, and that he is the person to lead us.
Blinkley is among those running for president in 2024
Binkley is president and CEO of Generational Group, which has a dozen regional offices in the US.
He co-founded the Create Church with his wife Ellen, where they are the lead pastors. They have five children.
He also founded the Way to Freedom. The Way to Freedom is a 501 (c) (4) organization that seeks to rejoin conservative voices with compassionate voices.
A quote from his interview with D Magazine is “when we return to God, return to trusting each other, and return to wisdom to govern, our nation will never be the same.”
Binkley contrasts the time he has spent working for various companies with a 1995 church mission trip that he made to Guatemala, and discusses the ways in which the business part of his life intersects with the church part. He adds that “God really spoke to me that business was really part of my calling.”
He had some interesting ideas that he describes in the Word and Way interview.
While supporting the GOP’s positions on marriage and abortion, he says that, as a pastor, he believes that “the Democratic Party, in some ways, has a stronger position” on issues like “caring for the immigrant or for the poor”. He adds that “God is neither Republican or Democrat”.
A Google search for “articles about Ryan Binkley” yielded a list of fifty-some web citations spanning twelve pages. Among these is the Daily Beast article Texas Pastor and Businessman Ryan Binkley Announces Run for President.
Binkley’s ability to get his name out there online and his financial backing are both impressive. But it is doubtful he will become the first “Pastor-in-Chief” since Jimmy Carter.
On the other hand, the article below points out that unlikely things do happen.

Could we end up with a President Binkley?

The very fact that Binkley “believes that “the Democratic Party, in some ways, has a stronger position” on issues like “caring for the immigrant or for the poor”.” immediately disqualifies him in my mind. Binkley is obviously oblivious to the Democrat #Doublespeak on issues where they purport to be champions of the poor and oppressed, yet sell out these same ones with policies that keep them poor and oppressed.
