Ryan Dobson is an advocate for youth, crisis pregnancy centers and adoption. He and his wife, Laura, host the REBEL Parenting Podcast and speak around the country in churches, strengthening families and marriages. In this work, they’ve watched as parents have become more and more concerned with the safety of their children. In response to this, they founded HomeSafe, a church-based program empowering families with the strategies and tools they need to be willing, able and ready to combat the dangers facing families today.
