Transform Your Life Through Sonship
AboutUsing
Statement of Faith
Grounded in our commitment to the inspired, infallible, and final authoritative Word of God as revealed in Scripture, we join with the Christian Church, which has affirmed this faith for over 1,700 years across the globe, in professing the beliefs articulated in the Nicene Creed.
We believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
begotten from the Father before all ages,
God from God,
Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made;
of the same essence as the Father.
Through him, all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven;
he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary,
and was made human.
He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered and was buried.
The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again with glory
to judge the living and the dead.
His kingdom will never end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life.
He proceeds from the Father and the Son,
and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.
He spoke through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.
We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look forward to the resurrection of the dead,
and to life in the world to come. Amen.
SONSHIP IN CHRIST
We believe that sonship is a core aspect of the Christian faith, offering believers a profound sense of identity, security, and purpose.
Sonship as Adoption: We are adopted into God’s family through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 1:4-6)
Sonship as Inheritance: As God’s children, we are heirs of His eternal kingdom and all its blessings. (Romans 8:14-17)
Sonship as Transformation: The Holy Spirit empowers us to live as sons and daughters of God, conforming us to the image of Christ. (Romans 8:29-30).
Sonship as Community: We are united with other believers in the global family of God, sharing in the love, joy, and purpose of our heavenly Father. (Galatians 3:26-28)
Our Mission
Bridge to Sonship Ministries provides men the opportunity to explore in what ways they are still living as spiritual orphans and what is keeping them from truly embracing the truth of their identity as beloved sons of God. Participants will be challenged to step out of their comfort zones and do deep personal work, with a community of brothers supporting them. They will be given the opportunity to cross the Bridge to Sonship, leaving the orphan spirit behind and stepping fully into their new identity as an adopted son of God.
Embrace Your Inheritance as a Beloved Son
Meet Our Founders
Ron Young
Bridge To Sonship Ministries was born out of the personal journey of our founder, Ron Young. Ron’s path to sonship began on a transformative weekend in Michigan back in May 2015. Despite growing up in a large family, Ron had carried the weight of feeling like an orphan for most of his life, struggling to trust and feeling unloved. Even though he had accepted Christ at a young age, the true love of the Father and his identity as a beloved son remained elusive until that pivotal weekend in 2015.
Invited to an experiential men’s retreat by a friend, Ron encountered the Father’s love in a profound way for the first time. Empowered by this experience, Ron became a vital part of subsequent retreats, finding healing and forming deep bonds with other men who became his true brothers. However, upon relocating to Colorado in 2018, Ron felt the absence of that supportive community.
Driven by a deep longing to fill that void, Ron sought to bring the transformative experience he had in Michigan to others in Colorado. Inspired by a revelation on biblical sonship in 2021, Ron embraced God as a trustworthy and loving Father, understanding his own identity as a beloved son.
From this place of newfound identity and freedom, Ron’s vision expanded to encompass a desire to help others break free from the lies that hold them captive. In 2024, Bridge To Sonship Ministries was founded, rooted in the core principles that guided Ron’s own healing journey. Ron and his partners have infused the ministry with the message of sonship, challenging individuals to confront their fears and embrace their true identity as adopted sons of God.
With over a decade of experience in similar ministries, Ron has staffed numerous retreats, led small groups, and facilitated transformative processes, bringing a wealth of knowledge and passionto Bridge To Sonship Ministries.
Join us on this journey of discovery, healing, and embracing the truth of who you are as a beloved son of the Most High God.
Torry Ebell
Torry first became aware of biblical sonship through the teachings of his pastor. He was quick to understand the principal and began to see connections to sonship throughout scripture. But though the concept was strong in his mind, he found it difficult to embrace in his heart.
Over time, Torry began to realize that he was blocked emotionally, bottling up anger and rarely experiencing any sadness or joy. He eventually pushed himself to get some counseling, but made little progress and stopped, not interested in trying again. But with the passing of his father later that year, the issue came back to the surface: Torry knew intellectually that his complete lack of emotion was unhealthy, but he didn’t know what to do about it.
It was at that time that Ron, for the umpteenth time, invited Torry to a men’s retreat in Michigan – a retreat that was designed to help men get in touch with their emotions. Torry jumped at the opportunity and went expecting a breakthrough. He wasn’t disappointed. With the help of these men, he was able to crack the thick shell around his emotions and grieve his father’s passing. But more than that, over the following weeks and months, he began to recollect events from his past – traumas that led him to build the emotional fortress which protected him from the world – and begin his journey of internal healing.
On the way home from that Michigan weekend, Ron shared his vision to create a similar ministry in Colorado, combining the deep emotional work they had just experienced with the understanding of biblical sonship they had been learning back home. Torry immediately saw the potential and, knowing that there was a lot he could contribute, joined Ron in the process of developing Bridge to Sonship.
