ALTON - On a recent episode of “You’re Beautiful” with Brian Trust , Ryan Sautman spoke about making mistakes and finding God. Sautman shared that he often comes up short, but God’s grace helps him confront his mistakes and find his way back to the Lord. He knows it’s impossible to be perfect, but he believes we should all try to follow the Bible’s teachings and emulate Jesus as much as possible. “We are trying to become more Christlike,” Sautman said. “At the end of the day, we as Christians, that’s our ultimate goal.

But our goal is to get closer and closer and closer, if we can, every single day, get 1% closer.” As a business owner and the primary breadwinner for his wife and four children, Sautman said the “weight” of these responsibilities can be overwhelming at times. Like a lot of people, he worries about his financial future.
