Renegade Redeemed

Renegade Redeemed aka Ryan Steiger was born and raised in San Antonio Tx. The only son of his two parents who both have daughters from prior marriages. Born on the south side of S. A. Ryan's family and him moved to the north east side during his elementary years where a big part of his journey took place. Toward the end of his new elementary school is when the change for the worst began. He was captivated with the hip hop culture that was advertised on television within the music videos and what he heard on the radio which played throughout all his middle school and high school years. Keeping himself surrounded with like minded people Ryan began to dress the part, learn the lingo and participate in using drugs and drinking many forms of alcohol that the culture exposed. To get a fresh start he and his family moved down south to a town called Poteet Tx where the drug use of marijuana wouldn't be the only thing the like minded people he surrounded himself with would be using. He began to use cocaine along with crack cocaine and crystal meth. The mixture of alcohol and tobacco with the many drugs he used kept his mind focused on what pleased him rather than what would better himself for the future. Enticed by the way the rappers in their songs and music videos would betray themselves Ryan thought it would be cool to try and rap so everything that inspired him through what he heard he spoke about in his lyrics, so the rapper Renegade came forth. One evening after leaving a house where he picked up some cocaine he was stopped by the police where this bust would land him in jail on a felony charge. Out on bond he agreed to 3 years probation which turned his felony into a deferred adjudication as long as he kept his end of the deal. Ryan's mother and father were at a rocky point in their marriage because of the path of drugs and alcohol his father chose to take, his mother was at her breaking point but little did she know another time like this would be ahead. Leaving her husband behind Ryan's mother and him left his senior year at Poteet High School and moved up to Killeen Tx where his older sister who was in the Military stationed on Ft. Hood to stay with her until his mother got on her feet. He quickly blended in with the party crowd and stayed on the path to destruction which landed him in jail once again. Realizing to finish school wasn't for him Ryan dropped out and pursued the workforce to keep money in his pocket and his addictions paid for. His mother and father reconciled which brought Ryan's father up to Killeen to live with them and things between his father and his father's step daughter went south. Ryan's mother, father and him moved into a one bedroom duplex along with his sister who moved next door which was also a one bedroom in another town in the area and this is where his mother reached the final breaking point with her husband. She gave her husband an ultimatum, either get help or I want a divorce. Ryan's father chose to get help because he loved his family but knew he couldn't change on his own. The place they found was a spiritual growth center which offered drug addicts and alcoholics to stay within their felicity and partake in their program to getting cleaned up, this place was also a church. After a period of time being in this program Ryan's father invited his wife and son to visit him and on that day his father invited them to attend church with him that Sunday for service. Ryan's mother very hesitant but with the push of her son it lead them along with her son's girl friend to attend that Sunday to see her husband. The day has come and the service began with songs then came to a point they called testimony time. His father was called to the front where he grabbed the microphone and spoke of why he was there. Then Ryan's father spoke of the change he underwent by giving his life to Christ and being redeemed from sin. God was real and saved his soul and now he is on the road to glory. The eyes and ears of his son, sons girl friend and wife were open to amazement. Then God Almighty met with Ryan that day and opened his eyes to the truth because knowing the kind of man his father was, if God was able to change him, then He has to be real. Ryan at a point in his life knowing his ways weren't working asked God if your real then change me and I will follow you. Ryan gave his life to Christ that Sunday at the end of 2009 where God began a change in his heart and now Ryan has been on the road to Eternal Life ever since. Formally known as Renegade he now understood the gift he was given of rap music and started using it for God's glory, so Renegade Redeemed was birthed. R.E.N.E.G.A.D.E. – Redeemed. Exceedingly.
