Taran M. Richardson was born in Metairie, Louisiana, and raised in Oklahoma—where his roots in faith, justice, and leadership began to take shape. Today, he stands as a voice for his generation: bold in truth, grounded in purpose, and unwavering in his pursuit of God’s will.

As a skilled communicator, Taran wears many hats. From serving as the Executive Chief Justice and Executive Interim Secretary of Guthrie Job Corps, to ministering as Director of Connections & Overseer at New Life Church, and volunteering faithfully at Crossings Community Church, he brings leadership and conviction into every space he’s called to.

Taran bridges the gap between spiritual truth and social impact. Whether speaking truth at the frontlines of protest or leading behind the scenes, his message remains clear: It is so—a declaration of divine fulfillment, agreement, and unshakable belief in what God has already spoken.

He isn’t just showing up—he’s building something eternal.

Richardson is also serving his third year as a student ambassador of the Edmond Public Schools Foundation and currently serving in NewLife.Church as the Director of Productions and a Member of the Crossings Community Church Edmond Productions Team. He also serves as a Board Member of Edmond Mental Health specializing in Local Youth Mental Health.
