Pastor Sidney Bryant, Sr. is a visionary filmmaker, preacher, motivational speaker, author, and family man who has devoted his life to inspiring change and igniting purpose in others. He is a proud husband to his wife, Pastor Kia Bryant, and a devoted father to their six children: J.R., TJ, Ava, Nolan, Ren, and Sir. Sidney lives with intentional balance, blending ministry, creativity, and family life.

Called to ministry in 2014, he re-launched his evangelistic outreach, Motivated Push, with a mission to provoke artistry while grounding young people in biblical principles. In 2020, he accepted the call to pastoral leadership and began the process of establishing Compel Church of Georgia in the Valdosta area as a mobile ministry. There, he and his team faithfully served the community until God relocated them to Douglas, Georgia. The ministry then became more firmly rooted as Compel Inner-Province Fellowship Church, where Sidney continues to serve as Senior Pastor, equipping believers to walk in God’s plan for their lives. His guiding conviction remains steady: “God’s plan will never be reduced for your life.”

Beyond the pulpit, Sidney is a gifted speaker trained by Bryan Fiese. He has inspired audiences ranging from intimate classrooms to stadiums filled with 25,000 students. His message challenges individuals to D.I.P.—to live Driven, Intentional, and Persistent lives as they pursue their God-given purpose.

As a filmmaker, Sidney is the founder of ONE Compelling Picture, a production company dedicated to creating high-quality, faith-driven films in collaboration with churches and communities. His early works include Popularity Evil and Surrender, followed by more recent projects such as Redwood and Because You Answered. His upcoming film, When Eyes Can’t See, is set for release in 2025 and continues his mission of using storytelling as a vehicle for transformation.

Sidney is also a published author through The Bureau of Compellers, where he continues to use the written word as a powerful tool to inspire and equip others.

From humble beginnings in Douglas, Georgia, to leading on global platforms, Pastor Sidney Bryant, Sr. embodies his personal mission: “It only takes one voice to change a life.”
