When Ryan J Bell, a Seventh Day Adventist Pastor, publicly took a year to live a life without God and blog about it, he got a lot of attention and notoriety. He also had hundreds of people in the midst of doubting their faith or giving up belief in God in unsafe contexts and seeking out his advice because they had no where else to turn. What happen next and what he's up to now is the subject of this fascinating conversation today–with a big tangent and love fest for Jennifer Michael Hecht sandwiched somewhere in the middle. Ryan still has a pastor's heart, a humanitarian vantage point, and generousity of spirit and for any one who is curious about why people stop believing or is at a confusing place of doubt or unbelief, this episode will be an intriguing listen.
