What happens when you sit down with a pastor and ask every difficult question you’ve been afraid to say out loud?In this episode, we’re joined by Pastor Ryan Schlachter of Legacy Church in NYC for one of the deepest conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast. We talk about faith, science, suffering, morality, heaven, relationships, sex before marriage, evolution, free will, and what it actually means to believe in God in the modern world.Ryan opens up about his own journey back to faith after hitting a dark point in college and explains why he believes Christianity is less about religion and more about relationship, purpose, and meaning.Whether you’re religious, skeptical, curious, or somewhere in between, this conversation is about asking questions honestly and exploring the things most people think about but rarely discuss openly.If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, leave a comment, and share your thoughts below.00:00 Intro01:12 Ryan’s Journey Back To Faith05:20 Experiencing God Personally08:35 The 3 Possibilities About Jesus14:08 Morality, Souls & Meaning16:25 Can Bad People Still Go To Heaven?23:15 Religion vs Relationship With God28:11 Why Does Suffering Exist?33:20 Faith vs Science & Evolution39:40 Sex Before Marriage Explained44:17 Religion, Faith & Belief48:18 Why Young People Are Returning To Church53:11 What Jesus Was Really Like54:21 Legacy Church NYC
