    My Faith Exploded When I Found My “WHY” | Ryan Pauly’s Testimony

    What happens when you discover the reason God has called you? Ryan Pauly says his faith exploded when he found his “WHY.” In this episode of the Inspire Hope Podcast, Ryan shares his powerful faith journey and testimony of how God called him to the Dominican Republic—and the incredible way God confirmed that calling. But Ryan's story also opens the door to a much bigger conversation about Christian apologetics, faith deconstruction, doubt, questioning Christianity, and one of life's biggest questions: Is God real? How should we respond when someone we love is struggling with their faith? What do we say when someone is deconstructing Christianity? And is our goal to win the argument—or to understand the person behind the questions? Ryan has spent more than a decade working with students as a teacher, missionary, and apologist. He is the Founder and President of Think Well, Director of Immersive Experiences at MAVEN, and an Adjunct Professor of Theology and Apologetics at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University. His doctoral research focuses on apathy among Christian students and how the church can help cultivate a passionate and lasting faith. Whether you're confident in your faith, wrestling with doubt, or walking alongside someone who is questioning what they believe, Ryan's story offers a compassionate reminder that questions don't have to be the end of a faith journey. Through real stories like Ryan's, we see again and again that God is at work. May this conversation strengthen your faith, renew your hope, and remind you of God's faithfulness. If God Did It For Them, He Can Do It For Me.

Today, she helps churches better send and care for missionaries through Sender’s U and serves as a trained missionary debriefer.
