"Your Identity Is The Problem" with Ryan Schuck Part 2

from Unburdened Hosted by Trevor Little & Carey Milne

In this second part of Ryan’s journey on Unburdened, he and Trevor pick up where we left off—diving into ministry struggles, relational strain, and the unraveling of once-certain beliefs. From the loneliness of small-town church life to the devastation of losing community, Ryan shares how disillusionment pushed him to let go of everything he thought he knew about God. Through the challenges of early marriage, counseling, and the experience of becoming a father, Ryan came to realize that rebuilding from zero was the only way forward. His story offers both resonance and relief for anyone who’s had to walk away from certainty to find a more authentic path. We discussed: Life in rural ministry and the collapse of a small church community The personal cost of unmet expectations in marriage and ministry Disillusionment with organized religion and walking away from church The role of counseling and learning to reconnect with emotions Becoming a father and the shift in understanding God as “Father” Wrestling with fear of hell and choosing honesty over certainty Navigating mixed-belief marriage dynamics Rebuilding from zero and finding freedom in starting over Learn more about Unburdened Podcast: Website: https://www.unburdenedpodcast.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theunburdenedpodcast
