In this episode of the Fire You Carry podcast, hosts Nole and Ryan Shook delve into the profound impact of COVID-19 on faith communities. They explore how the pandemic challenged traditional church engagement and ultimately where it failed, and discuss the struggles of reconnecting with faith in a post-pandemic world. Ryan shares his unique perspective, drawing from his experiences growing up in Mongolia and his journey through ministry and firefighting. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation about faith, resilience, and the search for community in uncertain times.
