Episode 22 – Behind The Anvil Podcast: Faith, Forging, and the Supernatural with Pastor Ryan Shaddix In this inspiring and deeply personal episode, host Michael Peterson welcomes Pastor Ryan Shaddix, who moved to Sevier County in 2014 with his wife to plant a church focused on reaching those often overlooked by mainstream religious communities. Together, they explore faith, purpose, and the unseen spiritual realities that shape our lives. Pastor Ryan opens up about his past struggles with addiction and how a life-changing turning point — through the love and support of his wife — led him to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. His story is one of redemption, resilience, and the transforming power of grace. He also shares his heart for youth and those marginalized by religion, and his passion for teaching the Bible in the Calvary Chapel style, including his current study through the Book of Acts. Michael and Pastor Ryan dive into discussions on the supernatural worldview, the influence of spiritual forces in today’s world, and resources like Dr. Michael Heiser’s teachings and The Bible Project. They also explore thought-provoking topics such as the Shroud of Turin, creation, and how faith shapes our understanding of truth and purpose. Filled with honest conversation, deep theology, and powerful testimony, this episode shines a light on how God redeems broken lives and calls believers to live with integrity and courage in a spiritual battle for the soul.
