Adventist Pastor Ryan Day spent over a decade working for Amazing Facts and 3ABN (two of the biggest media ministries in the SDA church) as well as speaking and singing around the world for thousands of people.

More recently, Ryan left 3ABN and started his own YouTube channel “Re-Think Adventism” where he openly shares about why he left his position in the church, and why he has major issues with some of the doctrines taught within the church.

In this episode, we sit down with Ryan to hear about the journey he’s been on, why he ultimately decided to leave, and how all of the media attention and public backlash has affected him and his family.
