In 1980, the 42-year old father, husband, and corporate executive Walt was diagnosed with "gender dysphoria, underwent gender reassignment surgery, and lived as a woman for 8 years. Through an encounter with Jesus Christ and the support of a loving church, Walt got his life back (“detransitioned”) and has been restored for over 30 years.

But Walt isn't the only one who's experienced this, and the numbers have skyrocketed in our modern age. Walt shares about safeguarding children from experimental intervention, and how we should be willing to dig into the true trauma and mental health issues that are causing disorder in children's sense of identity.

Why do so many young Christians feel like their faith is just another item on a crowded to-do list? Why does boredom creep in when it comes to something as life-changing as a relationship with God? Recent studies show a surprising shift—Gen Z men are now more likely than women to identify as religious, flipping a generational trend. But what does that really mean? As culture moves faster and attention spans shrink, many in Gen Z are craving something deeper, more meaningful, more real. In this episode, we’re asking the big questions—about faith, purpose, identity, and how to actually think well in a reactive world.

Today’s guest is Ryan Pauly. Ryan is the Founder and President of Think Well, the Director of Immersive Experiences at MAVEN, and an Adjunct Professor of Theology and Apologetics at Biola University. He has been working with junior high, high school, and college students for over a decade as a missionary, school teacher, speaker, and apologist.
