If you've ever held a negative bias towards Christianity, you're not alone. Church Pastor Ray Waters breaks down what it means to be Christian in the modern world and being a pastor "for those who don't have a pastor." He talks about struggles in his early life with his faith and regaining his preaching platform with the help of some great friends. This interview was done to better understand a religion that some may have felt abandoned them while also taking a look at what it's like to pastor a church.

What does success look like to you? What is the "point B" you're working towards? With finals week for college students in full swing, a much needed break is around the corner.
