In this powerful episode of Kingdom Bros, we sit down with Ryan Shieh — a former college athlete, author, preacher, and host of the Pruned Podcast. At just 22 years old, Ryan brings a level of spiritual depth and self-awareness that’s rare in any generation. He’s not here to play church — he’s here to expose the dangers of Counterfeit Christianity.

We dive deep into Ryan’s faith journey, his bold take on the modern Christian walk, and the hidden dangers of a shadow mission — that subtle, deceptive life path that looks holy but leads to compromise. Ryan also opens up about the role of social media, how to recognize lukewarm faith, and why young leaders must speak truth in love.

This conversation is raw, spirit-filled, and real. Whether you're 18 or 58, this episode will challenge and bless you.

🎯 Share this with a brother, teammate, cousin, or anyone who's ready for a wake-up call.
