No matter who you are, every single day you are faced with a challenge of perspective. Most of us tend to look at life through a lens of "what if," where we make decisions influenced by fear, uncertainty, and doubt. However, there is another perspective we can take - one that stands tall and says, "even if." In this episode, Ryan sits down with Zach Clinton, who details how an "even if" faith propels you to live a life full of courage, purpose, and perseverance.
