| 5/7/25 |  Why Ryan Day Left 3ABN | 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.

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.
