In this podcast, Ryan shares his experience on what it was like making choices as a young person graduating from high school. Unfortunately, the advice given by the elders in the congregation left him feeling helpless and hopeless when they begin encouraging him to regular pioneer. After taking the advice of the elders, Ryan chose to regular pioneer but quickly realized that he was unable to pay his bills. He was just struggling to survive.  Fortunately, Ryan woke up and began to reexamine his situation.  Perhaps you have had a similar experience where you gave up dreams, goals and aspirations to please the brothers in your local congregation. This happens all too many times where young people make decisions that drastically affect their ability to take care of their material needs much later in life. And, as Ryan discusses in this video, he was struggling to make ends meet every day. We hope this presentation will help you to think about your own career choices as you begin to navigate the waters in the "real world".Support the show
