b'This is the three year anniversary of the Graceful Atheist Podcast. Thank you to everyone who has listened and participated. Special thanks to Mike T and Arline for their work on the podcast over the past year. This week\\u2019s guest is Ryan Mulkowsky. Ryan grew up Independent Fundamentalist Baptist. He made a \\u201cprofession of faith\\u201d when he was nine years old and was reading Christian apologetics before he was twelve. By fourteen, Ryan was \\u201clicensed\\u201d by the church and started teaching. Ryan\\u2019s mental health suffered during adolescence. Whether at home, school or church, no place was safe for him to grow and change\\u2014strict dress codes, young-earth creationism, white-centered history books and virtually no sexual education. Ryan went to one university that was even more conservative and strict than his high school, left and graduated from another with a degree in apologetics. But Ryan knew he wanted to be with people. Soon Ryan was introduced to healthcare chaplaincy. For the first time, seeing people up-close in great physical and emotional need. He was also introduced to other religious faiths\\u2014Buddhism Orthodox Judaism and progressive Christianity. Ryan is a now a secular humanist, married with a family and working as a grief coordinator for Hospice. His life has both meaning and purpose without religion. He is living out secular grace by\\xa0\\xa0providing comfort and peace in some of humanity\\u2019s most vulnerable moments. Links Blog
