Welcome to episode #2 of Real Faith Conversations! In this episode, Ryan and Rachel dive into how a rebellious kid may experience Catholic education by sharing their experiences. We all have a little rebel in us, especially as young kids and teens. Both Rachel and Ryan attended Catholic school briefly before transferring to public school.

Welcome to the Real Faith Conversations podcast! Let’s be authentic and have an honest, real conversation! Life is hard… we all go through challenges and if we are being honest with ourselves, it’s complicated. From conception to after death and everything in between, this podcast aims to promote dialogue about every moment in life. Join us as we talk about life, culture, and faith in the most genuine way possible. Now that’s real!

In this episode, Ryan and Rachel discuss the concept and why a show like this should exist. Ryan is 24 years old and just graduated with a Master's degree and Rachel is a 20-year-old college student studying at Millersville University in Pennsylvania.  They are both young parishioners at Saint Peter Catholic Church in West Brandywine, PA, and want to be open to different perspectives. This show may be a little "edgy" compared to what you would expect coming from a Catholic Church, but that's ok. We hope to not shy away from topics that are traditionally not talked about that much.

So enjoy!
