EP30: Diving In Deeper to Faith with Victor Perez

What does it really mean to keep your faith alive when the calendar clears and the holidays are over? On Dr. Scott Asmar: The Man and Everything in Between, host Dr. Scott Asmar sits down with returning guest Victor Perez for an honest conversation about the Christian faith journey for young men.

Victor views God not as a distant figure, but as a father and a best friend. He talks to God the way he would talk to a friend, no script required, no formal posture needed, just an honest conversation that starts with gratitude. It is a personal take on how to pray for beginners that actually feels doable.

Victor also opens up about his experience as one of many gay Christians who have felt rejected by organized religion. He walked away for a time. His story of faith after doubt is raw and real, and it speaks directly to the broader conversation around Christianity and youth revival happening right now.

This is a conversation about building a relationship with God that holds up through loss, confusion, and the seasons where everything feels uncertain. Dr. Scott and Victor agree that faith is not a destination. It is a conversation that never stops.

If you are at the beginning of your Christian faith journey for young men or somewhere in the middle wondering if any of this still applies to you, this episode will meet you where you are.
