*Schedule a Discovery Call with Kyle 👉* https://calendly.com/kylevanruit/discovery-chat *Luke Zandberg’s Campaign Website* 👉 https://lukezandberg.ca *Luke Zandberg’s Campaign Email* 👉 [email protected] --- Luke Zandberg is 26, a husband, dad, local business manager, and now a candidate for Chilliwack City Council. We get into how he went from Trinity Western to working behind the scenes on federal campaigns, why he decided to put his own name on the ballot, and what he thinks city council can—and can't—actually fix. We talk public safety, homelessness, traffic, taxes, housing, faith, and whether young people still believe politics can change anything. I also push him on the parts he doesn't have clean answers for, because local politics sounds simple until you start asking where the money comes from.

*Kyle's Coaching & Recruiting* https://calendly.com/kylevanruit/discovery-chat *MBC Canada* https://mbcclarity.com/ *Next Hand Digital* https://nexthanddigital.com/ --- Jeremy Ryan’s story takes a few turns—and then several more. He went from being bullied and selling drugs to preparing for the end times in tents near 100 Mile House, serving in church, hearing voices he believed were from God, and eventually joining the Free Reformed Church. We talk about addiction, conversion, spiritual gifts, church authority, family influence, infant baptism, and what happens when absolute confidence collides with the need to know what is actually true. Whether you grew up Christian, walked away from church, or have no idea what paedobaptism means, Jeremy’s story is wild, honest, and worth hearing.

In this conversation, we get into his childhood, marriage, faith, suffering, forgiveness, and what happened when he finally stopped burying his story and started bringing it into the light through Freedom Session. It’s a heavy conversation, but also a pretty incredible picture of grace, healing, and the freedom that can come from finally facing what you’ve spent years avoiding.

In this episode, I sit down with John Carpay to talk about his work defending constitutional freedoms in Canada and why he believes the country has been on a slow cultural decline for decades. John shares how he became a lawyer, what led him to found the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, and why issues like free speech, parental rights, and freedom of religion have shaped his work throughout his career. We also get into Bill C-9, the proposed social media legislation, government overreach, the role of the media, and why John believes culture ultimately shapes politics. Along the way, we discuss the importance of virtue, education, and what it takes to preserve a free society. Whether or not you agree with John's conclusions, this conversation explores some of the biggest questions surrounding rights, responsibility, and the future of Canada.

In this episode, I sit down with Stuart Parker for a conversation about politics, culture, purpose, and faith.Stuart shares stories from his upbringing, his involvement in politics, and how his views have changed over the years. We discuss free speech, identity politics, modern ideological movements, and why he believes many people are searching for meaning in the wrong places.

I sat down with Savannah Paul to talk about something a lot of women are dealing with but don’t know how to talk about — catching their husband watching porn and having no idea what to do next. We get into the shock, the anger, the self-doubt, and the lies women start believing about themselves, and what real healing actually looked like in her marriage. This isn’t a quick fix conversation — it’s about betrayal, rebuilding trust, and what it actually takes to heal (even when it takes years).

I invited Maxime Bernier back on The Furiously Curious Show to get his take on what's happening in Canada and around the world right now. We covered free speech and Bill C-9, the future of the PPC, Alberta's separatist movement, Trump, America's war with Iran ... and more. He defaulted to some PPC talking points at times, but for the most part, I felt he was pretty open with me. I enjoyed our chat and hope you do too. -Kyle --- *🎙 About The Show* Kyle Van Ruitenburg gets Furiously Curious with honest, raw, and sometimes laugh-out-loud chats about the stories, beliefs, and worldviews that shape how people see the world.

In this episode, I sit down with Andre Lesur to talk about his journey from South Africa to Canada, his path into faith, and how his life shifted from chasing performance to actually knowing Jesus. Andre shares what it was like growing up in a volatile home, moving across countries, and chasing success through academics and sports—until he encountered a kind of love through Christians that made him question everything. We get into identity, perfectionism, and the tension between striving and surrender. We also talk about his time in ministry, working with youth, prison ministry, and people in some of the hardest environments, along with the personal cost that came with it—burnout, loss, and rebuilding after his mom passed away. If you’ve ever wrestled with faith, purpose, or trying to prove yourself, you’ll probably relate to this.

I sat down with former BC MLA and school trustee Laurie Throness to talk about the declining academic standards, family breakdown, free speech, SOGI, and why he ultimately stepped down from the school board. Laurie shares his views on why he believes these issues are much bigger than politics— and more about our kids, what we’re teaching them, and the kind of country we’re building. If you care about truth, faith, and where things are headed, this one matters.

Why were we never taught how to actually do relationships? In this episode, I sit down with Jason Gaddis—relationship coach, founder of The Relationship School, and author of Getting to Zero—to talk about the one “class” most of us missed growing up. We get into conflict, emotional maturity, why so many guys shut down or avoid hard conversations, and how patterns from childhood quietly shape our marriages and friendships. Jason has worked with thousands of couples, and he breaks down what actually works when it comes to repairing a relationship and growing up emotionally. This one is real, practical, and probably something most of us needed 10–20 years ago.

In this episode, I sit down with Rev. Aaron Vriesman to talk about his role in The Abide Project, which he helped start with a group of colleagues to uphold their convictions on biblical sexuality within the CRC denomination after some churches chose to follow the culture’s view on the issue. We also talk about the culture in many church communities where people feel pressure to show up looking like they have it all together while hiding the things they’re actually struggling with. Aaron shares some of his own story, his struggles with depression, and we talk through why these conversations matter and why they’re often more complicated than people make them out to be. Enjoy!

Most people don't know what to do after an affair-especially in the church, where many people suffer quietly and alone. In this episode, I sit down with Rick Reynolds founder of Affair Recovery, and we talk about his own story of betrayal, addiction, a vision, and what actually helps couples heal. If you're dealing with this topic right now, you're not alone, there's a path forward, and this conversation will help & encourage you.

How do you actually know you’re saved? Not “I grew up in church” saved. Not “I said the right prayer once” saved. But genuinely, biblically saved. In this episode, I sit down with Rob Best to talk honestly about assurance of salvation — how Scripture defines it, where people get it wrong, and why so many Christians live with quiet doubt they never talk about. We dig into false assurance, real repentance, belief versus behavior, and why following Jesus isn’t about feelings, religious effort, or checking the right boxes. This conversation is shaped by Scripture and lived experience. No fluff. No hype. Just real talk about eternity, repentance, and what it means to truly trust Christ.

After the success of my last episode with Dr. Hawkins (90k plus downloads), Dr. Hawkins suggested we do a sequel on the impact of emotionally immature men, not on marriages like the first interview, but on the kids. Dr. Hawkins' colleague, Ernest Hart, also joins us, and we get brutally practical about what emotional immaturity and emotional abuse actually do to a family over time: how it becomes “normal”, why kids eventually detach, how it shows up in church, and so much more. I really enjoyed this one. I hope you guys do too.
