What if your faith story feels too ordinary for God to use? In this raw, unfiltered episode of unScripted, Shawn Boonstra sits down with assistant editor Hannah Drewieck to talk about staying connected to your world church — and why the quiet, everyday faith might actually be the most powerful kind. Hannah shares her surprising journey from Hope Channel International to Adventist Review, how she shepherds powerful “experiences” stories (heritage, mission, testimonies), and the devotional that stopped the whole team in their tracks: Daniel's secret to lion's den courage wasn't one big miracle — it was something he did three times every day. Plus: • The vulnerable adoption story that will make you rethink what “God's plan” really looks like • The 19th-century missionary who risked everything with no salary, no backup, and started something that's still growing in India today • Why fear of rejection or “messing up” shouldn't stop you from sharing your faith (and what to do instead) If you've ever wondered whether your steady, non-dramatic walk with God counts… this one's for you.

Shawn Boonstra, Saturday Night Service at the 2021 Northern New England Conference Camp Meeting.

Sermons and presentations from the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary weekly worship service.

The prophecies in the Bible reaffirm the fact that Jesus will return to earth. But when will that be? How soon is He coming back? Shawn Boonstra and Kurt Johnson continue our Discover Bible Guide series and dig into Scripture with lesson #10.Note: Today's episode is an encore presentation.

One of the most difficult things to think about as a Christian can be the whole idea that God is going to put you on trial. That at the end of everything, you will have to answer for your life. It is such a scary prospect that some Christians reject the concept altogether. On this program Shawn Boonstra takes an honest look at the judgment with some surprising insights.
