How Quiet Faith Wins | unScripted EP 13

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.
