    Sabbath, Communism and Praying for the Government - Pavel Goia

    In this episode of Here We Stand, Dr. David Shin sits down with Pastor Pavel Goia—an international evangelism trainer whose gripping testimony of surviving under Romania's brutal communist regime raises profound questions about faith, compromise, and divine intervention. Growing up under Nicolae Ceaușescu’s oppressive dictatorship, Goia faced severe, life-altering tests of Sabbath keeping, stretching from his teenage glass business to his university education and mandatory military service. At every crisis, when threatened with immediate imprisonment or professional ruin, he chose total surrender over compromise, witnessing mind-blowing miracles—including heavy sheets of glass hanging suspended in mid-air and a sudden, nationwide dictatorial decree that closed schools on Saturdays. Having later served nine years as editor of Ministry Magazine, Pastor Goia now trains frontline workers globally with Adventist World Radio. Today, he and Dr. Shin engage in a candid conversation that challenges modern Adventist believers to move beyond routine, superficial forms into a deep, power-filled relationship with Jesus Christ.

    Bill Haley, Music and Conviction - Pr. Louis Torres

    In this episode of Here We Stand, Dr. David Shin sits down with Pastor Louis R. Torres—an international evangelist whose journey from rock-and-roll to global ministry raises compelling questions about music, morality, and conviction. As a young man, Torres played bass guitar for Bill Haley & His Comets in the late 1960s, but at the height of opportunity, he walked away from his music career after a deep spiritual conviction led him to embrace the Seventh-day Adventist faith. He went on to serve as a pastor, evangelist, and church leader, including as president of the Guam-Micronesia Mission, and co-founded the Mission College of Evangelism with his wife Carol—training thousands for frontline ministry. Now serving with Adventist World Radio, Pastor Torres reflects on the personal decisions that reshaped his life, while he and Dr. Shin engage in a candid, thought-provoking conversation about the spiritual influence of music, the role of conscience, and what it means to live with unwavering conviction in a complex world.

    Meditation, Media, and the Battle for Your Brain - Dr. Nedley

    Is modern “healthcare” really making us healthy? Why are depression, anxiety, obesity, and chronic disease exploding—while we spend $5.3 trillion a year trying to fix them? In this eye-opening episode of Here We Stand, Dr. David Shin sits down with Weimar University’s president, Dr. Neil Nedley to confront a sobering reality: what we call “healthcare” is often just disease management. Drawing on clinical experience from the NEWSTART and Depression and Anxiety Recovery programs, this conversation explores a radically biblical, deeply scientific vision of whole-person restoration—body, mind, and soul. From the frontal lobe and neuroplasticity to spiritual formation and freedom of choice, this episode makes a bold claim: transformation is possible, but only when we stop compartmentalizing health and recover an ethical, Christ-centered framework for healing. In this powerful discussion, you’ll learn: Why “disease care” can stabilize people without truly restoring them—and what a real healthcare model should include.How depression/anxiety and physical illness reinforce each other (sleep, fatigue, hypertension, and more) and why treating one in isolation falls short.The difference between Eastern-style mindfulness and biblically grounded “Western meditation,” including the role of ethics and the frontal lobe.Practical pathways to transformation: NEWSTART’s 8 remedies, addressing biochemistry and thought patterns, and even a smartphone reset to rebuild focus and emotional control.

    Sunday Laws, Christian Nationalism, and the End of the World - Pr. Don Mackintosh

    What do you think? Comment below.Is America about to “save the family” by mandating a day of rest? And if the state enforces worship-shaped laws—what happens to conscience, Sabbath truth, and religious liberty?Pastor Don Mackintosh is Director of the Health Evangelism Leadership Program, pastor of the Weimar University Church, and professor of religion at Weimar University. A former emergency room nurse and current chaplain for the campus Depression and Anxiety Recovery Program, he brings practical experience and pastoral insight to conversations on faith, health, and whole-person restoration. In this episode of Here We Stand, Dr. David Shin and Pastor Mackintosh unpack the controversy around a Heritage Foundation proposal calling for a “uniform day of rest,” and why that wording raises historic and prophetic concerns for Seventh-day Adventists. The discussion makes careful distinctions: Sabbath rest is a gift—but Sabbath-by-coercion is a threat. From colonial “blue laws” to Roger Williams, from Constantine to Revelation 13, the episode argues America’s strength isn’t enforced religion—it’s freedom of conscience and a church that persuades like the Lamb, not legislates like the dragon.

    Reclaiming the Prophet? - Dr. Dojcin Zivadinovic

    Can a prophet be “kind of” inspired?Or does the very idea of a prophetic “gray zone” rewrite the Bible’s definition of prophecy? The conversation features Dr. David Shin in dialogue with Dr. Dojcin Zivadinovic, a professor of Religion at Weimar University. He holds a Ph.D. in Church History from Andrews Theological Seminary and has served at Weimar for more than a decade. He teaches Prophetic Guidance—a course exploring the life, ministry, and writings of Ellen G. White, among other courses.In this timely conversation, we address the online firestorm surrounding Reclaiming the Prophet—a book that Pacific Press chose not to further circulate after consultation with the Ellen White Estate. With calm conviction and a Bible-first lens, the discussion argues that the book doesn’t merely raise questions—it redefines prophecy in a way that quietly undermines prophetic authority. The result? A “buffet” approach to the Spirit of Prophecy where the reader becomes the final judge—exactly the kind of confusion Scripture warns against. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why the Bible’s tests for true vs. false prophets don’t leave room for a “gray zone” (and why that matters for spiritual accountability)The key distinction they make between personal fallibility and prophetic reliabilityEllen White’s own statements rejecting the idea that her messages become “corrupted” between vision and writingA direct response to allegations of plagiarism—plus why the 1980s legal review is raised as a decisive counterpointWhat the discussion says about literary assistants like Marian Davis—and why “co-author” claims are treated as historically recycled attacksWhy framing Ellen White’s night writing as “chronic insomnia” is criticized as speculative and spiritually corrosiveA practical guide for reading Ellen White fairly: context, topic-wide comparison, principle vs. application, and starting with general-audience booksTheir warning that “discriminating” between divine and human in the testimonies can become the very tactic that makes the gift of prophecy powerless in daily life

    Charlie Kirk, DEI and False Revival - Dr. Neil Nedley

    Can a biblical institution remain accredited without surrendering its convictions? In our first episode we dive straight into one of the most controversial questions facing faith-based education today. Joined by Dr. Neil Nedley, the conversation dismantles common assumptions about accreditation, DEI, and cultural pressure. Drawing from firsthand experience, Dr. Nedley explains why accreditation itself isn’t the real threat—and why government funding is often where compromise actually begins. He explains: - Why “we had to do it for accreditation” is often a convenient myth  - How Weimar defined DEI using Scripture rather than progressive ideology  - The hidden difference between accreditation standards and government mandates  - Why debate hardens hearts—and medical missionary work transforms them  - A bold vision for education, healing, and evangelism in the final moments of history   Here We Stand is a conversational podcast grounded in biblical conviction and faithful living. Hosted by Dr. David Shin, Chair of Religion at Weimar University, the podcast engages theology, science, health, and current issues through Scripture-centered conversation. Each episode calls listeners to think biblically, live faithfully, and stand firm in a shifting world. In a culture of compromise, Here We Stand.
