What We Do Here, Echoes for Eternity – Eric Bosshard

Faith on the Other Six days – Chris Winkelmann

“I try to have my faith be the filter through which I do everything.

Finding Redemptive Purpose – Michael Mancari

“If you had a movie title to describe your life, what would it be?…Mine would be The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly because all of us have lives that are a combination of those things.

Humble yourself and allow God to bring about healing in your life and bring a redemptive purpose for your life.” – Michael Mancari

Chased Down by the Love of God – Dan Kilker

“For the first time in my whole life, I looked at myself and self-reflected. I am looking at all these kids, ‘yes, Jesus is the best thing ever. Yes, this is what life is about. Yes, you can have joy and all of this stuff.’ But I don’t have this. I have heard all of the things, but I don’t know all of the things…I could just feel that something happened in this week. Life is not going to be the same anymore and it can’t be.” – Dan Kilker

Steven Gamauf

“There are hundreds…thousands of people out there who are good at hiding in the corner. Jesus has convicted every single one of us that those are people that we need to reach as well. I think it is really easy to fly under the radar for a very long time and the craziness for probably most people who are listening to this is that you’ll encounter hundreds of people in a day possibly…Constantly my brain is thinking about how many people can fly under the radar in a day…Seek the people who are hiding in the corner.” – Steven Gamauf

Lynnie Carden

“Something I noticed looking back, was that my faith wasn’t in Jesus. It was in the people that surrounded Jesus. That was a very unstable ground, obviously. In those times of really struggling with my family, and this relationship I had as a teenager, I didn’t have a stable foundation because I didn’t know Jesus. I just knew the people around Him. I collected information about Jesus. I didn’t really pray as a way to have a relationship with Him. I prayed as a way to get more information on Him and fill Him in on what is happening. It wasn’t’ a listening. It was a telling.” – Lynnie Carden

This week on Unscripted we get to hear the amazing story of Lynnie Carden. From growing up not knowing who Jesus is, to discovering him at camp, we get to hear Lynnie’s story of learning what putting your faith fully in Jesus looks like.
