Heaven's Riskiest Adoption? | unScripted EP 10
04 Apr 2026
The April Adventist Review just dropped and it’s hitting different. Shawn Boonstra sits down with Sikhu Daco to unpack three powerful themes that every Adventist needs right now.
What does adopting a child from Ukraine teach us about how God adopted us?
Why does the General Conference president say good motives aren’t enough if our methods are toxic online?
And what really happened in that upper room when Jesus picked up the towel nobody else would touch?
Raw, unfiltered conversation about unity, deepening our historic faith, and strengthening our unique Adventist identity — exactly why the Review was in 1849.
