“If the only way to success is by compromising your convictions, would you still choose success?”

For Michael Seifert, founder of PublicSquare, that was not a hypothetical question. It was a test. With his company’s future on the line, he was offered a massive investment on the condition that he silence his pro-life stance. His answer shaped not only PublicSquare but also the launch of EveryLife, the pro-life diaper company founded by Sarah Gabel Seifert and cofounded by Michael, which puts conviction into action.

After Andrew Ripp’s family broke apart, he moved to California just to get away. His addiction to alcohol eventually led to the destruction of every important relationship in his life. He had grown up in religion, but never had a relationship with a god who could help. He was alone and desperate. But Andrew says even the broken and difficult things in life can be a blessing, if they steer you toward the God who loves you. Today Andrew is a Grammy-nominated songwriter, known for songs like “Jericho,” and “Fill My Cup.” He spends his days writing and singing about the One who saved him.

"I always found more Holy Spirit moments in the question than I did the answer."

When Andrew Ripp felt alone and broken, he turned to people he remembered had peace. When they told him to seek the Lord, Andrew listened—and that's when Andrew found a faith of his own. On this week’s episode of The Unfolding, Andrew shares how God can bring redemption out of brokenness, and how He can do the same for you.

Darin Kinder was a U.S. Secret Service agent working inside the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. After the first tower was hit, he and fellow agents helped people evacuate. When Tower 2 began to collapse, Darin thought, “I’m dead.” His next thought, one he believes came from the Holy Spirit, was a single word: “Run.” That split-second decision began his mad dash for life. But this story is about much more than survival. Darin shares how that day became a turning point in his faith and calling, and why he believes each of us is uniquely designed by God to live courageously and with purpose. This story will not only help you remember 9/11, you’ll also be encouraged to believe that God has a plan for your life and that He will give you the courage to go wherever He leads.

Darin is the founder of Fierce Faith Ministries and author of “Bury Me in a Dirty Suit: Discovering Man’s Valiant Purpose in the Aftermath of 9/11,” dedicated to the 422 first responders who perished at Ground Zero.
