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.

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.
