About us

The Show: The initial idea for "Intersection: Your World, Your Faith" came from Pastor Jan Paulsen, General Conference president. He wanted a program that would discuss topics that affect every Christian's life, and which would present a unique Seventh-day Adventist take on current issues. The discussions on "Intersection" range from social to spiritual to family and feature a variety of different experts, church leaders, teachers and lay members of the Adventist Church.  We want our discussion to be a starting point for other discussions in small groups, Bible studies, and Sabbath School classes.
