Are we only moral because we're being watched? - AUTHENTIC with Shawn Boonstra

You slip on a ring, and SNAP! You're invisible. What will you do with this power? This week, Shawn Boonstra turns to an old fable of Plato's to confront who we are in the dark, when no one is looking. But while it's easy to sin in secret, the ancient wisdom of Proverbs reminds us: there's a real cost even in this life...and a REAL path to your authentic self. Some NEWS: As many of you already know, after 12 years of leading VOP, Shawn felt it was time to move on and left VOP at the end of May to start working as an associate editor at the Adventist Review. So this is actually the last new episode of Authentic! We are already missing Shawn, but we thank God for the nine wonderful seasons we had, on top of all the other blessings he brought to the ministry. Next week we will start a summer best-of rotation. In the meantime, the search is ongoing for a new VOP speaker/director.

We talk about real existential questions—stuff that everybody wonders about: the meaning of life, purposeful living, the nature of human existence, the thoughts of great philosophers and how those have impacted our culture and how we live—the nature of love, relationships, emotions, self-awareness . . . But most of all, we explore what it means to live an authentic human existence. New episodes on Saturdays. Watch on YouTube and a growing list of North American TV networks and stations.
