   Levitating Tables, Haunted Nights, and a Life Redeemed

   What do you do when religion cannot answer your deepest questions, when tradition feels hollow, and when curiosity pulls you into the unseen world? In this premiere episode of Unscripted, Pastor Stephan Kilgore sits down with Kathy Boltin to hear her extraordinary story of faith, struggle, and transformation.Kathy grew up in a Catholic home where prayer was taught but never explained as a relationship. As a young girl she remembers praying to saints, whispering requests to spirits, and even participating in strange games where tables levitated and children claimed they could lift one another into the air. At the time it felt normal. Looking back, she realizes those moments were not innocent games but open doors into a spiritual confusion that would follow her for years.Her story does not stop there. As the oldest of seven children, Kathy carried responsibilities beyond her age, especially after her mother’s breakdown. By her teenage years she was desperate for escape and threw herself into a relationship that became her way out. Marriage, family, and the demands of life came quickly. On the outside she looked stable. On the inside she was still searching for something real. The turning point came in the most unexpected place: a home décor sales company. What started as a way to earn extra money and decorate her house exposed her to coworkers who carried a joy she could not shake. They invited her to Bible studies. They prayed with her. They planted seeds that would eventually lead to the moment she encountered the Holy Spirit in a way that changed her forever.In this episode Kathy reveals: Why religious rituals left her empty and searching. The hidden dangers of spiritual counterfeits that look harmless at first. The exact night she was overwhelmed by the presence of God and began to pray in a language she had never learned. Why prayer has become the anchor of her life for nearly fifty years. How she encourages those who are still searching and those who have prayed for years for someone they love.Her story raises a question every listener must face: Am I just practicing religion, or do I truly know Him? This episode will take you through laughter, shock, and deep reflection. Kathy’s journey shows the reality of the spiritual world and the even greater reality of Jesus Christ who rescues, redeems, and restores. If you have ever wondered if God still changes lives, this conversation will challenge you to see that He does. And if you are praying for a spouse, child, or friend to experience salvation, Kathy’s testimony will give you the strength to keep going.
