Today we have a heavy and necessary conversation with two Unseen Leaders Tiffany Sainvil and Jawanza Fenelus. In this episode we will be looking at the Montgomery Brawl and the recent Jacksonville, FL shooting through a biblical grid. These two incidents both have pain, fallout and racial violence in common but they also speak of the spiritual influence that was under the surface for both events. Tiffany and Jawanza throughout this episode will introduce both stories for anyone who hasn't heard of them, grieve, and attempt to approach these topics with grace and truth.

Hey Unseen! Today we have an episode with an Unseen married couple Jawanza and Sandy Fenelus about contentment. This episode will address aging from their perspectives as they talk through how they've observed the older generations processing aging and how the youth today are processing their youth. How can we fully live in today without the temptation to resent our present or compare ourselves to the other generations? Though that question may not be answered fully, we hope this episode will help any listener of any age to embrace this season through contentment and not rush to any future...

Juan shares wisdom from parenthood, his own journey with desiring and seeing a multicultural church and tells some rich stories about some unconventional ways he's reached people from different cultures and...

We are continuing our series about our time as a Collective serving at a One Day youth event and what we gleaned from it. We got a chance to do a panel and answer questions that people had about very difficult topics. On today's episode we cover one of those questions asked by a youth about a friend who deals with suicidal thoughts. Johanna Muñoz brings us into a necessary and relevant conversation about youth and mental health through her experience as a social worker. She does this by profession and has a ton of experience working with a...

Hey Unseen! Today we have our second episode in our series called Unseen Youth where we served in York, PA at a Youth One Day event. We are blessed to have one of our Unseen leaders, Iralma Gonzalez, talk to us about her journey in letting God use her and share some background about her message that she shared at the One Day. We get into necessary conversation about not being controlled by a false narrative, living through the grid of transparency, and walking in spiritual freedom while still suffering. This one is a little longer than normal because...

Pardon our hiatus, WE ARE BACK! Today we have an episode close to our hearts with some very special people! CarolAnne Tsai and Kimberly Pasley lead a group called For Racial Reconciliation where they lean into difficult conversations about race for the sake of seeing racial unity in the body of Christ.

The vulnerability and affection they lead their group with, they give us the same gifts in our podcast today. In light of that expect to laugh, hear great...

Unseens very own Tiffany Sainvil spoke at NOW Conference during a group conversation on stage and began to unpack the concept of about us being aware of our own inconsistencies and flaws.

In this episode Jag and Jawanza have a discussion from an excerpt of Tiff sharing her heart around that phrase and what it means to her as a woman of color, a mother and a follower of Jesus. The fellas get into a needed conversation...
