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.***TRIGGER WARNING*** This conversation touches on topics of suicide along with racial violence and may be difficult to engage in for some but we invite you into this conversation towards a journey to heal and seek God's kingdom in the midst of brokenness.CONNECT WITH UNSEEN COLLECTIVE:Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/officialunseencollective/Join an Unseen Collective Online Gathering:https://linktr.ee/officialunseencollectiveCREDITS:Theme Song and Additional Music: Causmic https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCptYdIghPgmOl8opbjZrcuA

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 or desire to return to any past time.

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 lot of different hurting populations in ministry and work.This series is for youth, anyone who is leading youth ministry, raising a youth in a world they don't recognize and anyone who is genuinely curious about topics around youth.

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 Iralma starts preaching and this is a message that we're confident will feed you.

We are starting a new series! Unseen recently got an opportunity to serve at a church in York, Pennsylvania for a One Day youth event hosted there. All the episodes in this series will bring us back to our roots--youth (check out the episode, you'll see what I mean). Though this event all happened in one day, it was packed with a lot of rich moments and we wanted to share those with you. In this episode we have two of the Unseen Leaders, Eric and Jawanza, holding a discussion about the event and how the youth in many ways today are misunderstood. Eric was one of the speakers at the event so we get a chance to hear a bit of what he shared and how its adjacent to his own testimony as an unseen youth. This series is for youth, anyone who is leading youth ministry, raising a youth in a world they don't recognize and anyone who is genuinely curious about topics around youth. Join the conversation!
