  • Unseen Influences
    Sep 1 2023
    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 and looking at them through a biblical grid. These two incidents both have pain, unspeakable loss and racial violence in common but they also speak of spiritual influence. Tiffany and Jawanza throughout this episode will introduce both stories for anyone who hasn't heard of them, grieve, attempt to approach these tragedies 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 to heal and seek God's kingdom in the midst of brokenness with us.

  • Unseen Contentment | Jawanza and Sandy Fenelus
    Aug 25 2023
    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.

  • Unseen Youth | Chapter 3 | Johanna Muñoz
    Aug 11 2023
    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!

  • Unseen Youth | Chapter 2 | Iralma Gonzalez
    Aug 4 2023
    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. 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!
