The UnSeen Truth ( Formerly the Blank Check)

Send us Fan Mail

Sometimes God's best sermons don't come from the pulpit—they come from your living room floor.

This week, a simple worship lyric—"Everything I need, my Father has it"—hit me different. Why? Because just 24 hours earlier, I lived out this exact truth with my son, a missing toy, and a full-blown meltdown that would rival any 1985 horror film.

In this episode, I share the hilarious (and convicting) story of how my son's trust issues with a lost toy became a mirror for how we all panic when we can't see what God's holding.

Featuring:

• 80s nostalgia Full House)
• Dad wisdom vs. preschool logic
• The moment God whispered: "Remember yesterday? That's your message."
• The Unseen Truth: You might not be able to see your future, but you can trust the One who holds it.

If you've ever lost your peace, your direction, or your mind wondering where God is… this one's for you.

Long Version (Extended show notes/website):

Episode Overview:

What if the most profound sermon you heard this week didn't come from a pastor—but from a crying child and a missing toy?

This Sunday morning, I was at church when the worship leader sang: "Everything I need, my Father has it."

Simple line. Powerful truth.

But it hit me different because I'd just lived it out the day before with my son in the most hilariously convicting way possible.

What You'll Hear:

🎙️ The Church Setup — How a worship lyric became a divine setup for a personal sermon

🧸 The Toy Crisis — My son's full nuclear meltdown over a missing toy (complete with 1985 slasher-film-level drama)

👨‍👦 80s Dad Protocol — Channeling Mr. Miyagi and Uncle Jesse to calm the chaos

❓ Trust Issues (Preschool Edition) — "Have I ever let you down? Do you trust me?" (Spoiler: He did NOT answer well)

🎯 The Plot Twist — I had the toy the WHOLE time (cue the divine mic drop)

✨ The Unseen Truth — How this became the sermon I didn't know I needed

The Big Takeaway:

You might not be able to see your future, but you can trust the One who holds it.

Just like my son couldn't see his toy while I was holding it the entire time, we often panic, stress, and flip out over things God already has in His hands.

Your peace? He's got it.
 Your healing? He's holding it.
 Your breakthrough? Already secured.
 Your future? Safe in His hands.

Sometimes the blessing isn't in what you can see—it's in WHO is holding it while you can't.

Perfect for:

• Anyone who's ever felt lost or panicked wondering where God is
• Parents who've had divine downloads through their kids
• 80s kids who get the nostalgia references
• Anyone who needs to laugh, be encouraged, and remember that their Father has it

🎈 My son let go of his red balloon by accident. It flew away, and he cried—because he wanted THAT one. Not another balloon. That one.

I knew exactly how he felt.

Because I lost something too. Someone I was not ready to let go of.  I jumped to catch... but it they were already out of reach.

In 1986, Cleveland released 1.5 million balloons to prove they still mattered.

The sky filled with color. Hope rose.

Then a storm hit. The balloons crashed down. Streets jammed. Two men drowned in Lake Erie—lost in a sea of balloons that were supposed to bring joy.

What was meant to lift them... buried them.

💔 This episode is about:

• The things that slip through our fingers
• The desperate ways we try to fill the void
• What happened when I lost someone I loved
• Why balloons are meant to fly
• And the one thing that won't drift away when everything else does

⚠️ This one hits different.

If you're holding something broken tonight... if you've been reaching for something already gone... if you've ever watched something you love float away and wondered if you'll survive it—

This episode is for you.

🎧 Listen with headphones. Give yourself 20 minutes. And hold on to what matters.

Because balloons are meant to fly.

But you? You're meant to stand.

This is The Unseen Truth.

The red balloon is gone. And it's never coming back.

But you're still here.

And that means God's not finished with you yet. 🙏

When Did Thanksgiving Die? 🦃💀

We traded family dinners for doorbuster deals and swapped gratitude for group chats. Friendsgiving has better attendance than actual Thanksgiving, and nobody wants to talk about it.

This episode unpacks how we went from overflowing tables at grandma's house to checking our phones under the table—and why Pastor Mike McClure Jr.'s message "Too Blessed To Not Be Thankful" might be the wake-up call we didn't know we needed.

In This Episode:

• 🛍️ When Thanksgiving became a Black Friday special
• 👥 Why Friendsgiving gets more RSVPs than family dinner
• 🏠 The disappearing art of being present at the table
• 🙏 Pastor Mike McClure Jr.'s message: "Too Blessed To Not Be Thankful"
• ⚖️ Complaint Director vs. Gratitude Owner: which one are you?
• 📖 Psalm 103 and the command to "forget not His benefits"
• 💰 Why you're not self-made—you're grace-subsidized
• 🧠 How whining is a terrible business strategy for your soul

The Bottom Line: Are you building monuments to inconvenience or running a spiritual surplus? It's time to fire the bouncer named Entitlement and remember: gratitude isn't a transaction, it's a posture. You're too blessed to not be thankful.

⏱️ Runtime: 6 minutes
🎯 Perfect For: Anyone who needs a reality check before the holidays, people tired of performative gratitude, listeners ready to become Gratitude Owners

Stay grateful. Stay grounded. Stay blessed. ✨

There are mornings you wake up and it feels like the whole world is pushing against your chest.
 Your mind is loud.
 Your heart is tired.
 Your faith is on the edge.

And still… you rise.
 You step into that unseen arena—
 the battlefield between who you were and who God is calling you to be. ⚔️

This episode is that moment.
 Not a pep talk.
 Not motivation.
 A war cry.

🔥 From the tension of standing alone in the arena…
 🔥 To running through the dark at 5AM, chased by doubt, fear, and every word spoken against you…
 🔥 To realizing the real enemy was never “them”—
 it was the voice inside that told you you wouldn’t survive this…

You’ll walk through spiritual warfare, fatherhood, faith, pain, K-Pop Demon Hunters, and the kind of battles only God can prepare you for.

This episode is a reminder:
 You’re not fighting people.
 You’re fighting spiritual battles that require spiritual strength.
 And when you start walking in that strength?
 Everything that tried to break you becomes evidence of why you can’t be broken. 🛡️

✨ THE UNSEEN TRUTH:
Some storms don’t come to destroy you.
They come to clear your path.

This is an episode you don’t listen to…
 You feel it.
You breathe it.
You walk away different.

Tap in. 🎧
 Your fight isn’t over—
 but neither are you.

I Just Wanted a Coffee… and Realized Why Everyone’s Falling Apart

TRUTH SESSION

Today’s episode began with something simple — a plain black coffee.
But somewhere between the oat milk, almond milk, macadamia milk, and a barista offering spiritual guidance through foam art… I had a moment. A real epiphany. The kind that sneaks up on you in public and quietly rewires the way you see life.

We live in a world that has turned the simplest things into complicated performances.
 Coffee became a personality test.
 Opinions became TED Talks typed on cracked iPhones.
 And somehow, “I’m unbothered” became a seven-slide PowerPoint with timestamps and Drake lyrics.

In this raw, unedited truth session, I break down:

• why everyone swears they’re “healing” but is actually spiraling
• how we confuse mild discomfort with genuine danger
• the rise of performative wisdom (Dr. Phil with a ring light)
• why we’ve traded real peace for curated chaos
• the UNSEEN truth about why we’re all pretending, posturing, and pressed

And yet… the answer is simpler than we think.
 Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is sit with a black coffee, breathe, and tell the truth — not the story you’ve built around yourself.

If this blesses you, good.
 If it offends you, maybe you needed it.
 Either way… welcome to The Unseen Truth.
