In the final episode, I decided to leave you all with a small word. What is the status of your faith? How will you react when things don't go your way or when prayers seem to go unanswered? Hebrews 11 says, "These people all died controlled and sustained by their faith, but not having received the tangible fulfillment of God's promises."  Basically, faith means believing in God even if what we're believing him for never comes to fruition or it seems like it will never happen.

I'm Tired of This Church (Part One)

I'm Tired of This Church (Part Two)

This week we are joined by digital content creator and entrepreneur Symphony Webb (@symphony_speaks + @urbancultureapparel_) to discuss the journey of finding your perfect fit when it comes to your desired place of worship and what can or has turned you off instantly about your current or previous church. 

Blogger and podcast host, Jeaiza Quinones joins the UNconvntional Christian Podcast to discuss a subject and phrase violently clinging to many social media bios of young, (typically) single Christians: “I want to be/I am looking for a Proverbs 31 woman.” So, what does the opposite of the Proverbs 31 woman look like, does she or can she still have the same qualities without fitting this mold? What if she never even gets married? Does that mean she’s not living up to her God-given potential as a female? Does that mean she’s living in sin? And what if you don’t want to be a Proverbs 31 woman? Chime into the conversation as we voice our opinions about this overly praised obsession.

Shalondria Taylor (@shalondriataylor) joins us behind the mic to discuss vision, prayer, and fasting, making adjustments to the way we see and think in faith, and how utilizing spiritual tools to align ourselves with the will of God is not to be done perfectly but authentic to how he sees us.
