But before we go, hear our updates and encouraging words as we finish season 3!

Are you a leader or a follower? The answer is probably both. So this week we're talking about how it matters what we are following and how we are leading. What goes in... comes out.. so what content are we consuming? WHOSE content are we consuming? And if you're a leader.. who is following you and what are you leading them to? This episode is a call to higher living all around. It matters!

It's been a while since we have done a "get to know us" type episode and well, SO MANY THINGS have changed since the last time we did one. So we thought it would be fun to do an updated Q&A but with some really thought provoking and deep questions! We TRY (and fail) to keep it brief and we LAUGHED OUR HEADS OFF in this one. We had a blast, so we hope you enjoy getting to know our hearts a little deeper. As always, keep the faith and see the joy. Follow us on social media @joyunseenpodcast...

So, how do we find that balance? Is there even such thing as balance? Listen in as we discuss what the bible has to say about it.
