Unveiled: Recent Episodes
Jordyn Imari
Welcome to the Unveiled podcast, friends! The Unveiled podcast is an extension of Unveiled Ministries, which also includes a blog and bible studies. This ministry was founded on Philippians 1:6 and is a safe space where we uncover the work of art Christ has started in each of us. All the content of this ministry focuses on cultivating emotional health and spirituality. We’ve grown up in a culture that glorifies self, but not authentic self-care: the kind that only comes from a relationship with Jesus. So, let's unpack what it looks like to serve a God who cares about our entire well-being. Connect with the host, Jordyn Imari on Instagram @jordynimari

So, they crossed your boundaries, huh? I got you.
As people, we can be really messy. Not everyone has the same values, respect, or intentions. The good news is—there is room for us to decide what we will and will not tolerate in our lives. God is glorified through boundaries. They help us show up just as He intended.
This episode gives some practical tips on what to do when someone crosses your boundaries. Let's get into it.

So, I cried in this episode. Yeah, it happened—but I'm so glad I did because it shows that I'm still healing, learning, and growing in this area. If you're struggling with understanding the importance of healthy boundaries, this episode is for you.
In this episode we tackle:
- why boundaries are important
- the biblical evidence for boundaries
- my mistakes with boundaries
- God's redeeming plan for boundaries
And I get a little emotional, y'all because I know what it's like to not have boundaries and it nearly killed me.
This is what it NOT having boundaries lead to:
- ruined credit
- heartbreak
- emotional abuse
- having to leave my church
I want to share my mistakes and what I've learned on this journey and I hope it gives you encouragement.
Scripture references:
- Adam's stewardship of the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:15)
- Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5; verses 22-23)

We're officially on season 3 and we couldn't be more excited!
To kick the season off, our host, Jordyn Imari brought on a very special guest! Chi Zhou is the founder of Salt and Light Inc.which sells handcrafted body oils, body butter, and scrubs.
Just like most of us, 2020 TESTED Chi and she had no choice but to lean on the Lord. Through that season, God gave her a revelation about living an abundant and prosperous life. She filled her vision board with a Tesla and a million dollar home and just KNEW that God would provide. Sounds amazing, right?
Listen to this raw and transparent episode where Chi and Jordyn dive into what it means to live in abundance.

"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” -Matthew 5:10Say what? If I'm persecuted for righteousness I'm considered blessed?
In the final episode of the Beatitudes & Emotional Health series AND the final episode of season 2 of the Unveiled podcast, our host Jordyn Imari, unpacks the truth about picking up your cross and following Jesus Christ.
Let's get into it!
Scripture references:
- Beatitude (Matthew 5:10)
- Christians hated by the world (John 15:19-20)
- No one can serve two masters (Matthew 6:24)
- Eventually, there will be no more sorrow (Revelation 21:4)
What does it look like to be a peacemaker?
Take a moment to picture Jesus on the cross.
We were sinners in conflict with God. We deserved death. However, Jesus took it upon himself to become sin in order to make peace and reconcile us back to God. He stood in our place. He took the blame for us. And his name was certainly not cleared, because they put Him to death.
Listen to this powerful episode where our host, Jordyn Imari, talks about what it means for us to be a peacemaker; and when we can't necessarily make peace, how to humble ourselves and allow God to fight our battles. Because He 's a God who fights for us.
But He can't fight for us if we're always standing in the way trying to throw the first punch.
Tune in!
Scripture references
- Matthew 5:9 (Beatitude)
- Romans 12:18(living at peace as much as possible)

So, about this heart of mine––can it be bad?
In today's episode, our host, Jordyn Imari is diving into part 6 of this series. She's discussing what the Bible says about our hearts. The Lord is concerned with our hearts as opposed to our outside appearance because the heart is where our innermost desires, thoughts, sense of calling and purpose, our understanding, and character reside.
In essence, who you are, what you think, what you say, how you act, flows from the heart.
Let's get into one of the most loving, yet broken parts of ourselves.
Scripture references:
- Beatitude: Matthew 5:8
- Guarding your heart: Proverbs 4:23
- Inside vs. Outside appearance: 1 Samuel 16:7
- Jesus rebukes Pharisees: Matthew 23
- David's prayer of repentance: Psalm 51

Mercy is a heart posture. And it only comes from a heart that has felt spiritual emptiness. This merciful heart has grieved its sin and has learned to wait meekly for the timing of the Lord, and it has learned to cry out in hunger for God’s righteousness.
- Are you struggling with seeing others as more than their mistakes?
- Are you someone who struggles with showing compassion?
- Are you mistakingly living in "deservedness"?
Episode scripture references:
- Matthew 5:7 (Beatitude)
- Titus 3:5 (God's mercy)
- Luke 10:25-37 (The Good Samaritan)

Cut off culture. Cancel culture. Don't like someone? Unfriend them. This is the world in which we live.
As Believers, we're called to do the opposite, though. We're called to pursue peace, forgive, reconcile relationships, and live peacefully among others as best we can.
It's not always easy, though –– I know. But what does this say about your spirituality and emotional health if you can get this area of your life together? Tune in and let's chat!
We tackle:
+ restoring relationships
+ failed reconciliation
+ actively pursuing peace
Scripture reference: Matthew 5:6

Gina Rodriguez from the hit TV show Jane the Virgin was under extreme scrutiny after a video she posted showed her rapping along to the song “Ready or Not.” In this video, she says the N-word. We’re not going to speak on her use of the n-word in this podcast episode, but her apology about it. Many people didn’t like it. They thought it was insincere. She said, “I’m sorry if I offended anyone,” and that she grew up on the song. So what was missing?
Our host, Jordyn Imari is going to dive into a lesser talked about topic: Apologies. What are they, how do we give them sincerely, and she’ll discuss the 5 languages of apology, created by New York Times Best-Selling Author of The Five Love Languages, Gary Chapman.

Have you ever heard someone tell you that if you don't like something, change it? Does that overarching statement apply to physical insecurities? We all have insecurities, but most of the time we fail to tackle the root of them. Let's dive into this discussion!
As believers and followers of Christ, we’re called to first love one another and we’re also called to serve each other. Part of that is understanding and offering your hand of compassion to those who need it.
Being a Christian millennial can be hard sometimes. Unveiled with Jordyn Imari is where we remove the masks, release the pressure, and uncover the work of art Christ has started in each and every one of us. Join me in raw discussion on this show as we journey together in the Lord.
