Negative Possibilities: Recent Episodes
Isaac Jacob Medina
The reality of things evolving through time is almost expected.
This podcast hasn't changed in voice or in topic but has in growth and purpose. Covering the topics and voices that matter from all walks of life.
This is "Negative Possibilities."
An oxymoron tying together my love for Analog Photography. You use a Darkroom for developing the negatives. And after taking many tests and learning that I am a Type 7 and an ENFJ-A personality type, I can definitely agree that possibilities are out there, you just have to be willing to go on an adventure or two to find them.

Ultimately, it emphasizes the church's growing role in advocating for mental health, promoting holistic well-being, and offering spiritual resources alongside professional care, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for all.

Tune in as we unpack this complex emotion, offering insights and coping mechanisms to help you navigate the path to healing and rediscovery. Remember, it's a journey, and you're not alone in it.

Guys, this episode was WAY too much fun! I got to sit down and talk with my good/ old friend Elizabeth Hernandez hailing from Denton Texas! We both practically grew up together in college at UTEP and sort of through the BSM (Baptist Student Ministry) and from there we sorta were always hanging out all the time.
All this time later we're both working or at least trying to, in my case, in the mental health field. We're both "grown ups" with full blown families yet at the end of the day we're both still pretty nerdy. From Parenting to raising children and Dungeons & Dragons we talk about it all on this episode!

I was able to wake up on time and have a really good conversation with my good friend Dontae Neshiro. Dontae lives and teaches in Tokyo Japan and we certainly hit the ground running with tons of thoughts about how teaching is vastly different from one side of the world to the other.
Dontae is also a creative. You can see most of his work on his IG and YouTube Channels to keep up with his musings.
