Unseen Atlanta, an Atlanta Mission Podcast, shines a light on the untold stories of those who have experienced homelessness, revealing the hidden realities of this struggle and inspiring listeners to see hope, resilience, and the possibilities for change in Atlanta and beyond.
Hosted by Rachel Reynolds and Jonathan Miller, each episode tells the real-life story of a journey through hardships like housing insecurity, hunger, trauma, and addiction.
