An Eternal Perspective Changes Everything
Unseen and Eternal exists to encourage and equip women to fix their eyes on the eternal, and to remain firmly planted in truth in order to love what is lasting.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen but what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

The God Who Sees
All over scripture we see the phrase “looking at them,” or “turning his gaze towards them,” or when Jesus saw…” We know one thing for sure, Jesus did not avoid his people. Maybe you wonder at his interest. Maybe you aren’t sure where you stand before him. Maybe you aren’t sure he would look directly into your eyes if given the choice, so it may be of interest to see some examples of a variety of people he engaged. They are imperfect. So are we. He is still looking.
Firmly Planted Study
As moms, we make big and little choices every day that ripple into forever. Under the premise that the work of being a mom is eternal in nature, author Emily Taylor spent two years interviewing women at various stages in their parenting journeys regarding their perspectives on mom life. Themes surfaced. Challenges that seemed nearly universal in nature inspired the study that flowed from these pages.
Written to encourage, equip and inspire moms who hope to stand with feet firmly planted in truth — despite storms that rush in and winds that blow. With an introduction and five additional weeks of content, each week offers five days of study as an opportunity to examine a specific challenge to mom life, consider what is true, and write a custom strategy at it’s closing. The material is written so that you might work through it on your own, or grab some friends and discuss it each week.
- Week 1: Introduction
- Week 2: Identity
- Week 3: Control / Worry
- Week 4: Nurtured to Nurture
- Week 5: Pace and Purpose
- Week 6: Find Your People
