Unfiltered Released: Youth Advocate Speaks on what it will take to reach this generation. 




Tonight’s show is with the editor of Duval Connect Magazine Tiffney Funches Tiffney Marie & Co.  She’s a certified life coach and transformational coach, youth pastor with Refresh Youth- a safe space for teens to fellowship and learn about God. 

I’m excited about sharing the conversation we shared which was very open about our experiences within the community. They are not always good and sometimes there are internal conflicts and struggles.




Navigating through them can be hard because it can seem like one false move can lead to the loss of position, support, and future opportunities. 

But then there is also an opportunity to bring forth change even though it may not appear to be that way at first.




I’ve known Tiffney Funches for over five years now. I’ve watched her pour into the youth of the Jacksonville community. No matter where she goes, her love for the youth follows. 



In our chat we discussed the difficulties and challenges that come with advocating for the youth when faced with corporate, and organizational politics.

Sometimes it can be frustrating to have a heart for the community and not be able to make the impact that you truly want. In this video we discuss our shared experiences and what we’ve learned.

No Earthly Good is a fearless, reflective exploration of belief, sacrifice, love, judgment, family, legacy, and acceptance, told through lived experience rather than doctrine. With honesty and spiritual maturity, Candace L. Smith interrogates the ideas we are taught to revere and asks what they cost us when left unexamined. This book is not a rejection of God, love, or community, it is a reckoning with how they are practiced. Through personal reflection and cultural observation, Smith challenges performative faith, unbalanced sacrifice, conditional love, and the pressure to build legacies at the expense of integrity. Written for readers navigating disillusionment, spiritual fatigue, relational grief, and personal growth, No Earthly Good offers clarity without certainty and peace without perfection. It inv...
