How To Be Seen
Hosted by iMoves Management · EN
At the complex intersection of identity, faith, and culture, How To Be Seen explores the universal human drive for recognition through the lenses of behavioral science and biblical theology. Hosted by Tahjma VanBuren, the show investigates the lengths we go to achieve status and the vital psychological distinction between performing for an audience versus being authentically known. Ultimately, it serves as a reference guide for listeners to embrace a sense of worthiness rooted in the truth that they are already fully seen and valued by God.

Are You Creating Space for God to Show Off? (4 Times I Self Sabotaged)
2w ago00:24:01Tap to summarizeGod is a show off.Our world obsessed with self-promotion and personal branding. The idea of being “seen” can feel overwhelming, even paralyzing. For many, especially those of faith, the tension between humility and visibility is so real. But what if being seen isn’t about self-glorification at all? What if it’s about creating space for God to show off.He demonstrates His power in remarkable ways—from the ten plagues in Exodus to everyday moments of provision in 2026. This episode is your permission (and plea) to stop putting God in a box and instead create space for Him to work through your struggles with visibility, fear, and self-doubt. Scripture mentioned in this episode:Luke 12:22-24 & 27-28 --> Do Not WorryGenesis 16 --> Hagar and El RoiExodus 7–12 --> The Ten PlaguesGenesis 1:6–10 --> Separating water from water Exodus 20:3–5 --> I am a jealous GodJohn 2:1–11 --> Jesus changes water into wineJames 2:14–26 --> Faith without works is deadLuke 5:17–26 --> The paralyzed manOther content mentioned in this episode:Tim Ross's mom, fries, and feeding birdsHagar and El Roi -- a previous How To Be Seen EpisodeDid you listen to the last episode?

Transcribe →Accountability: The Glow Up Step You’re Skipping | 1 Samuel 15
Mar 3000:37:23Tap to summarizeWe love to talk about the "big" sins like they’re the only thing keeping us from faith and identity alignment, but let’s talk about the real stronghold: pride and that "ask for forgiveness, not permission" energy. In this episode, we’re moving through the science of it all: the prefrontal cortex and why your 25+ year old brain is still struggling to choose the Tree of Life over your own "good ideas." We look at Saul’s disobedience and how even the wild story of Tamar shows how God can take our tenacity and redeem it for His purposes. This isn't about being "well-behaved," rather it's about shifting your identity and belonging back to the One who actually knows and sees you. 00:00 Intro00:35 Dirty Room05:31 Pride and Rebellion07:03 1 Samuel 1511:02 Human Development19:53 Redemption21:06 Acts 923:44 Genesis 3831:03 Accountability32:29 Jeremiah 1833:43 Action StepsThis podcast is hosted by Tahjma VanBuren, produced and managed by the iMoves Management team. imovesmanagement.com

Mar 2300:21:48Tap to summarizeActually, you're not naggy for wanting to be truly seen. It’s literally your biology! We’re getting a little technical with the science of attachment, autonomy, and identity. Plus, I’m putting Tyra Banks and Diddy under the microscope to show how unchecked pride and the need to be desired can detrimental. I'll point all of this back to Hagar of Genesis 16 to remind us that God is "El Roi"— God who truly sees us, especially when the world doesn't.00:00:42 - The science of attachment vs. autonomy00:07:24 - Brené Brown00:10:16 - Tyra Banks, America's Next Top Model, and Diddy00:15:39 - Hagar, Sarai, Abram and El Roi00:19:17 - Affirmation & ActionThis podcast is hosted by Tahjma VanBuren.Produced and managed by the iMoves Management team imovesmanagement.com.

In this episode Tahjma VanBuren connects with messaging strategist and copywriter Justine Wentzell-Chang to discuss some of the reasons your brand voice might be falling flat.
