A wife, mama to four, business owner, Jesus lover, and recovered people-pleasing Christian. I have been teaching, encouraging, and leading people for over 15 years. Despite having grown up on a church pew, there came a time in my walk with the Lord when I realized I was following the Christian checklist of things to do right vs an actual relationship with our loving father. I knew it wasn’t right and that something had to change. I started asking the Lord to give me a hunger for His presence and His Word that only He could give. And boy did He show up. I was more in love with Jesus than I had ever been. And now He has called me to serve you with this podcast.

From Prophecy to Promise: Unpacking Jesus' Fulfillment in Scripture
Hey friend!
It's almost one of my favorite weeks of the year, Holy Week. It's the week where every single day we celebrate something significant happening that leads up to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ!
In today's episode, we are digging into some scriptures from the Old Testament and some from the New testament that show us Jesus fulfilling prophecies perfectly.Why does any of this matter?
- Jesus fulfilling prophecies validates His identity as the promised Messiah. It confirms His divine nature and establishes His authority as the Son of God.
- The fulfillment of prophecies provides a bridge between the Old and New Testaments, showing the continuity of God's plan throughout history.
- Seeing prophecies fulfilled in Jesus reassures believers of God's faithfulness to His promises. It demonstrates that God can be trusted to fulfill His word, bringing comfort and confidence to those who follow Him.
- Understanding these prophecies helps individuals grasp the depth of God's plan for redemption and salvation through Jesus Christ.
If He did it before, He will do it again.His promises are true and He keeps His Word
Until next time,
Sam

Feeling Burnout? Overwhelmed? Tired? 3 Ways To Overcome Overwhelm & Strengthen Your Faith.
In today's episode, we break down some of the root cause of burnout and overwhelm while lining it up with scripture. I share some of my personal experiences with burnout and the cultural pressure to work harder. Emphasizing the importance of relying on God for strength and finding a better way to do life.
Friend, burnout is not your birthright.
You do not have to live a life that is stressful, too much, overwhelming, isolating. It's not who you were called to be. God has MUCH BETTER in store for you!
Takeaways
Burnout is a common experience, and it is important to recognize the signs and take steps to prevent it.
Cultural messages often promote the idea that working harder and doing more leads to success, but scripture reminds us to rely on God's strength.
Prioritizing spiritual boundaries and practices, seeking God's guidance, and finding rest in Him can help avoid burnout and deepen our relationship with the Lord.
If you are feeing this way and need someone to walk through it with you, head to theabundantwoman.co/discipleship to get on the waitlist for our upcoming 7 week discipleship program. We will tackle this topic and much more together!

Hey friends!
Delve deep into the concept of sanctification on this episode of the Abundant Woman Collective podcast. Learn how as a Christian woman, you can be more Christlike and deepen your relationship with Jesus.
Understand that sanctification isn't just about ticking off good deeds, it's a continuous process of personal transformation under Christ’s salvation.
Together, we will explore how sanctification isn't just about professing love for God, but about demonstrating this love through action, even during hard times. It's not a quick fix solution but a lifelong process that I can't wait to chat with you about.Praying this episode spurs on a charge for holiness for all of us Christian ladies.

In this conversation, we chat about the concept of becoming a new creation in Christ and the transformation that occurs when one chooses to follow Him. I emphasize the importance of maintaining the fire and passion of new believers and not allowing it to diminish over time. I encourage you to put Jesus first in the new year and to prioritize your relationship with Him above all else. One of my favorite parts about God is His unchanging nature we talk about that a little bit too.
A few takeaways:Choosing to follow Christ leads to a spiritual rebirth and a change in behavior, identity, and way of life.It is important to maintain the fire and passion of new believers and not allow it to diminish over time.Putting Jesus first in the new year and prioritizing one's relationship with Him leads to true transformation.Falling in love with Jesus every day is the key to sanctification and living a life that imitates Him.

Hey friends!
Do you know that you have a story to tell? That you can use the good, bad, and ugly things in life for His glory and for a bigger purpose?
Whether it is social media or a chat with a next door neighbor, authentic/real conversations are a powerful way to connect with each other, bring each other hope, and help to point women to Jesus.
This is a core value for us here at The Abundant Woman Collective and I am so excited for today’s conversation with Sabrina Hammond.
Sabrina Hammonds is passionate about the stories, testimonies, and transformations of others. It’s no wonder why God called her into the business of helping women share their message. Our stories and transformations were never meant just for ourselves. They are gifts and treasures to be given away to those that need them.
Kingdom Connections Podcast & Media Agency was founded on a key principle that the Lord gave Sabrina: Quality vs Quantity. It is all about creating strategic connections between clients and podcast hosts so Kingdom collaboration can happen. It’s more than just interviews and numbers, it’s about bringing people together as one body and leveraging each other’s gifts for God’s glory. As a result, women are coming together like never before and elevating each other, supporting one another, and utilizing each other’s strengths to serve others.
In today’s episode, we discuss the transformative power of personal stories and testimonies. I recount my own unexpected entry into podcasting and the impact stories can have on both the speakers and listeners. They emphasize the importance of overcoming self-doubt and sharing stories, even when it feels uncomfortable.
Sabrina then delves into the work she does to connect Christian women, particularly coaches, authors, and speakers, with podcast opportunities. She emphasizes the significance of understanding each individual's message and story holistically, not just focusing on their professional endeavors. Sabrina also shares how God has moved in her business and she is now sharing her own story.
Inside this episode, we also discuss practical ways to encourage others through social media or real-life interactions, emphasizing the need for vulnerability and authenticity. You won’t just hear our stories, but we are charging you to start sharing yours as well. Start sharing bits and pieces of your story in conversations or with friends.
Our stories and testimonies are not just for ourselves; they are meant to be shared to inspire and encourage others. Sabrina encourages women to seek help, connect with supportive communities, and embrace their unique gifts and stories as valuable contributions to the Kingdom.
I can’t wait to hear what you think about this episode. Be sure to share this online and tag us! And share your thoughts inside of the Facebook group!
Until next time,
Sam

Hey friend!
Does your family celebrate Santa? Does a little Elf visit your house every night? Or maybe you don't do any of that and celebrate a different way instead?
Whatever traditions you have in your house, this episode is for you.
Join me and my guest CC Bloom. C.C. is a Christian wife, mama to four kiddos, homeschool parent, former foster mama, and now adoptive parent. She is a gifted storyteller who loves looking to the Bible, history, life experiences, and lessons learned to share God's goodness.
CC shares her journey of rediscovering her love for writing and pursuing God's calling on her life. She overcame discouragement and listened to God's voice, leading her back to writing. A trip to Israel further confirmed her calling as a storyteller.
With the help of a best-selling Christian author, she started writing and ghostwriting, eventually finishing her first book. CC also discovered the true story of Santa Claus and wrote a children's book to share the real meaning of Christmas. She encourages parents to have conversations with their children about Santa Claus and to focus on God's purpose and plan for their lives.
Can't wait to dig in,
Sam
