105. Encountering The Holy Spirit: A Look Into Spiritual Gifts with Jenny Randle   Hey friends, In this conversation, Jenny Randle and I discuss our experiences with the Holy Spirit and how He interacts with believers. We explore topics such as encountering the Holy Spirit, the role of the Holy Spirit in sanctification, and the gifts of the Spirit. We also emphasize the importance of understanding the Holy Spirit's role in our lives and how He empowers us to live out our faith. .   Jenny Randle went from a career in the heart of Hollywood to a faith-based author, national speaker, and chart-topping podcaster. Her search for meaning in the everyday moments of life has led her to write her newest book Flash Theology, where readers go deeper into biblical truth without drowning.   Here are some takeaways from this episode: Encountering the Holy Spirit is a pivotal moment in a believer's life and leads to a journey of understanding and embracing His power and presence. The Holy Spirit partners with believers in the process of sanctification, convicting and guiding them to live more like Christ. Spiritual gifts are meant to be used together for the common good of the church. The gifts of the Holy Spirit should always align with scripture and reflect God's character. It is important to discern and develop our own spiritual gifts and seek guidance from our church community. There may be misconceptions and baggage surrounding the topic of the Holy Spirit, but it is important to pursue a deeper relationship with God through the gifts of the Spirit.

We talk about what it means to come to the Father for prayer, the theme of identity and the barriers that prevent women from fully coming to God. It emphasizes the importance of confidently approaching God and highlights three characteristics of God that give us the assurance to do so: He is all-knowing, all-powerful, and He is love. I hope this conversation encourages you to come to God with boldness and surrender your hearts (and all the things going on inside of your heart) to Him. Takeaways: Our identity is found in God and the relationship we have with Him. There may be barriers that prevent us from fully coming to God, but He encourages us to confidently approach Him. God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and love, which gives us the assurance to come to Him. Coming to God with boldness and surrendering our hearts to Him allows Him to do a good work in us.

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 The Abundant Woman Resources: Join Our Community To Dig Deeper: https://www.facebook.com/groups/abundantwomanco Learn more: www.theabundantwoman.co Instagram: www.instagram.com/abundantwomanco/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/abundantwomanco/ TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@abundantwomanco

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.

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.

Hey friends! Jesus loves you. We hear the verse, sing the song, see it in a football stadium and yet, sometimes still there's a disconnect.

Tune in to the episode as I share a season of my life where I wrestled with Jesus loving me without me having to earn it, we talk about 3 common reasons we sometimes don't truly believe this, and then we talk about our girl- the woman at the well. Jesus radically shows up and pursues this woman! In this story, we talk about four things we get to recognize in this story and how it can even apply to us here today. The episode concludes with the Samaritan woman's transformation – running back to her community, leaving her water jar behind, and boldly sharing her testimony.  Sister friend, you are indeed loved.

Hey friends!   Do you deal with fear? Have you dealt with fear, worry or anxiety?   In the month of all things scary, this topic is one that is worth talking about again and again. But we are not just talking about halloween or the boo scared- we are also talking about actual fear. Panic. Late at night worrying, can’t sleep, anxiety, the never to do list, the afraid to do the thing because of the unknown, the medical diagnosis, the list goes on.   Fear manifests itself in so many different ways but today we are talking about ways to combat and overcome fear.  We are going to chat about 4 questions to ask ourselves when fear or worry or anxiety knocks on the front door and discuss four ways to beat fear every single time.   When you walk around with a spirit of fear you take space away from the victorious joy-filled life God intends for you. A spirit of fear robs you of life; fear is a distraction and an all-consuming force. But with Christ, overcoming the spirit of fear is possible! Join Sam for a 20 minute training and leave prepared for battle.   Check out more from The Abundant Woman Collective Here: Website: https://www.theabundantwoman.co/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AbundantWomanCo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantwomanco Free Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/abundantwomanco/

Hey friends, In this episode of the Abundant Woman Collective Podcast, Vivian Cummins shares her personal journey of battling perfectionism and striving for control. Vivian, a federal employee with over 24 years of civilian service, talks about how her need for perfection and control led to an unbalanced life filled with stress, burnout, depression, and anxiety. In 2020, she rededicated her life to the Lord and vowed to relinquish control and submit to God's will. However, in 2021, her life took a challenging turn when she was diagnosed with stage three melanoma. Despite the fear and difficulty of this season, Vivian claims it set her free from captivity and taught her to embrace imperfection, recognize unbalance, and trust God. Today, Vivian not only shares her testimony with other busy women but also provides valuable lessons and helpful tips for actively seeking balance. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing when you're feeling unbalanced, being intentional about self-care, and relying on the power of Scripture and prayer to combat perfectionism. Vivian's story serves as a powerful reminder that you're not alone in your struggles, and God is always there to provide guidance and healing. Embracing vulnerability and seeking His help can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Hey friend! In today's fast-paced world, where the demands of work, family, and countless responsibilities can feel overwhelming, we often find ourselves longing for a moment of respite—a space where we can truly connect with our Creator and nurture our souls. Today, we will uncover the significance of Sabbath through Scripture, discovering the beauty of how God Himself rested on the seventh day, setting a pattern for us to follow. We'll navigate the intricacies of weaving Sabbath into our demanding lives, finding balance and serenity amidst the chaos.  And of course, yours truly, will be writing you a big fat permission slip to ditch the religious ties of sabbath and replace it with one that deepens your relationship with Jesus. I can't wait for you to listen to this episode where I encourage you to take a step back from the whirlwind of life and consider the gift of Sabbath. By intentionally carving out this time, you create a sanctuary for your soul to breathe, connect, and be renewed in the presence of your Creator.  Until next time, Sam   Ps.

Hey Friends! Here in the U.S., we just celebrated the Fourth of July, America's birthday this week. As we were celebrating, it reminded me about the freedom that we have in Christ!  But are we actually walking in the freedom that has been given to us by Jesus? On today's podcast, we tackle this topic with four questions that we can ask ourselves to start the process of figuring it out. I've been praying for this episode for weeks and am expecting Holy Spirit to use these questions to create breakthroughs in women's lives. Wouldn't it be cool to see more women walking in freedom from their past, from negative thoughts, and from distraction from the enemy and towards their calling?! I think yes!

Like most of us, I have had lots of seasons of friendships in my life. Some great, some good, and honestly, some not so good.

We start by examining two different examples of friendship from the Bible: Job's friends and the friends in the story of Jesus healing a paralyzed man.

Hey friends! Have you ever found your significance in a title, a job, a role, in something other than Jesus? What are some steps that we can take to align our identity with our true worth and significance? What is my purpose? In this podcast episode, I chat with Jen Jones about her journey toward creating a significant life. Jen shares that she used to fear being insignificant and struggled with self-doubt and a desire to prove her worth through external achievements. However, she realized that this mindset led her to idolize busyness and strive for success. Through Jen's story, we are encouraged to reflect on our own worth and identity. We are reminded that true significance comes from our relationship with God and our inherent value as His chosen and loved women. By embracing these truths, we can step into a life of purpose and fulfillment, free from the pressure of external achievements and societal expectations. I am so excited for you to listen to this episode! It is so good. I am also excited that her new book, "Divinely Different" is available to purchase now!!! Click here to grab your copy today.

Hey friend! In today's podcast, I share a personal story about how surrendering to God has been the best thing. I also share how I recently stumbled upon a website that led me down a path of sin. We talk about what sin is, how it separates us, how we can be redeemed, and how to punch the enemy in the face during this process. We go through practical scripture to help us turn away from sin and how the community can help us. This episode gets personal but practical and I am so excited for you to hear it. Praying this message is like a helping hand reaching to pull friends towards Jesus and away from sin, praying it helps to break chains, and praying the Holy Spirit would speak to you today.

Hey friends!   In this episode, we discuss what Christian mentorship is, what a mentor does and does not do, and biblical examples of mentorship. Biblical examples of mentorship include Moses and Joshua, Elijah and Elisha, and Paul and Timothy. These relationships were marked by trust, vulnerability, and a commitment to spiritual growth. Through their mentorship, the mentees were able to learn from the experiences and insights of their mentors, and they were equipped to lead and serve in their own right.   I also share my vulnerable story of mentorship in her life, my experiences mentoring others, and what the next steps are for all of us. If this is something you are interested in, please send me a message or go to https://www.theabundantwoman.co/coaching to find out more information!   Until next time, Sam   PS.

Hey Friend!  Happy Holy Week. Happy Resurrection to come!! I love Easter so much. I love studying the scriptures of what takes place now and for the next 40-something days. So much hope, so much promise. This year, I did it a little differently and deep dove into some of the prophecies that Jesus fulfilled. It was eye-opening and SO good so we are sharing it here. Join me as I break down a few of the prophecies that Jesus fulfilled during His short time here on earth. Why? Because it is so important, it confirms the integrity of scripture, and it affirms that Jesus is a man of His Word. Maybe it is just me, but I need that confirmation today.

Hey friends!   Are you wanting to spend more time with God? Wanting to create a habit of reading your bible daily? Does reading your bible daily stress you out??   One of our core values at The Abundant Woman Collective is Knowing The Word. Getting in the Word daily, reading it, allowing it to change us, all of it. We believe, "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17.   Listen in today as I chat with Sasha Star Robertson about 3 tips for giving God our first fruits and reading our bible daily. She shares some of her stories, encouragement, and practical steps to get into The Word daily.   Check out Sasha's site and all she offers: https://intentionalabundance.life/   Praying this blesses you, Sam PS. Grab an Abundant Woman Session with me where we're going to help you grow spiritually, find your gaps where you're not connecting with God, and figure out how you can really have an encounter with Him. If life feels really hard right now, maybe you're missing having Jesus really a part of every minute, but you don't know how.   Sit with me for an hour and we'll come up with a plan where you will learn to connect with him and grow with him.

Hey friend! Happy New Year!!! I am SO excited and expectant of what God is going to do throughout this year. I thought we should kick off the new year by equipping ourselves with a battle plan!   Have you felt like you keep getting attacked, one after another?    Does something keep happening? Or maybe you are going through a season that feels tough but you don’t know how to get through it. Or that maybe you are afraid to move forward and do the next step?    Maybe you’re dealing with spiritual warfare.   Eph 6:12 tells us “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”   It’s time to defeat the enemy and be FREE by fighting WITH GOD in battle. Stef and I are going to walk through some practical steps to get you through that season and fight against the attacks of the enemy.  If you are interested in launching your own podcast and joining Podcast Pro University (like I did to launch this podcast!!), click here!

Friends! I am so excited for you to hear this message today. This is one of my favorite messages within the story of Christmas. It may start as an "Oh my gosh, that is a lot of names I can't say or don't know" and end with an "Oh my gosh, I am so loved by a good God". Join me as we pick out a few characters from Matthew's account of Jesus' Genealogy. People who had spotty pasts and crazy stories yet were apart of the bloodline of Jesus.  Mostly, I want you to hear and know that No one gets into God’s family by being born into it. We get to be REBORN into it.  And that you and I have hope, home, and family here in Jesus' lineage.   Until next time, Sam   Learn more: www.theabundantwoman.co Connect: [email protected] Instagram: www.instagram.com/abundantwomanco/ Facebook Group/Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/abundantwomanco Shop For Christian Merch: https://theabundantwomancollective.myshopify.com/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/abundantwomanco/ TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@abundantwomanco

Have you been a part of the hustle-harder culture? The world's way of working on your own strength to get your own results? Have you experienced burnout? Girl, same. I have hustled super hard, grown the business, and done all of the things to be successful. And the results eventually came but at the cost of my health, my relationships, and doing it on my own strength. Join me today as I chat with my friend Candace who is making it her mission to get us, ladies, out of and to heal our hustle culture mentality. Candace Jenkins is the owner of Jenkins Family Insurance, serving TN, GA, and AL in home, auto, life, and business protection. Candace grew up with little knowledge of how to run a business, manage finances, and plan for the future, but she did know how to work hard. She fell into insurance in her early 20s and has been practicing insurance for nearly 12 years.  Through the last 3 years, the Lord has taken Candace on a junking journey and shown her how to trust in Him to lead the business He has placed in her care.  Candace is a mother of twin boys, and a wife to Dustin, who helps her run the business and homeschools their children. She believes that “hustle” is a means to an end, and true success comes from following the Holy Spirit’s promptings.  Listen in as we talk about our experiences with hustle culture, learn from Candace as she shares her #1 tip,  and look to scripture and Bible verses for answers and guidance. Until next time, Sam              PS.

Hey friend,   Have you ever felt that maybe you were too much? Too outspoken? Couldn't share your faith? Have you ever been afraid of being canceled???   On today’s episode, we are chatting about a season where I felt that way. A season that helped to birth this incredible podcast. Together, we walk through three steps and scriptures that I used to get out of this season.    I love this episode because that wasn’t my best season and yet here we are and God is still using it for His good and His glory.   I pray this episode encourages, empowers, and equips you.   Until next time, Sam   Learn more: www.theabundantwoman.co  Connect: [email protected] Instagram: www.instagram.com/abundantwomanco/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/abundantwomanco/ TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@abundantwomanco

Welcome to the Abundant Woman Collective Podcast, where we are all about cultivating a faith that soaks into every single corner of our lives. I’m your host, Samantha Semans, founder of the Abundant Woman Collective - a community whose passion and mission is to help you truly feel free in Christ - wholly and completely. If you’re ready to go all-in with a Jesus-led life to step out of the overwhelm, anxiety, and stress of this world and step into a life of freedom and abundance, this is the podcast for you.  We believe God designed something beautiful for you - a life of purpose, freedom, and joy - and He is on a mission to bring you back to His original design for your life. We mean it when we say - burnout is not your birthright, freedom is.  Here on the podcast, we have conversations that matter to you as you navigate the wildly fulfilling journey of falling in love (or back in love) with Jesus. Together, we will equip a generation of women to share their stories of faith, stand in their God-given authority, and cut through the cultural noise. So, welcome to the podcast helping women like you find community, discover and step into their God-given authority, and reclaim the power, freedom, and truth God has abundantly given to them.  Because we know that when you surround yourself with truth, it changes every single thing in your life.  Until next time, Sam   Learn more: www.theabundantwoman.co  Connect: [email protected] Instagram: www.instagram.com/abundantwomanco/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/abundantwomanco/ TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@abundantwomanco
