Courageous Confidence: 3 attributes of God so we can Step into Throne Room with Boldness
Hey friends,
Today's episode is quick, punchy, and one straight from the heart. 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.

“Whole Heart” Jervis Campbell
“Belovedness” Sarah Kroger

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! 
Until next time,Sam
