"God does not look at death the same way we humans do, but it’s obvious that God longs for conversation with us, he longs to hear what we have to say. " In this week's episode of Abundantly Able, we focus on God's stance on taking medicine as well as the importance of talking to God and how talking to God can actually change his mind! It's important to talk to God about sickness and health, during a presidential election, before and during a marriage, child-rearing, and a job change. It's also important to talk to God about the small things in life because God cares about you, all of you!

"I love Revelations, it’s trippy but I think that’s part of why I love it so much." In this week's episode, we discuss the end of days and I open up about God speaking to me and my husband through a miraculous warning in the sky!

"I spent a good chunk of my life feeling sorry for myself until I grew closer and closer to Jesus and dug deeper and deeper in the Bible". In this week's episode, I opened up about how destructive the victim mentality can be and how a calling from Christ can completely change your life!

"Living less than an hour from New Orleans, during Mardi Gras the krews and floats represent different Greek gods and goddesses with many Bacchanalia or Dionysus parties… but even though I found Greek mythology fascinating (as a child) I often thought to myself “Why would anyone wanna worship god’s and goddesses who are so flawed." Learning about Greek mythology is a lot like a soap opera! There is cheating, murder, lies & deception. I mean if I wanted to idolize that kind of drama I would just Idolize my own family." Listen to this week's episode if you want to know what we Christians should know about our God!

" You look over at Joe and he’s on his 3rd donut and 5th cup of coffee but somehow he stays in good shape while banging out those sales calls and just won a trip to the Bahamas... I know it’s so easy to look over at the person who is super successful and has a lot of money and the big house with the nice cars… or maybe the person that is in picture-perfect health while your fighting a cancer diagnosis or an autoimmune disease or something else that’s crippling and wreaking havoc on your body..." Sound familiar? If you can resonate with any of this, tune into this week's episode of Abundantly Able to find out how to rise above these feelings (and Joe) hee hee.

" I no longer ask God why I endured abuse, degradation, manipulation, and control most of my life, I no longer ask God why the abuse eventually caused me never to have children, I no longer ask God why I was born with learning disabilities, a developmental disability, an autoimmune disease, and a rare heart condition. I now rejoice in the opportunity to share my testimony with you because you are beloved and Jesus died for you and me and all of us. If I had just given Jesus the wheel a long time ago I wouldn’t have hurt myself as much as I did, I wouldn’t have made as many self-destructive decisions as I did and I could have encouraged you and others like you sooner in life. But we love to hang on to our hurts and habits, don’t we?" I am sure that there are many listeners out there who can relate to this hard life lesson! Please tune into this week's episode of Abundantly Able if you need to heal from self-destructive behaviors or the deep wounds of battling disability or abuse on any level.

"Stop me if I’m wrong, but I feel like EVERYONE is suffering through something right now! This world is broken, we are broken..." In this week's episode, we start a brand new Bible study from the Joni and Friends Beyond Suffering Bible. This new 7-day Bible study is called "Growing Spiritually Through Suffering". I feel like a lot of broken people can connect with this Bible study, including myself!

"When I get home [from work] the very first thing I do is peel my scrubs off and I try not to touch anything when walking from the door to the washing machine " In this week's episode of Abundantly Able, we are wrapping up the Bible study "Disability and the Image of God" in the Joni and Friends Beyond Suffering Bible. We are focusing on discarding our dirty old ways and becoming clean and new in Christ.
