The Seeds of Transformation Podcast with Dr. Allma Johnson

Hey there and welcome to episode #105 of The Seeds of Transformation Podcast with Dr. Allma Johnson. I want to start today with something simple, but honest.

Have you ever had someone give you a compliment, and instead of receiving it, you immediately thought of everything you could've done better?

Yeah. Me too.

And somewhere along the way, I started wondering, Do we do the same thing with God?

Not correcting Him. Not questioning His character.

But quietly struggling to receive what He says is already true.

Scripture tells us plainly:

"God is love." Not a slogan. Not a feeling. Not a personality trait. God is love.

So if that's true — and it is — why is accepting God's love sometimes harder than believing it?

Why do we hesitate? Why do we qualify it? Why do we feel like we need to do more, be more, fix more… before we can rest in it?

Today, we're going to walk this out carefully — not emotionally, not casually — but in biblical truth, sound doctrine, and absolute love.

We'll talk about:

• What God's love actually is

• What it is not

• Why grace doesn't cancel repentance

• And why receiving God's love doesn't leave us unchanged — it transforms us

So take a breath. Lay performance aside. And let's open the Word together.

Because this conversation isn't about lowering truth, it's about finally trusting the love that truth reveals.

Let's begin.

Welcome to The Seeds of Transformation Podcast with Dr. Allma Johnson Episode #104: Come to Me is for the weary.

Not the lazy. Not the disengaged. But the sincere believer who loves God, wants to be faithful, and yet feels exhausted in soul.

We live in a culture that calls this burnout, or "quiet quitting." But Scripture speaks more clearly. It exposes not just tired bodies, but heavy yokes, misplaced striving, and lives lived apart from rest in Christ.

Before we go any further, we need to be clear and faithful to God's Word. The Sabbath command, given as the seventh day, was part of the Old Covenant with Israel. It was real, it was holy, and it pointed forward to something greater.

In the New Testament, that "something greater" is not a day, it is a Person.

Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law. He is Lord of the Sabbath. And according to Scripture, true rest is now entered daily by faith through Him, not by calendar observance, but by trusting His finished work.

Today, we will open the Bible and let God speak for Himself. No trends. No psychology. No opinions.

Only Scripture. Only truth.

If you are tired, burdened, or quietly wondering how long you can keep going, this episode is an invitation.

Jesus still says, "Come to Me…and you will find rest for your souls."

Let's do this y'all.

Lately, AI has been everywhere.

In conversations, headlines, workspaces, even in how people think about their future. So today, I want to pause and ask: Are we in an AI bubble?

What does that even mean? How would we know? And if we are, what does that mean for us?

Let's talk.

Hey there and welcome to episode 102 of The Seeds of Transformation Podcast with Dr. Allma Johnson.

Y'all, there are songs you listen to… and then there are songs that listen to you.

"Take Me Home" by Titania Paige is one of those songs for me. From the very first listen, it didn't just move through my ears—it went straight to my spirit. It reminded me that no matter how far we wander, how tired we get, or how heavy life feels, home is still possible. Not the polished version of us. Not the figured-it-all-out version. Just us, honest, surrendered, and willing.

And what you're hearing in the background right now, that's all her. That's "Take Me Home." Let it sit with you for a moment.

There's a lyric that absolutely captured my heart: "Drive honesty and let Your healing work begin."

Because that's where healing actually starts, doesn't it? Not in pretending. Not in performing. But in honesty. In letting God search us, sit with us, and gently lead us back to the place where we belong. This song gave me a greater appreciation for the truth that coming home to God isn't about shame, it's about safety. It's about being welcomed, restored, and loved fully.

So get ready, y'all, because today we're joined by the woman behind the words and the worship. She is a Writer, Speaker, and Songwriter, and her voice carries both truth and tenderness.

I want to name something quietly sitting in the room.

We talk a lot about balance, especially when it comes to faith. Balance sounds wise. Safe. Reasonable. But sometimes what we call balance is really just distance we've learned to defend.

This episode isn't about answers you can rush through. It's about slowing down long enough to ask what faith is actually asking of us.

If you've been here for conversations like Cycles: Wounds That Repeat, Are You Becoming What Hurt You? (Episode 80) or Covenant and Contract – The Unbreakable Promise of God, then you already know (Episode 92)—this one builds on that same foundation.

Listen with an open heart. Not to fix anything. Just to notice what rises when faith isn't managed, but surrendered.

Welcome to The Seeds of Transformation Podcast with Dr. Allma Johnson!

Recently, I noticed something small that ended up revealing something much bigger. I returned to something I've had for years and discovered features that were always there, but I hadn't fully noticed or used them. And it made me wonder what might be true about our own lives.

In this episode, we're talking about Finding Our Features, the God-given abilities, instincts, and strengths already built into us, and what happens when we slow down enough to recognize and honor what God has already done.

Let's get into it.

We're just a few days away from a new year, and a lot of voices are already telling us what needs to change. New habits. New goals. New vision.

But Scripture doesn't put the weight on novelty, it puts the weight on faithfulness.

Today for episode #99, we're talking about obedience in the ordinary. What it means to remain rooted when nothing feels new, when God's work feels quiet, and when faithfulness itself becomes an act of courage.

This is Faithfulness in the Ordinary.

Hey there, and welcome to The Seeds of Transformation Podcast with Dr. Allma Johnson. I'm Dr. Allma, and I'm really glad you're here.

There's a lot about this season that's meant to feel joyful, warm, meaningful and full of light. And yet, for so many people, there's another layer beneath the surface. Quiet pressure. Unspoken stress. The kind that shows up when expectations collide with reality, especially when it comes to money.

Today's conversation is a gentle one. It's honest. It's not about shame or numbers or getting everything right. It's about peace. It's about telling the truth without pretending. And it's about remembering that our worth, our faith, and our joy are not measured by what we can spend or provide.

So wherever you're listening from, take a breath. You don't need to brace yourself for this episode, just be present. Let's step into a conversation about Christmas, money, and the quiet panic no one talks about, and find a little more peace together.

Today on episode 97, we're talking about a word many of us say often, but don't always know how to feel about.

Father.

For some, it's comforting. For others, it's complicated.

And for many, it carries more weight than we realize. Why does the Bible call God Father? Is that connected to our earthly fathers, or completely different? And why is it sometimes easier to trust God as Creator or Savior than to speak to Him as Father?

This isn't a theological lecture. It's a conversation. One rooted in Scripture, honesty, and the very real places where faith and life intersect.

If calling God "Father" has ever felt hard, confusing, or even painful, this episode is for you.

Time is moving fast, faster than any of us want to admit.

And if we're honest, we're speeding through the very moments we once prayed for. But Jesus never rushed. He slowed down. He noticed people. He lived present, because the moment itself was holy.

Maybe the reason life feels empty, even when it's full, is because we're gripping the gift but missing the Giver. So today, pause. Breathe. Be here.

The greatest gift isn't the blessing in your hands, it's Jesus Christ standing with you in this moment.

This what Episode 96 is about today, being present, and "Making Time for the Present."
