The Seeds of Transformation Podcast with Dr. Allma Johnson
For Holy Week and a bit beyond, I brainstormed a few ways to discuss pre and post Resurrection. We've discussed expectations shaken. Truth revealed. Faith tested. Truth received and today life lived. But at some point, this has to move beyond something we hear, and become something we live. Over the past several weeks we've talked about "When God Doesn’t Do What You Expected" on episode 112, "When Faith Looks Real…But Isn’t" on episode 113, "What the Resurrection Actually Reveals" on episode 114, "Why Some People Don’t Change After the Resurrection" on episode 115, and today for...

This week we're discussing "Why Some People Don't Change After the Ressurection" on The Seeds of Transformation Podcast with Dr. Allma Johnson. This question will answer why its possible to hear the truth…and still remain unchanged? In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about the difference between hearing, knowing, and truly being transformed. Scripture shows us that not everyone responds the same way, and understanding that can bring both clarity and direction. Let us begin.

Hey there and welcome! The resurrection isn’t just something we remember, it’s what reveals what is true. In episode 114, we’re walking through what the resurrection really means and why it matters in a deeper way than we often think. This isn’t just about a moment in history, it’s about what was proven, what was fulfilled, and what becomes possible because of it. It's the topic today on The Seeds of Transformation Podcast with Dr. Allma Johnson. Let us begin. SPEAKING, RESOURCES & COLLABORATION: Connect and learn more about Dr. Allma Johnson — Podcast...

Welcome to episode 113 of The Seeds of Transformation Podcast. I’m your host Dr. Allma Johnson. As we know, not everything that looks real…is real. In this episode, we’re taking a closer look at faith, what it looks like on the surface versus what’s actually rooted in truth. Sometimes the hardest things to recognize aren’t obviously wrong, but subtly off. This conversation will help you slow down, look deeper, and begin to understand what real, lasting faith actually produces. Let us begin.

Welcome to The Seeds of Transformation Podcast with Dr. Allma Johnson. Question? What do you do when God doesn’t move the way you thought he would? In this episode, we’re talking about those moments when things don’t unfold the way you expected, and how that can leave you questioning, processing, and trying to understand what God is actually doing. If you’ve ever felt that tension, this conversation will meet you right there and begin to bring clarity. Let us begin.

Welcome to episode 111 of The Seeds of Transformation Podcast. I’m Dr. Allma Johnson, your host. Today we’re talking about something quiet — but deeply revealing: who we are when no one is watching? Much of our world rewards visibility. But Scripture consistently directs our attention to faithfulness in the unseen. The kind of obedience that isn’t performed. The integrity that doesn’t require applause. This episode is about motive, about hidden faithfulness, and about serving Christ even when there is no audience. Without further adu, let us begin. SPEAKING, RESOURCES &...

Welcome to episode 110 of The Seeds of Transformation Podcast. I’m your host Dr. Allma Johnson. Today we’re stepping into a quiet but critical tension in the life of every believer: What happens when what I feel does not match what God has said? Feelings are powerful. They are real. They influence our decisions, our reactions, even our theology. But Scripture teaches us that while emotions are part of being human, they are not meant to be our authority. This episode is about learning how to honor emotion without being ruled by it — and how to let truth anchor us when feelings shift. Let...

Hey there and welcome to The Seeds of Transformation Podcast. I’m your host, Dr. Allma Johnson. Today, for episode 109, we’re addressing something that rarely feels dramatic — but yet deeply shapes Christian witness: conversation. Not public controversy. Not open conflict. But the quiet exchange of words when someone is not present. Scripture is not silent about speech. It teaches us that maturity in Christ is revealed in how we talk — especially when it would be easy to participate, speculate, or share. This episode is about learning to step back, to guard our mouths, and to choose...

Today on The Seeds of Transformation Podcast with Dr. Allma Jonson, we are approaching a passage that is often quoted — but not always carefully understood, 2 Corinthians 10. In this text, Paul speaks about warfare, strongholds, and taking thoughts captive. But he is not describing dramatic spiritual theatrics. He is addressing something far more precise: the battle over truth. Before we apply this to our personal thought life, we must understand what Paul meant in context — and then allow Scripture to examine us honestly. For further understaning, read from GotQuestions.org. This...

Welcome to The Seeds of Transformation Podcast. I’m your host, Dr. Allma. Today's podcast is not about surface change. It is not about trends, reactions, or emotional highs. It is about deep, lasting transformation — the kind that begins beneath what people see. Before breakthrough, before restoration, before spiritual warfare, something more foundational must be addressed: the condition of the heart. Jesus teaches a parable; a simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson, as told by Jesus in the Gospels in Luke 8:1-15 NIV that the Word of God is like a seed. The difference...
info_outlineHey 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.
