The Seeds of Transformation Podcast with Dr. Allma Johnson
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. ABOUT DR. ALLMA JOHNSON: Dr. Allma Johnson is a dedicated professional who expertly balances her roles as...

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 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?

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,

Today’s message, episode 94, is one we don’t talk about enough, because it's not dramatic, it’s not loud, it’s not obvious, and it’s not always visible.
Today we’re talking about emotional neglect, the abuse that doesn’t yell, doesn’t hit, doesn’t threaten, but damages the soul more deeply than we realize.
We're talking about the pain of being:
surrounded by people but still unseen

Today’s episode is one the Holy Spirit has been pressing on our land for quite sometime. We’re in a time where confusion is loud, truth is blurry, and emotional manipulation is everywhere, from relationships to workplaces, from culture to social media, even inside some churches.
But the Word of God cuts through all of that.
“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.”

David asked his own soul, “Why are you cast down?”
Jesus Himself said, “My soul is sorrowful unto death.”
You can love God and still battle in your mind.
