" Tune into today's episode to find out more about hardened hearts and how to break the chains. this week, we are diving into a brand new Bible study.

I think we all can relate to struggling with unforgiveness at some point in our lives!

In This week's episode of Abundantly Able, we talk about how to treat those who hurt us. We just recently had the Bourbon St. terrorist attack here in Louisiana, and on the news, we have been seeing Hamas releasing coffins with murdered Jewish babies inside. I feel like with all the wars going on and all the political divisions going on right now; this is a perfect Bible study for us all! /episode/index/show/abundantlyable/id/35400640

115: Day 5, Healing: A Proper View "Y’all, I don’t know about you, but I am so over this earthy body! I am 41, and as soon as I turned 40 (literally, the day after I turned 40), my hip started killing me, then the pain spread down my leg, and I was lame for over a month! Here I was, an OTA at a rehab hospital, trying to teach people with disabilities how to dress themselves, and I couldn’t even put on my own socks!" Do you ever get sick of your earthly body? If so, this week's episode of Abundantly Able is for you! /episode/index/show/abundantlyable/id/35250135

114: Day 4 Haealing; A Proper View 01/22/2025

114: Day 4 Haealing; A Proper View "I love how, time and time again, Jesus meets us where we are at…not where we should be. Just like when I struggled with gender dysphoria in the 80’s and 90’s as a kid and I lamented to the Lord for years. My parents never affirmed me because that wasn’t even a thing back then. Instead, my mother gave me a call to action..." /episode/index/show/abundantlyable/id/34769115

113: Day 3 Healing; A Proper View 01/08/2025

112: Day2 Healing; A Proper View 10/30/2024

112: Day2 Healing; A Proper View "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! /episode/index/show/abundantlyable/id/33677562

111: Day 1 Healing; a Proper View 10/10/2024

111: Day 1 Healing; a Proper View "I know this can be a very touchy subject for some people, and this topic has even caused a separation in some denominations...." Follow along with me in this week's episode of Abundantly Able to read about what the Bible says about God's greatness, especially when it comes to healing the hurting, which couldn't have come at a more devastating time! With Hurricane Helene ravaging through Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina & Georgia. Now, two weeks later, Hurricane Milton has hit Florida with several deadly pop-up tornadoes as his opening act! People need hope, faith, and healing like never before. I pray this new Bible study will help others find hope, faith, and healing like never before. /episode/index/show/abundantlyable/id/33408812

108: Day 5 Growing through Suffering 08/10/2024

108: Day 5 Growing through Suffering "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! /episode/index/show/abundantlyable/id/32526792

107: Day 4 Growing Through Suffering 07/22/2024

107: Day 4 Growing Through Suffering " 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. /episode/index/show/abundantlyable/id/32118062

106: Day 3 Growing Through Suffering 07/12/2024

106: Day 3 Growing Through Suffering " 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. /episode/index/show/abundantlyable/id/32118037

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".

100: Lets Celebrate "I am so excited to be celebrating Abundantly Ables’ 100th episode with all y’all’s!!

99: Day2 Disability and the Image of God "No matter how much the devil tries to tear you down and he may even use other people as tools to bully you and degrade you REMEMBER you are the apex of God’s creation and he gave you some serious responsibility while on this earth.

98: Day 1 Disability and the Image of God 01/12/2024

98: Day 1 Disability and the Image of God "So I don’t know if this is just a coincidence, but I feel like God is really trying to guide the Abundantly Able community in a certain direction. And it’s just ironic that the very first verse of a Bible study called Disability and the Image of God talks about our responsibility over the animals and it’s also the beginning of the new year which always stops and makes people think." Join us in today's episode. Today is the first day of a brand new Bible study from the Joni and Friends "Beyond Suffering Bible". I also share about God's direction for the future of Abundantly Able! /episode/index/show/abundantlyable/id/29453338
