    Episode #31 Girl, You Need Your People! Why Christian Women Need Sisterhood

    Why Women Need Sisterhood: The Power of Christian Friendship & Community We were never meant to do life alone. ❤️ In this episode of the Abundantly Favored Podcast, we’re talking about one of our favorite things—and one of the three pillars of Abundantly Favored: Sisterhood! The right women in your life can encourage you when you’re struggling, remind you who you are when you forget, celebrate your wins, pray with you through the hard stuff, and make the ordinary moments of life so much more fun. But here’s the thing: sisterhood isn’t just about finding women who will show up for you. It’s also about becoming a woman who shows up for others. We’re talking about Christian friendship, meaningful relationships, community, encouragement, and why having the right people around you matters so much—especially as life changes and we enter new seasons. And, of course, there’s plenty of sisterly banter along the way! ☕️😂 So grab your coffee and join us for a conversation that will make you think about the women in your life—and maybe inspire you to reach out to one of them today. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 If this episode encouraged you, we’d love for you to share it with a sister or friend who needs a little reminder that she doesn’t have to do life alone. 💙 Join the Abundantly Favored Inner Circle:Come be part of our community of women who are choosing faith, mindset, and sisterhood as they step into all God has for them. 📖 WAIT, Did I Say That?https://a.co/d/3N2XWNQ 📓 WAIT, Did I Pray That? 30-Day Devotional:https://a.co/d/eZZdFDE Remember...

    Episode 30: What If God Already Told You? How to Know God’s Will and Take the Next Step

    What If God Already Told You? How to Know God’s Will and Take the Next Step Have you ever asked God, “What’s next?”—only to feel like you’re still waiting for an answer? What if God isn’t withholding the next instruction? What if He’s lovingly waiting for us to respond to the one He’s already given? In this episode of the Abundantly Favored, Jenny and Shelley talk honestly about how to know God’s will, recognize His direction, and take the next step in faith—even when we wish God would just hand us the entire map. Because sometimes we’re praying for clarity about what’s next when God is asking us to be faithful with what He has already placed in front of us. We’ll talk about: How to recognize what God may already be asking you to do Why God often reveals the next step one step at a time The difference between waiting on God and avoiding obedience How Scripture, prayer, and wise counsel can help us discern God’s direction Why every thought, opportunity, or feeling isn’t necessarily a message from God What to do when you’re tempted to keep asking for another confirmation because you don’t like the answer you already received And how to move forward when you don’t know the whole plan Our encouragement for you is simple: You may not need the whole map. You may just need the next faithful step. If you’ve been asking, “God, what do You want me to do next?” this conversation might be exactly what you need to hear. Main Scripture: Deuteronomy 5:33 If this episode encouraged you, share it with a sister who might be asking God the same question. And come join us inside the Abundantly Favored Inner Circle for more faith, mindset, encouragement, and sisterhood. 📖 WAIT, Did I Say That?

    Episode 29: Change What You Expect, Change What You See: Faith & Mindset in Midlife

    Episode 29: Change Your Expectations, Change What You See What are you expecting? Because what we expect affects what we look for—and what we look for affects what we notice. In this episode of the Abundantly Favored Podcast, we’re taking a deeper look at expectations and the powerful role they play in our faith, mindset, words, and everyday lives. We’re talking about where our expectations come from, how they influence the way we show up, and whether what we’re expecting actually lines up with what we’ve been praying for. Psalm 5:3 reminds us that we can bring our requests to God and then watch and wait with expectation. But there’s an important distinction: we can expect God’s goodness without demanding a specific outcome. What if expecting something good doesn’t mean assuming we know exactly what God will do? What if it means trusting the One who holds our future? Whether you’re in the middle of a major life transition, waiting on an answer to prayer, stepping into something new, or simply trying to cultivate a healthier Christian mindset, this conversation will challenge you to take a closer look at what you’re expecting—and what those expectations might be causing you to see. ✨ In this episode, we talk about: How your expectations shape what you notice The connection between mindset, faith, and expectations Where our expectations come from How expectations affect the way we speak and show up Expecting God’s goodness without trying to control the outcome Trusting God with your future Learning to look for what God may be doing in your life So, friend… what are you expecting? Because it just might change what you see. Scripture: Psalm 5:3 If this episode encouraged you, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend!

Are you preparing for it? And if God answered a prayer, opened a door, or brought something unexpected into your life, would you recognize it?In this episode of the Abundantly Favored Podcast, Jenny and Shelley dive into the powerful message of Amos 9:13—a picture of such an abundant harvest that the person gathering the harvest is still working when it’s already time to start planting again.What a picture of abundance!This conversation is an invitation to shift your perspective from “I wonder if anything is ever going to change?” to “What if it’s closer than I think?”Jenny and Shelley talk about becoming more aware of what you’re expecting, looking for the good, celebrating what God has already done, and allowing those reminders to build your faith for what’s coming next.Because sometimes we spend so much time preparing for disappointment that we forget to prepare for blessing.So what if something good happens sooner than you think?Get ready for the good.Start looking for it.Expect God to move.And believe that your next abundant season may be closer than you think. 💙“The plowman will overtake the reaper…” — Amos 9:13If this episode encouraged you, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend!

    Episode 27: Don’t Quit Before the Harvest | Christian Encouragement for Trusting God’s Timing

    Don’t Quit Before the Harvest Have you ever wondered, “Why am I doing all of this if I’m not seeing any results?” You’re showing up. You’re praying. You’re growing. You’re putting in the effort…yet sometimes it feels like nothing is happening. What if growth is happening beneath the surface? What if the harvest is already forming—even though you can’t see it yet? In this episode of the Abundantly Favored Podcast, Jenny and Shelley talk about something every woman experiences: those seasons when you’re doing your best, but you’re tired of waiting for the results. Inspired by Galatians 6:9, they talk about perseverance, discouragement, trusting God’s timing, and why we can’t always measure what God is doing by what we can see. Sometimes the prayers you’ve been praying are making a difference. Sometimes the seeds you’ve planted are taking root. And sometimes, God is working behind the scenes in ways you could never have imagined. If you’ve been feeling stuck, discouraged, or wondering whether your efforts are making a difference, this episode is for you. Don’t quit before the harvest. Keep showing up. Keep praying. Keep planting. Keep trusting. Because God may be doing far more than you realize. “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9 (NIV) If this episode encouraged you, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend!

    Episode 26: 10 Christian Mindset Shifts to Renew Your Mind & Strengthen Your Faith

    Christian Mindset: How to Trust God and Expect Good Things 26 episodes. Countless conversations. Lots of laughter. And SO many reminders of God’s faithfulness. ❤️ Can you believe it? Abundantly Favored is celebrating its half birthday! 🎉 What started as two sisters having conversations about faith, mindset, self-talk, and God’s truth has grown into a community of women choosing to live more intentionally and abundantly. So for this special milestone episode, we asked ourselves a simple question: If you forgot everything else we’ve talked about over the past 25 episodes, what are the 10 things we hope you NEVER forget? And WOW…this list is good. We’re looking back at the lessons, truths, and reminders that keep showing up again and again—because sometimes the messages we need most aren't new. We just need to hear them again. In this episode, we’re talking about: ✨ Why your words matter ✨ The power of your thoughts and mindset ✨ Why you don't have to believe every thought you think ✨ What it means to take your thoughts to God ✨ Letting go of the things that were never yours to carry ✨ Learning to recognize God’s faithfulness—even in the hard seasons ✨ And the reminder we want to leave you with most: You are more abundantly favored than you realize. 💕 Being abundantly favored doesn't mean life will always be easy. It doesn't mean every prayer will be answered the way we hoped or that we’ll never struggle. It means we are deeply loved and deeply known by God. Whether you've been listening since Episode 1 or you're brand new to the Abundantly Favored family, pull up a chair, celebrate with us, and let these 10 reminders speak to your heart. Because maybe you don't need another new thing to learn today. Maybe you just need to remember what you already know. ❤️ 🎧 Listen in—and then tell us: Which of these 10 reminders did YOU need to hear today?

    Episode 25: We Showed Up. God Showed Off. | How to Know When God Is Calling You

    We Showed Up. God Showed Off. Have you ever said yes to something without really knowing what was going to happen—and then watched God do something you never could have planned? That’s exactly what happened to us at the Christian Product Expo in St. Charles, Missouri. We went hoping to make a few connections, learn some things, and figure out where Abundantly Favored fit in this new world of Christian publishing and ministry. Instead, God showed off. ✨ In this episode, we’re taking you behind the scenes of an unforgettable weekend filled with unexpected connections, new friendships, powerful conversations, prayer, encouragement, and more than a few “God, are You SERIOUS right now?!” moments. We’ll share how one person’s simple encouragement led us to CPE, how God placed the right people in the room at exactly the right time, and how some of the women we met introduced us to a sisterhood we didn’t even know we needed. And there’s a bigger lesson in all of it: Sometimes God’s answer to your prayer isn’t an opportunity. Sometimes it’s a PERSON. If you’ve ever wondered whether you belong, whether you’re ready, or whether you should take that next step before you have the whole plan figured out, this episode is for you. You don’t have to know exactly what’s on the other side of the door. Sometimes you just have to be willing to walk through it. Because when we show up in faith, we leave room for God to do immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine. 📖 Ephesians 3:20 Come hear the story behind the story—and be reminded that the people God puts in your path may be part of the answer you’ve been praying for all along. 💕 ✨ If this episode encouraged you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend!

    Episode 24: What’s In Your Cart? | How to Stop Worrying & Give Your Burdens to God

    🛒 WHAT’S IN YOUR CART? No, we’re not just talking about Target. 😂 Sometimes we walk into life carrying things we never intended to pick up—worry, guilt, other people’s opinions, comparison, old regrets, and responsibilities God never asked us to carry. And before we know it, our cart is FULL… and we’re exhausted. But what if it’s time to start asking: Does this belong in my cart? Did God put it there? And if He didn’t… why am I still carrying it? In this week’s episode of the Abundantly Favored Podcast, we’re talking about the things we’re carrying and how Jesus invites us to exchange those burdens for His peace. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 🎧 Grab your coffee, take a walk, and listen in. You might just discover there are a few things in your cart that need to go back on the shelf. ❤️ What’s one thing you need to take OUT of your cart? #AbundantlyFavored #WhatsInYourCart #FaithAndMindset #ChristianWomen #MidlifeWomen #LetItGo #JesusGivesRest #AbundantlyFavoredPodcast If this episode encouraged you, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend who needs permission to stop carrying what was never hers to carry.
