Naturalies. My name is Samantha-Jo, I am the host for this amazing podcast that I am hoping save souls. My reasoning for starting this podcast came about after I gave my life to Christ on July 11, 2021. I started finding myself constantly want to talk about my struggles (HOT: humble, open & transparent), the things that have given me strength, the things God has done for me & most importantly the things I know that God has for me. I know you're thinking "oh here we go with some religious podcast" but I'm asking that you look deeper than that. I am a Christian & yes I pray this podcast changes lives in ways beyond my belief but if its not enough to convince you to stay I will also mention the other things I am that God has allowed me to be. I am a single Mother of 4, YES FOUR amazing boys who at the end of this year will be 12, 6, 4 & 2. I am a business owner (if you have instagram JosCraftShack & Sheis.waisted). I am also a nurse, I have been for almost 4 years now. So again if religion isnt enough to convince you to stay then stick around for the other things I have to offer. Why Naturalies? I recently (1 year ago) left a very toxic relationship after 8 years & literally started completely over in the middle of the pandemic with all 4 children. I literally built my own kitchen table, tv stand, coffee table, my bed & childrens bed & started over knowing only what I thought I knew. Black women have been placed in boxes all of our lives. "Starting over is harder than you think so you should probably stay" "You cant do it without this person or that person", "You have to act this way, its not lady like to do it that way", "You cant jump out on faith because nobody in our family has done that", "You cant be better than what you come from", "your idea isnt good enough to take you there" ALL LIES, LIES, AND MORE LIES THAT PEOPLE HAVE PLACED ON BLACK WOMEN & LADIES YOU DO NOT HAVE TO AGREE TO MEET ANY STANDARD YOU, YOURSELF, DID NOT SET! This is my safe haven for black women, no matter what you look like, your body size, your bank account or profession, single mom, married mom, in a bad situation, left a bad situation LISTEN I do not care. Come, let your hair down, act the way you want to act even if it doesn't make sense to anyone else, cry a little, heal a lot & know that this is a sisterhood. Im so ready for this journey. I love you ladies.

    Don't Let The Enemy Steal Your Joy

    Don't Let The Enemy Steal Your Joy

    Originally this started off as a marriage podcast but Holy Spirit had other plans. We got this crazy on the spot revelation where God did what I call a two for one special where he uses two different situations for one purpose. The purpose of this on the spot revelation was God reminding us not to let the devil steal our joy. Often times we get so wrapped up in God doing things the way we want, when we want, and when it doesn't happen that way we begin complaining but failing to realize and show gratitude that although God didn't do it the way we wanted him to, he still did it. The enemy will steal your joy and it will ultimately result in you being ungrateful for what God didn't do when you should be thanking him for all he did do. Don't let the enemy steal your joy in this season!!

    Your Marriage is Your Assignment

    Your Marriage is Your Assignment

    I have learned so much through my short time of being married. I have realized how marriage is truly a continuous sacrifice but a sacrifice you don't mind making even when it is hard because it feeds not only you but your spirit.
    Culture has tainted marriage and just because everyone is married doesn't mean its a Godly marriage. Culture has convinced you that marriage is no longer the goal because good marriages no longer exist. That is false.
    Kingdom marriages focus on the marital principles established by God in his word, we are committed to this not because it is just something to do this is our assignment. Who you partner with MATTERS because certain people will keep you from your calling.
    Marriage is work & it's not easy but when you set your eyes on Jesus & you let him be the center of your marriage, all the work is worth it. How are you stewarding over your marriage in this season? Are you doing what you want or are you doing what God wants?

    Rejection & Disappointment

    Rejection & Disappointment

    Do you desire to live in authenticity knowing that even with struggles God desires to use you? 

    I think often times we assume that when ppl come to Christ they automatically change overnight & thats not the case. The only change made that quick is your heart. You have now allowed your yes to open your heart to change which will take place throughout the process in which will set you free at some point in time.

    I encourage you to come to Christ full of struggles and with hidden skeletons in your closet expecting God to blow your mind. YOU ARE ENOUGH!!!

    Millionaire; No Shortcuts

    Millionaire; No Shortcuts

    God why is it taking so long? I've been faithful, I've stewarded well, I've been obedient. I know you may be in a season where you are trusting God to change your financial situation, I am too. However I want you to know that there might be a little more pruning required before you get there. We say "God im ready" but remember God knows when we are truly ready because God will not withhold anything from you when the time comes for you to receive it. Commit to the process that will take you places God desires for you to go, commit even if the season lasts longer than you would like. Commit even if your financial situation doesn't change right now. Commit even when you've been faithful & obedient season after season. Do not omit to required steps that allow you to develop the character thats needed for where you are going. -Kingdom Millionaires

    Authenticity

    Authenticity

    Episode 2 is now available on YouTube & the audio version will be available tonight. Check out the audio on Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Amazon, Vurbl, & Reason.
    Authenticity is the key to having a real relationship with God. You have to be okay knowing who you are, where you currently are and the things you struggle with. God sees your heart and he knows you desire to become the person he has created you to be but he also knows it doesn’t happen overnight.
    People have made us feel we have to do things a specific way when it comes to God and thats not true. God is so unique, he will meet each and every single one of us where we are and love us through the entire transformation process.
    Do not let people and their opinions be the reason you never experience God. Go be yourself and live outloud knowing you are flawed, imperfect but valued and seen by God. Define who God is to you and what your relationship with him looks like, it’ll never look exactly like someone elses & thats the uniqueness of Christ.
    SIS BE BOLD & BE YOU!!

    RELAUNCH!

    RELAUNCH!

    After 3 Seasons of just audio I have finally made the decision to get a visual content. I am so excited to be back after almost a year. 2023 was such a wild year but it produced so much. My faith has reached a level its never been at before, my relationship with God has deepened in such a life changing way & my commitment to my assignment from God has been fueled like no other. 2024, I have been given the green light & I am all gas. If you are new here I want to encourage you to start from the beginning so that you can be familiar with who Naturalies (pronounced Natural Lies) is and what God has intended for it to become. & for my listeners who have been rocking with me since day 1 & been patient for my relaunch I just want to say thank you & I appreciate you more than words could ever explain. Thank you for seeing me as God see's me & thank you for trusting my process & tuning in season after season. 2024 WE UP!
