In this podcast you will find attainable tidbits of encouragement, faith, fellowship, and great resources designed to help fellow brothers and sisters who battle disorders, disabilities, and other diagnosis.
I am warning you now, this episode is a real tear-jerker! In this week's podcast, we are finishing up the Bible study, Intellectual Disabilities and Salvation in the Joni and Friends Beyond Suffering Bible. Tune on in to hear about an adorable little girl named Iris with brittle bone disease who longed for God's word.
"Embrace your imperfections because God is the creator, you are his masterpiece, he will create beauty from your breaks, you just need to let him." We may feel like a lot of things are broken right now: our mental health, our families, our nation, our entire world! But God does his best work with broken pieces.
"Y’all, I don’t know about you, but I would be running out of that jail the second that earthquake broke apart my shackles and broke those doors open! I mean, number one, there’s an earthquake, and number two, it’s a jail! " Tune into this week's episode of Abundantly Able to hear more about this (literal) earth-shattering Bible study and how important it is to believe simply & purely, even when the ground is literally (or figuratively) dropping out from under you!
"I don’t care what you have done, I don’t care how poor, stupid, or worthless you think you are! I don’t care if you are literally on your deathbed moments from your last breath, you make your last breath count, and give your heart and your life to Jesus." I think that pretty much sums it up! But please tune in to this week's episode and maybe learn something about salvation.
"I think that so many people who battle disorders, disabilities, and other diagnoses can relate to the heartache of losing close friends and the insecurities that come along with such rejection." Read along with me this week to find out more about the media brainwashing others and causing an over-3-decade friendship divide!
" The people who have melted my heart the most in my life are those with intellectual disabilities. They are diamonds in the rough. " This week's episode of Abundantly Able goes deeper into what scripture says about salvation and the purity of the heart versus the power of the mind.
"Being a healthcare worker, I will be the first to admit that I have grown very numb and very callous to pain and hurt and tears and cries for help. " 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. It was not planned this way (at least not by me), but this is perfect timing for today's new Bible study, with so many people worrying about DOGE and the IDEA Act.
"I have struggled with unforgiveness in my heart I verbalized that I had forgiven a specific person but the Lord knew my heart, he saw the blackness in my heart that I tried to cover up with words." 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 sin and how confession of our sins may help with our healing...or not. Let's listen and find out!
" I will admit that I do not have “share the good news” on my mind when someone insults or hurts me or my loved ones!" 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!
"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!
"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..."
"Some people can see something with their own two eyes and still deny facts. I feel like we are seeing a lot of that in these times." With the recent terrorist attack on Bourbon St. in New Orleans (just 40 minutes from my home) and all the wars and unrest in the world today, we need to believe in something, what will you believe?
"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!
"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.
"I love Revelations, it’s trippy but I think that’s part of why I love it so much." In this week's episode, we discuss the end of days and I open up about God speaking to me and my husband through a miraculous warning in the sky!
"I spent a good chunk of my life feeling sorry for myself until I grew closer and closer to Jesus and dug deeper and deeper in the Bible". In this week's episode, I opened up about how destructive the victim mentality can be and how a calling from Christ can completely change your life!
"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!
" 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.
" 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.
"I was having a conversation with a co-worker who was also gay and we brought up our beliefs. I will remember his words for the rest of my life, he said..." Tune into this week's episode to hear more on this difficult topic during Pride month.
"Stop me if I’m wrong, but I feel like EVERYONE is suffering through something right now! This world is broken, we are broken..." 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". I feel like a lot of broken people can connect with this Bible study, including myself!
"When I get home [from work] the very first thing I do is peel my scrubs off and I try not to touch anything when walking from the door to the washing machine " In this week's episode of Abundantly Able, we are wrapping up the Bible study "Disability and the Image of God" in the Joni and Friends Beyond Suffering Bible. We are focusing on discarding our dirty old ways and becoming clean and new in Christ.
Have you seen season four of The Chosen yet? In this week's episode of Abundantly Able, I talk about a very powerful scene in season four of The Chosen... and don't worry, there is NO spoiler alert!

Do you know somebody that makes your eye twitch? Well, guess what... "Jesus not only died on the cross for eye twitchers but he chose eye twitchers!!! Think about it, he chose a tax collector and I don’t care what century you're from a tax collector would make your eye twitch back then just as much as today!" In today's episode of Abundantly Able we talk (mostly) about eye twitchers... and some other good stuff too!
"I am so excited to be celebrating Abundantly Ables’ 100th episode with all y’all’s!! Now, normally we would be reading from the Bible study Disability and the Image of God from the Beyond Suffering Bible but today I wanted to do something a little different to celebrate the Abundantly Able Community!"
In today's episode, we will be offering a celebration prize and highlighting a very special kiddo who uses his Autism diagnosis to fight bullying and advocate for others on the spectrum.
"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. You are not a nothing, you are not a nobody. You are a marvelous being because you are made in God’s image! " Tune in to find out why you are the "apex of God's creation" as well as why I quote Tom Hanks from the movie Forest Gump in this week's episode.
"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!
“You can either be bitter or you can be better”. I guess life is all about choices right? How you choose to respond to a painful situation and who you allow in your heart and in your head during these times of loss and anguish.
It seems like a lot of mourning is going on (now more than ever!) The Abundantly Able community felt it appropriate to start a Bible study from the Joni and Friends "Beyond Suffering Bible" called "Comforting Those Who Mourn". It's a six Day Bible study and this is Day one!

"California Department of Mental Health did a study, they found that if you isolate yourself from others and don’t develop close friendships, you are 3x more likely to die an early death, 4 x more likely to suffer emotional burnout, 5 x more likely to be clinically depressed, and 10 x more likely to be hospitalized for an emotional or mental disorder..."
"Today, we're going to focus on lack of focus. Actually, what frustrates me is that most people only think of focus issues when hearing ADHD or ADD.

"So last week, I talked about losing my job that I loved at a vent and neuro center, a week and a half after submitting my vaccination exemption letter and blood and plasma test results proof of antibodies..."
Just two episodes ago, I opened up about needing to write my exemption letter for work. I submitted it all...a week and a half before being let go! And, all I was told was that I'm "no longer a good fit". Unfortunately, it is more than just the vaccine. It goes deeper in the healthcare system...

"Who's approval are you living for? Because God Wired us for relationships, each of us carries a desire to be loved, to be valued, and to be appreciated. We long to feel accepted and approved by others. This longing for belonging, the desire to "fit in" and feel connected to others , is the driving force behind many of the choices we make"- Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life, day 42 Join me on this weeks episode, as I read snippets from the last day of the book Purpose Driven Life. It has truly been a pleasure going on this journey with you.
"Why does she get to live in that house?" "Why did he get that job" "Why can't I be that attractive, that rich, that smart, that famous?" Envy distracts your focus away from what God want's to do in your life and refocuses it on all that you don't have. - Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life, Day 41
Something was found of mine... something from a long time ago, something from when I was suicidal and this book was given to me. It still amazes me how God works, and how he uncovered something...for you! For you, to find out about, in this episode!

"These are exciting days to be alive" in the book Purpose Driven Life, Rick explains the importance of diversity and thinking globally... especially now!
It took experiencing Hurricane Ida for me to really understand the answer to this question! Between the pandemic, hurricanes, the Haiti earthquakes, floods, the tragedy in Afghanistan, and all other sickness, natural disasters, and suffering, I feel like sharing some clarity on this popular question is fitting... as well as necessary !
I talk about some amazing people in this weeks episode... like Hosanna Wong (spoken words artist and author), Mia Rene (business coach and host of "God Centered Success" podcast), and Pastor Emil (pastor of Open Arms Church Slidell and host of "Sweet Jesus " podcast).

"I have been brainwashed to believe that I am not smart, that my existence is not important in any way, that my feelings, want’s, needs, and emotions are all null and void. And that my friend, creates quite the complex!" Listen to this weeks episode to find out why I open up about my "complex" and why the book Purpose Driven Life has helped me understand my 5th purpose in life!
"God Loves To Use Weak People." That's right.... Your weakness's are vital when it comes to acting out your calling! Read along with me in the book Purpose Driven Life to find out why...
"Money has the greatest potential to replace God in your life. More people are sidetracked from serving by materialism than anything else" In this weeks episode we read in the book Purpose Driven Life about Money, the service of self- serving, "name dropping" and other self destructive tendencies.
"Unfortunately, many leaders today start off as servants but end up as celebrities. They become addicted to attention, unaware that always being in the spotlight blinds you." In todays world everybody wants to be a celebrity! Between Facebook, instagram, twitter, snap chat, tiktok and other social media platforms it seem's that being in the limelight is easier than ever! However, in day 33 of the book Purpose Driven Life we will read why this is actually not always as beneficial as you would think!
"Ask yourself questions: What do I really enjoy doing most? When do I feel the most alive? " These questions (and more) are asked of you in the book Purpose Driven Life. So lets sit down, and ask our selves some important questions in order to find out who God really made you to be!
"Even abilities used in sin are God-given; they are just being misused or abused". During this weeks reading of The Purpose Driven Life we dig deep in YOUR abilities, YOUR experiences, and YOUR God given gifts.... Even if they are being used for Satan instead of our Savior. Even a striper is using her God given gifts of rhythm, beauty, and artistry...she is just using them for the wrong team!
"Your spiritual gifts were not given for your own benefit but for the benefit of others, just as other people were given gifts for your benefit...God planned it this way so we would need each other" In the book Purpose Driven Life we begin to find our S.H.A.P.E. If you want to know more about yourself than tune into this weeks episode of Abundantly Able.
"You are going to give your life for something. What will it be- a career, a sport, a hobby, fame wealth? None of these will have lasting significance" In this weeks episode we discuss what God is calling you to do and how crucial it is to not ignore his calling, in day 29 of the book Purpose Driven Life.

"You are only as sick as your secrets, So take off your mask, stop pretending you're perfect, and walk into freedom." In the book Purpose Driven Life we dive into how to defeat the Devil and resist temptation. Celebrate Recovery also makes a pretty powerful appearance in this weeks episode!
"God made every one of us a sexual being , and that is good. Attraction and arousal are the natural spontaneous, God-given response to physical beauty, while lust is a deliberate act of the will"
"Due to a perfect storm of sexual abuse, abusing birth control, and my body having horrible reaction to birth control. I actually am now unable to have children, but that has just fueled my passion for children". Yeah, I get a little REAL at the end of this weeks episode... will you?
"We can't watch television for three hours, then read the Bible for three minutes and expect to grow" Ouch! That stings a little Rick! In this weeks episode of Abundantly Able we are reading snippet's from Day 24 of the book Purpose Driven Life, in which we will cover Biblical reading, researching, doing, and memorizing. I also go on a few of my tangents in regards to brain/ memory dysfunction and memory recall techniques.
"Change always starts first in your mind. The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel influences the way you act" - The Purpose Driven Life Day 23 . I also have some great news concerning an update on a past topic I talked about in Abundantly Able, so listen till the end!

"You are called to belong, not just believe". Despite what we are being told during the Pandemic, this chapter of the book Purpose Driven Life emphasizes the importance of staying close, connected and united as fellow believers...which is the only way to strengthen the church!
"Busyness is a great enemy of relationships. We become preoccupied with making a living, doing our work, paying bills, and accomplishing goals as if these tasks are the point of life" This week we go over a powerful chapter in the book Purpose Driven Life during such an important time (and also, 3 days after valentines day!)
