How creating abundance unlocks your purpose and blessing
"If I don't do this, what am I really losing?"
Friend, this question kept me trapped for years.
When an inspired idea would come, instead of moving forward with confidence, I'd talk myself out of it by thinking I could live without that accomplishment, that extra income, that goal.
And I could justify it all away.
But in a recent episode of Alive and Abundant, I shared my breakthrough moment—when I realized the profound selfishness of this thinking.
The question I should have been asking was:
"If I don't create this, who might miss out on something valuable?"
This simple shift changed everything.
When God places a vision in your heart, it's rarely just about you. Your ideas, your gifts, your resources aren't meant to benefit only your life—they're meant to flow through you to bless others.
As 2 Corinthians 9 reminds us, God provides seed to the farmer and bread to eat, but also increases our resources to "produce a great harvest of generosity" in us.
What idea has God planted in your heart that others are waiting to benefit from? What gift are you holding back that someone else desperately needs? What resources has God given you that were meant to flow, not stagnate?
I invite you to listen to this week's episode, where I unpack this revelation and show how shifting from selfish thinking to kingdom thinking can transform not just your life, but countless others.
Living abundantly isn't about accumulating more—it's about allowing more to flow through you.
With love and encouragement,
Stefanie

Second Guessing God's Calling in Your Life?
Have you ever felt God nudging you toward something new, something bigger—but then immediately talked yourself out of it?
In today's podcast episode of Alive and Abundant, I share how those nagging thoughts kept circling in my mind:
"What if I'm not good enough?"
"At my age, can I really do this?"
"What if I fail?"
"What will my family think?"
Sound familiar? I thought so.
Here's the truth I discovered: it's never your circumstances holding you back—it's your thoughts and feelings. And I learned the hard way when I hit that breaking point at home with my kids (including two from foster care) and thought a job change would fix everything.
But God showed me something powerful through Moses' story in Exodus. When God called Moses, his first response was, "Who am I to do this?" Sound like someone you know? (I was right there with Moses!)
In this episode, I break down:
How to identify and capture those limiting thoughts (using 2 Corinthians 10:5 as our guide)
What God's response to Moses teaches us about our own doubts
Why God doesn't need you to be perfect—just obedient
Practical steps to start moving forward in your calling TODAY
God isn't looking for perfection—He's looking for obedience.
And when you step out in faith, His promise is clear: "I will be with you."

She explains how this rebrand better aligns with her biblical perspective while removing obstacles to reaching women who feel stuck in mediocrity, routine, and unfulfilled purpose. This episode bridges the transition between names while previewing exciting new content ahead, including upcoming discussions on loving God while struggling with church and other real faith challenges.
Whether you're a longtime listener or new to the podcast, this episode clarifies Stefanie's heart behind the ministry and her continued commitment to helping women discover purpose-filled living through Christ-centered transformation.
