We hear "Sabbath" and often think of rules, routines, or simply taking a day off. But when you look at the life of Jesus, He repeatedly healed people on the Sabbath, and that raises an important question:

was He breaking God's command... or revealing its true purpose?

If you've ever struggled to slow down, felt guilty for resting, or found yourself striving to earn what Jesus has already finished, this conversation for you.

we're diving into what Jesus' resurrection actually accomplished. Why did He have to rise again? What does the empty tomb mean for us now? And why is the resurrection so much more than a promise of heaven someday?

We'll walk through John's Gospel to uncover the beauty of the cross, the victory over sin and death, and the incredible gift of reconciliation with God.

This week's conversation with Ella Hofford is one I know so many of you are going to resonate with. We talk about perfectionism, fitness, food, social media, faith, and what it really looks like to surrender every area of your life to Jesus.

Ella shares her story of growing up in ballet, finding her identity in performance, and how what looked like "discipline" slowly became a need for control. She opens up about counting blueberries, chasing perfection, navigating heartbreak, building a platform online, and how a trip to Africa completely shifted her perspective on what truly matters.

If you've ever struggled with body image, perfectionism, the pressure to perform, or simply trying to hold everything together, I pray this conversation reminds you that freedom isn't found in having more control, it's found in trusting Jesus.

I'd love to hear what part of this conversation impacted you the most. Leave a comment below, I read every single one.

In this episode, we're talking all about what it actually means to defend your faith. Not by arguing with people or trying to win debates, but by knowing Jesus deeply enough that you can confidently share the hope you have.

Waiting is hard.But what if the waiting season isn't a punishment? In today's episode, we're talking about the purpose behind the waiting. From Abraham to David to Joseph, Scripture is filled with people who spent years waiting on God's promises, and none of those years were wasted.JOIN THE OVERFLOW:https://www.theabundantco.net/resourcesJoin our email list:https://terrific-forest-86154.myflodesk.com/duqj1dtyzpLet's connect:Instagram: @theabundant.coPodcast: It's AbundanceWebsite: theabundantco.net
