Encouraging My Friends at The Bowery Mission

What a joy and honor to get to share an encouraging word with my friends at The Bowery Mission during their virtual All Staff Devotions last week!

It’s always an honor to get to encourage and inspire groups 🔥

I was delighted to share an entry from Feisty Faith with them.

Along with sharing an encouraging Feisty Faith entry with the The Bowery’s staff, I’m also teaching an online class at the New York School of the Bible based on Feisty Faith and I do a monthly devotional via Facebook Live for an online global group of Christian Women Entrepreneurs.

Only God could do this!

You can get copies of the encouraging Feisty Faith: Trusting God Day by Day 365-day devotional for you and yours on Amazon.

If you’d like to invite me to speak an encouraging word to your online group, check out my Speaker page and message me on Instagram.

You can learn more about the incredible work The Bowery Mission has been doing for more than 150 years here.

Guest on the She Impacts Culture Podcast

What a blessing to be a guest on the She Impacts Culture podcast 🙌 Part 1 of my fascinating conversation with Dr. Jen Bennett is now live 🔥

Here’s more about the episode straight from the host:

Wow! I can’t believe we’ve made it to the 70th episode of the #SheImpactsCulture podcast! And today, you are in for a treat! Friends, if you are a dreamer and a doer, and if you enjoy achievement and accomplishments (like me), you will love this episode!

My guest, Nancy Gavilanes, and I specifically chat through:

💥 The top 3 warning signs for when achievement and accomplishments have become our idol

💥 How to not allow the desire for more to become our idol

💥 Setting healthy boundaries between moving forward in our work and being content with where God has us

💥 How to surrender our professional dreams to God

Friends, we live in a very achievement, driven world. If we’re not careful, we will find our identity is tied to what we achieve and accomplish. This episode will encourage you to place your professional dreams in the hands of Jesus and to trust the journey that He has you on.

Hope you’re blessed and encouraged by our conversation. Listen on your favorite platform or click this link and be sure to tell your friends.

P.S. If you’d like to invite me to be a guest on your podcast, DM me on Abounding Faith’s Instagram for more info and feel free to check out Abounding Faith’s Media Page for other interviews I’ve done and articles I’ve written.

Celebrating the 40th Episode of the Abounding Faith for Today Podcast

Please join me in celebrating the 40th episode of the Abounding Faith for Today Podcast!

This introverted INFJ (who isn’t very techie) didn’t know how she would feel about hosting and producing a podcast. This former journalist didn’t have any radio or podcasting experience (and this was way before the pandemic podcast boom).

My comfort zone is behind a computer or with my pen in hand.

But God!

I kept feeling drawn to speak …

God has called me to write and speak for His glory. So, I’ve gotten more comfortable behind the mic whether it’s been at live events and services (pre-pandemic), on camera or simply just with my microphone.

This exhorter and evangelist delights in encouraging YOU as you walk by abounding faith, hope and love and dare to live your God-given dreams.

I’ve shared some of my favorite Bible verses, excerpts from my five Christian living books and devotionals, thoughts on grief and loads of encouragement and prayers in the different episodes and during my Feisty Faith Chats. I’ve also delighted in sharing empowering messages during my Motivational Monday Coaching Messages.

You can check out this edifying and uplifting podcast anywhere you listen to podcasts including:


I’d love to know if you have a fave episode or what you enjoy doing while you’re listening to the episodes. Leave a comment here or on Abounding Faith’s Instagram.


I’m grateful to all my podcast listeners near and far. Thank you for supporting and praying for this Christian Latina Author, Speaker and Podcast Host & Producer.


I’ll keep writing and speaking as long as God keeps giving me something to say.


If the podcast is inspiring you, please subscribe, leave a kind review and rating and share the podcast with others who could use this Bible-based encouragement.

Another great way to show your appreciation for the podcast is by buying the show’s creator a coffee, or two, or more right here.

If you have ideas or suggestions for future episodes, DM me on Abounding Faith’s Instagram. Blessings!

Debuted as a Devotional Message Team Member for My CWEN Sisters

What an honor and delight to help encourage and empower my CWEN sisters last Thursday during my debut as a member of their Devotional Message Team. I’ll be sharing inspiring messages twice a month based on entries from the Feisty Faith: Trusting God Day by Day 365-day devotional (available on Amazon).

Over the years since that spectacular September when God chased me down in Sydney, I’ve had the great honor and privilege of ministering to a diverse group of people including:

  • Christian college and Bible school students
  • Christians working at the United Nations
  • Strangers on the street during outreaches
  • Women in shelters
  • The homeless and needy on the street and in soup kitchens/shelters
  • Nursing home residents
  • Youth and adults in Brazil, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Honduras and Peru
  • My peers and church family and friends, etc…

I’m so grateful my Readers (who are located on 5 continents, in 10 countries outside of the U.S. and in 15 states) and those who have attended my events are a beautiful mix of women and men of diverse backgrounds, ages and life stages. Abounding Faith’s Bible-based books have encouraged Pastors, Pastors’ wives, missionaries, chaplains, Sunday school teachers, Christian counselors and Ministry Leaders as well as new believers.

I now have the great delight of helping to encourage and empower Christian female entrepreneurs near and far through online devotional messages.

WHY am I sharing this?

Wanna know what I’ve noticed?

Regardless of a person’s age, title, experience, background or bank account …

People are hurting. People need the Lord!

I’m honored whenever the Lord sees fit to use me to help touch even one soul, whether it’s in person, virtually or through my writing…

to God be the Glory!

I appreciate your continued prayers and support and encouragement as I live out God’s call on my life in this season.

God knows what’s on the other side of our YES!

“Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” (Psalm 34:8 NIV)
