Living the Abundant Life in Jesus

Have you ever wonder what the abundant life Jesus offers really is and how to live it?    Angela welcomes award-winning author, speaker, and retreat founder Robin Gerblick to discuss John 10:10. Robin shares her own story of deep loss, God’s faithful abundance, and the unmistakable ways God made this verse (and its promise) personal to her. Together, they explore the meaning of true abundance and how to notice God’s “more than enough” even in hard seasons.   Episode Highlights Context of John: Written by the Apostle John to reveal Jesus as fully God and fully man; John’s gospel highlights seven signs/miracles and seven “I Am” statements, emphasizing the divinity and authority of Christ. John 10—the context: Jesus sets himself apart from the thief (the enemy), who steals, kills, and destroys, while Jesus gives abundant, overflowing life; this is true both eternally and in the everyday. Robin’s personal story: Her “river moment” of desperation and lament, and how God met her in her deepest valley with the promise of John 10:10—confirmed and repeated through unforgettable “10:10” signs everywhere. Honest perspective: Abundance might look small or different from what we expect, but God brings fullness and goodness even in dry seasons, guiding us to notice his presence and gifts. Great Quotes “The enemy was real then—and he’s real now. But Jesus’s promise of abundance is true in every season—not just eternally, but for today.” “Believing is seeing. Once you believe, you begin to see the abundance God has placed before you.” “If the enemy can’t keep us from being saved, he’ll do anything to undermine our freedom—but we have the greater promise.” “There are so many little things God puts in our path that bring blessing, joy, and abundance; we just need eyes to see them.” “Jesus’s abundant life isn’t just for the future—it’s for the valley, for lament, and for everyday moments if we keep leaning into him.” Resources Mentioned Scripture: John 10:10 Robin’s Website: robingerblick.com Book: Giving Up Grace: A Spiritual Rebranding of the Soul (Nonfiction Book of the Year, 2025) Ministry: Exodus Women’s Retreats Related Episodes Ep. 23: Our Source of Living Water (Lisa Granger) Ep. 15: Grace Abounds All the More (Julie Sanders)  Ep. 2: Living by the Spirit (Cally Logan)  Life as Worship Newsletter For weekly devotions, small group questions, and updates: Subscribe Here
