Naturalies
Naturalies. My name is Samantha-Jo, I am the host for this amazing podcast that I am hoping save souls. My reasoning for starting this podcast came about after I gave my life to Christ on July 11, 2021. I started finding myself constantly want to talk about my struggles (HOT: humble, open & transparent), the things that have given me strength, the things God has done for me & most importantly the things I know that God has for me. I know you're thinking "oh here we go with some religious podcast" but I'm asking that you look deeper than that. I am a Christian & yes I pray this podcast changes lives in ways beyond my belief but if its not enough to convince you to stay I will also mention the other things I am that God has allowed me to be. I am a single Mother of 4, YES FOUR amazing boys who at the end of this year will be 12, 6, 4 & 2. I am a business owner (if you have instagram JosCraftShack & Sheis.waisted). I am also a nurse, I have been for almost 4 years now. So again if religion isnt enough to convince you to stay then stick around for the other things I have to offer. Why Naturalies? I recently (1 year ago) left a very toxic relationship after 8 years & literally started completely over in the middle of the pandemic with all 4 children. I literally built my own kitchen table, tv stand, coffee table, my bed & childrens bed & started over knowing only what I thought I knew. Black women have been placed in boxes all of our lives. "Starting over is harder than you think so you should probably stay" "You cant do it without this person or that person", "You have to act this way, its not lady like to do it that way", "You cant jump out on faith because nobody in our family has done that", "You cant be better than what you come from", "your idea isnt good enough to take you there" ALL LIES, LIES, AND MORE LIES THAT PEOPLE HAVE PLACED ON BLACK WOMEN & LADIES YOU DO NOT HAVE TO AGREE TO MEET ANY STANDARD YOU, YOURSELF, DID NOT SET! This is my safe haven for black women, no matter what you look like, your body size, your bank account or profession, single mom, married mom, in a bad situation, left a bad situation LISTEN I do not care. Come, let your hair down, act the way you want to act even if it doesn't make sense to anyone else, cry a little, heal a lot & know that this is a sisterhood. Im so ready for this journey. I love you ladies.

This concludes Season 5, The Marriage Season.
"Samuel never went to meet with Saul again, but he mourned constantly for him. And the Lord was sorry he had ever made Saul king of Israel." "Now the Lord said to Samuel, "you have mourned long enough for Saul. I have rejected him as king of Israel, so fill your flask with olive oil and go to Bethlehem." (1 Samuel 15:35, 1 Samuel 16:1)
Sometimes God wrecks our lives, not to destroy us but...
The enemy is after marriage and it's because he knows God honors marriage. He knows how strategic God is & therefore he knows the consideration that God used when putting certain ppl together. He knows marriage is ministry & marriage is an assignment & if he doesn't do everything he can EARLY ON to ruin your marriage then it will become this power source that God had intended for it to become & through that comes ot...
The same thing God wants to use, the enemy does too. God had to teach me the strategies of the enemy by showing me the very gifts God wants to use, the enemy wants to use as well. I heard a pastor once say, "Sin will take you further than you wanna go, and it will keep you longer than you want to stay." Self control is one of the fruits of the spirit and the main area I had to learn self-control in was my mouth. The old me would sa...
Marriage has been defined so many ways by so many people when in actuality the Bible has set and established the principles and foundation for what God defines for marriage. Understand that the Bible provides how marriage should be orchestrated and applied however being that everyone is different EXPECT everyones marriage to look differently. God isn't doing the same thing in everyone because we are all uniquely made so it is expec...
I am so happy to be back, its been such an eventful season and boy has it been tough. I am here to share and teach all that God has been teaching me in this previous season of my life. This season is geared towards marriage and the things Christians don't talk about when it comes to marriages. They never tell you how you can start off equally yoked and become unequally yoked. They never tell you how the promise God has given you mi...
You have what it takes and you can't allow yourself to believe that you don't. The enemy wants you to believe that you can't achieve greatness even when you are going through some things but you can. Sometimes God will show you who you are in the midst of adversity. ALLOW YOURSELF TO PUSH PAST YOUR OWN LIMITATIONS SO GOD CAN SHOW YOU WHO YOU ARE.

Do you trust God enough to give him back the thing he has given to you in faith that he will give it back to you when you need it? Often times we think that because it came from God he won't ask for it back. See sometimes God will ask for it back to see if you trust him like you say you do. Sometimes he will ask for it back because you are not stewarding well over it. & another reason he may ask for it back is because he has pl...
Originally this started off as a marriage podcast but Holy Spirit had other plans. We got this crazy on the spot revelation where God did what I call a two for one special where he uses two different situations for one purpose. The purpose of this on the spot revelation was God reminding us not to let the devil steal our joy. Often times we get so wrapped up in God doing things the way we want, when we want, and when it doesn't hap...
I have learned so much through my short time of being married. I have realized how marriage is truly a continuous sacrifice but a sacrifice you don't mind making even when it is hard because it feeds not only you but your spirit.
Culture has tainted marriage and just because everyone is married doesn't mean its a Godly marriage. Culture has convinced you that marriage is no longer the goal because good marriages no longer exist. Th...
Do you desire to live in authenticity knowing that even with struggles God desires to use you?
I think often times we assume that when ppl come to Christ they automatically change overnight & thats not the case. The only change made that quick is your heart. You have now allowed your yes to open your heart to change which will take place throughout the process in which will set you free at some point in time.
I encourage yo...
God why is it taking so long? I've been faithful, I've stewarded well, I've been obedient. I know you may be in a season where you are trusting God to change your financial situation, I am too. However I want you to know that there might be a little more pruning required before you get there. We say "God im ready" but remember God knows when we are truly ready because God will not withhold anything from you when the time comes for ...
Episode 2 is now available on YouTube & the audio version will be available tonight. Check out the audio on Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Amazon, Vurbl, & Reason.
Authenticity is the key to having a real relationship with God. You have to be okay knowing who you are, where you currently are and the things you struggle with. God sees your heart and he knows you desire to become the person he has created...
After 3 Seasons of just audio I have finally made the decision to get a visual content. I am so excited to be back after almost a year. 2023 was such a wild year but it produced so much. My faith has reached a level its never been at before, my relationship with God has deepened in such a life changing way & my commitment to my assignment from God has been fueled like no other. 2024, I have been given the green light & I am...
Detour roads take us off our original route but it reconnects back to the original route in a different way. The same thing happens for the detours that God has us take that are off side of our original plans. James 4:13-17
A shift has taken place. Eyes haven't seen, Ears haven't heard ALL THAT GOD IS ABOUT TO DO FOR ME IN 2023!
God thank you for the happiest year of my life.
Its time to stop second guessing yourself & stop letting the enemy try to convince you that you're not enough because you are.
It's okay to be scared but jump anyway. Its faith over fear.
I pray that you overcome the battle of deciding whether or not you should let your light shine or play it safe. "If you never jump, your parachute will never open."-Steve Harvey
Life doesnt run off routine, the moment we confine ourselves to a routine we forget that we are human, Each day is different and each day should be created in the way we choose to create it. Value isn't attached to productivity. You can rest & still be valuable, you can not finish your to do list and still be valuable.
I pray that you start treating your days as art knowing that you're the artist.
-Matthew 13: 2-29
You might be the FIRST to make it to this point & that's OKAY!
You got this, stay in rooted in this season of waiting & watch God fulfill his promise!

So yes I'm here to upset your world.
