SuperAbundant Life Podcast

You Live In A Glass House, So Don't Throw Stones. As Christians, the easiest thing to do when dealing with someone who has taken a wrong turn is to forget that we ourselves are recipients of undeserved mercy.  In this week's episode Olawunmi examines the way Jesus responded to a character who absolutely deserved to be condemned and aims to ask one simple question: When you take a wrong turn (...

Why do we face challenges in life? Why does it feels like every corner you turn, there's another battle waiting to be fought? If you have a GOOD desire that will birth something beautiful in this world, logically you would expect everyone that hears of it to rally around and help make it happen, right? But reality rarely plays out that way with some even going as far as actively opposing you....

One of the easiest things to forget is that God is never going to PHYSICALLY come down and give you the money you need. Nor is he going to sit with you and counsel you about your marriage. Or get a job in your company so that he can promote you. GOD WORKS THROUGH PEOPLE. And the way you treat the people in your life, the people that God has planted in your life, will determine how far you will ris...

To many Christians, the words "spiritual warfare" are synonymous with engaging in fierce, long-drawn battles with a powerful devil that you sometimes win and sometimes lose. But if we go by what the New Testament teaches, that idea contradicts the picture painted of Satan as defeated foe who has been stripped of his authority. So, if we already have victory in Christ, what then is the "fight of fa...

This week Olawunmi interviews Banke Ajayi, the founder of AH.JA.YEE, a natural hair and skin care line for men that has been featured in the biggest lifestyle magazines in the world including GQ, Vogue and Vanity Fair. For years while working in IT, Banke had a passion for all-natural beauty products and dreamt of starting her own business. But as they say, life and its challenges kept getting in...

Is there someone in your life who you believe “always brings out the worst in you?” Or perhaps, does the type of day you have depend significantly on what mood your spouse is in, or how people treat you? The greatest power God has given every human being is the free will to think, feel and act independent of any external factor. But when we make others the source of our happiness, we give this pow...

Life never happens in a perfect straight line. Between your starting point and your final destination, you should expect many twists and turns that if not properly navigated could derail you and cause your pursuit to end in failure.  Because knowing WHAT you want and knowing HOW it will happen are two completely different things, one of the most important skills you can develop in life is cou...

Is there an area of your life that started off beautifully but has lost its shine or stagnated?  Maybe it's a marriage that has lost its intimacy. Perhaps, a career or business that was once flying but has become unfulfilling and unprofitable. Or it could be a star child that has started to misbehave. What do you do? How do you get it back on track? This week Olawunmi teaches the three practi...

The single most common reason why people don’t fulfil their dreams is the belief that they have some kind of disadvantage that disqualifies them from that dream.  That’s why so many people never even take the first step.  They assess the situation and based on standards set by people, establishments, experiences, and cultures, they rule themselves out.   And even if some do try...

When this week's guest Esther Solomon-Edun completed her university education, as a young ambitious woman she had big dreams of building a successful career as a corporate executive. But there was one small problem; she had graduated with a Third Class and recruiters were determined not to hire what one called a "sub-standard" graduate.  Everywhere she turned, doors were shut in her face desp...

I once read a great quote: “Success is fleeting. It is significance that endures.” With enough ambition and focus, anyone can achieve success.  But can it be sustained?  Well, no, not really. Not if a rarely-celebrated character trait is missing from your interactions with people, particularly with those who are coming up behind or are less advantaged than you.    This week, I...

We’ve all been there. God gave you a word and you were certain it would happen in the blink of an eye. But then, a month went by, then two. Months turned into years and you were left feeling doubtful, disappointed or maybe even resentful.  If God’s Word cannot fail, why didn't his promise to you manifest? This week, Olawunmi digs into the bible to identify the reasons why what was freely give...

Mentoring is now popular culture...but does it work? Having someone in your corner to guide you can be life-changing. But many mentoring relationships under-deliver because people have the wrong idea about what mentoring entails and the right way to approach it. This week, Olawunmi teaches the FIVE RULES you must follow to get the best out of any mentoring relationship through the life of a bible...

Catch phrases like YOLO - You Only Live Once - or "Life has no do-over" are popular nowadays. But how many can confidently say they are TRULY LIVING and enjoying this gift of life, rather than just existing? This week, Olawunmi dives into a frank discussion with her guest Banke Amune about how the busyness of our multidimensional lives has caused many people to settle for stress, dissatisfaction a...

Expertise is important. But in today’s highly competitive market, it’s not enough.   The ability to influence people through your words or your actions is a powerful and necessary tool if you’re looking to progress in your career or grow your business. Because quite simply, opportunities for growth come through people and they are more likely to pick you if they know, like or trust...

Happiness now, or happiness later?  Delayed gratification is the ability to give up a smaller but immediate reward in exchange for a larger, more enduring reward later.  And studies have linked a person’s ability to delay gratification to how successful they will turn out in life.  This week, Olawunmi teaches how and why to develop this skill by examining the life of a bible charact...

Today, Olawunmi interviews Dipo Akinrinlade, the founder of Financial Freedom Academy, and they discuss all things personal finance. Dipo shared how getting sacked from his job was the wake up call he needed to get his finances in order. Faced with significant consumer debt and an unexpected reduction in his family’s income, Dipo began his transformational journey from crippling financial pressure...

Holding a person or yourself to high expectations usually has a positive effect. But it is also easy to take it too far, where nothing short of superhuman effort is celebrated or even recognised.   In today's episode, Olawunmi examines the life of a bible character whose tendency to be harshly critical and difficult to please brought him a lot of success at first, but eventually led to h...

 An unnervingly high proportion of children raised in Christian homes walk away from God by the time they leave university. Why is that? In this episode, Olawunmi interviews Joy Akinwonmi, founder of ArrowsNArchers, a platform that equips Christian parents to raise children for excellence, wholeness and success in life.  Joy shared how she herself was raised in a very Christian home but...

An African proverb says, “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go with someone.” Superhumans may be popular on our movie screens, but they don't exist in real life. Yet, many people believe that admitting one’s deficiencies is a sign of weakness. And because they don't reach out for the support they need, the journey becomes too difficult and they give up.  In today's epis...

When you see someone in need, it is natural to want to reach out and help them. That’s the way human beings are designed. But not everyone can or should be helped by you. Because it will do more damage than good - either to yourself or to the person.  This week, Olawunmi examines the fine line between encouragement (inspiring someone to productive action) and enablement (helping someone to pe...

The host of the SuperAbundant Life Podcast, Olawunmi Brigue, introduces the audience to the concept of the SuperAbundant Life and shares her own story of inside-out transformation.  Barely out of school and pregnant out of wedlock, with no job or money, she battled constantly with an unrelenting sense of worthlessness in the midst of depression, bitterness, guilt, shame and confusion.  O...

The disease to please has been described as a deep rooted desire to be seen as wonderful in all circumstances; to be considered thoughtful and nice and to make everyone around you feel good. Saying “no” to people is difficult, even when you really believe you should.  Could there be any harm to living this way?  In this episode, Olawunmi examines the disease to please through the life of...
