What Looks Like Failure Is Actually Foundation | Girl & Her Bible with Pastor Amber
In this powerful 2025 year end finale, Pastor Amber shares Lesson #3: What looks like failure is actually foundation. After launching a podcast, designing T-shirts, creating courses, and building websites without selling a single product, she discovered the real question isn’t “Did I waste my time?” but “Who did I become?” This raw, vulnerable episode reveals how God measures success differently than the world, why delay isn’t denial but preparation, and how your greatest growth happens in the gap between hoping and having. Learn why your 10 year season might be building generational capacity, how to shift from ambition to strategy, and why 2026 requires you to scale instead of stay comfortable. Perfect for entrepreneurs, creatives, and women who gave their all in 2025 but didn’t see the results they expected. Includes a prophetic prayer for breakthrough in 2026.
In this powerful New Year’s Eve episode, Pastor Amber shares Lesson #2 from her 2025 journey: Don’t carry what God didn’t assign to you. Drawing from her transformative trip to New York, she reveals how fear is just a feeling, but when God speaks, you must move. Learn the difference between being a “good person” and a “God person,” discover how emotional leverage keeps you in bondage, and understand why doubts are emotions, not reality. This episode will challenge you to examine: Are you living based on what God assigned or what you think you need to prove? Perfect for anyone entering 2026 seeking clarity, freedom from people pleasing, and alignment with God’s true purpose for their life.
Ending 2025 feeling drained by relationships? Pastor Amber gets real about the biggest lesson she learned this year: presence doesn’t equal value. In this raw, reflective episode, she breaks down why most relationships are transactional, how to spot people’s true motives in 4-5 months, and why she stopped betraying herself to keep people around. If you’ve been confusing loyalty with proximity, giving too much to people who just show up, or staying too long in situations that don’t serve you, this episode will give you permission to pivot. Learn the boundaries that expose people’s motives, why divine timing never looks like you expect, and how to trust God’s promises even when your year didn’t go as planned.
You’ll walk away with: The 4-month pattern recognition rule | How to pivot without the sunk cost fallacy | Why God answers prayers differently than you think | Permission to value yourself more than people’s presence
Perfect for: Anyone ending the year feeling stuck, drained, or questioning relationships that aren’t adding real value to their life.
Most of the pain you keep running into is not betrayal. It is misjudgment. You gave the wrong people access to your emotions. You trusted roles their behavior never proved they could hold. You expected consistency from people who have shown you, over and over, that they will not show up for you.

There’s a version of you the world calls strong, but she’s not the real you.
She’s the version you built when fear, disappointment, and abandonment made you believe you had to perform to be chosen, stay in control to stay safe, and look strong to be worthy.
These fear-based agreements shaped your identity.
They built the “strong woman” mask you wear today.
And they are the reason you keep repeating cycles you’re tired of living through.
In this teaching, we expose the truth:
• why you cling to chaos even while praying for clarity
• how self-sabotage is rooted in “I don’t deserve real love”
• the agreements that keep you overgiving, overworking, and overstaying
• how pride and image hide the parts of you that feel unworthy
• how survival scripts keep you small, afraid, and double minded
• how to break the lies you made peace with for years
If you’re done performing strength and ready to confront the lie that built your identity, start here.
And if you want help uncovering the lies you’ve been repeating for years, go to PastorAmber.com and download "It Was a Lie".
It will help you expose the beliefs that shaped your false identity so you can finally rebuild from truth.
Life doesn’t just happen...it happens because of you. In this episode, Amber guides you through a 10-year audit so you can stop living reactively and start building legacy on purpose. From generational inheritance (spiritual, emotional, financial) to reverse-engineering your vision into daily routines, you’ll learn how to design the next decade with discipline, faith, and emotional endurance.
You’ll hear Amber share her own journey. Raising Kaiden, moving to Atlanta, choosing boundaries and truth. And why “vision doesn’t fail… people quit.” If you’re ready to trade numb survival for intentional strategy, this is your blueprint.
You’ll learn:
• Reactive vs proactive living: design or default
• The legacy lens: inheritance beyond money (wisdom, wholeness, stewardship)
• The 10-Year Audit: lessons, patterns, people, and non-negotiables
• Reverse-engineering: decade → year → quarter → month → daily habits
• Character over circumstance: bending without breaking
• Emotional endurance: why transformation hurts and how to keep going
Letting go isn’t about not caring anymore. It’s about choosing peace over patterns.
In this powerful episode of Girl & Her Bible, Amber digs deep into what it really means to release someone you still love. When your heart still remembers, but your spirit knows it’s time to move on.
You’ll learn:
• Why love and obedience sometimes can’t coexist
• How to recognize when familiarity is disguised as safety
• The truth about emotional attachments and childhood wounds
• How to rebuild self-trust after toxic or inconsistent relationships
• Why real healing requires structure, not just emotion
This is your permission to stop performing strength and start practicing surrender.

They said they were called. Said they were with you and even transformed by the vision. But the moment you required more..the moment you set a standard, they walked.
In this raw, unfiltered episode of Girl & Her Bible, Pastor Amber opens up about the pain of building God’s vision when the people you once poured into become the very ones who disappear.

Daughter, Your Faith Has Made You Whole

Pastor Amber reveals why your faith is more than words, how God restores broken identities, and why “Go in peace” wasn’t just a goodbye, it was a release into wholeness.

Last week, we discussed the mercy season, a necessary process of self-sacrifice involving the surrender of ego, attitude, impatience, and the need to control outcomes. This week, we transition into the phase of activation.
In Part 2 of our Esther series, we witness God’s unfolding of purpose. Instead of relying on performance or striving, God reveals purpose through surrender, hiddenness, and obedience. Esther didn’t actively pursue the throne; she didn’t attempt to use her beauty, charm, or emotional manipulation to shape her future. Instead, she was an untrained yet chosen individual who submitted to wise counsel, underwent silent processing, and was refined by trust.
During the four years of waiting, Esther couldn’t comprehend that God was preparing her for a pivotal moment that would alter her life forever. By the time her true assignment is revealed, she no longer seeks clarity; instead, she walks in divine boldness, declaring, “If I perish, I perish.”
We live in a world that rushes everything :success, healing, purpose. But God doesn’t take shortcuts. In this episode, I break down Esther 2:12 and show you why your hidden season is not punishment, it’s preparation. Just like Esther spent 12 months being purified before seeing the king, God is stripping, healing, and rebuilding you for kingdom influence. Don’t rush it....what He’s doing in you is too holy to be hurried!
In this episode, Pastor Amber gets raw. She unpacks five gut-check questions that will push you out of auto-pilot and into real transformation. For the first time, she shares personal truths she’s never said out loud, because too many of us are calling survival “strength.” But until you get honest about who you really are, you’ll keep living numb and calling it noble. It’s time to snap out of it.
