Abundant Living Podcast has earned its place among the Top 100 Christian Podcasts on the Internet for three consecutive years! This recognition isn't something we sought after or paid for; it's a testament to the quality and substance of our content. A team of professionals, whom we've never even met, approved us for this honor based on the excellence of our podcasts.
Our growth and success are thanks to our incredible audience and dedicated ministry leaders. We're committed to serving the Lord by delivering high-quality podcasts that spread the Gospel message of hope and peace. Being recognized in the Top 100 Podcasts on the Internet is a reflection of our dedication to serving God and our listeners. Ultimately, it's God who guides both our audience and our speakers to choose Abundant Living Podcast for their podcasting experience.
Our audience is truly exceptional. They embody the essence of Christian values—being respectful, kind, and loving. Their feedback to Dr. Oliver and our podcast speakers guides and empowers us to deliver the best content possible, shaping our platform into what it is today.
Dr. Oliver, our host, brings a wealth of experience and charisma to the table. His background as a pastor, public speaker, and consultant lends credibility and depth to our interviews. He puts in the hard work to prepare for each episode and asks thought-provoking questions that set us apart from other podcasts.
We offer a diverse range of podcasts featuring speakers with unique and powerful stories to share. Each speaker aims to uplift and inspire listeners, encouraging them to open their hearts to receive spiritual nourishment and take meaningful action.
We operate as a non-denominational podcast ministry, focused on spreading the Gospel message. While we allow speakers to express their views, we reserve the right to decline content that contradicts our core beliefs. Our commitment to maintaining quality and alignment with our mission is paramount.
Our podcasts are designed to be accessible and enjoyable. They're kept to a manageable length of around 30 minutes and are professionally edited for consistent sound quality. Dr. Oliver's meticulous attention to detail ensures a smooth listening experience, even if it means pausing to address unexpected interruptions like helicopter noise!
Our unique blend of dedicated audience, skilled hosting, diverse content, commitment to our beliefs, and attention to quality sets Abundant Living Podcast apart from the rest. We strive to deliver outstanding results that our listeners can enjoy and benefit from.
If you're facing an emergency, dial 911 immediately. Beyond that, we encourage you to reach out to trusted individuals in your life—whether it's a family member, a close friend, a co-worker, or someone you know you can rely on. Seeking guidance from your healthcare advisor, a Christian counselor, clergy, or your pastor can also provide valuable support and direction.
At Abundant Living Podcast, while we're committed to offering diverse content and ministries to our listeners, it's important to note that we're not responsible for the views, opinions, or communications of our speakers. We do not provide legal, medical, or counseling advice during our podcasts or in any communications. Our goal is to offer uplifting and inspiring content, but for personalized assistance with life's challenges, we recommend seeking guidance from qualified professionals or trusted individuals in your community.

Our audience primarily consists of adults, as we don't target children. Our main focus is on reaching the unsaved and providing support to discouraged or hurting Christians. We aim to offer encouragement through a diverse range of ministries from around the world.
While our ultimate goal is to serve these specific groups, we also find that our content resonates with Sunday School teachers, students, and preachers who seek inspiration from Abundant Living Podcast. Additionally, each speaker typically brings their own supporters and followers to our platform, generating further interest and traffic.
Currently, we offer our podcast services at no charge, although donations are greatly appreciated. We simply ask that you place a backlink on your website to your Abundant Living Podcast to help spread the word and grow our community.
We're incredibly grateful for the growth and reach we've experienced since starting with just one podcast on PTSD. While we can't provide exact visitor numbers due to technical limitations, we're thrilled to report significant expansion both within the US and internationally over the past three years.
By the end of April 2024, our immediate goal is to expand our presence from three hosting platforms to eight, including some of the largest platforms globally. This is a monumental step for us, as it significantly increases our potential audience reach. With each podcast having the potential to reach millions of listeners, the addition of five more hosting platforms will further amplify our impact.
Additionally, we're proud to mention that among our hosting platforms in our current list is one that reaches 2,500 churches, providing an invaluable avenue for spreading our message.

Our process for creating ministry podcasts involves four phases:
Phase 1: Pre-Production Phase
In this phase, we begin by having a short 5-minute introductory phone call to get acquainted. Following this, we send you a few emails and provide you with a DataForm to complete. This form is crucial for preparing for the podcast interview. Once the DataForm is completed, we send you an email containing a special scheduling link that takes you to a calendar where you can schedule your interview. After scheduling, you'll receive an immediate email with instructions on how to connect for the interview. Our website features testimonials from our speakers, giving insight into the quality and process used to create your podcast.
Phase 2: Production Phase
During this phase, you connect to our system either by computer using a special ID or by calling in using a landline. If these options aren't available, you can also use a cell phone, although the quality may be slightly lower.
Phase 3: Post-Production
This phase involves our work to polish up the interview through editing. We build you a customized webpage which hosts your podcast, complete with a podcast player and a description of your ministry.
Phase 4: Promotion Phase
In the final phase, you have the opportunity to announce your new podcast to the world. We provide you with an official link that directs visitors to your podcast webpage.
If you have questions about these phases or our podcast creation process, feel free to contact Dr. Oliver at 972-641-8242. We're here to assist you every step of the way in creating an excellent quality podcast experience for your ministry.
We're truly grateful and blessed to have the opportunity to build a podcast for your ministry. As a small request, we kindly ask that you include the official link to your new amazing podcast to your main website.
Most individuals find it beneficial to share this link on their Facebook page, various social media platforms, and include it in their newsletters. By doing so, you'll help to maximize the visibility of your podcast and reach a wider audience with your ministry's message.
Your cooperation in sharing the official link is greatly appreciated and will contribute to the success of your podcast and the impact of your ministry. Thank you for considering this request.
The Mini-Cast Directory is a feature on our website designed to provide visitors with a convenient way to preview short, 2-minute videos of a speaker's podcast. Each mini-cast video is accompanied by a description below and a direct link to the full podcast episode. This allows website visitors to quickly scan through several mini-casts before selecting a 30-minute podcast to enjoy.
For speakers interested in maximizing views and listens to their podcast, the Mini-Cast Directory offers a valuable opportunity. We do this without asking speakers to invest in more interview time or scripting. Generally our speakers typically provide us with the necessary content to support our building their podcast webpage. Ministries who wish to participate in this program receive a custom 2-minute video that can be costly if sourced independently online.
Speakers can utilize these mini-cast videos across various platforms, including social media and their own websites, to promote their podcast with us. Additionally, inclusion in our directory helps speakers attract more traffic to their podcast.
To learn more about how your podcast can benefit from the Mini-Cast Directory, feel free to view actual mini-cast videos on our website. Then, give Dr. Oliver a call at 972-641-8242 to express your interest and get further details. He'll be happy to assist you and answer any questions you may have.
