Samantha’s Story

Samantha Taylor has been a Christian for 29 years. When she got saved, she came from a troubled past so she had a lot of transforming to do. She really started to see her life transform when she dove into the Bible more and studied the scriptures, and God helped her figure out how to apply them to her life. She knew that she was going to be in some form of ministry so she made a commitment to study the Word an hour or more a day consistently for the last 25 years!

Through this experience as she was deepening her relationship with God, she was able to overcome many things that were destructive, including drugs over 25 years ago, alcohol about 13 years ago, an abusive relationship, healing from past childhood trauma, sugar addiction and overeating issues with food. In the first five years of her relationship with her husband it was emotionally and physically abusive however they were able to overcome all of those issues as well.

But 3 years ago, she survived one of the most intense experiences of her life, losing her husband after being with him for 29 years, from the age of 17.

Most of her career for 32 years was in the health and fitness industry and helped people in losing 100 tons of fat. She had 5 personal training studios in Florida and trained over 10,000 clients in her studios and online. She also had her own radio show called “Renewing your Temple” on a Christan station and she had her own TV spot on ABC.

Her career in health and fitness constantly focusing on helping other people get healthy too helped her to stay on the consistent path of her consistent sobriety and being healthy in all areas of her life.

However, due to the impacts of covid on her business, she had to close all the studios down. That was extremely difficult and she had to lean on God in a whole new way, all happening at the same time she was recovering from losing her husband!

As she was figuring out what her next steps in life were, she knew that her passion for the Word of God and how it transformed her life was the #1 thing she wanted to inspire people in. With closed doors comes new opportunity so she figured out how to pivot and started teaching Bible studies online for the last year. Much has happened since this pivot and at the beginning of year she was asked to be a guest on a hit TV show on PBS that will be airing to 250 million homes in the fall. She also published her first book!

In March of 2024 God inspired her to go to a convention in Nashville with the biggest Christian broadcast companies in the world. She was inspired thinking about having her own TV show teaching the Word of God in ways that people could apply it to their life but she wanted to do something different. She knew she loved being out in nature and thought about how she could have a show doing both!

So pitched the idea to a TV station and they asked her to submit a pilot. This was possible because God opened up the door to work with an amazing production company who has a passion for sharing God’s message as well. They saw the vision and jumped on board to help produce and film the shows in their studio set as well as were adventurous enough to run around in the wild with Samantha on these epic scenic adventures! Capturing these shows is quite the workout for all of them, especially the guys carrying the camera equipment! Many shows have already been filmed in Malibu, CA, Salt Lake City, UT and most recently in New Zealand!!

When Samantha submitted her first pilot in May, the TV station loved it and wanted to immediately get it on TV, so it is airing on national television on the biggest Christian broadcasting network in the world! As well as on the Pray app, who is the biggest Christian app in the world for content. She has a weekly TV show on the Pray app as well as a weekly radio show!

Samantha has been writing and producing the content for the TV shows (with direction and guidance from God on what to write of course) and has been having a blast doing it! Most important, she can’t wait to see the testimonials that are going to pour in on how people’s lives are being impacted.

As she was seeking God for what He wanted her to do with her life after her whole life was different, she knew she was to take to the world what she learned in how to change your life through the Bible and your relationship with God. She also knew that this last 3 years was a serious testing ground to test by fire and trials and all that she had learned over the last 25 years studying the Bible. Was she going to collapse under the weight of the immense pressure and intensity in all she had to go thru this last 3 years? Or was going to thrive in these principles and be able to victoriously come out of that fire with Jesus right in the middle of it with her?!

Good news is, with God she was able to do it!!! And that is why she is SO excited to bring these messages to you and your family! So get ready to go on some life transforming adventures for we are all joining this adventure together! So happy you are with us! Make sure you:
