Hi! I'm Anna Szabo

My discipleship ministry is about helping Christian women trust God, draw closer to Jesus, and grow in faith. I help you see yourself the way God sees you. I show you how to create a joyful life by embracing God's word. I am a Christian poet with a collection of nearly 200 poems, Christian YouTuber with over 500 videos, Christian podcast host of The Anna Szabo Show, Christian speaker (if you want to hire me for your next event, check out my speaker page), and a Christian coach (if you would like to work with me 1:1 to move you toward your goals, visit my coaching page). I wear many hats, and I'm sure you do, too. While we all have many aspects to our identities, identity in Christ is the foundation of everything I teach, coach, and do. Here's the truth: you are a child of God. You are loved, accepted, forgiven, valuable, worthy, special, and equipped for greatness. God prepared good work in advance for you to do. You can do all things through Christ. I believe that God has a plan, His plan is good, and you are a part of God's good plan. You are living out a story for God's glory!

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

My Christian ministry is supported by your donations. If you believe in the work I'm doing in God's kingdom, support my ministry by making a donation now. "Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account." Philippians 4:17

The Six Pillars of Joyful Living.

Here's exactly how you can create a joyful life by embracing God's word.

FAITH

You have to have faith if you want to experience joy. Everyone's life sometimes rocks and sometimes sucks, but God's mercies are new every morning. Faith helps you remember who you are, whose you are, why you're here, and where you're going. I suffered a lot in life: childhood abuse, incest, teen pregnancy, divorce, poverty, homelessness, and domestic violence. Yet, I have faith. That's why I feel joy and live at peace. I know you've been through a lot. Despite all your trials, you can create a joyful life by embracing God's word!

FOOD

You have to eat healthy if you want to experience joy every day. When you eat crap, you feel like crap. God's word teaches us to eat plants (fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds), avoid gluttony (overeating and binge-eating), give thanks, be mindful of what we eat, why, and how, and never indulge. Using food to escape your emotions? You can lose weight, start fasting, and learn to love colorful homemade soups and salads. You can create a joyful life by embracing God's word!

FITNESS

You must exercise if you want to experience joy. God's word says your body is not your own. It's a temple for the Holy Spirit. You must honor God with your body by taking care of it every day. You only have one body, and you need it to "run your race and finish it," as the Bible mentions. Start walking, stretching, hula hooping, exercising with weights, planking, jumping, jogging, hiking, and kayaking to keep your body healthy, strong, and fit. You are worthy of the effort required to create a joyful life by embracing God's word!

FINANCES

You must do God's work to provide for yourself. You have to earn an income and save money. The Bible teaches us to work hard and use our talents to make a living so that we don't go without. The word of God tells us to avoid debt and not be a slave to the lender but live within our means and also be generous. God instructs us to pay off our debts and gather money little by little to let it grow over time. If you follow Biblical financial wisdom, you will be able to create a joyful life by embracing God's word!

FELICITY

You have to have a positive mental attitude by remaining hopeful, optimistic, and enthusiastic about your future. Where there's no vision, people perish, the Bible says. To have a vision, you need optimism so that you can dream, set goals, and take faithful action. Optimism doesn't come from toxic positivity or the happiness illusion. It comes from your hope, which is in Christ. Trusting God's plan and standing on His promises, you can create a joyful life by embracing God's word!

FORTITUDE

You must persevere no matter how hard life gets. Never give up. The Bible says God's grace is sufficient for your circumstances. God's word explains why we have trials and tribulations: to grow in faith and share hope with others. The Bible guarantees that we will have trouble in this world. Without it, how would we practice faith? God prunes us so that we can be more fruitful. If you understand that life is seasonal and there are lessons for you to learn, you can create a joyful life by embracing God's word!

About Anna Szabo

I help women see themselves the way God sees them. My passion for ministry comes from experiencing adversity and receiving comfort from God. I want to comfort other women and help them heal. I am a survivor of chronic childhood abuse, two suicide attempts, rape, teen pregnancy, miscarriage at 17, alcoholism, sexual addiction, domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, divorce, depression, and homelessness.

I had a really tough life. There's no other way to put it. Many times, I didn't want to live at all. There was a hole in my heart until I met Jesus. And now I see how God uses all things together for good. I grew up in Russia and was raised by a family of alcoholics. I was beaten, bullied, and betrayed. Violence, poverty, confusion, and lack of wise counsel left me extremely traumatized. I always wondered who I was and why I was even born. In 2014, I invited Jesus into my heart, to be my personal Lord and Savior. God changed my life forever. He revealed to me my true identity and purpose.

I am an award-winning author, TEDx speaker, Christian poet, impasto artist, avid reader, plant-based vegan chef, host of The Anna Szabo Show Christian podcast, and an aspired YouTuber with a burning desire to encourage and empower women so that they can persevere through adversity with faith and fortitude. Everyone's life sometimes rocks and sometimes sucks. Yet, life is worth living.

That is why in 2017 I founded Online Discipleship For Women, a Christian ministry dedicated to helping alleviate suicide among women globally by sharing hope in Christ. I live a single and celibate life serving God with all my heart and might. Don't look for me on Facebook or Instagram: I am not on any social media, except YouTube. The content of my YouTube, website, and podcast is focused on the six pillars of joyful living - faith, food, fitness, finances, felicity, and fortitude - with the ultimate goal of embracing God's word as it relates to every aspect of our being.

Christian Discipleship

Matthew 18:20 says this: "For where two or three gather in my name, there I am with them."

I was not raised in church. In fact, I struggled with sexual addiction for years, but in 2014, I gave my life to Jesus. I believe that being in God’s Word daily is the key to joy and peace. Christian discipleship is a pursuit of God's truth. Intentional discipleship doesn't dismiss the human condition. My discipleship pathway took me from addiction and suicidal depression straight into God's truth and purpose. Being in the Word while going through severe depression and debilitating suicidal thoughts in 2016 and 2017, I was able to get through adversity by focusing on Jesus and God’s eternal promises.

That’s why I created Online Discipleship For Women. My mission is to alleviate suicide among women globally by sharing hope in Christ. Help me spread this message!
