When one is obedient to God’s calling – and lives under His guidance, He will bring success. He amazes us daily with His grace, and we give Him all the glory.
2 Peter 1:10: “Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, 11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
Who is Amanda Pool?
A Life Shaped by Faith and the Written Word
She is a born-again Jesus follower, wife to Johan, mother of eight, and grandmother of four.
Born in Robertson in the Western Cape, Amanda spent 33 years in a fulfilling corporate career at Sanlam. Those years shaped her with discipline, insight, and a deep appreciation for people and process.
After leaving corporate life, she entered a season of exploration, spending nearly ten years involved in various business ventures. These years added practical experience and broadened her understanding of leadership, service, and stewardship. Yet it was a life-changing encounter with God that ultimately and decisively redirected her path.
This encounter led Amanda into formal theological studies and the establishment of a Bible College that served as a platform for theological training, facilitation, and spiritual formation. For more than seven years, she walked alongside students, many of them active pastors, using established curricula to support their growth. During this time, she witnessed a deep transformation, not only in biblical knowledge, but in godly character and spiritual maturity.
As the Bible School approached the end of its season, another chapter quietly began to unfold. Amanda sensed a clear shift: a call to slow down, to spend more intentional time in God’s presence, and to engage deeply with Scripture itself.
In this new season, she continues to write her own books and create content for her radio programme, while also translating these reflections into shorter weekly blogs shared through her personal platforms and social media. Her focus has moved from structured student programmes to mentoring and serving others, especially fellow writers, researchers, and faith-based voices through editorial and publishing support.
She finds deep joy in helping others express what God has placed in their hearts with clarity, accuracy, and faithfulness to the Word of God.
Another new season God has graciously opened, marked by a different way of discipling (Matt 28:19–20): mentoring others as sent by the Holy Spirit, and supporting writers through editorial discernment and publishing.
Always to honour and glorify her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
“Someone, somewhere, is waiting on you to do what God has called you to.”
Based on Matthew 28:19–20 — equipping God's people to share what He has entrusted to them.
