Have you or someone you know ever received “that phone call” from a doctor? In today’s new podcast episode, Dr. Paula shares how, at age 43, this phone call would send her on a journey to ask herself hard questions, discover God deeply, and claim her true identity in Him.
The production unfolded with a beautiful reminder to keep your eyes on Christ. And then the chapter ended with the drama of the smoke-filled temple just as the final curtain call is about to begin right here in Chapter16. And tonight, the stage is set for the finale of God’s judgment.

This is a special episode, an urgent message from Dr. Paula on “The Awakening Code,” based on Revelation 11:11.
As children, most of us heard the saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” On the contrary, words can cause hurt; in fact, God’s word tells us that with the tongue we “speak life or death.” (Proverbs 18:21) But did you know that speaking negative, harmful, hateful words can even have a destructive effect on the body? Not just your body, but of those around you?
It’s inevitable that we will experience brokenness and pain in this life. How do we put the pieces back together? For starters, a state of brokenness doesn’t have to mean things have to remain that way. As believers, we have the power of Jesus Christ in us and with His help, we can move from brokenness to wholeness.
