Many people have pain and wounds they don't talk about. Fear and shame create a cycle of isolation and hopelessness. But the Bible is light to these dark places.

After suffering decades of abuse of all kinds, Paula found herself as a single mom in a new city, jobless, with three young boys to homeschool. In these circumstances, she heard God's call to start a ministry helping people still caught in the darkness of brokenness and shame. Bloom in the Dark started with real, raw stories of people who found hope and restoration in the gospel with the slogan, "Use the fertilizer of your past to bloom in your future."

The book turned into a TV show, Bloom Today, now syndicated around the world and on Amazon Prime. Paula's co-host and ministry partner, Ginny Priz, adds her own story of addiction and choices that turned into painful and embarrassing consequences.

Together, Paula, Ginny, and their team of counselors, life coaches, pastors, and more, share the good news that there is no pit too deep in your life to experience freedom, joy, and abundant life in Christ.
