About Living On Purpose In Christ | Bible Study, Biblical Encouragement, Feeling and Feelings, Aroma Freedom (AFT), Essential Oils, Devotions
From the publisher's feed
Feeling stretched thin, stuck in old hurts, or unsure what God is calling you to next? You're in the right place. Living on Purpose In Christ is a Christian Bible study and devotional…
podcast for women who want to know God's Word, find freedom from what's been holding them back, and live the life God designed for them, one short, encouraging episode at a time.
I'm Paula Behrens. After 21 years leading local churches as an ordained United Methodist pastor, I now spend my days as a Christian life coach and Certified Aroma Freedom Technique (AFT) Practitioner, helping women grow in faith and walk in freedom. I'm grateful that Living on Purpose In Christ is ranked in the top 5% of Christianity podcasts worldwide.
BOOK-BY-BOOK BIBLE STUDY
Together we've studied every book of the New Testament, from Matthew to Revelation, and now we're walking through the Old Testament, starting with Genesis and Exodus. Each study is clear, practical, and short enough for busy women. Printable Bible studies with leader's guides are available for your personal devotions or small group.
FAITH FOR REAL LIFE
We also talk about:
- Hearing God's voice and discovering your purpose and calling
- Emotional healing: letting go of past hurts, anxiety, worry, and emotional chaos
- Positive affirmations and Scripture-based truth statements
- Faith at work: Christian business, entrepreneurship, and your work as ministry
- Parenting, grandparenting, and passing on a spiritual legacy
- Marriage and faith, including when your spouse doesn't share your faith
- Spiritual disciplines: prayer, journaling, fasting, Sabbath rest, and quiet time
ESSENTIAL OILS AND THE BIBLE
Scripture is full of fragrant oils: aloes (sandalwood), cassia, cedarwood, cypress, frankincense, hyssop, myrrh, myrtle, onycha, and Rose of Sharon (cistus). I love exploring these oils of ancient Scripture and how aroma can deepen your prayer life and devotions. I also share Christian aromatherapy practices and simple, natural living swaps grounded in faith.
Grab your coffee (or your favorite oil), open your Bible, and come as you are.
Whether you're brand new to Scripture or have led Bible studies for years, there's a seat for you here. Find printable Bible studies and leader's guides, book a Christian coaching session, or join an upcoming Zoom class at PaulaBehrens.com.
"Now to Him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen" ~ Ephesians 3:20–21
You are truly loved!
