Addicted. Abandoned. Alone.
That’s how Elizabeth Verver describes the lowest point of her life... until the moment God showed up and changed everything.

Elizabeth opens up about her journey from rejection, trauma, and addiction to a life completely transformed by God’s love. As a young girl, she watched her father drive away and never look back. By fifteen, she didn’t want to live anymore. Years of pain and hopelessness followed… until she heard God’s voice say, “You don’t really want to die; you just don’t want to feel like this.”

What happened next is a story of complete transformation that proves no one is too far gone for God to reach.
If you’ve ever felt unseen, unloved, or beyond repair, this episode will remind you that you are not powerless and that God still restores what’s been lost.

You’ll hear:

➡️ How God met Elizabeth in her darkest hour and rewrote her story
➡️ What it means to truly forgive those who’ve hurt you
➡️ How to find peace and purpose after trauma and addiction
➡️ Why no one is ever too broken for God to heal

My mother appeared after she died and told me, “Jesus is real.”
Those words changed everything for Deborah Kline-Iantorno. Raised in a Jewish home and educated in Catholic school, Deborah grew up hearing stories of her family’s Holocaust history. These stories left her wondering, how could God be real? 

After losing her daughter and later her mother, Deborah reached a breaking point of pain and disbelief, until one moment changed everything. Her mother appeared from heaven with a message that would transform her faith and her life forever.

Music has always been part of Deborah’s story and a universal language God used to heal her heart and open doors for her to share His love around the world.

If you’ve ever wondered if God and Jesus are real, if Heaven truly exists, or if faith can be restored after loss, this story will touch your heart in a deeply personal way.

How do you begin to overcome your rock bottom moment?
In this episode of The Peaceful Presence Podcast, Paula Douglas of Paula Douglas Ministries shares how she found peace, strength, and joy by letting God show her how to reset.

Paula opens up about a season when life grew quiet, and the pillars she once leaned on were all suddenly gone. She had to realize that no one was coming to rescue her, and it was just her and God. In that stillness, God spoke to her heart and whispered one word that changed everything: Reset.

Through her story, you’ll discover that real strength doesn’t come from what you do and all the busyness, but rather from God within. Paula reminds us that forward is the only direction we can go, and when we move forward with God, we can do it with peace, real strength, and joy.

The death of Charlie Kirk has left many asking, Why does death happen? Where is God when senseless violence strikes? In this episode, I share a faith-filled response to the tragedy, how moments of darkness test our trust in God, and why Scripture reminds us that “our light and momentary afflictions” are producing something greater. When evil tries to silence voices, faith can and will rise stronger.

I also reflect on personal sorrow in my own life, a time when prayers weren’t answered the way I hoped, and how I learned to trust that there is more beyond what we understand. 

My prayer is that this message encourages you to look beyond political division and discover how hope, unity, love, and God’s light always overcome darkness.
