Living On Purpose In Christ | Biblical Boundaries, Devotional Routines, Spiritual Affirmations, Bible Study, AFT, Balance

Paula Behrens | Certified Aroma Freedom (AFT) Practitioner, Pastor, Christian Coach

Do you struggle to maintain regular spiritual practices in the midst of your hectic schedule? Do you long for consistent daily quiet time with God, but don't know how to make it a priority?

This podcast will help you establish a consistent spiritual routine, discover faith-based resources tailored to your unique journey, and allow faith to become a guiding force in your life, leading you to peace, balance, and a fulfilling sense of strength that will nurture a supportive and loving home environment.

Hey, I’m Paula, a grandma, pastor, and follower of Jesus, and I was once a new believer who struggled to maintain spiritual practices amidst my busy life — balancing a demanding work load, pursuing a full-time undergraduate degree at a Christian university, caring for my kiddos, and discerning my calling into ministry was no easy feat. My approach to prayer, journaling, and studying scripture lacked consistency and structure, making it challenging to truly deepen my relationship with God.

I finally realized that if I was going to be successful in my devotional life, I needed to prioritize my spiritual practices just as I would any other important commitment. I created a plan that fits ME — a simple, devotional routine that filled me with excitement and anticipation. A lifestyle that made connecting with God enjoyable, rewarding, and deeply meaningful. And I'm ready to share it with you!

Get the full episode here: 7 Steps for Speaking Truth with Love for Healthy Relationships

Have you ever struggled to speak your truth while maintaining love at the heart of your interactions? This soul-stirring episode tackles the challenging yet transformative journey of authentic self-expression through a faith lens.
Today I finally got up the nerve to share my personal story of being called to ministry while wrestling with feelings of inadequacy as a woman... LOL. Like Moses before the burning bush, I questioned my suitability based on societal expectations. Through scriptural study and divine guidance, I discovered that God's call transcends human limitations, drawing wisdom from biblical women like Deborah, Esther, and Priscilla who were pivotal in God's plan.
Drawing from Jesus' arrest in Gethsemane (John 18:1-11), we explore three essential components for speaking truth with love that can revolutionize your interactions: emotional expression, assertiveness, and independence. When Jesus boldly declared "I Am He" to his arresters while remaining surrendered to the Father's will, he modeled perfect truth-speaking. His example teaches us that expressing emotions honestly, standing firm in convictions, and embracing our authentic identity in Christ creates space for powerful, loving communication.
This episode offers more than theoretical concepts—it provides practical application through a weekly challenge to practice truth-speaking in your own life. By journaling your experience, you'll deepen your understanding of how God works through authentic expression. Whether you're navigating workplace challenges, relationship dynamics, or ministry callings, these principles will equip you to honor both truth and love in every conversation.
Ready to transform your self-expression and discover the freedom that comes from speaking truth with love? For a limited time, you're invited to book your complimentary 45-minute Aroma Freedom session via the link in the show notes. Start your journey toward authentic, Christ-centered communication today.

Get the full episode here: Moving Beyond the "Back to Egypt" Mentality

The road to freedom is rarely straight, and the journey from captivity to liberation involves more than just physical movement. Drawing from a powerful sermon that shaped my own transition from traditional pulpit ministry to podcasting during the pandemic, this episode explores how the Israelites' wilderness experience mirrors our spiritual journeys today.
When Moses led God's people out of Egyptian slavery, they quickly forgot the miracle of their deliverance and began grumbling about their circumstances. Within weeks, they were longing for the "pots of meat" they enjoyed in captivity, proving that physical freedom doesn't automatically create spiritual or mental freedom. God responded not with punishment but with grace, providing mysterious manna—literally "what is it?"—to sustain them daily. Yet what could have been a short journey to the Promised Land became a 40-year wandering because of their inability to trust God's plan.
Like the Israelites, we face similar crossroads in our spiritual lives. Will we remain in familiar patterns of thinking even when they no longer serve us? Or will we embrace God's invitation to transformation? As Robert Frost wrote, "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." The journey truly becomes what we make it through our choices, attitudes, and willingness to trust God's guidance. Whether you're navigating major life transitions or simply seeking to deepen your daily spiritual practices, this message offers timeless wisdom for finding your way through life's wilderness seasons with purpose and faith.

Get the full episode here: Finding Forgiveness: Biblical Wisdom

Faith often demands we cross our own personal Red Seas, standing between painful pasts and uncertain futures. Through powerful archaeological evidence and scriptural insights, this episode reveals how the ancient Israelites' literal journey across an impossible sea creates a profound metaphor for our spiritual crossings today.
Archaeological discoveries at Nuweiba Beach reveal a natural land bridge spanning approximately 11 miles across the Gulf of Aqaba, where researchers have found coral-encrusted chariot remains and memorial columns erected by King Solomon himself. These findings transform what many dismiss as mere allegory into potentially historical fact—God's deliverance made tangible.
The heart of this message centers on forgiveness as our modern Red Sea crossing. Just as the Israelites hesitated at the shoreline, we resist taking those first muddy steps toward healing. The beautiful bell ringer analogy illustrates how forgiveness works—when we choose to forgive, we release the rope, yet the emotional bell may continue its ding-dong for a while before finally falling silent. This gives us permission for imperfect healing journeys.
What paralyzes you today? What impossible waters stand between you and freedom? Remember the Israelites who discovered that divine intervention creates pathways where none existed before. God specializes in the impossible, making dry ground through mighty waters. Your deliverance awaits not in standing still, but in taking that first faithful step forward.

Get the full episode here: Soothe Your Soul - Natural Remedies for Stress

The weight of ministry can feel crushing—every congregation member's need resting on your shoulders, every spiritual crisis demanding your immediate attention. But what if God already provided natural remedies to help you manage this unique burden?
That's exactly what I discovered during COVID-19 while pastoring two East Texas congregations. When most churches remained closed, I felt called to reopen our doors after just seven weeks, knowing many members lacked internet access for virtual services. Guided by biblical wisdom, we diffused frankincense throughout our sanctuaries—the same essence Aaron used to halt a plague in Numbers 16—and employed immune-supporting oil blends to sanitize between services. The results were remarkable: everyone stayed healthy, and hospital visits plummeted during this challenging time.
In this episode we delve into how essential oils can transform clergy stress into renewed spiritual vigor. Lavender promotes restful sleep after those late-night emergency calls. Frankincense grounds your prayers and meditation. Bergamot lifts your spirits after difficult pastoral encounters, while Ylang-Ylang helps you release work thoughts at day's end. These aren't just pleasant scents—they're powerful tools created by God on the third day specifically to support our emotional and spiritual well-being.
Remember Jesus' words about the birds of the air? "They do not sow or reap, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" The same God who provides for these creatures has given us natural remedies for the unique challenges of ministry. By embracing these aromatic gifts, we experience the abundant life Christ promises while becoming more effective servants. Self-care isn't selfish—it's essential to sustainable ministry. Your congregation deserves a pastor who's grounded, present, and spiritually vibrant. Discover how God's natural remedies can help you become exactly that leader.

Have you ever achieved everything society says should make you happy, yet still felt an inexplicable emptiness? That was my reality—a beautiful home, loving family, successful career—and a persistent void that nothing could fill.
From being dropped off at church as a child to dropping off my own children years later, I believed adults should be self-sufficient, creating happiness through hard work and material success. That all changed one day at my desk when, feeling that familiar emptiness, I uttered a genuine prayer: "God, if you are really out there..." What followed was a heart transformation so profound I couldn't deny something beyond myself had occurred—my first real evidence that God existed.
The Freedom Formula explores how freedom in Christ liberates us from sin's bondage, legalism's constraints, and fear's paralysis. Through scriptural foundations like Galatians 5:1 and Romans 8:1, we discover that spiritual freedom isn't merely intellectual but carries profound implications for daily life—from approaching God without condemnation to loving others selflessly. We examine how embracing the mind of Christ develops character traits including love, compassion, humility, and servant leadership that reflect His nature in our lives.
My journey from church drop-off kid to ordained pastor took 121⁄2 years, but God remained present throughout, strengthening and carrying me when necessary. True fulfillment comes not from external achievements but from alignment with our Creator. Ready to discover how filling that God-shaped void in your heart can transform everything? Download our resources at faithbuildingclub.com and join us on this journey to authentic spiritual freedom.

Moses stood at a crossroads with the Israelites in the desert, wrestling with God's potential abandonment after their golden calf rebellion. What happened next reveals a profound truth about how we experience divine presence during our most uncertain moments.
This message explores a fascinating encounter where Moses, desperate for assurance, asks to see God's glory. Instead of revealing His face, God places Moses in a rock cleft, covers his eyes, and allows him only to see His "back" as He passes by. This metaphor beautifully captures how we often perceive God's presence in our lives—not through direct, face-to-face revelation, but through glimpses that provide just enough evidence to sustain our journey forward.
Like Moses, we face an unknown future. We can't return to our past, and life inevitably nudges us forward whether we feel ready or not. The comfort isn't that everything will proceed according to plan, but rather that God's presence will accompany us through whatever comes. I share the powerful story of an elderly gentleman who gave away his new shoes to a stranger in need, walking out onto cold pavement in old, cracked shoes with twine shoelaces—a living demonstration of how transformed lives reflect God's glory to others.
My transition from pulpit to podcast after retiring as a pastor parallels this message about finding new paths forward with God's presence. The question that remains for each listener is deeply personal: Does your life—your words, actions, and attitudes—reflect God's glory to those around you? Are you surrendered enough that others catch glimpses of divine presence through your everyday interactions? Take time today to reflect on how your life might better shine with that reflected glory.

Get the full episode here: The Unburnt Bush: Exploring Curiosity as a Path to God

Have you ever felt unqualified for what God is calling you to do? Drawing from the powerful story of Moses at the burning bush, this episode explores how God meets us in our doubts and hesitations, calling us by name into purpose despite our perceived limitations.
When Moses encountered the burning bush, he had every excuse ready: poor speaking skills, advanced age, lack of credentials, and even a violent past. Sound familiar? We often focus on our inadequacies rather than God's sufficiency. Yet the transformative power in Moses' story wasn't his qualifications but God's simple promise: "I will be with you." That same promise extends to us today.
The revelation of God's name—"I AM who I AM"—becomes a thread woven throughout scripture, later expanded through Jesus' seven "I AM" statements addressing our deepest human needs. For those feeling lost, Jesus says "I am the light." For those wondering about eternity, "I am the resurrection and the life." For every human struggle, God's presence offers the answer.
Perhaps most beautifully, we discover that holy ground isn't limited to burning bushes in distant deserts. Wherever God is present—in our daily commutes, family dinners, or quiet moments alone—we stand on holy ground. Your everyday life becomes sacred space when viewed through this lens of divine presence.

Water from a rock—it seems impossible until you're desperate enough to believe. This soul-stirring episode takes us on a journey through the parched wilderness with Moses and the Israelites, revealing profound truths about our own spiritual thirsts that often go unquenched.
Beginning with an engaging story about a failing drugstore in South Dakota revitalized by simply offering free ice water to weary travelers, Paula draws us into a deeper consideration of what we truly thirst for. Are we merely seeking physical sustenance, or are we longing for something more profound—true friendship, purpose, meaning, or perhaps a connection with the divine?
Through a careful examination of how God provided water from a rock for the complaining Israelites, Paula unpacks the beautiful intertwining of God's practical and spiritual provision. Rather than seeing these as separate categories, she reveals how God's care extends to both our tangible needs and our deepest soul-longings. "Don't let God be too small in your estimation," she cautions, reminding us that the waters God offers can quench every type of thirst we dare to have.
This message speaks directly to those feeling caught between redemption and final salvation—those wandering in personal deserts of doubt, fear, or spiritual dryness. When all you see is rock, God invites you to look deeper and discover the living water that can flow even from the most unlikely sources. Whether you're struggling with consistency in spiritual practices or seeking to deepen your faith journey, this episode offers refreshment for your parched soul and practical wisdom for trusting God in every season.
