  • Gods. Gift to me!

    Sharla has spoken through this podcast to me (my heart) SO many times and has said exactly what I needed to hear. Can’t be coincidence. I thank the Lord for her and her incredible ministry to us women. She’s spoken to me in my most broke down moments by piercing me with Gods truth. Sharla, Gods using you in mighty ways…thank you sis!

However, I first became aware of Sharla through The Society and I loved her knowledge of the Bible and how she effectively shares her knowledge in an understandable and authentic way. Since then, I have downloaded the Rx for Purpose app and signed up for her newsletter and she continues to do a good job relating to me and sharing the Word of GOD! Again, I haven’t listened to the podcast yet (which I haven’t really listened to any podcasts ... more
