Shakin' The Salt
Television/radio host and author Dr. Debra Peppers, shares how she overcame her own personal struggles of being 100 pounds overweight, depressed, and even suicidal, so that you too can be equipped and prepared to receive God‘s love, forgiveness, strength, and joy for living each day. Learn how you can apply God‘s word to change areas in your life, face the unknown trials of each day and be equipped for the great future that God has for you. Debra uses her life examples, sprinkled with humor, of being a high school dropout to PhD to Teacher of the Year and from Hall of Shame to Hall of Fame. Life is short and it’s time for you to have joy for your journey.
