Shakin' The Salt

Shakin' The Salt

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.

Everyone has occasional disagreements with someone. But when it’s your spouse you must learn how to quickly resolve the issue – even if you are total “opposites.” Besides, making up is much more fun!

My sweet grandmother spent over 60 years attending church alone each week until my “womanizing” grandfather at 83 decided at a funeral, he wanted a “Graduation Celebration” just like this one. But my brother, the Minister, told him he couldn’t because he didn’t know if he was going to Heaven or not!

    Love Trapped

    Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026. If you would like to reach out to the Love Trapped team, email us at lovetrappedpod@gmail.com and follow along on Instagram @glasspodcasts.
