Paula was born in El Paso, Texas, and raised in Lubbock, Texas, until the age of 17. Paula comes from a cattle ranching family. She understands simple, honest, and the importance of your word. She was given up as a child, and adopted into a family where the father grew to resent her. Her adopted father was an atheist and very abusive. She was made to feel unwanted and unloved by her father. After leaving at the age of 16, Paula found herself in a downward spiral. She tried to take her life three times. Do to the rejection and abuse from her father she turned to drugs and alcohol to make the pain go away. This lasted for 13 years of her life. All this time, she was trying to fill the void in her life and make the pain stop.
Paula now serves as an Evangelist/Pastor to people of all walks of life. She travels throughout the United States bringing a message of hope to the hurting. She has connected with many people about difficult subjects including drug and alcohol addiction, personal rejection, rape, suicide attempts, physical and emotional abuse, and the dangers of approval addiction. Paula is passionate about teaching the true Word of God and how the Holy Spirit is here to empower each of us, so that we can walk in the fullest of God 's call.

In August 2016, Christina found herself unemployed and depressed. After finishing graduate school, getting married, and moving to Florida – the dust had settled, and now there was nothing left to distract her from her diagnosis.
One day, while listening to the radio, a woman explained that when we feel lost or stuck, that’s when God is strategically positioning us to do something greater. The idea of Being Positioned immediately shifted Christina’s perspective. From that day on, she discovered a new hope and a sense of purpose. She knew that her biggest struggles would soon turn into her greatest gifts. And that no matter how much she had to suffer, something good was going to come from her condition.
Regardless of religious beliefs, the idea of Being Positioned can offer hope for everyone. No matter what you’re facing right now, you have a purpose and good things can come from your suffering.
Christina and her husband, Cardin are the founders of: beingpositioned.org

Marnie is a life-long follower of Jesus Christ. She has faced many internal and external battles growing up that would lead many to question God's goodness. However, those challenges inspired her to pursue God on a deeper level. Marnie has also experienced the full dependence and stretching of God as she's had to relocate her family several times into areas thousands of miles apart from family and friends. It is during those times that God sent continuous reminders of His love and protection.
Marnie has a beautiful family of four and resides in the Houston, Texas area.
Audiences enjoy Marnie's animated sense of humor and confidence while also learning how to overcome 'real life' struggles and challenge
