What if the God you were taught to fear was never really God at all?    In this episode, Paula breaks down her journey from the fear-based religion of her upbringing to the empowering, love-centered God she knows today — with insights from psychology, neuroscience, and conscious creation.   She grew up believing in a God who terrified her — a jealous, punishing deity who held my twelve-year-old self accountable for every sin. Questions were blasphemy. Curiosity was dangerous. Fear was faith.   But then she discovered something radical: maybe the God she was taught to fear wasn’t God at all.   Listen closely as she opens up about her personal journey from “Old God” — the warden of rules, hellfire, and judgment — to “Now God,” the Divine Energy of love, intelligence, and creation.   By the end, she hopes you’ll ask yourself the same question she did: What kind of God do I want to believe in?
