EP 121: Pamela Long Unmasked on Halftime Chat
Join us live as Pamela Long, formerly of Total, returns to Halftime Chat to discuss her new autobiography and all things music. When you've lied so much to yourself and others, tucked and gotten away with innumerous counts of deception, it's almost impossible to identify what's truthful anymore. But when God steps in and says enough and pulls back the covers on your mess, there is nothing you can do. Who would have ever thought the golden girl was nothing but a lump of rotten wood? After the shock, shame, disbelief, and fear that incarcerated my life, what do I choose? I can either submit to God and live or continue in my mess and die.
