We genuinely can't keep up with all of the job titles associated with preachers these days. But we can tell you that Paula White is a Pentecostal televangelist. What is a televangelist? You might be wondering. To be honest, we had to look up the term ourselves in order to figure it out. It's essentially just someone who communicates their Christianity through multi-media platforms, such as television and radio. When it comes to Paula White, she certainly has a following.
White didn't have an easy childhood. Her mother turned to alcoholism, which forced them and her brother into poverty. While under the watch of caretakers, White was sexually and physically abused between the ages of six and thirteen. She soon developed the eating disorder bulimia as a way to cope with the trauma of her childhood.
