Summary

This week’s episode of “Faith & Calling” is special for SO many reasons. This conversation is dropping on the day after Valentine’s Day and marks the third anniversary of the Heaven homecoming for Paula’s beloved dad. With love, loss and legacy being front of mind, Paula invites her adorable mom, Carol, and adoring husband, John, to join her for a memorable heart-to-heart-to-heart. With Carol’s 53 years of marriage and Paula and John’s shared 21, this episode is packed with 74 years of highs and lows of wedded wisdom – including the pivotal advice Carol received early in her marriage that she would pass on to Paula during a particularly rocky patch. To make things fun, Paula gave you, her lovely listeners, an opportunity to ask about anything - and you certainly understood the assignment. From dealing with loss to fun date nights to fears about moving to Paula’s most endearing (and not-so-endearing!) habits. It’s ALL in here, friends! We promise this episode will give you all the feels, from sentimental to silly. And don’t miss the most beautiful ending in “Faith & Calling” history. Paula’s mom is treating us to a special song on her ukelele - a belated valentine for you! Consider this chat an easy opportunity to widen your heart and your smile and be reminded that you are so, so loved.
