Summary

Paula jumps back into a brand new season of “Faith & Calling” with a powerful conversation from a raw and rugged place where the unrelenting pain of loss intersects with the unending goodness of God. Her guest this week, TobyMac – the seven-time GRAMMY winner, contemporary Christian singer, rapper, songwriter and former DC Talk member, knows these crossroads of heartache intimately. He’s spent the last several years privately grieving the tragic loss of his 21-year-old son, Truett, in 2019. In this episode TobyMac opens up about the deep anguish that’s changed him forever and the deeper experience of God’s goodness that’s been keeping him afloat. Hear how he poured this powerful testimony into his new album, “Life After Death”, which includes major collaborations with the likes of Sheryl Crow – a surprising friendship born, as he tells Paula, from outside the music industry. TobyMac and Paula also discuss what he’s clinging to as time marches on, his advice for other parents struggling with the loss of a child and his hope-filled belief on why we all go through the painful places at one time or another in this life.
