Summary

The 80’s called with one of their biggest heartthrobs on the line! Husband, father, actor and filmmaker, Kirk Cameron, joins Paula for a totally fun and genuine conversation about child stardom, finding faith and the inner prankster that leaves you wondering where the Growing Pains’ Mike Seaver stops and this real life troublemaker big brother begins!
