About this episode

Discover the way ahead at Indiana Wesleyan University. Learn more here.



Singer, songwriter Chris Tomlin sits down with Paula to talk about the unexpected crossroads that changed his life, from facing his fear of giving up on being a doctor and following his passion to become a musician, to becoming a father again at the age of 48. The GRAMMY award winner shares the advice that gave him the courage to press into his fears, and step out in faith, and what he would tell others who are in the same position. He also explains, what he calls, one of the greatest moments in his music career and how it lead to an album born out of friendship: “Chris Tomlin & Friends.”

Listen to his latest single, “God Who Listens” feat. Thomas Rhett
