From the choir of an Oklahoma church, all the way to the bright lights of Broadway, this week’s episode will have your soul singing! Paula’s guest is the incomparable Kristin Chenoweth, whom we know and love as the Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress and singer whose rendition of “Glinda” put the mega-hit musical “Wicked” on the map.

As a child prodigy, Kristin knew her calling well before she knew how to drive. She tells Paula how her parents, who were both engineers and very into athletics (Read: not theater types) helped their daughter discover and navigate her extreme giftedness at a young age, and why she says choosing a normal childhood in lieu of early stardom was the best path for her. Hear about her big break in New York and the lessons she’s learned about giving up a sure thing for a long shot, all while discovering nothing is wasted in God’s economy.

Kristin’s latest project (out today!) is a whimsical children’s book called “What Will I Do with My Love Today”. As a child of adoption, hear why the message of the book resonates so deeply with her and how she lives it out in her everyday life. Don’t miss the best advice her Auntie G gave her years ago that’s carried her through these turbulent days we’re all living in.

It’s been a banner year for the Broadway icon, who is also planning a wedding with her fiance, musician Josh Bryant. She tells Paula all about their first date at the Waffle House. Learn the beautiful meaning behind her engagement ring and why she says she’s no longer a “runaway bride.” Paula does her best to squeeze out wedding plan details. So did the Waffle House make the shortlist for the venue? Disclaimer: This episode was not sponsored by the Waffle House but maybe it should be… IYKYK!
