To wrap up Season 1, Paula and Emma take a look back at all God has done through this incredible season and celebrate a very special milestone—40 years of Paula’s ministry! In this season finale, Emma interviews her mom, Paula, about her four decades of singing, speaking, and sharing the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. Together, they talk about how God first called Paula into ministry, the lessons He has taught her throughout the years, and the countless ways He has proven His faithfulness time and time again. They discuss the doors that only God could open, seasons of uncertainty and discouragement, and the unforgettable moments that have strengthened her faith. Paula shares real stories from the road, powerful encounters with God’s presence, funny host-home memories, and what it has been like having Emma join her in ministry. They also talk about how to stay spiritually grounded after 40 years of serving the Lord, what God is teaching her right now, and the encouragement she would offer to anyone who feels called into ministry—or anyone who is weary, discouraged, or ready to give up. Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that the message is still the same: Jesus Saves!
