  2. Michael W. Smith - Lessons From His Father

    Michael W. Smith - Lessons From His Father

    With Father's Day this Sunday, this is your official reminder- it's not too late to send a gift! Honoring the dads, granddads, and father figures in our lives is a great way to not only acknowledge them but also to give a nod to God for placing them in our lives.  I know that Father's Day can be a mixed bag. Not everyone grew up with a kind, loving dad in their lives. There are many dads themselves who struggle with regret or heartbreak because of the broken relationships they have with their own kids.  Regardless, this week is an invitation to lean into whatever you need to. It's a reminder that the story with your dad or as a dad isn't finished yet, there's still more to be learned, or still more to be grieved. So let the conversation I have with Michael W. Smith about his latest book be a guide to the reflection work you need to do.  Michael W. Smith, a multi-platinum recording artist, has won three Grammy Awards, forty-five Dove Awards, an American Music Award, and has sold more than fifteen million albums. He has also given back to the global community, having raised funds to battle AIDS in Africa alongside U2’s Bono; started Rocketown, a safe haven for young people in Tennessee to meet and find hope; and has helped to improve more than 83,000 children’s lives through Compassion International. With a career spanning more than four decades, Smith has also starred in two films and written fourteen books, including his newest The Way of the Father: Lessons from My Dad, Truths about God. He lives with his wife, Debbie, in Franklin, Tennessee. They have five adult children and sixteen grandchildren.

    Happy Hour #394: Michael W. Smith

    My guest for The Happy Hour #394 is Michael W. Smith! Michael W. Smith is a multi-platinum recording artist, has won 3 Grammy Awards, 45 Dove Awards, an American Music Award, and has sold more than 15 million albums. He has also given back to the global community in so many ways, including through Compassion International! He recently released his first book on fatherhood, The Way of the Father! Y’all, I feel like such a fangirl having Michael W. Smith on the podcast and I’m not mad about it. In this episode, Michael really dives into the message of his new book, which is inspired by his relationship with his late father. Michael shares about how he was raised by parents who loved the Lord, and yet he went through a season of completely walking away from him. After experiencing a near drug overdose in 1978, Michael’s dad was there for him, loving him, and pointing him towards his Healer. Michael truly had such a special relationship with his father, a man who always gave himself to love others. I love when Michael says "Some of the happiest people I know are the ones who give themselves away.” What a beautiful picture of the Gospel. Do NOT miss this episode and don’t miss all the fun things Michael has coming up in the next few months!!

    Michael W. Smith: Life Beyond Your Struggles

    Visit donate.accessmore.com and give today to help fund more episodes and shows like this. Our month of honoring Dad’s wraps up with singer, songwriter, and author Michael W. Smith, who joins Paula and her sister, Diane, for an empowering episode. The GRAMMY Award winning artist opens up about his struggle with addiction, early in his career, including the night he hit rock bottom and nearly died. He talks about the moment he realized, at a young age, that his calling was to pursue a career in music instead of following in the athletic footsteps of his father, who was a Minor League Baseball player. Smith released his 15th book this year titled, “The Way of the Father: Lessons from my Dad, Truths about God” which he dedicated to his late father. He also talks about freedom of forgiveness, the power of a great mentor, and the one song that he will spend the rest of his life singing. “One day I thought, ‘oh I could try this. I could play with fire and not get burned.’ And that’s where the deception comes in.”  For more on Michael W.
