This week’s episode of “Faith & Calling” has been over a year in the making – and it was well worth the wait. Paula is one-on-one with the one-and-only Tyler Perry!

You know Tyler as one of the most influential men in entertainment today. He’s a living legend with an accomplished career as a writer, actor, producer, director and the owner of Tyler Perry Studios, the largest production facility in the country. 

But what you may not know is that behind the giant success of Tyler’s media empire is one jaw-dropping life story. In this episode, Tyler tells Paula about the highs and lows of a life both scarred by abuse and saved by grace.

Learn the pivotal piece of advice he picked up from "The Oprah Winfrey Show" as a young person that would heal his pain and reveal his purpose. Hear how his path from broke to billionaire was paved by hearing the audible voice of God and having an enduring faith, which he defines as “getting up to try again.” Get his best advice, as a self-taught creator, for anyone doubting they have the right experience for the calling on their heart. And discover the tried and true Bible verse he turns to when it comes to working for his dreams. Hint: it’s no shortcut. 

From dead ends to dreaming bigger, Tyler is one of the hardest working and most successful storytellers in Hollywood, with dozens of feature films, stage plays, and tv shows credited to his name – including his most famous character, Madea, who is back for “A Madea Homecoming” on NETFLIX! Paula gets the scoop on what the pandemic had to do with everybody’s favorite grandma coming out of retirement, plus what Tyler’s next big project is – and why it’s been 26 years in the making! 

“To whom much is given, much is expected” and Tyler’s life is a testament to what striving to be faithful in all circumstances looks like. If you’re looking for the encouragement to put in the work, challenge the norm, embrace the valleys and keep persevering with whatever lies before you – then consider this special conversation an open floodgate of faith and fortitude from the wildly talented Tyler Perry.
