Ep 77 - Tauren Wells: Laying Down Your Dreams, Success After Surrender and The High Notes of Fatherhood


Listen Later

This week Paula is one-on-one with Platinum-selling recording artist and songwriter, Tauren Wells for a conversation all about the wonders of music, marriage and fatherhood. There’s a pretty big chance you know and love Tauren’s music… because his songs, like “Hills and Valleys” and “Until Grace,” have over 1 BILLION global streams to date – and counting! One might assume this celebrated artist must have muscled his way to the top, but Tauren’s story is one of true success found on the other side of total surrender. 

In this conversation, the two Michiganders discuss Tauren’s early exposure to music in the wake of his parents’ divorce, thanks to a church choir and the ongoing encouragement of his youth pastor. Hear how music would continue to show up in every season of his early life, leading him to eventually start a band. While his love of singing and writing music never waned, Tauren tells Paula how he was led to step away from the band and made peace with seeing music as simply a hobby… and that was the moment everything changed. If you’re in a season of whiteknucking your dreams, you’ve come to the right place for wisdom, perspective and a little relief. Get ready to leave this one on a high note!
