SPILLIN' THE T WITH PAULA & EMMA

What happens when life takes you places you never expected—and your faith is tested in ways you never imagined?

In this powerful episode, Paula and Emma sit down with Solmaz Chadwell, wife of Liberty University head football coach Jamie Chadwell, for an unforgettable conversation about faith, family, sacrifices and trusting God through life’s most difficult seasons.

At just 3 years old, Solmaz and her family risked everything to escape Iran, eventually making their way to America. She shares their incredible journey, how her family came to know Jesus, and how God was working in her life long before she even realized it.

Solmaz also opens up about marriage, motherhood, and the sacrifices and blessings of being a college football coach’s wife. From unexpected moves to navigating life’s toughest seasons, she’s learned what it truly means to surrender and trust God’s plan.

And when her husband faced a serious health crisis last year, Solmaz found herself leaning on God’s Word like never before—literally covering her husband’s hospital room with Scripture and standing on His promises through one of their most difficult battles. 

From escaping Iran to navigating marriage, unexpected changes, and heartbreaking trials, Solmaz’s testimony is a beautiful reminder that God is faithful in EVERY season.

Whether you’re facing uncertainty, fighting for your marriage, walking through a health crisis, or simply learning to trust God with your future, this conversation will encourage you to keep believing, keep praying, and keep standing on God’s promises!

We are especially excited about this episode because our guest Amelia—also known as A Girl With Jesus—is someone Emma has admired and looked up to for quite some time.

Amelia is a Christian content creator and social media influencer who has built a community of more than 330,000 followers on Instagram and 270,000 followers on TikTok. Through her platform, she openly shares about Jesus, relationships, marriage, identity, and what it looks like to live out your faith every day.

In this episode, we sit down with Amelia and her mom, Stephanie, for an honest and encouraging conversation about finding your identity in Christ in a world filled with comparison, opinions, likes and followers.

Amelia shares how she came to know Jesus, how she began creating Christian content, what it’s like to have such a large platform at a young age, and how she has learned to stay grounded in who God says she is. We also talk about relationships, marrying young, navigating other people’s opinions, and using social media as a platform for ministry. 

Then Stephanie joins the conversation from a mom’s perspective, and we talk about raising children in the age of social media, setting healthy boundaries, protecting our kids while still giving them room to grow, and allowing them to learn how to navigate social media with the guidance of their parents.

Whether you’re a young woman trying to figure out who you are, a parent or grandparent helping the next generation navigate today’s culture, or simply someone who wants to live more boldly for Jesus, we hope this conversation reminds you of one important truth:  Your identity isn’t found in your followers, your appearance, other people’s opinions, or the world’s approval. Your identity is found in Christ.

We loved this episode with Amelia and Stephanie, and we know you will too! Help us share this important message by subscribing, liking and sharing! Thanks for your support! Until next time… Paula and Emma

We’re kicking off Season 2 with a powerful story of faith, forgiveness, and hope after the unthinkable.

Twenty years ago, the Barrick family’s lives changed in an instant when they were hit head-on by a drunk driver. Andy, Linda, and their daughter Jen and son Josh were all injured and airlifted & driven to three different hospitals. Andy and Linda faced multiple surgeries and months in wheelchairs, while Jen remained in a coma for weeks and suffered a traumatic brain injury that would forever change her life.

But their story didn’t end with tragedy.

In this episode, Linda and Jen Barrick join us to share how God met their family in the darkest season of their lives, carried them through unimaginable pain, and brought purpose from their brokenness. They talk about Jen’s remarkable journey, the decision to forgive the drunk driver who caused the accident, and how God has used their story over the past 20 years to bring hope to countless others.

Linda and Jen also share what it looks like to trust God when life doesn’t turn out the way you planned—and how you can still experience joy, purpose, and the faithfulness of God even when your circumstances may never be what they once were.

Through their ministry, Hope Out Loud, the Barrick family continues to remind others that tragedy does not have to have the final word. There is always hope in Jesus.

Whether you’re walking through grief, disappointment, uncertainty, or a situation you never imagined you would face, we pray this conversation reminds you that God is still working, He is still faithful, and He can bring beauty and purpose even from the hardest places.

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! His grace transforms lives, His faithfulness never fails, and the hope found in Him is worth sharing until we take our final breath! Thank you for joining us throughout Season 1. We pray these conversations have encouraged your faith, strengthened your walk with the Lord, and reminded you that no matter what season you’re in, God is faithful!
