Paul Greene, beloved star of Hallmark Movies and YouTube musician, and fan favorite across dozens of films and TV shows, sits down for one of the most personal conversations of his career — about his faith, fear, where his music and creativity come from, and the spiritual life behind the famous smile. Paul joins Ariane for this episode of The Spirit Collective, where he answers questions about his spirituality, personal growth, and the inner journey behind decades of fame in a way no red carpet interview ever could. From deeply Christian roots in small-town Alberta to Hollywood, fatherhood, and an incredible daily practice that starts before his feet hit the floor — this is Paul Greene as you have never heard him before.
What We Cover:
+ Growing up Pentecostal — and how love for Jesus survived the fire-and-brimstone
+ The dinner conversation that sparked a decade-long rebuilding of faith
+ Moving from a fear-based relationship with God to one rooted entirely in love
+ Presence as a spiritual practice — being truly there for the people in front of you
+ A daily gratitude practice that starts before his feet hit the floor
Raising a child with tradition, story, and wonder — without the fear
+ Why spirituality and creativity are, for Paul, the same thing
+ 750 audition rejections and learning to stop making things mean something
+ Living in a friendly universe — and why that decision changes everything
+ Why making life about others is the most spiritual thing he knows
About Paul Greene:
Paul Greene is an actor, musician, model, health coach, and author whose life is anchored by four pillars: family, fitness, faith, and fun.
Raised on a farm in Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Paul's work ethic and sincerity were shaped long before Hollywood. You may know him from the Hallmark Channel — often called the "Cary Grant of Hallmark" — or from his role on When Calls the Heart. But behind the romantic lead is a man who has survived profound loss, navigated deep spiritual questioning, and come out the other side with a life built on service and presence.
After losing his father to ALS, Paul committed himself to raising funds and awareness for the disease. During the 2020 pandemic, he performed over 500 live shows to keep people connected and spirits high. He is currently writing 52 Ways To Be the Dad You Wish You Had, a guide born from his love for his children and a desire to help other fathers lead with heart.
He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Kate Austin, and their son Austin.
