BONUS - Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson: The Stars of "Father Stu" on Faith, Calling and Flipping the Script

This week Paula is excited to bring you a bonus edition of “Faith & Calling” featuring two titans of the entertainment industry who beyond their shared calling also happen to be men of deep faith. Mark Wahlburg and Mel Gibson join Paula for a spirited conversation about their latest project, exclusively in theaters this Easter. “Father Stu” is the real-life story of a bad boy boxer who finds renewed purpose in the calling to become a priest, with Gibson and Wahlberg starring as father and son. Hear why Wahlberg was so moved by the story that he broke the cardinal rule of filmmaking by financing the film with his own money. Find out why this passion project is also paving the way for a new genre of movies. It’s honest, funny and ultimately uplifting – but it’s also gritty and R-rated, intentionally not preaching to the choir like a stereotypical faith-based film and the guys tell Paula why. Moving to life beyond the screen, both Wahlberg and Gibson share with Paula what their deep faith means to them today – and what each feels called to in this season ahead. And another bonus this week: not only is this a special and extraordinary bonus episode, but for the very first time an episode of “Faith & Calling” is being released in video form too on AccessMore https://www.accessmore.com/pd/The-Paula-Faris-Faith--Calling-Podcast-VIDEO | and Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-paula-faris-faith-calling-podcast-video/id1618348885 Watch the trailer and find tickets to Father Stu here: https://www.fatherstumovie.com/ Learn more about Paula’s new company CARRY Media™ and sign up for CARRY™ ALL, an essential weekly newsletter for the working mom that drops every Sunday! https://carrymedia.com/ Follow along with CARRY Media on social media: @carry_media https://www.instagram.com/carry_media/ Connect with Paula & share what you are feeling called to in this season of your life: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/paulafaris/ | Twitter https://twitter.com/paulafaris | Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100044190561281 Sign up for Paula’s new and improved newsletter to get a message from her every two weeks. https://www.paulafarisofficial.com/ Order Paula’s Book - “Called Out: Why I Traded Two Dream Jobs for a Life of True Calling” https://www.paulafarisofficial.com/book Subscribe & Listen to more episodes of the Podcast: AccessMore https://www.accessmore.com/pd/The-Paula-Faris-Podcast | Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/3pIpW8EsTMBTT2lcRt6d8b?si=_5mPRvL-SwKVBv15q6lx4g&nd=1 | Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-paula-faris-faith-calling-podcast/id1550996910 Subscribe & Watch more episodes like this on AccessMore https://www.accessmore.com/pd/The-Paula-Faris-Faith--Calling-Podcast-VIDEO | Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-paula-faris-faith-calling-podcast-video/id1618348885
