EP 66 - DeVon Franklin: Staying True to Your Convictions, Accepting What You Can't Reconcile and Honoring Your Spiritual Teachers

What happens if at first glance your convictions don’t align – at all – with the industry you’ve been called to? If you’re this week’s guest, you boldly stand firm, follow God’s lead and find out it’s not only possible to survive, but thrive… all while keeping the Sabbath! This week Paula is talking to award-winning film and TV producer, New York Times best-selling author and someone Oprah calls “a different kind of spiritual teacher for our times” – DeVon Franklin.  With over two successful decades in Hollywood under his belt and plenty of “God nods” along the way, hear what DeVon calls his biggest ongoing struggle and how he combats it daily. He opens up to Paula about the early loss of his dad. Hear why it led him to find belonging in the industry and how he’s learned to embrace acceptance in the absence of reconciliation. And, with the release of his dynamic new Audible book, “It Takes A Woman”, DeVon tells Paula why he felt called to pay tribute to the spiritual leaders in his life – his beloved mom and aunts – and how their "village of love" shaped him into the man he is today.
