In this episode of the PCA Alumni Podcast, we visit with Jenna Paulette — a rising star in the country music world and proud Prestonwood Christian Academy. Jenna opens up about her unique journey from growing up in North Texas, and working on her family's ranch, to taking the Nashville music scene by storm with her authentic cowgirl-country sound. She shares how her roots at PCA, faith in God, and strong family values laid the foundation for her identity both on and off the stage. Jenna reflects on how the PCA helped shape her both spiritually and creatively, laying a strong foundation for the woman and artist she is today. She opens up about the pivotal moments in her journey, the personal sacrifices she's made in pursuit of her dream, and the challenges she's faced while navigating the music industry. With honesty and heart, Jenna shares her thoughts on what it means to balance faith, fame, and authenticity in a world that often pulls in different directions. She also speaks to the importance of trusting God’s timing — even when the path forward feels uncertain.

Jenna is set to embark on her first headlining tour, the "Horseback Acoustic Tour," beginning April 10, 2025, in Castroville, Texas. This six-date tour will bring her authentic country sound to intimate venues across Texas and Oklahoma, including stops in Belton, Edmond, Conroe, Bluff Dale, and concluding in Paris on April 18.

   Chelsea (Cunningham) Paterson (2009)

   Check out the PCA YouTube page if you’d like to watch this podcast. In this episode of the Lions Leaving Legacies Podcast, we sit down with Chelsea Cunningham Paterson, Class of 2009, to hear her incredible story of faith and the lasting impact of a Christ-centered education. Chelsea shares how she first learned about Prestonwood Christian Academy through friends at church, how receiving Sponsor-A-Lion tuition assistance shaped her journey, and why she and her husband are committed to providing the same Kingdom Education for their children. She reflects on the invaluable lessons PCA instilled in her, from guarding her heart and mind to confidently standing firm in her faith. Chelsea also shares how PCA strengthened her walk with Christ through Bible classes that deepened her understanding of Christianity and other worldviews, equipping her to speak confidently about her beliefs. The example set by teachers and coaches who prayed with and for her provided a strong foundation of faith. As a parent, she is passionate about providing her children with the opportunity to grow and learn in a loving community of fellow believers who will walk alongside them in their faith journey. We are also excited to announce that Chelsea will serve as the Alumni Emcee for this year’s Zig Ziglar Servant Leadership Awards Banquet!
