Nathan is my out of the box, adventurer, story-formed son who fell in love with hero tales. We have long talks about how much he was inspired by the books that captured his imagination and gave him scope to imagine himself as a hero in his own story. We had so much fun today talking about some of his favorite books and why they still live in his mind today.
In addition, Nathan announces his new podcast about faith, film, philosophy, books, stories, art, and more… called “The Overthinkers”.
Below, find the links to the books we talk about, my podcast with Nathan, and Nathan’s new podcast, where on the most recent episode, he talks about how homeschooling shaped his creativity.
