All of us are given a personality, a unique story to live. As parents we have the opportunity to look at the inside of our children, find the themes that make up their particular beauty, and weave that into harmony in their life. At the heart of Awaking Wonder is the idea that we are called to become the maestro of our children’s lives, who conducts the symphony of their lives. I knew I wanted to have that role in each of my children’s journey; but I simply never imagined that one of my children would become an actual maestro.
Joel has had a musical ear since the very beginning. Born when we were living Vienna, he’s carried the music soul of his home city into the fullness of his life, from his work as a film score composer, to his beautiful piano performance, to the gorgeous music he writes for church choirs. Harmonies and melodies flow from him like water from a faucet.
Not only has he expressed goodness and beauty through his music, he is now studying the way that music helps us better encounter God and worship Him. He has a masters degree from the University in St Andrews, in Scotland, where he studied in the Institute for Theology, Imagination and the Arts, and now he is pursuing a PhD at St Andrews as well. He brings such insight and thoughtfulness to all his different life pursuits, from his creative work to his writing, and I’m so delighted that we were able to have a conversation together about art, beauty, creativity, and stimulating that wonder and imagination in children. I very much hope you’ll listen to today’s podcast as Joel verbalizes perfectly what I feel about the role of a mentor in education. You will be so deeply inspired. I hope you enjoy!
