In this episode, Matt talks with Laura Alary. Laura is the author of over 20 books (a few are on their way to publication). On her website, she claims to “write stories that make us bigger on the inside” and explains that “…means my books make you think. Wonder. Ask big questions. Maybe understand other people a bit better. Some of them are serious. Some are funny. Most are a bit of both. But they all aim to stretch minds and hearts.”
This conversation was so rich and full of wonder as we spoke about:
Creativity as intrinsic to being human, reflecting the image of the Creator.
The hopeful orientation of Christian artistic expression
Having a more broad view of vocation as not just an unexpected calling but as something that “lights you up” and aligns with natural gifts and passions.
The power of Children’s Books especially in rediscovering a sense of wonder and connection to faith
The role and importance of curiosity
Laura’s approach to writing
