Leah shares her journey into filmmaking, describing how her love for storytelling began in childhood through imaginative play, theater, and creating stop-motion films with her dolls. Though she initially believed theater would be her path, a short film camp experience transformed her direction. She realized filmmaking allowed her to combine multiple creative gifts into one calling. Now pursuing communications at Regent University, Leah sees storytelling as a powerful biblical tool, pointing to Christ’s use of parables as inspiration. She believes media, especially in today’s digital age, can be used to glorify God and communicate truth to her generation.
Her award-winning short film, Catch My Drift, reflects that conviction. Set in the 1970s, the 15-minute film follows a self-centered high school student who wants to become class president but must learn the true meaning of servant leadership. Rather than allowing the character to achieve immediate success, Leah intentionally concludes the story with the young protagonist stepping back, acknowledging she is not yet ready and still has much to learn. This realistic ending underscores the biblical principle that leadership requires humility and growth. The film blends comedy and meaningful messaging, using entertainment to draw viewers in while delivering substance that lasts.
Leah also mentors homeschool students between the ages of 9 and 15, teaching them acting, filmmaking, and hands-on production skills. She emphasizes experiential learning, placing cameras in their hands and guiding them through storytelling from script to screen. Through this mentorship, she sees firsthand how creative projects shape character. During a family premiere and Q&A, some of her young actors reflected on how the story influenced their own behavior, including treating siblings with more kindness. Leah recently completed a second short film, Ripple Effect, centered on a kindness club and the impact of small acts of compassion. With a larger cast and expanded crew, the project reinforced her commitment to storytelling with purpose. Her films are available on her YouTube channel, Imagination Adventures Films, along with behind-the-scenes footage and bloopers.
A musical interlude featuring the song “Nia,” meaning purpose in Swahili and Welsh, reinforces the episode’s message that everyone is born to live intentionally. Leah concludes with a heartfelt prayer over her generation, asking that young people discover their gifts, seek God’s direction, and understand that their talents are meant to glorify Him. The hosts affirm that knowing one’s purpose at a young age is rare and powerful, but they remind viewers of all ages that God has a plan for each life. The episode closes with encouragement to pray for the next generation to “catch the drift” of servant leadership and live with vision rather than simply adopting the world’s view.
