What if the stories we consume are training us either to face the dragon or run from it?

Artist, Author, and Storyteller Josh Nadeau joins LAB the Podcast to explore beauty, suffering, spiritual formation, and the stories that shape who we become. Reflecting on his journey into Orthodox Christianity, the disciplines that teach us to say no for greater yeses, and his work with Inkwell, Josh challenges the modern promise of a comfortable, frictionless life. Together, Josh and Zach consider why art must do more than entertain, how reading gives us new eyes, and how tending the people and places entrusted to us can form lives marked by courage, love, and hope.
