The show centers on how art, literature, and faith intersect to form virtue and imagination in young readers. Recent conversations span Christian symbolism in classic fairy tales, the craft of fairy tale storytelling, approaches to parenting and education through narrative, and practical guidance for building home libraries and sacred art spaces.
