Sarah sits down with best-selling author and storyteller, Josh Riebock, for an interview that is deeply refreshing, inspiring, and profound.. Josh is a poet and a nationally sought-after speaker on the subjects of storytelling, creativity, and honesty. Josh shares very openly about his rigid religious upbringing with a father who was an alcoholic and a mother who was a hoarder, and the way he sought asylum from this trauma through writing and stories and books- and how that eventually led him to becoming an author and speaker. He talks about his faith journey, and why he moved away from his pastor role at a church so that he could more freely ask the questions that were too difficult for him to ask. He shares how questions themselves are the bedrock for his ability to be creative, and how they have led him into a life that feels more authentic to who he was created to be. Sarah and Josh discuss themes of finding beauty in the "ugly parts" of ourselves, self-responsibility, and the way doubt leads to greater connection and intimacy.
