Live A Meaningful Story

Why We Love Action and Adventurous Journeys [feat. Proverb Newsome]


Listen Later

Why are we drawn to heart-bounding adventurous and perilous journeys? Proverb Newsome joins us to explore Action stories, and how they challenge us to face our conflicts courageously. We discuss some of our favorite Action films, including 2022's hit Top Gun Maverick, and how going to college relates to the Hero’s Journey.
