The Power of Story: Jared Michaud on Fiction and Faith (Ep. 118)
In this episode of the Joe Rooz Show, Joe welcomes his good friend and talented writer, Jared Michaud. Jared, a devoted fiction writer and father of seven, shares his journey into storytelling, influenced by literary giants like CS Lewis and Orson Scott Card. They discuss the power of fiction to shape culture and the importance of embedding deep truths within stories. Jared also opens up about his unique perspective as someone on the autism spectrum and how it influences his writing, particularly in his book series "Bright Star."
The conversation takes a turn into current events, discussing the implications of AI and blackmail inflation on the Epstein files, and the potential for Bitcoin to become a world reserve currency. Joe and Jared explore the intersection of faith and politics, considering the signs of the times and the role of storytelling in conveying deeper truths. The episode wraps up with a reflection on the power of fiction to inspire future generations and the importance of maintaining a personal relationship with God in navigating today's complex world.
