In this episode, I had David Perell – a writing teacher, Founder of “Write of Passage” school, and the host of ”How I Write” podcast. David shares his passion for teaching writing, the concept of American Idolatry, his own path to faith, how he came to believe in Jesus as the most influential figure in Western civilization, and the importance of reading and writing in personal growth and communication.
