Recitation & Memorisation For Delight & Growth - With Serena McCarthy (feat. Paul Sheffield)

In this week's conversation I’m speaking to returning guest Serena McCarthy (https://instagram.com/the_nature_of_light?igshid=17fg0ywjbdlza). Serena has a long background in theatre, direction and acting; she’s a writer, editor, pastor voracious reader (I love all her recommendations, she recently text me and said “stop what you’re doing, click onto Amazon and order “my name is Asher Lev”, so I did) and as an adult woman she chooses to continue to remember and delight in beautiful verse, words and scriptures. There’s also a special guest appearance on this episode, my dad! Paul Sheffield makes an appearance because I’ve known him all my life as someone who memorises - but not for show, but to richly feed his inner life. Listen in...
