Patreon Page // Buy Thinking Out Loud Products Thinking Out Loud is a place to digest audibly the things we tend to think through silently. We'll look at a variety of complex issues from a variety of points of view, not necessarily to get to "right answers" but to build empathy and perspective. Today's guest is Ashley Evans Black. Ashley is a mental health counselor turned youth director who loves to read! I'm a youth director and I love to read! So we chat reading. Have we always been readers? What led us to becoming readers? What were some of the formative books in our early lives? We also talk the importance of story and being a good story teller, how reading fiction can help you understand the Bible, and sooo much more!
