In this Paideia Conversation, Melissa Cummings is joined by her friend and cohost Jenn Discher from Paideia Southeast... who also happens to be today's guest! Jenn's first novel, The Elk King, was recently released, and this is a conversation all about what it looked like for her to create that kingdom, cultivating the world of Animalia while simultaneously creating a home and cultivating life there with her family for the kingdom of God. We promise there are zero spoilers in this episode! Just a lot of happy stories from behind the scenes, and chatting about how Jenn's work as a homemaker and homeschooling mother overlapped and influenced her work as an author. Enjoy this friendly conversation, be inspired to pick up a copy of The Elk King for your own family, and may the peace of God be with you.
