About the show

Welcome to the Live A Meaningful Story Podcast, where we connect the movies we love with the stories we live. We are four friends with different backgrounds who love watching movies and conversing about their deeper meanings. Each week, we discuss a film, wrestling with how its story, characters, settings, genres, and themes connect to the stories we find ourselves living. We often relate these films to principles found in Narrative Therapy and our Christian faith. Through this podcast, you will gain insight and appreciation for all kinds of stories, including your own. You will also be encouraged to reflect on your own life, and how to live with a greater sense of purpose. Join us as we make sense of our lives, one film at a time. Hosted by Derrick Hatch, a Storytelling Coach, Narrative Practitioner, and speaker. Co-hosted by award-winning filmmaker and movie buff Nick Natale, teacher and stop-motion filmmaker Joseph Wilson, and life-skills educator Jason Lynn. All Things Narrative exists to guide you towards telling and living your story more meaningfully.
