413 - Heidi White - The Divided Soul: Duty and Desire in Literature and Life

In this conversation, I sit down with author and educator Heidi White to discuss her new book, The Divided Soul. We explore the story of the prodigal son, the tension between duty and desire, and how these themes echo through literature, culture, and our own lives. Heidi shares insights from the Bible, classical works, and pop culture, showing that many stories reflect this deep human struggle.<br /><br />YouTube version: https://youtu.be/1LjDeZpSviw<br /><br />Buy Heidi’s book: https://www.goldberrypress.com/products/the-divided-soul-duty-and-desire-in-literature-and-life<br />Heidi’s Substack and podcast: https://closereads.substack.com/ <br />Instagram: @heidiwhitereads <br /><br />📖 Let's take our stories back.
