Episode 3

Reading As A Superpower

This week is a treat! A few weeks ago I joined Fr. Brian McGreevy for a talk at St. Philip’s Theology on Tuesdays, a biweekly group of young adults who meet at Henry’s on the Market in Charleston. Most weeks they talk about aspects of Christian living or theology—this week is was books and the WHY of reading.

Fr. Brian shares some interesting statistics on reading, and the benefits it has for your brain. It won’t surprise long-time listeners that I wanted to talk about how reading great books can change your heart.


This conversation was the first one I’ve had about books in front of a group, so I’m especially eager to share it here. I hope you enjoy it!

Cheryl Drury

Cheryl stayed home with her four children for many years, where she found her engineering and actuarial science degrees to be surprisingly useful. Together with her husband they also ran a horse boarding barn for several years. As new empty nesters, they sold the farm, moved to Charleston, SC, and bought Abide, a 136' sailboat, with the goal of sailing to as many places around the world as possible.
