Welcome back to The Padernacht Podcast: Brick by Brick.
In this episode, Steven Padernacht sits down with Jeffrey Seitz — a writer, creative, and storyteller whose journey sits at the intersection of faith, discipline, brotherhood, and personal transformation.
Jeffrey is currently editing his debut novel, A Dragon from Heaven — a 300+ page portal fantasy set in a world called Yondera that he began building at age 18. He holds a Master's in English from SUNY New Paltz and a Brand Storytelling certification from Cornell University, and is also working on a creative video dramatization of T.S. Eliot's The Wasteland with filmmaker Mike Press.
This episode covers:
• Overcoming insecurity, perfectionism, and the fear of putting your story into the world
• A Dragon from Heaven — the novel, the world of Yondera, and why this project has been 15 years in the making
• The Wasteland Project — how a 100-year-old poem became a deeply personal creative mission
• Growing up homeschooled K–12 and what it really shaped
• The ACE Summit wood-chopping moment — one of the most emotional stories ever told on this podcast
• Faith as an acronym: Forsaking All, I Trust Him
"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story within yourself."
