20 March 2021 | Fourth Saturday of Lent | Eugene, Ore.

As our course through Lent bears on toward Holy Week, we come now to the end of the Two Towers, and the path laid before them leads the hobbits into darker places than they dreamt they would ever have to go! We read these last chapters through the theme of friendship and consider what it means to have a companion by your side when the path grows dim and dangerous. Also, I share some thoughts on meetings from Pat Lencioni and on the apostolic life from St. Bernard of Clairvaux! Come join me on a rainy hike into wild lands!
