1 May 2021 | St. Joseph the Workman | Eugene, Ore.

In this week’s episode, I share about some powerful conversations I have had recently with people in the parish, as well as my definitive rankings of Shakespeare’s romances and history plays! (The first place winner in each genre may surprise you!) Finally, some thoughts from Tolkien on what it means to take evil seriously (without losing hope) and how to work like St. Joseph (not to win love, but to give love). Time is short and eternity is long, friends, so let’s dive in!
