In this episode of MINDSET, we ask a question that has puzzled and delighted Tolkien readers for decades: What do we do with Tom Bombadil? Clad in a bright blue coat and yellow boots, Tom dances and sings his way through the Old Forest, obviously out of place in the battle for Middle Earth. And yet, according to Chris Wiley, Bombadil is not an oddity or narrative leftover—he is a profound signpost.

Join host Mike Schutt as he and Chris explore the significance of this entertaining and mysterious “signpost” for Christians seeking to have the right mindset about the reality of the world around us.
