When fiction speaks truth, the kind that helps us know who we are and what matters most, it tends to stick, leaves an impact, and can shape our lives in ways we might never have expected. In this episode, Michael and guest Matt Eckert embark on a quest for truth and meaning in J.R.R Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy. Together they explore the book's prophetic nature, its relevance to our modern times, and the timeless observations about the human condition that it offers.
