Who Vs. What

There is undoubtedly a cyclical and symbiotic relationship between character and plot.

Frodo’s Failure—When Doing Your Best Isn’t Enough

This image—Frodo’s failing despite his best effort—gets at the heart of the Gospel and the fact that left to ourselves, we can try-try-try all the livelong day and never measure up to what God requires. Never hope to come close. —Zac Totah in August 2016
