None of us can escape suffering. And even when things are going well, there are moments when we suddenly realize we are getting too caught up in worldly things and need to “reset” our minds and hearts.
Especially in these moments, we need a friend who can direct our souls back toward what is beautiful and holy. For many, that friend is a man who has been called “God’s Troubadour.”
