Summary
This week, Vanessa and Matt explore the theme of Discernment in Chapter 27 of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix! They discuss Firenze’s newfound employment at Hogwarts, Hagrid’s autonomy, and the chaotic scene in Dumbledore’s office. Throughout the episode we consider the question: how do we practice discernment in moments of crisis?
Thank you to Sophie for this week’s voicemail! Next week we're reading Chapter 28, Snape’s Worst Memory, through the theme of Kindness with Casper ter Kuile.
