Some of your favorite Bible characters were… terrible sometimes.
Abraham lied and said Sarah wasn’t his wife. Jacob tricked his father into giving him the birthright instead of his brother. And there are plenty of stories that aren’t even appropriate enough to make it into a YouTube description.
But what is the Bible? A collection of inspiring fables? Or the real story of humanity and God?
For Fr. Mike, this is good news (and it should be for you too). Our favorite saints were just like us. And we can yes to God in all of our brokenness just like they did.
