SNS 023: the Bible and Its Messed Up Saints

One of the most amazing things I find in the Bible is just how messed up, how ordinarily human, the people in it truly are. Why do I find it amazing and even comforting? The last thing I’d expect in the holy book of any religion is for it to be full of those who, considered to be heroes of the faith, are as flawed as the Bible’s are. No matter where you turn, those, listed as the paragons of faith, are portrayed as fully human as I am; full of faults and fears and missteps. This is what we explore in this episode.

Scripture Passages referenced:

Hebrews 11 ~ known as the Faith Hall of Fame.
