Are the Saints Unrelatable?

ASCENSION
About this episode

When you hear the stories of the saints is it ever overwhelming? Some of their stories are so extraordinary that they can feel quite unrelatable. Dr. Edward Sri shares some of the saint stories that are very relatable. There are saints who made human mistakes, who struggled to pray, and didn’t always feel loved by God. Dr. Sri talks about those stories and how we can be more like the saints.

Snippet from the Show
You need a heart that is willing to be united to Jesus in his loneliness, in his misunderstanding, and in his suffering.
