One of the greatest missionaries in the history of Christianity was at one point one of the greatest threats to Christianity.

“What makes us the saints of God is not our ability to be saintly but rather God’s ability to work through sinners.”- Pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber. The Bible is filled with stories of larger than life figures that have been admired for being models of faith and fortitude, but what if everything we have come to know and love about them has more to do with God’s grace than their goodness? In this series based on the book Accidental Saints, by Pastor Nadia-Bolz Weber, we will examine the lives of five Biblical figures who serve as examples that God’s greatest work is often done through people who would never be considered “good” people.
