About Make Saints
From the publisher's feed
Because (eternal) life is hard. We all need help; with life, work, love, and everything else. Make Saints is a podcast about that side of life. The part that's hard but seems like it's supposed to be…
easy. And that moment when we realize that none of us is perfect.
