Saints Made of Stone

"In the Rubble of Reputations, We Find the Wounded"

When revered leaders fall or pass, the Church often rushes to defend the legacy, forgetting those who were crushed beneath it. In this bonus episode of The Faithful Citizen, we explore the complex reality of spiritual influence, the wounds many have carried in silence, and the cost of upholding reputations over healing.

Through reflection, lament, and truth-telling, we ask:

What happens when the saints we were told to revere were also the source of deep harm?

What does accountability look like in the Body of Christ?

And how can we faithfully stand with the wounded without fear of tarnishing the memory of the powerful?

This episode is not about vengeance; it’s about vision. A vision for a Church that sees, hears, and protects the vulnerable, even if it means admitting the cracks in our most celebrated stones.
