What if God's plan isn't a perfect blueprint, but a relationship that continues even when we fail? Father Gene reflects on a God who doesn't abandon us when we fall short, but continually invites us forward with faith, hope, and love.
Growing up means carrying both the good and the mistakes that shaped us. Father Gene reflects on truth, confession, friendship, and the difficult journey of forgiving ourselves, reminding us that our mistakes may be part of our story—but they don't have to define it.
