We Are Created Human
There’s a quote that says, “Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.” We are created human — imperfect and striving to do things to the best of our abilities. But being human, we have things within us that just don’t work. Father Gene shares that failure is a part life, and we must understand that there is no one perfect solution to our individual trials. We must learn to accept who we are as God's children so that we can achieve our goals in life.
What does a truly successful life look like? Father Gene challenges the usual definitions of status and achievement, offering a deeper, more human measure rooted in relationships, presence, and impact—being someone others genuinely want to invite back into their lives.
In this FatherSide Chat, Father Gene reflects on doubt, decision-making, and faith. He suggests that questioning isn’t weakness but part of living thoughtfully. Even disbelief requires faith, reminding us that honest reflection and uncertainty often guide our deepest convictions.
