Celebrating Black Saints

Featuring Meg Hunter-Kilmer

February 21, 2022 | 28 min.

We're celebrating Black History Month!

Chenele and Meg Hunter-Kilmer talk about the blessing and importance of befriending saints whose life experience is much different from our own. Meg also introduces lesser-known Black saints and shares her personal story of becoming friends with saints who are different from her.

Do you ever think of the saints as your friends? What if you befriended a saint who is different from you?
