    Why Saint Michael Matters

    Who is Saint Michael the Archangel, and why has he been one of the most beloved saints in Christian history? In this episode of Rooted in Grace we dive into the powerful role of Saint Michael as the defender of God’s people, the leader of the heavenly armies, and a protector against the forces of evil. Together, we’ll explore what Scripture teaches about Saint Michael, why the Catholic Church honors him so deeply, and how his example can strengthen our own spiritual lives. Whether you’re familiar with the Saint Michael prayer or are just learning about this incredible archangel, this episode will encourage you to remember that we are never alone in our spiritual battles. God provides His grace, His angels, and His protection every step of the way.

Whether you grew up Catholic, left the Church, or are simply curious, this episode is for you! *Journal Prompt What would change in my life if I trusted God with that same humility and surrender Mary showed?
