Saints & Scenarios
Ancient People. Modern Arguments.
People in the Bible lived in ancient cities, desert caves, and royal courts. But what would they do in a coffee shop? Who would they be on social media? In a group chat?
Saints & Scenarios takes the people from history's most extraordinary book and drops them into the modern world. Through several scenarios and your handful of saints, you get to debate why your pick is the best fit.
Who would accidentally go viral? Who would be an Ivy League commencement speaker?
Pick your biblical figure, make your case to the table, and convince the Arbiter that your saint is the right one.
Oh — and watch out for the Advocate Card! You'll know it when you see it.
