When God's People Do
Terrible Things
A Free Chapter on the Bible's Hardest Stories
The Bible does not hide it. Abraham lies. David commits adultery and murder. Peter denies Jesus. The people we call heroes of the faith are shown sinning, failing, and abusing their power. If those stories have unsettled you, this free chapter, set aside from The Way Through, faces them squarely instead of smoothing them over.

A full chapter on the Bible's most troubling stories, the ones where revered figures like David and Abraham do terrible things.
An honest, grace-filled way to read these failures without excusing the sin and without losing your faith.
The reassurance that being unsettled by them is a sign of a tender conscience, not weak belief.

~ A Little About Robin ~
I remember exactly how overwhelming it felt to be a new believer holding a Bible that sometimes seemed to contradict itself. I spent 18 years walking with Jesus and studying difficult passages. That journey led me to write The Way Through, a guide to help people like you navigate the confusing parts of Scripture without losing your faith.
The questions you're carrying are not a sign that your faith is weak. They're a sign that you're taking it seriously. This guide is my way of sitting down with you, opening the Bible together, and working through the parts that feel confusing or even troubling, so you can keep moving forward with confidence.
The Stories We Would Rather Skip
The Bible calls Abraham, David, and Peter heroes of the faith, then shows them lying, committing adultery and murder, and denying Jesus. Scripture hides none of it. Most of us either skip those chapters or carry a quiet guilt for being troubled by them. Neither response is honest, and neither one is necessary.
This chapter faces those stories directly. It looks at what is happening in them, why God left them in the record instead of cleaning them up, and how to read the failures of faithful people without excusing the sin or losing your footing. Being troubled by David abusing his power is not weak faith. It is your conscience working the way God made it to.
I wrote this chapter for The Way Through and set it aside to keep the book focused, but the questions it answers matter too much to leave unanswered. So it is yours, free, to read slowly and sit with.
