Summary

Sports broadcaster Ernie Johnson has been called the "father of the century" for adopting a three-year-old from Romania who had been abandoned in a park at birth. And on this day in 1955, Rosa Parks was jailed for refusing to give up her seat on a public bus. In The Daily Article for November 1, 2021, Dr. Jim Denison explores why we are inspired by stories of heroic service, reminding us that we are all saints called to pursue a holy life in a broken world.

The Daily Article is written by Dr. Jim Denison and narrated by Chris Nichter.
