At the end of the first episode of Friday Night Lights, Coach Eric Taylor ends his prayer for Jason Street by saying that at some point in our lives, we will all fall. This becomes the most powerful theme of the show, as every character is forced to overcome their own personal struggles. While the characters rarely, if ever, seek redemption in the right places, I am always reminded of how merciful my God is. Even when we make the stupidest decisions of our lives, God is willing and able to forgive us. I think that’s why I love the show so much.
