Unchallenged convictions are mere opinions until they stand the test of rigorous rethinking.
“Transparency is the window that allows you to see. Vulnerability is the door that allows you in.”

When friends confide in you, it’s not for you to do the following.
- Share without their consent
- Build your own platform
- Use as manipulation
Vulnerability takes strength. They’re literally giving you their heart. Be an adult. Protect them. Take it seriously. #friendship

You’re not alone. I hope you find safe spaces to share truth. There’s healing there.
To all my white brothers & sisters, pastors & leaders.
