So….about the Cornell Immoral Seven: 

Enough obsessing over what SHE did.

Let’s talk about what those BOYS did.

When that Snapchat went out, decent young men should have been disgusted. They should have gone to that room, confronted the guys involved and said, “What the heck are you doing?” Then they should have called for help.

THAT is leadership.

Instead, too often our culture shrugs and falls back on the tired excuse: “Boys will be boys.”

No. Boys need to be taught to become MEN.

Men with self-control. Men with courage. Men who protect instead of exploit. Men who speak up when other men are doing something immoral. Men who someday lead their families with character and integrity.

Mothers and fathers both need to raise the standard.

Stop excusing reckless behavior.

Stop normalizing it.

Stop teaching boys that masculinity means getting away with whatever you can.

Strong societies require strong, moral men.

It’s time we start raising them.

People will inevitably disappoint us when we expect them to follow rules we never actually communicated.
You know what causes a shocking amount of conflict?
Not what people actually do.
It's what WE assume they should have done. #GreatExpectations https://t.co/uJnMHsu517

[Public Facing - The Podcast @PublicFacingPod]

When it comes to our expectations, we should assess them for positivity, but also for realistic value. These "#GreatExpectations" will hit with far less disappointment if we do! Join the conversation and Part 1 of this 3 part series. https://t.co/uJnMHsu517

Word has just come down that St. Paul’s Cathedral in London—the second most important church in the Anglican world—has imitated Canterbury Cathedral in permitting “raves,” nightclub-like entertainments, to take place in its confines.

The usual reasons for acquiescing to this have been trotted out: reaching out to the young, trying to get with the times, etc. But this development simply shows that the leadership of the Church of England has lost any sense of the crucial distinction between the sacred and the secular.

Across the centuries and across the cultures, our ancestors seem to have intuitively grasped the importance of this demarcation. Whereas the secular is the arena of ordinary experience and activity, the sacred is another realm, a different dimension.

Accordingly, in the properly sacred space, one is lifted out of the conventional and introduced into the numinous. This is why Christian cathedrals are filled with images of the saints and angels and why their interiors are meant first to disorient us and then to reorient us toward the divine.

It is also why, in the initiation rituals of primal peoples, a young person is purposely ripped out of the ordinary and introduced into the mythic and mystic dimension. And it is why, throughout the Bible, sacred spaces are carefully set apart from common spaces.

The contemporary West is, quite literally, the first culture in human history that is in danger of collapsing the sacred into the secular, or better, losing any sense of the difference between the two.

This is doing enormous damage, especially to young people, whose lives have been flattened into a preoccupation with money, worldly success, and material things.

The Church indeed should go out into the secular space to find those who have wandered away from God, but it should then lead those wanderers back to the holy.

Having “raves” in the nave of one of the most sacred spaces in the Christian world is, I’m sad to say, another sign of our pitiful surrender to ideological secularism.

There’s a reason so many Americans loved Dolly Parton — and why, in a country that disagrees about almost everything, we somehow didn’t disagree about Dolly.

She tried to see the good in everybody.

And there’s something about that kind of optimism that goes hand-in-hand with the American spirit. Dolly believed people could be better, tomorrow could be brighter and a little kindness could go a long way. That’s why she became more than a great entertainer. She became an American national treasure.

I also admired the fact that she largely stayed out of the political food fights of the day. And I think that mattered.

Her witness wasn’t compromised by constantly choosing political sides. She could lead by example, love people, talk about her faith and make a difference without getting bogged down in every controversy that came along.

Maybe there’s a lesson there for the rest of us.

Despite all our differences, I think we could use a little more Dolly in our daily lives.

Look, I’m probably not going to become best friends with a far-left progressive or socialist. We’re going to disagree on plenty. But hey, if he’s a Mets fan? Come on. Let’s go get a hot dog, complain about the bullpen and bond over baseball for a couple of hours.

It sounds small, but those moments matter.

We don’t have to agree on everything to find something good in each other.

Maybe that’s part of Dolly’s legacy too: a little more grace, a little more optimism, a little less politics — and a reminder that each of us can do our small part to make this world a better place.

We could all use a little more Dolly. @DollyParton @CBNNews #dollyparton
