When I was still very young, my father taught me a vital truth for Christian leaders that I’ve never forgotten, and he did train me to be a Christian leader (like him).
When contemplating on whose platform you should speak or write, or whom you invite to speaker or write on your platform, never forget: “Your influence counts for something.”
Nobody expects that all our public associations will be in agreement with us on every detail. We might even have some strong disagreements and still maintain a firm public concord.
But if the people whom we platform and whose platforms we’re willing to share are severely compromised theologically and ideologically, are morally compromised, or suffer from deep character defects, we compromise our own Christian testimony by associating with them visibly and publicly.

If you come from a different culture to the one your kids are being raised in, you have a monumental task as a parent. You have to learn how to critique your own cultural norms while also realizing the value from your own home culture which you can instill in your children.
