Change only happens when you speak what is true. And we have the truth on our side. So speak boldly. Change the culture. Infiltrate what needs to be infiltrated. And reform what needs to be reformed so that the earth may look more like heaven for the next generation. Today we’re asking the question, is being kind killing truth? Is our desire to be loving actually a form of betrayal? That’s what we’re going to be talking about today.

James, you’re getting us into uh really great territory. And I love that you picked up on this. The weaponizing of kindness turning out to be a betrayal of our own friends and family because we’re afraid to tell the truth.
Before we dive into this, I want to give a quick shout out to our sponsor, ADF, Alliance Defending Freedom. These guys are awesome. This is a group of lawyers nationwide that works pro bono giving free advice and representation when conservatives and Christians are being shut down and persecuted, fired, and all kinds of things.
I want to tell you all about them in just a little bit. But James, what made you think of this topic for a dangerous conversation? Well, I think this is something that I’ve noticed over the past couple years, especially when I moved here out south where there’s there’s this form of southern hospitality and kindness. >> And I’ve even noticed this in the broader culture when it comes to >> like love is love and we should be compassionate and accepting of all people regardless of where you come from or what you believe. And I feel as
though that has almost seeped into the church a little bit. >> Yeah. What you’re saying resonates with me too because um as as followers of Christ, we ought to be leading the way with kindness and compassion. And I know that so many people have been dogging on the church as being judgmental, being legalistic, and all that.
And so we seem to be sort of rebounding and wanting to learn lessons in kindness. And then we’re taking we’re taking our cues from the progressive left who come up with signs in rainbow colors that say love is love and no person is illegal and science is real and the climate alarmist stuff and if you really care about people you’ll wear a mask and you’ll stay six feet apart and all and you go wait a second this is now turning into manipulation and control particularly of the family of faith.
And now compassion has been weaponized. >> Yeah. And I think the same terms that you used in the church could be someone who says, “Well, everyone’s a sinner.” Or someone who says, “Come as you are.” Or somebody who says, “Who am I to judge?” Those are kind of the phrases that are used in the church that actually have a correlation to >> kind of what the progressive movement says. Yeah.
