Love People with the Truth, Even If They Hate You For It

George Orwell once said, "In a time of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act." Those seem like prophetic words as we watched two major news events unfold this past week. The first--Ivan Provorov, the Philadelphia Flyers hockey player who cited his religious beliefs for skipping an NHL-sponsored LGBTQ pride event. And second--Rebecca Phillips, a 17-year-old girl who reported a naked trans-woman she encountered after getting out of the shower in a California YMCA women's locker room. Both Provorov and Phillips received criticism from the media and the general public for their actions, inciting a social media storm of name-calling and angry comments. On this midweek podcast episode, Frank takes a look at some of these comments and demonstrates with logic and reasoning how these hollow "arguments" against the actions of Provorov and Phillips point to a culture that puts symbolism over substance. Now more than ever, we need to calmly and reasonably stand in the way of evil by telling people the truth--even if they hate us for it. Why? Because that's the most loving thing to do!
