Snippet: "Tenacity and Humility"

Snip·pet | ˈsnipit | noun a small piece or brief extract.

I heard this yesterday, but it would have been good for my weekend sermon. It’s Justin Giboney on The Church Politics Podcast on the May 6 episode (with some editing for clarity).

“And that's why I say the culture war…issues aren't necessarily not worth fighting for. There may be a battle in how we go back and forth, but do we have to go into that battle pretending that we are without sin and that the other side is responsible for everything bad? Or can we go to that battle with tenacity, but also with intellectual honesty, historical context, and fight for what’s right, while still trying to reach the persuadable people who are actually listening and trying to find out what's right or wrong? I think sometimes we just focus on the extreme folks.”
