Truth or love: do we have to choose?
It's a confusing time to be alive. We celebrate a diversity of people and experiences, but we fear a diversity of thought and beliefs. It's ok to live your truth, so long as you don't infringe on mine. Undergirding this cultural consensus is the assumption that making truth claims inevitably leads to disagreement, and disagreement is the start of a slippery slope into division and dehumanization. But is truth really an act of war and keeping silent an act of love? In this week's Ask Away, we're sharing a message Vince first gave in 2017 while asking a question that has become even more pressing today than it was back then: Do we really have to submit to the cultural ultimatum between truth and love? What if the Truth is a person, and what if even his greatest disagreement with us was an act of radical love?
