I was wrong.
I can admit that now.

Love. Serve. Lead.
The good news of liberation.
Jesus and justice too.
But reality is never that clean.

The reality is that sometimes our desire to serve doesn’t account for the demands of survival.
The reality is, sometimes people need the very armor we want them to discard.
