When Silence Disqualifies Faith Leadership

This is where the line must be drawn clearly.

Faith leaders who refuse to confront truth because they fear how their congregations will react are not exercising faith.

They are managing risk.

Scripture defines faith plainly. Hebrews 11:1 tells us faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.

Faith has never required safety.

It has always required courage.

If you cannot speak God’s truth when it threatens attendance, donations, reputation, or comfort, you may be a leader of people, but you cannot claim to be a leader of faith.

Jesus did not soften His message to keep followers.

He told the truth and watched people walk away.

Comfort is not a fruit of the Spirit.
