Love People with the Truth, Even If They Hate You For It
George Orwell once said, âIn a time of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.â Those seem like prophetic words as we watched two major news events unfold this past week. The firstâIvan Provorov, the Philadelphia Flyers hockey player who cited his religious beliefs for skipping an NHL-sponsored LGBTQ pride event. And secondâRebecca Phillips, a 17-year-old girl who reported a naked trans-woman she encountered after getting out of the shower in a California YMCA womenâs 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 âargumentsâ 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 truthâeven if they hate us for it. Why? Because thatâs the most loving thing to do!
