What exactly should I say? Will people even listen? Is it going to start a fight? These might be questions you ask yourself before you post something on social media or speak up against an injustice you see taking place. These also can be the very same questions that put enough doubt in your mind to keep you silent. Fear, uncertainty, and just plain weariness can often be the leading causes that keep us quiet. Sometimes, all it takes is a little encouragement to spur someone on to speak a word that just might change someone else’s heart or maybe even the world. Join us as we draw from Queen Esther and her cousin Mordecai to find out how speaking up can help us and others to stay upright.
