"How did it make you feel when your brother first wanted to protest?"

My kids join me to share their own thoughts about attending peaceful protest demonstrations. I share the why behind our go, and the spiritual implications attached to our decision.

"No justice, no peace. Some people mishear revenge in these words, but that's not what they are. They are a call for righteousness to abound. I cherish them because no matter whose mouth exudes them or what the person believes, they are succinctly expressing the essence of the gospel. We are collectively groaning for the same insatiable desire that only Christ can truly satisfy. Jesus is the embodiment of justice and love's collision. He's it!" -Bec McNew
