Grace Doesn't Mean You Have to Agree

"There's a version of grace that has been flattened into silence — where extending kindness is confused with endorsing every position someone holds."

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. We live in a moment where every question of faith gets pulled into a political orbit, where taking a position on one thing means you've automatically signed on to twelve other things. And somewhere in that noise, grace gets redefined.

But I don't think grace means agreement. I don't think it means silence either. I think it means something harder — engaging honestly, without contempt, without condoning, without becoming what you're pushing back against.
