There's a powerful social pressure in our world today: the fear of being the one who disagrees.

Chris Stefanick makes the case that being like Jesus was never the same thing as being "nice." Jesus welcomed everyone into His kingdom, but never at the cost of professing the truth of the power of sin. Pitting welcome against truth, Chris argues, means we've stopped following Him at all.

Chris walks through scripture on Jesus's authority and lands on the only two words Jesus ever used to describe how He holds it: meek and humble. He pushes back on a trend he's seeing among young Catholic men mixing a harsher, dominance-first version of masculinity with their faith.

Where in your own life have you let "keeping the peace" become an excuse not to say the true thing?
