Attending rallies and protests no longer enough to bring real change  NOTE: I dedicate this piece to all my friends, all the warriors, all the servants of this movement who have given their life, breath, and endless energy to this movement. I hope this post - and this hour in our culture - will rally more support to their side, like never before. You are my heroes. I have to say what few have said. I must also say what will be uncomfortable to many. But someone has to peel back the bandaid and say truth.
If your idea of bringing change to society is to do protests, pickets, boycotts, and rallies - FOR ANY TOPIC - that is not enough. It will not bring the sustainable change that is needed. It is, in fact, the lazy way out if that is your only call to action. To bring the change needed in our state, our nation, our communities we need 3 things:
We have to get out and serve our communities.

The secret is out: I was homeschooled for 12 glorious years and it was well worth it. Here is the message I gave to homeschool families gathered at the State Capitol a few days ago. Watch it and let me know what you think!
Yes, I was homeschooled. Some of you will say “ah hah! Now we know what is wrong with her! She was homeschooled!!!” You’re funny. Believe me, I’ve heard it all. Everything from, “Wait, are you Amish?? Were you the Valedictorian of your class? How big was your basketball team? Did you have any friends?? Who was your favorite teacher!!” All jesting aside, I get the jokes: homeschooling is an anomaly and in a world that focuses on individuals desperate to fit in, it feels like a very strange road to choose to stand out. Oh but what a beautiful road it is for those who are called to take it. |
