Faithfully Podcast Books: Kathy Khang on ‘Raise Your Voice: How to Speak Up and Why We Don’t’

I don’t expect everyone to agree with my politics, but at the end of the day I do believe that as Christians the world should know what we are for and how we are going to change the world for the things that we care deeply about.

– Kathy Khang, Faithfully Podcast Books

• Pushback against Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students who spoke out on gun reform and school safety after the Parkland, Florida, mass shooting
• How to evaluate motivations for, and desired results of speaking up before choosing to engage
• On how developing a thick skin can get in the way of how the Holy Spirit speaks to us
• Why trusting in God doesn’t excuse us from speaking up against injustices
