Just to comment, courage takes on many forms. I remembered the sharing from a “Life Deacon” who resigned because he viewed leadership was glossing over senior concerns. He was a WW2 Marine who hit the beach at Iwo Jima. He stated it was easier to face the those machine guns and cannon fire. Knowing his servant heart, his statement struck me as profound and sad as he embraced me after sharing his attempts to voice his concerns. Romans 12:5 is a rod which defines us indeed.
