What if silence isn’t neutral?
In this raw and urgent episode of Harvest Sarasota, we wrestle with one question that refuses to leave us alone:
Who is paying the cost of my silence?
In a week heavy with grief, outrage, and injustice, this message cuts straight through spiritual platitudes and political avoidance. We talk about when staying quiet causes harm, when speaking up becomes holy rebellion, and how faith can be used either to protect power or defend people.
Drawing from Scripture, lived experience, and moments the church often avoids, this episode challenges the idea that God is done speaking and confronts the cost of comfort, tradition, and certainty. From Acts to today, from the pulpit to the streets, this is a call to choose compassion over convenience and courage over silence.
This episode isn’t safe.
But it might be faithful.
Listen if you’re ready to ask harder questions, hear God’s voice beyond tradition, and decide what kind of church you’re helping write into today’s chapter of Acts.
