As a chaplain at a school in Australia in a lockdown. I must say this piece of writing is timely and extremely accurate to lived experience. Thanks for helping me reflect well.

Good stuff Mike! Thanks. Over 30 years ago I was leading a Bible Study on maximum security prison unit in Texas. Over the course of 2 years my small class had grown to 40-50 men. After study one night an inmate asked me if I knew why my class was so popular with the men. He said “oh we have better preachers, we all come because we know you love us”
I think of that often.
