Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission President Brent Leatherwood spoke at Dallas Baptist University in Dallas, Texas last week about the issues of fear and anger in society. His message focused on the role of faith and love in facing these emotions.




Leatherwood stated, “In times of uncertainty, it’s our faith that keeps us grounded. It’s our love for each other that overcomes fear and anger.” He called on Christians to demonstrate their faith through actions.
His message included the importance of spreading positivity to counteract negativity. He encouraged being supportive, extending friendship, and offering comfort.
Leatherwood urged individuals to initiate positive change, where faith addresses fear and acts of love counteract anger.
The address was a call to unity and compassion, emphasizing the need to share hope and love, one day at a time, to tackle the challenges posed by fear and anger.
