One of the more disturbing trends we’ve seen of late is the rise of what has been labeled our “cancel culture.” It’s a manipulation tool utilized by both the right and the left to suppress free speech. Anyone who dissents from the herd mentality is immediately “cancelled” — shamed and vilified, typically on social media. It’s the byproduct of our inability to disagree these days and it explains some of what we’re seeing in the uglier demonstrations on the streets in our country right now.

If you’re interested in a good assessment of this from a Christian perspective, I highly recommend this free eBook from Summit Ministries entitled “Twenty Things to Say and Do to Fight the Cancel Culture.” It’s simultaneously enlightening and heartbreaking.
