FROM SAFE SPACE TO BRAVE SPACE: The Clash of Kingdoms, pt. 2

Blessed Life Fellowship

"Safe space" is a cultural concept introduced by certain groups in universities and some work places designed to protect people from criticism, harassment, or discrimination. While this is well-intentioned perhaps, by trying to protect people from ever experiencing anything difficult, we inadvertently create emotionally weak people who can't handle adversity. But this "safe space" mentality has crept into even the church, resulting in a church culture where people don't know how to deal with conflict nor control their emotions. The outcome is a church culture of cry babies and whiners. But God wants to move us beyond a safe space mentality to a brave space mentality so we can learn to be spiritual champions.
