Peter Thiel says that "brilliant thinking is rare, but courage is in even shorter supply than genius." We see that on display in the way the leadership of the Gospel Coalition threw pastor and TGC Keller Center fellow Josh Butler under the bus when the hate mob came for him. This is unfortunately standard operating procedure in much of American leadership today. We all need to find ways to become incrementally more courageous in order to deal with the serious challenges facing our society and the church today.
