Something needs to be said—and I am willing to speak to it.
Jackson is hurting. Families are grieving. Young men are dying. We cannot keep offering condolences, shaking our heads, and moving on until another family receives the same devastating call.
We must talk about the anger that grows before violence erupts, the conflicts that become retaliation, and our responsibility as fathers, mothers, mentors, pastors, churches, and community leaders to reach our young men before blood reaches the ground.
This Sunday, I am not coming to exploit anyone’s pain, blame grieving families, or speculate about circumstances we do not fully understand. I am coming to let God’s Word confront all of us.
God asked Cain:
“Where is Abel your brother?”
Cain responded:
“Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Jackson, that question is still before us.
Are we listening before anger explodes?
Are we mentoring before the mugshot?
Are we intervening before the funeral?
Are we teaching our young men that walking away is not weakness—and that manhood is measured not by how much fear you create, but by how much life you protect?
Something needs to be said, and I am willing to speak to it.
