This is a post by Stephen Christian, the lead singer of Anberlin.

Here’s a snippet.

“i am growing weary of ‘advocacy groups’ whose primary purpose is to raise awareness and then stop there! what is the point of a boxer who trains his whole life with the best trainers in the world, with the most rigorous work out program, who then in turn refuses to step into the ring?

of what use is the knowledge on how to fight, if there is no plan to fight?

i would rather take a societal ‘outcast’ by my side in the fight against any given cause, who is ready and eager to serve, then a fully capable intellectual who would rather merely entertain the conversation about the cause.  this is the day and age that requires action and the world is waiting with baited breath to watch us take on the challenges they have presented us.”
