Author and speaker Jen Hatmaker wrote that “when white, mostly male, straight married, able-bodied people with a certain threshold of money and power are at the center of the narrative, we will never correctly identify good fruit. . . . Privilege is a reliable enemy of discernment.”[14] Interestingly, Hatmaker is white, straight married, and able-bodied, and she has a certain threshold of money and power. So according to her logic, the “privilege” she enjoys should make her mistrust her own views. Why then is she so confident in her own assertions?
