Pastors who cower before imperial power and white discomfort must own their share of the blame because they fail to cast a gospel vision for their members. They fail to make disciples who desire to participate in biblical justice and are equipped to engage in a Spirit-filled righteous resistance against the powers, principalities, and spiritual wickedness that oppose the will of God. Pastors cannot allow the gospel we proclaim to be dictated by what our members are ready for on their own. We are called to lead and disciple, not placate, our members.
