🌟 Courage to Be Salt and Light in a Chaotic World

In Matthew 5, Jesus calls us the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Salt preserves what is good and pure, while light pushes back the darkness. In today’s chaotic culture, these words are not just comforting metaphors — they are a challenge. A challenge to live boldly, courageously, and faithfully, even when it costs us.

Boldness in a Time of Fear

In a world where faith is commonly mocked and truth is often watered down- defending life can feel like standing against a tidal wave. But we must remember that boldness has always been the mark of true discipleship. Courage is not the absence of fear — it’s obedience to Christ in spite of it.

Recently, the tragic passing of Charlie Kirk has reminded us of what it looks like to live with conviction. Charlie was outspoken, unapologetic, and deeply committed to defending the unborn. He believed that protecting life was not just a political issue but a spiritual one — a matter of obedience to God’s command to defend the vulnerable.

Charlie’s voice was one of courage. He spoke where others stayed silent. He fought for life when it would have been easier to stay comfortable.

Anchor Point’s Call: Boldness for Life

At Anchor Point, we share that same conviction. Defending life is at the very heart of our mission. Every mother who walks through our doors, every unborn child at risk, every family in crisis — they deserve to know they are not alone.

Being salt and light means more than words:

• It means preserving life where a culture of death seeks to destroy it.

• It means shining truth with compassion, reminding women that there is hope even in crisis.

• It means standing boldly for the voiceless, no matter how unpopular it may be.

A Reflection for Us All

Charlie’s courage challenges us to reflect:

• What am I doing with my faith right now?

• Am I bold enough to speak truth with love when it’s easier to stay silent?

• Am I living as salt and light in my community, my workplace, my family?

The fight for life is not only waged on public stages — it’s lived out every day in our choices to love, to serve, and to courageously defend the most vulnerable.

The Call Forward

The world doesn’t need more silence; it needs more boldness. As followers of Christ, we cannot afford to shrink back. We are called to shine brighter, speak louder in love, and stand firmer in truth.

💙 At Anchor Point, we invite you to join us in living courageously:

• Pray for women and children in crisis.

• Give to support life-affirming care.

• Stand boldly for truth in your community.

This is the heart of being salt and light. This is courage in action.
