Seven Days of Gratitude: Day 5

The Seven Days of Gratitude are an annual tradition and gratitude challenge for us at MW. We have seven days leading up to Thanksgiving (U.S.) where we reflect on different themes that help us reflect on the things we can be grateful for. Some are obvious and some are a bit more random. I hope you join us on this journey of reflecting on gratitude. You can journal it or share with us on social media @modernwitnesses_ on Instagram. Tag us or do #SevenDaysofGratitude. As always, we are grateful to God for you and everything you are doing to reflect His light.

Day 5 theme:

The Truthtellers

Journalism is a profession I love and studied, but one that almost doesn’t exist. I wanted to take a moment and acknowledge the people who are independent thinkers, who ask the hard questions and don’t get paid off by pharmaceuticals or other interests.

Seeking truth takes courage. I celebrate the people who believe in truth, accountability and the nuance of life. Some of my favorites include Curtis Sliwa, Jessica Kraus (of House Inhabit), and Miranda Divine. We are wired for truth.

Who is a truthteller you are grateful for? It can be a person in your community, a journalist, a family member or friend.

Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.

Ephesians 4:15
