Brenda Salter McNeil on Being Witnesses
Earlier this year Fuller’s Ogilvie Institute sponsored the Mighty Waters conference on preaching and living God’s passion for justice. One of the featured speakers was Fuller alum Brenda Salter McNeil, an advocate for reconciliation and healing in all the places where our differences continue to keep us split.
I was moved by her message then, and wanted to share it now that it’s available to watch free online. My favorite takeaway from this talk is this: Credibility is determined by the places we will and won’t go. We can prove ourselves competent by our skills, but other people determine our credibility. Sit with that one a bit.
