The Frank Friar - Episode 166: Words, Conformity and the Dangers of Normalcy

Words have power. Not the same power as a fist, but power none the less. Each society uses language to cultivate a way of life that it thinks is the best. Yet, St. Paul calls us not to become conformed to the world (Rom. 12: 1-3). How have we become confirmed to the world is an important question each Christian must ask themselves. Today, I call out the danger of conforming to the vision of normalcy that others may place upon us.
