Takeaways

Institutions can serve as shock absorbers in times of crisis, providing stability and a sense of calm.

Non-anxious presence is not about making others feel comfortable, but about being steady and steadfast in the face of turmoil.

Passions, or instinctive and impulsive reactions, can either be a blessing or a destructive force when they run the show.

Highly empathetic communities can be prone to enmeshment and lack of boundaries, leading to emotional volatility.

Sober-mindedness is the ability to govern and shepherd one's own passions, avoiding being controlled by them or by the passions of others. Recognize when slander is being used to manipulate and steer others.

Have clarity on the purpose and mission of the institution to resist being derailed by emotional pressures.

Be willing to be slandered for the sake of faithfulness, but also ensure that the slander is false.

Respond to slander with curiosity and clarity, seeking to understand the motivations behind it.

Courage is contagious and can be a powerful witness to the world.
