Summary

During the holocaust, 21 year old Sophie Scholl was beheaded for standing against Hitler’s evil regime. She said, “The real damage is done by those millions who want to 'survive.' The honest men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don’t want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves. Those with no sides and no causes. Those who won’t take measure of their own strength, for fear of antagonizing their own weakness. Those who don’t like to make waves—or enemies. Those for whom freedom, honour, truth, and principles are only literature. Those who live small, mate small, die small. It’s the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you’ll keep it under control. If you don’t make any noise, the bogeyman won’t find you. But it’s all an illusion, because they die too, those people who roll up their spirits into tiny little balls so as to be safe. Safe?! From what? Life is always on the edge of death; narrow streets lead to the same place as wide avenues, and a little candle burns itself out just like a flaming torch does. I choose my own way to burn.”― Sophie Scholl, .

Today, Seth and Heidi will challenge listeners to take a page from the life story of this brave young woman and choose service over safety.

1:48.3	down, not the least of which is President Trump who claims to be a Christian who just had a
1:53.4	celebration for the so-called respect for marriage act at Mar-a-Lago. And these people are
