…be uncomfortable but not offended and could compartmentalize it. Also remember the person with Tourette’s is likely embarrassed and uncomfortable. In fact stress increases the tic frequency.

OK, point taken. But … the fact still remains that it is a neurological event that is not intended rather than screaming (which implies volition). If someone with epilepsy had a seizure onstage would that be offensive? If someone with Tourette’s emitted a slur about my sexuality or career I might …

…take no offense. Just chill!! I am all for reducing micro aggressions and at the same time we need to have effective personal boundaries, self respect and understanding of differences.

All disabilities involve some level of accommodation by the community. There might be some rare and extreme situations to exclude someone but in general education for the community and compassionate acceptance is called for. If audience knows the vocal tic is unintentional then the audience need …

That’s really nice and I’m happy for you but where does the water come from to irrigate for those crops?

This is the authentic gospel in action

📌 Lake Street Church Nativity: a bold social justice statement with ICE-like Roman soldiers, the Virgin Mary in a gas mask, baby Jesus zip-tied, Joseph on the ground, pushing viewers to think about immigration.

I agree! He has a wonderful poetic and spiritual gift.

I think you might be onto something. Mix in some theology of glory/christian nationalism.

So good to hear.

…the way.
