  • The Pressure of Pleasing Others

    Today, we examine how pressure, pride, and the desire to please others can push a person into choices that go against conscience. The martyrdom of John the Baptist reminds us that doing what is right sometimes requires the courage to disappoint people rather than betray the truth.
