Speaking the truth is rarely easy, but it is always necessary. For me, it has cost friendships, relationships, and even lucrative contracts. Yet for the past twenty years, I have chosen to walk with God. That decision means choosing truth over convenience, no matter the price.
Even a trembling voice has power. When you stand up and speak honestly—even if your voice shakes—it carries more weight than silence or a lie ever could. People may not always like it, but they will feel the truth in your words.
Vulnerability connects. When we open ourselves honestly, with our flaws and fears on display, people see the real us. Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s the bridge that allows others to connect with our humanity.
Shaking means you care. The nerves, the trembling hands, the lump in your throat—all of it means what you’re saying matters. If it didn’t, you wouldn’t feel the weight of it. That weight is proof that your words have meaning.
Your voice matters. One honest word can spark courage in someone else to do the same. Truth spoken in sincerity is contagious—it gives permission for others to rise, to stand, and to find their own trembling voice.
So speak the truth. Even if it costs you. Even if it shakes you. Because the world needs your courage more than your comfort.
