Urbana Appetizer...

Hello, friends!

Right now I'm working on a Superblog for the Urbana conference (spoiler alert: it was amazing!) but given all the attention and publicity that InterVarsity has received in the past few weeks since Urbana, I figured that I should at least address the question on everybody's mind: What happened with Michelle Higgins?!

I'm definitely going to have a lot of thoughts about what happened December 28 as well as everything that has happened since then but before we can get into that, there's some work that needs to be done.

A lot of speculation and assumption has been made about what she said or didn't say. Headlines and secondhand reports tend to blow things out of proportion because the media is in the business of selling clicks and controversy gets clicks. So, while I have plenty to say about what went down, the most important thing I can do is say this: Watch the video. Actually listen to her words. Hear what she says and what she doesn't say. Without this context, everything is just noise.

Here's the video of just Michelle:



If you have the time, please check out the entire night's session for even more context.

Have an excellent day!
