Honesty in White Evangelicalism
A popular song on Christian radio, "Honest" by Leanna Crawford, asks the question "Can I be honest?" with lyrics like "Did I lose my faith? God, do I still trust you?" and "Is it the heavy of the world, or is it just me?"
God would rather have the real, honest, messy, broken hearted you than a fake smile, hurt on the inside but pretend to have it altogether you. It’s OK to be honest with Him.
These questions resonate with those who have left conservative white evangelicalism, and the song's message of honesty with God is encouraging.
The author has mixed feelings about the song, finding it beautiful but also stirring up inner conflict.
