Soldier of Light Against Darkness™, one of the greatest acts of courage is not rebellion—it is refusal. Refusing to bend. Refusing to blend in. Refusing to become what the system expects you to be in order to survive it. Throughout Black history, courage often looked like staying clean in environments designed to soil the soul. And that kind of courage still matters today.

The enemy doesn’t always show up with destruction; sometimes, he brings offense. It sneaks in through a side comment, a betrayal, a forgotten thank you. It festers from family arguments, church hurt, job disappointments, or even silence from God.
