When You Stop Explaining Yourself

Sometimes we over-explain because we are still asking permission to have limits. In this episode of The Yellow Arrow Daily, Ander Etxanobe reflects on Matthew 5 : 37 (NRSV-CE) — “Let your word be ‘Yes, Yes’ or ‘No, No’; anything more than this comes from the evil one.” It’s a reminder that clarity does not have to be harsh. Sometimes the most honest thing you can offer is a simple yes or no.
