For years, Danny Silk has been teaching, writing, speaking, and coaching on honor and how to express it in our families, churches, organizations, and communities. And for years, he has received the same feedback and questions around this powerful, challenging, and frequently misunderstood and misapplied concept, such as:· “You say that people of honor must be powerful, but to a lot of people, ‘powerful’ means dominating and selfish.
