Scripture directly: Ephesians 5:11–13 — have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them; "everything exposed by the light becomes visible."
Teaching: the struggle grows in darkness and shrinks in the light. Secrecy is not privacy — it is provision. Confession is not condemnation; it is surgery.
Reflection: What have you kept hidden because the dark felt safer than the light?
