Brother,
When a Christian encounters a pattern of sinful behaviour within a group of believers, especially an evil that escapes mention or a reckoning, he/she must feel duty-bound to expose it, yet humbly knowing they could commit the same sin. If you were an unbeliever, that would be understandable, since your core issue would have been that you do not know God. But you are a professing believer — and much more, a teacher of small group sessions or what you call "leadership training sessions" — so you are answerable to how you behave in your conduct and speech to other Christians who have witnessed an unwholesome pattern of your behaviour (1Co 5). By God’s grace, these Christians would be mature: they are beyond reproach in speech, and dignified, and are not given to a youthful lust for quarrels and argumentative spirit (2Ti 2:16,24; Titus 2), and it seems to me that you sadly lack such Christians around you who can or are willing to admonish you.

Friends, I want to encourage you, as the heat turns up, and people begin to suffocate more and more, to not be fazed by what’s happening externally around you, and to not lose focus on the important things. It is self-evident to all who can think critically that the vaccine mandate itself is a crock and a “necessity that trumps all human freedoms” (it is the argument of any tyrant who has no fear of God, and no respect for His law.). But whether you get the jab or not is not important, but trivial.
