Speaking the truth to bullies

In the BBC documentary Fr Brian D'Arcy, the turbulent priest, one of Brian's friends speaks about Brian being bullied by the Church

May today's 4-course Bible plan give courage to Brian and others in the same situation:

Course one from Judith 6:
The story of how Achior courageously spoke the truth to the bully Holofernes...and was punished for his trouble

Course two from Psalms 35-37:
Save me Lord from people who slander me.
Especially in times of trouble I commit my life to you

Course three from Hebrews 13:
Don't be led astray by strange doctrines.
Join the rejected Jesus outside the city

Course four from John 1:
John the Baptist courageously witnessing to Jesus
and calling on people to straighten out crooked ways
