What happens when political activism crosses into the sanctuary?

In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I examine the disruptive protest at a Minneapolis church where activists stormed a worship service to target an associate pastor connected to ICE. What followed wasn't just a political controversy—it raised serious legal, constitutional, and theological questions that Christians can no longer ignore.

I walk through where free speech actually ends, why churches are not public forums, and how disrupting worship crosses a line both legally and biblically. More importantly, I explore how Christians should respond when hostility toward the faith moves from disagreement into intimidation and disruption.

This episode isn't about fear-mongering. It's about discernment. Scripture is clear that persecution doesn't always begin with prisons—it often starts with public shaming, false accusations, and interference with worship.

💭 A different way to reflect this week:

· Am I prepared to respond to hostility with conviction and gentleness?

· Do I recognize the difference between bold faith and belligerent behavior—even when I agree with the cause?

📌 In this episode, I unpack:

✅ Why churches are private property—not public protest zones

✅ Where the First Amendment actually draws the line on free speech

✅ How Scripture defines persecution—and why this incident fits the pattern

✅ The difference between Christian boldness and political belligerence

✅ Why "Jesus flipping tables" is often misused to justify chaos

✅ How believers are called to respond without surrendering truth

✅ Practical steps churches should take to protect worship without escalating conflict

📢 TAKE ACTION:

🙏 Pray for churches facing increasing public hostility

📖 Strengthen your theological understanding of persecution and faithfulness

🛡 Encourage your church leaders to prepare wisely—not fearfully

🗣 Speak truth with courage, clarity, and restraint
