Former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were fatally shot in their home early Saturday morning in what Gov. Tim Walz called a “politically motivated assassination.” State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were also shot multiple times in their home about nine miles away. In tumultuous times, we can be frightened into withdrawing from the news and the challenges of our day, or we can ask in every situation: How is God “reaching out” to us? Since I believe he redeems all he allows, I believe we can ask how he could redeem even this moment and pain, and how we can join him.

Israel’s preemptive strikes on Iran targeted nuclear facilities, missile depots, and top military leaders, signaling a dramatic shift away from diplomacy. Prime Minister Netanyahu warned, “If we don’t act now, there will not be another generation.” As the conflict escalates, one question matters most: How should we pray in moments like this? The answer might surprise you—and change the way you approach every prayer from here on.

An Air India plane with more than two hundred people on board has crashed near the airport in India’s western city of Ahmedabad, officials said this morning. The flight was scheduled to depart at 3:40 a.m. ET. The plane was taking off and was headed to London’s Gatwick airport when it crashed in a densely populated civilian area, causing a massive fire with billowing black smoke. The Christian faith offers a hope in the face of mortality found nowhere else, a way of seeing death and life that redeems the former and embraces the latter. This hope was expressed long ago in a surprising way that is still powerfully relevant today.

Mayor Karen Bass imposed an 8 p.m. curfew last night for downtown Los Angeles as anti-ICE protests continued in the city. She did so “to stop the vandalism, stop the looting,” noting that twenty-three businesses were looted Monday night. Meanwhile, in a televised address, California Gov. Gavin Newsom condemned President Trump’s deployment of the military to quell the protests as an assault on democracy. More protests are planned for today in Seattle, St. Louis, Indianapolis, and other cities. By Monday, organizers had scheduled demonstrations in nearly every major city. Who is behind them, and how can we pray for our country today?

Israel has confirmed that a body extracted by their forces in a southern Gaza tunnel is that of Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar. The brother of Oct. 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar, he was killed in a May 13 airstrike as he hid under the European Hospital in Khan Younis. “We found a military base under a hospital,” said the company commander who discovered the body. His statement forms a descriptive metaphor for my article this morning as we discuss the rising spread of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Los Angeles yesterday, blocking off a major freeway and setting self-driving vehicles on fire, after President Trump deployed National Guard troops to the city. Local law enforcement used tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash bangs to control the crowd. Last night, the police department declared all of downtown LA to be an “unlawful assembly,” ordering demonstrators to leave the area immediately. The good news is that there is a way to resolve this “great difficulty,” one as available to us as our next prayer.

Thursday afternoon’s exchange between the world’s most powerful leader and the world’s richest man continues to dominate headlines this morning. The break between President Trump and Elon Musk has been brewing for a while, but it escalated in recent days as Musk took to X to criticize Trump’s signature legislation. However, their recent history and ideological differences on other subjects do paint a more detailed picture of how their competing interests grew to what could now be irreconcilable differences. And what we saw Thursday afternoon offers a stark warning for each of us today.

Nearly thirty million more US adults are following Jesus today than was the case just four years ago, according to Barna. Their CEO, David Kinnaman, called this “the clearest trend we’ve seen in more than a decade pointing to spiritual renewal.” He notes that this movement is being led especially by “younger generations.” How can you and I partner with Christ to become more like him? We discuss four steps on partnering with Christ we can take today to become more like him.

Ukrainian intelligence agents launched 117 attack drones last Sunday from trucks covertly placed near Russian air bases. Their so-called “Spider’s Web” operation struck 34 percent of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers, destroying what Ukraine claimed to be $7 billion worth of Russian equipment. According to President Zelensky, the “Spider’s Web” attack took “one year, six months, and nine days from the start of planning to effective execution.” The future is unknown but in the hands of a known God. Will you trust him today?
