Listen Later

Segment 1

• Cities Church in Minnesota was invaded mid-service by protesters. Are you ready if it happens to your church?

• Government is called to protect, but when it doesn’t, the church must be prepared to respond wisely.

• Are public disruptions and protests legal in sanctuaries? Here’s what Christians need to know.

Segment 2

• Inside info from Cities Church: they avoided escalating tension, showing restraint.

• Yes, your church has legal protection under the FACE Act.

• Should pastors confront protesters directly?

Segment 3

• Document the disruption, but avoid emotional confrontation.

• Have a plan: ushers, kids’ ministry, security—every team should know exactly what to do.

• Parents must be in the loop so that no one is confused if the occasion comes.

Segment 4: The Blessing and Cost of Persecution

• 1 Peter reminds us that persecution isn’t a curse—it’s a blessing and calling.

• Persecution, though painful, draws us closer to Christ as we see the suffering he underwent for us.

• Being hated for Christ’s sake is a sign of God’s favor. Prepare your heart to suffer well.
