Social Media Influencer - Uff

I want to start by saying that we all need to be supporting our local food shelves.  Now to the post... I’ve had a series of videos popping up on my social media feeds by a content creator named Nikalie who is doing so-called ‘social experiments’.   She pretends to be a mom needing formula with a recording of a baby in the background.   Here are two examples of many.   Watch before you read on.   https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMsrQGtb/ and https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMsrvBgb/ You will notice that in the comments, people are outraged.   I’m irritated too, but for different reasons.   If Nikalie runs across this post, I hope she calls my church because I want to explain that, without knowing it, she is doing more harm than good.   I truly think she has good intentions, but she is lacking some context. The most common thing you will hear in these videos is that the churches refer the Nikalie to a food shelf or other organization that is set up to meet ...

Feeling some big feels

When ICE was operating far away, it was too easy to look away. But now they’re here in our neighborhoods, on our streets harassing our residents, friends, neighbors, co‑workers. A new resident, Renee Nicole Good, is dead. These images aren’t from 200 miles away. They’re from 15 miles away. From 10 miles away. From 5 miles away. Target workers, U.S. citizens, forced to the floor and cuffed. An Uber driver standing his ground because he knew his rights. High schoolers and teachers shoved outside of their own school.

And I know I have to watch how that comes out because my people deserve a steady, non-anxious presence from me. I can be an intense person. But right now, all I can offer is the truth: this is horrifying. ICE and DHS are acting with cruelty and ...

By: Rev. Kelly Lamon Some might ask, “Is it ok for Christians to protest?”  A better question is, “Why and how should Christians protest?” Minnesota is facing a human rights crisis. Good church people have many views on immigration, pathways to citizenship, border control, and amnesty, so we could debate policy all day. But one thing is not up for debate: Christians must speak out when our neighbors are being harmed. We are seeing: • Children detained to trap their parents • An elderly man hauled from his home in his underwear after they pointed guns at the family • Teenagers restrained at their Target jobs while trying to retrieve their papers, then abandoned miles away in tears • A disabled woman dragged from her car after receiving mixed instructions • A man pinned beneath four agents while one knees him in the head repeatedly and another worries more about being filmed than stopping the violence. Jesus did not stay silent when things weren’t right .  His e...
