In the wake of today’s tragic shooting in Minneapolis involving an ICE agent, where a woman lost her life amid a highly charged encounter, I urge everyone—residents, protesters, law enforcement, and officials—to step back from anger and division.

Violence and loss of life serve no one. Inflamed rhetoric will help no one.

Let our leaders choose de-escalation over confrontation, dialogue over destruction, and shared humanity over division. Minneapolis has endured enough pain. May cooler heads prevail, and may God guide us through this difficult moment.

Let’s pray right now in Jesus name for those impacted, law enforcement and our entire community.

Setting up my SOAP journal for 2026!

As we head into a new year, I’m choosing to be intentional about time in God’s Word. There’s something powerful about starting the year expectant—believing God will speak, guide and transform us as we seek Him daily. Let’s make the most of this year and stay open to all that God is going to do.
