If The Church doesn't go to War, The War will go to The Church - Ep. 836 - January 19, 2026

A Church service in St. Paul got interrupted by an anti-ICE protest, and the footage spread fast. In this episode of the Smith & Rowland Podcast, the guys break down what happened, why it matters, and why it shouldn’t be treated like normal politics. They call out the media angle, the Don Lemon involvement, and the tactic of using “free speech” to justify shutting down worship. They also give a direct warning to every Church in America: this model will get copied. If a congregation isn’t ready, it can lose control of the room in minutes. You’ll also hear practical guidance on what a Church can do right now, from security planning to calling law enforcement, and why worship and clear leadership matter when pressure hits. It’s not just a news story, it’s a test of nerve, order, and faith in a culture War.
