'Side Eye Bride' Relying on Faith to Fight Against Hateful Social Media Attacks

A split-second look in the direction of a screaming baby out of the corner of the bride's eye became a viral TikTok video and sparked a wave of heated debates about 'childless' weddings. Texas bride Claire Kendall Taetz now regrets posting the video, which she thought would be a lighthearted way to 'get over' the crying baby interruption at the most important event of her life. But instead, it's become a source of pain. The video has had more than 3.5 million views online, the story surfacing on Facebook, People, New York Post and more, while garnering more than three thousand comments; the majority of which are positive. But the small percentage of haters has shaken her. The comments were mean and spiteful, and some even questioning whether or not she's a 'good Christian'. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, newlywed Taetz talks about the ordeal that has shocked her to her core, while also driving her deeper into her identity in Christ, and helped along the way by the devotional "Light For Today", written by the host of this Lighthouse Faith podcast, Lauren Green.
