When Tragedy Strikes: Following Jesus in a Divided World

This video is different from my usual format. Instead of reviewing or teaching in the same way, I want to pause and process the heartbreaking events unfolding in our country. This is not about politics. It is about Jesus, His kingdom, and what it means to follow Him in the middle of violence, fear, and division. We’ll look at Scriptures that show us how Christians are called to respond—with kindness, patience, gentleness, and courage. Matthew 5 reminds us to let our light shine through good deeds. 1 Peter 3:15 calls us to answer with respect. Philippians 2 urges us to live without grumbling so that we shine as lights in a dark world. Galatians 5 points us back to the fruit of the Spirit. And Jesus Himself calls us to love our enemies in Luke 6. If you’re weary of the outrage, if you’re wondering what it looks like to follow Jesus when tragedy and anger dominate the headlines, this conversation is for you.
