This is Morgan Lee, the assistant editor at Christiani today, and you're listening to Quick to Listen.

Each week, we go beyond hashtags and hot takes and set

aside time to explore the reality behind a major cultural event. And I'm Caitlin Beatty. I'm the print

managing editor of Christianity today. I am Morgan's co-host this week. And we have the pleasure

of having with us our guest Jonathan Brooks. He's the senior pastor of Canaan Community Church on the

south side of Chicago. Hi, Jonathan. Hi, how are you, ladies? We're doing excellent. Thanks so much for

being with us. Thanks for having me. It's really great to have a fellow Chicago in here. I'm glad that

you were able to join us today. So most controversies, as we know,

come with complexity. They come with tension. They come with a lot of fraught opinions. They come

sometimes with people even yelling at each other. And every week, we try to acknowledge that there

are these tensions and there are these dividing lines and there is polarization. But then we're

trying to work out as best we can how Christians can respond to this. So one of these issues that I think has increasingly polarized us in many ways

are protests. And I'd really like us to talk about all different types of protests this week. I'll get

this and get into this a little bit more later. But I'm first wondering if everyone can give me in two

sentences or less for a little gut check.

140 characters.

You know the drill about how they feel about the term protest, the word protest, protests in and of themselves.

And Caitlin, if you could just start that for us.
