Today we're talking about a rowdy Twitch giveaway, new developments in Russia, updates

from the World Cup, and other top news from Monday, August 7th.

Stay informed while remaining focused on Christ with the pourover.

Here's the verse of the week.

How can a young man keep his way pure?

By guarding it according to your word, Psalm 119.

Let's get started with some espresso shots.

In a live streamed giveaway gone wrong, 65 people, including 30 juveniles, left with handcuffs

instead of prizes in New York City Friday.

Social media mega star Kai Sanat, who boasts an audience of over 15 million across Twitch,

Instagram, and YouTube, told followers to meet him in Union Square Park where he would

be handing out prizes like PlayStation's and $100 gift cards.

This turned violent when a crowd of 300 swelled to a mob of thousands, and the events

host had to be quickly removed from the event for his safety.

Representatives first Sanat, who was charged with rioting, incitement, and unlawful assembly,

have issued an apology.

NYPD activated its highest level of disaster response, and three police officers were injured

in the event, which has some, like New York City Mayor Eric Adams, calling social media's

influence into question.

Everyone should continually examine what's influencing them, and as Christians, we should

also examine the influence we have over others.

Let your influence be one of hope, gentleness, and respect.
