Resources for Right Now is a living resource crafted amid the January 2026 escalation of violent immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In this collection, we hope to equip the church’s leaders with diverse ways to speak into this moment, in sermon prompts, short illustrative stories, songs new and old, and liturgy and prayers. 

If this makes you uncomfortable, good. Let that discomfort move you toward action, toward solidarity, toward truth. This is not a moment to look away.

The prophets offer us a glimpse of what could be, but visions are not guarantees. They demand something of us.

Maybe that’s the point. Maybe the story was never about the whale, but about a God who dares to ask us things we don’t yet know how to answer.

It is only when our eyes see the fullness of suffering and sin do we see the ways in which God moves on our behalf.

We’re less effective when we imagine ourselves as heroes helping others rather than building accountable relationships.

Coronavirus and violence are not just one thing after another for anyone, but especially for people of color.
