Community & Justice, Freedom & Love with John Linc Stine

Feb 11, 2026    Kent Reeder, John Linc Stine

John Linc Stine - a lifelong Minnesotan, a career public servant in Minnesota bureaucracy, a father and grandfather, and a Christian - graciously and thoughtfully shares his experience and perspective on the events in the Twin Cities as ICE activity causes continue interruption to day-to-day community life. Linc is a long-time friend of mine (Pastor Kent Reeder at Illume) and I wanted to be able to talk with him to give folks here in Seattle an on-the-ground perspective from someone who is thoughtful and considerate. I hope you benefit from the conversation, I know I did.
