Controversial Pastor Greg Locke's Home Targeted in Outrageous Shooting Incident



Published:

Pastor Greg Locke, known for his fiery rhetoric and conservative activism, has been at the center of multiple controversies over the years. He first gained widespread attention in 2016 with a viral video criticizing Target's bathroom policy, and since then, his provocative stance on issues like abortion, COVID-19 restrictions, and the LGBTQ+ community has kept him in the headlines. His church has even hosted events like book burnings, where materials such as Harry Potter books and "occultic" items were set ablaze. These actions have drawn strong reactions from both his supporters and critics.

However, as divisive as Locke’s views may be, the recent shooting at his home, which could have resulted in tragedy, is undeniably outrageous. Regardless of disagreements with Locke’s positions, violence like this has no place in resolving conflicts. Firing rounds into a house where a child was present is a horrifying escalation. Such acts of violence, particularly targeted at families, should be condemned universally, regardless of one’s views on Locke's controversial past. 

Locke himself remains firm in his faith, attributing his family's safety to divine intervention and emphasizing that Psalm 91 holds true in his life, symbolizing God's protection even in such dire circumstances.

Even though I disagree with Locke's views, I pray for him.

Though not a fan or supporter of Locke, this is something that is totally unacceptable. Disagree with him if you must, but please, don't take the matter this far.  Locke has also been in the news over his churches purchase of a property in Lebanon, Tennessee that is far better for his church than the tent on the property in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. I don't know if this purchase has been finalized or not.
