Preacher doesn't flinch as activist points apparent gun at his head
Unfazed and unshaken.
Shocking video has been released showing the moment a pastor had an apparent gun pointed in his face by an activist – but the cool-headed preacher hardly moves a muscle.
Kevin Kihara, 37, a pastor of Christ’s Forgiveness Ministries in San Francisco, was speaking out against the transgender ideology in Santa Ana on Wednesday when the unhinged aggressor came at him, brandishing what appeared to be a firearm.
“He didn’t make a man to be a woman, he made the man to be a man,” Kihara belted out to passers-by on the California sidewalk, before adding, “He didn’t make the woman to be man, he made the woman to be a woman and this is the truth!”
The San Francisco preacher was rushed by an apparent activist after he said, “God made men to be men.” (Christ’s Forgiveness Ministries)

Kihara, who was speaking into a mic on a sidewalk, then calmly looks and sees the person – who is out of shot – fast approaching.
“What are you going to come attack me now?” Kihara says bluntly.
That’s when the emotionally charged person — dressed in denim overalls and a black and white striped T-shirt – walks up to him and pulls out what appears to be a large handgun and points it in Kihara’s face.
“I should,” the tattooed person responds.
But Kihara barely flinches, holding the mic and then blasting back at the menace, exclaiming: “Hey man, it’s up to you if you want to pull that on me. God bless you.”
The furious person then turns away and marches into the distance yelling profanities at the church leader.
“Shut the f— up!” the suspect screams, fleeing the scene.

Unfazed, Kihara keeps preaching.
“So you just threatened me with a gun,” he says. “You just pulled a gun on my face. Man, Lord have mercy on you,” he continued. “This means you don’t even know who you are. I still love you though. Even you pulled a gun on me, I still love you, I still bless you.”
The video, which was initially posted to Christ’s Forgiveness Ministries’ YouTube channel, generated plenty of responses, with most commenters heaping praise on Kihara’s coolness in the face of a potential life and death situation.
“I’m thrilled your [sic] still alive. You’re super courageous. I pray for your protection,” wrote one commenter. “What a legend,” wrote another.
It’s unclear if the gun was real, with some online sleuths arguing it was a C02 BB gun, or air pistol. It’s not known if Kihara reported the incident to police.

Immediately following the incident, a woman walks up to Kihara and argues with him over preaching about trans people.
“God does not appreciate what you’re doing right now,” she says, among other points.
“He knows that I’m preaching the truth,” Kihara says. Their back and forth lasts for about four minutes before she eventually walks off.

The Seattle Seahawks are the defending champions following a fantastic run in 2025 which resulted in the second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history. Despite this, they’re not the favorites to win their division in 2026.
Instead, the Los Angeles Rams are the hot team, thanks in large part to the addition of Myles Garrett. The two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year does give them a huge boost, but the Seahawks know they can still win their division once again.
Here we dive into three reasons to believe that will be the case for Mike Macdonald and his team.
3. Passing attack will be improved
With Klint Kubiak leaving to take the head coaching job with the Las Vegas Raiders, Brian Fleury is set to take over as the offensive coordinator in Seattle. Fleury spent the past seven years with the San Francisco 49ers and was most recently their run game coordinator and tight ends coach.
He’s expected to feature a run-heavy offense once again, but that doesn’t mean the Seahawks aerial attack won’t be a problem for opposing teams. With Sam Darnold entering his second season with the team, he’s going to have far more comfort with his teammates. As Seahawks On SI’s Russell Baxter wrote, he’s also unsatisfied with his performance in the Super Bowl and wants to improve in 2026.
His motivation, along with the presence of Jaxson Smith-Njigba is enough for the offense to be as dangerous as they were last year. Rashid Shaheed having a full offseason with the team is a reason to believe they can be even better.
2. The run game will be a strength once again
Losing Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III in free agency was a blow, but the Seahawks made sure to enter the new season with just as much firepower in the ground game. Even with Zach Charbonnet still recovering from a torn ACL, the Seahawks have a strong unit.
Led by rookie Jadarian Price, Seattle also has Emanuel Wilson and George Holani. There might not be many proven options, but as Seahawks On SI’s Michael Hanich writes, the coaching staff trusts this unit.
Offensive coordinator Brian Fleury had success leading the rushing attack in San Francisco last year and his defensive background has him favoring a more violent and punishing rushing attack. That will allow the Seahawks to wear teams down with the ground game, even without Walker.
1. Mike Macdonald continues to build the defense to fit his vision
During his first season as head coach, Mike Macdonald led Seattle to the 11th best scoring defense, which was a massive jump from 25th the prior year. They shot up the leaderboard again in 2025, finishing with the No. 1 scoring defense, which is what led the way during their title run.
Macdonald made those improvements by building the defense to his preference. They have trusted veterans on the defensive line and have built a strong nickel defense with defensive back Nick Emmanwori as one of his key pieces.
This offseason, he added another versatile defensive back in Bud Clark, a speedy pass-rusher in Dante Fowler Jr., and a big-bodied cornerback in Julian Neal. Macdonald also allowed Boye Mafe to leave while putting Derick Hall in position to take on a larger load. All these moves have given them a defense that Macdonald can turn into an even better one than we saw last year.
