Satanists descended upon Boston, Massachusetts, late last month for "SatanCon 2023," a massive gathering featuring devilish imagery and seemingly progressive political platforms.

Protests unsurprisingly erupted around the much-publicized event, though something else also unfolded: some Christians strategically walked around, interacted with attendees and others who had gathered, and shared God's love.
