We weren’t planning to spend a third straight week discussing Charlie Kirk and the issues surrounding his assassination, but after watching his memorial service this past Sunday, it became clear that there is more to consider.

The memorial service was something I’ve never seen. From the scale of the event (nearly 200,000 in attendance at two adjoining stadiums and an estimated viewing audience of 100M) to the notable attendees (President Trump and most of his cabinet) to above all, the proclamation of the gospel over and over again by many of the speakers.

The service was truly remarkable and worthy of our rejoicing.

TPUSA, the organization Charlie Kirk founded and led, has the video of the entire service on their YouTube page and I recommend you watch it. The first three-and-half-hours was a music concert as attendees filed in. The final four-and-a-half hours featured speaker after speaker.

The climactic message was not the final one given by President Trump but rather the penultimate by Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika. Considering the unimaginable grief of having her husband shot and killed in public 11 days earlier, considering the worldwide magnitude of the event, the content of her message and the manner in which she delivered it was one of the most impactful speeches I have ever seen. We’ll play some of her message in the final segment today.

Before we get to that, we’ll discuss the remarkable nature of this event and how God has truly worked something good and great through the assassination of Charlie Kirk. We’ll also discuss how transformative movements like this need secure boundaries lest they compromise the Word and misrepresent God.

TOPIC: How Your Church Can Avoid Mission Drift

Print-friendly transcript Guest: Matthew Fletcher, senior pastor, Webster Bible Church (NY) Last week we discussed the very troubling situation that the new president of the Southern Baptist Convention, Ed Litton, plagiarized sermons for several years from the immediate past president JD Greear.

GUEST: KATHERINE KERSTEN, senior policy fellow, Center of the American Experiment Contrary to what the mainstream media and some Evangelicals are saying about Critical Race Theory (CRT)—that it’s a “bogeyman” (that it’s made up, nothing to fear)—Christians who are paying even half attention know and see how this insidious ideology that pits [...]

Print-friendly Transcript GUESTS: Bruce and Mary Jane Wheaton (David’s parents) Our country has long commemorated one Sunday in May and in June to honor mothers and fathers. Sadly and tragically, in our day and age of social and familial transformation, mothers are now called “birthing people” (actual term from the Biden administration’s [...]

TOPIC: The Cause and Effect of Critical Race Theory Part 2 of 2

Critical Race Theory (or Critical Theory more broadly beyond race) is now the de facto worldview of the political left, academia, mainstream media, corporations, and even the military. This worldview sees everything through the Marxist prism of oppression, with white, male Christians being the source of injustice and inequality in society. CRT [...]

TOPIC: The Cause and Effect of Critical Race Theory Part 1 of 2

Every cause produces an effect. Drop a pebble in a pond (cause) and small ripples form and travel outward (effect). Likewise, ideas are causes that produce effects. Good ideas produce good effects and bad ideas bad effects. Big, unbiblical ideas are not like dropping a pebble into a pond but rather a [...]

TOPIC: How to Think and Live in an Anti-Truth Culture

GUEST: ROBERT KNIGHT, author and columnist, Washington Times Satan and unredeemed humanity have always been at war with the truth. This is because God is the source of truth, and thus to try to escape accountability to God and persuade others to do the same means one must believe and propagate lies. [...]
