The Lindsay Clancy Case:
When Empathy Overshadows the Victims

Guest: MISSY ROEPNACK

UPCOMING PROGRAM: October 3, 2026

UPCOMING PROGRAM: OCTOBER 3, 2026

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: The Importance of Keeping a Good Conscience

Fight the good fight, keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.  1 Timothy 1:18-19 The dictionary defines the conscience as: “the inner sense of what is right or wrong in one's conduct or motives.” God gives each person a conscience, an inner [...]

TOPIC: Are You Awake to the Woke Movement?

I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or [...]

I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; 30 and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.  Acts 20:29 As our guest Justin Peters said two weeks ago on The Christian Worldview, there are [...]

TOPIC: The Hands That Raise the Children Influence the World

Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.  Ephesians 6:4 Christians spend a lot of time working toward political change, whether through issue advocacy or electing certain candidates. Christians also spend a lot of time trying to “redeem the culture”, [...]
