We cannot be passive or outsource discipleship. The mission of God remains, and each of us is called to love, to act, and to go.
The news of Charlie Kirk’s passing hit me surprisingly hard. I didn’t know him personally, but like many of you, I felt the ripple of his life’s work. Beneath the headlines and debates about his politics was a man, a husband, a father, a brother in Christ, whose absence leaves a gaping hole. My first reaction wasn’t about movements or media coverage; it was sadness for his family and for the countless young people who looked to him for courage, conviction, and clarity.
There was something undeniable about his life: he was willing to do something. He wasn’t content to sit on the sidelines while culture shifted. He didn’t retreat into comfort or convenience. Instead, he leaned in with faith, passion and courage. That alone is worth honoring, no matter where you stand politically.
What struck me most about Charlie was that he put his faith first. He never hid his love for Jesus, even when it cost him something. He believed in the hope of the Gospel and was unashamed to share it with a broken, searching world. Say what you will about his style or strategy, but he was clear about the most important thing: our only true hope is found in Jesus Christ.
