DISCLOSURE: While a 2019 video of Charlie Kirk and Rod Smith shows Charlie defending gay Christianity, a 2024 video suggests that Charlie's views on this issue took a turn. In 2024 he clearly condemns the practice and quotes Leviticus 18 an 20 while doing so. I took the episode down until I located evidence that Charlie held the orthodox Christian view on homosexuality.

In this episode of The Reformed Rant,I take a few moments to reflect on the life, influence, and legacy of Charlie Kirk and his work with Turning Point USA. With his recent passing, emotions are high, and responses have been pouring in from across the political and religious spectrum.I want to praise God for the good that has come—and will continue to come—through Charlie’s bold contributions to the conservative movement and to the broader Church of God. His courage to speak truth in thepublic square and engage young minds in the cultural arena is not to be taken lightly. At the same time, I would like to urge you, the listener, to keep your critical thinking cap firmlyin place. As we reflect on someone’s legacy, we must be careful not to let our affections cloud our discernment. Affirm the good—but do not ignore the concerns. Truth never calls us to compromise. And in honoring those who have gone before us, we must always remember that our highest allegiance is toChrist and His Word. So join me as I offer my thoughts—not just in tribute, but in truth.
