In honor of the anniversary of the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk, I’m re-sharing a lightly edited version of the episode from this time last year when I let him "take the mike", as he discussed many of his thoughts on China in detail on his own show just a week before he was killed. 

After a lengthier-than-expected introduction, we work through Kirk’s China takes one by one, commenting along the way. It's obvious that Charlie understood China much better than most. I learned a few things myself, especially from the second-to-last clip.

Note: Don’t miss the Man Rampant intro/outro, and the final sad segment!

Luke 10, verse 2, the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Talk again soon!

Will people be judged for failing to use what God has entrusted to them? In Matthew 25, Jesus tells the parable of the talents—a sobering picture of servants awaiting the return of their master.

Pastor Brian Gunter continues his series through the Olivet Discourse, examining what this parable teaches about faithfulness, stewardship, and our responsibility while we await Christ’s return. God has entrusted His people with gifts, opportunities, resources, and time—and He expects His servants to put them to work for His kingdom.

What does it mean to bury your talent? Why was the unfaithful servant condemned? And what does this warning mean for Christians today?

The Christian life is not one of passive waiting. Christ calls His people to faithful, fruitful service until He comes.

In today’s episode, David dives into insights he gained from his interview with Jason Farley. He explores the assessments Mr. Farley made regarding the current Christian mindset in sphere of political and legal advocacy. Most importantly, David offers an idea for expanding the Christian political imagination beyond doing business-as-usual better than the other side.

Tune into this episode of Leadership Now with Dr. Aaron Rock as he reflects on the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11th, 2001. He discuses his perspective on the events, and some lessons that should be learned from it.

On this week’s Prison Pulpit I am joined by Andrew Rappaport, host of the Rapp Report podcast (among other things) to discuss praying for China and equipping the Chinese church. This segment is part of a longer conversation Andrew and I had the other day. You can listen to the rest on his podcast (see the link below) or on my podcast during subsequent episodes. I’m off to Manila for a few days. God bless!
