My Thoughts On Charlie Kirk


Listen Later

In this episode, we will dive deep into the events surrounding the assassination of Charlie Kirk — not just the headlines, but what believers can learn from his life, his faith, and his example.

Charlie Kirk wasn’t perfect (none of us are), but his clarity of purpose and devotion to Christ left a mark. From his candid admission of past struggles with pornography to his unwavering conviction that faith comes before politics, Charlie’s life points us toward something bigger: living every day with a North Star that glorifies God.

We'll walk through:

  • Why Charlie’s openness about past battles matters for men wrestling with sin

  • How purpose and calling give strength to overcome temptation

  • Why true faith always leads to righteous action, not passive religion

  • The descent, turning point, and ascent of Psalm 73 — and what it teaches us when evil seems to flourish

  • Why nearness to God is the only true cure for sin and despair

    This is both a sober reflection and a rallying cry: don’t waste your life sitting on the sidelines. Draw near to God, take your eyes off the world, and live boldly for Christ.

    Key Takeaways
    • Faith and Purpose Crush Sin: Freedom doesn’t come by willpower alone but through Christ and a clear sense of calling.

    • Psalm 73’s Lesson: The turning point comes when we stop comparing ourselves to others and fix our eyes on God.

    • Your Life Has to Count: We weren’t saved to coast into heaven on a “featherbed.” True faith produces works that glorify God.

    • Nearness to God Is the Cure: As Spurgeon said, “The greater our nearness to God, the less we are affected by the attractions and distractions of earth.”

      Scripture Anchors
      • Matthew 28 — The Great Commission as our North Star

      • Psalm 73 — From envy and doubt to joy in God alone

      • James 2:17 — Faith without works is dead

        Closing Challenge

        Stop living defensively. Stop hiding. Lift your eyes to God, draw near, and live with eternity in mind.
