Welcome to a heartfelt episode of One Little Candle. Today, host Rebecca Berschwinger discusses the emotional aftermath of the tragic assassination of Christian leader, husband, father, and truth warrior, Charlie Kirk. In a world reeling from grief, anger, and confusion, Rebecca offers comfort, clarity, and a call to action for believers everywhere.

Today's episode dives deep into the true mission that Charlie embodied: not division, but loving and uniting people—even those with opposing views—through the power of civil conversation and unwavering faith. As the Christian community and the world at large process this great loss, Rebecca addresses the tough questions: Why does God allow such tragedy? How should we as followers of Christ respond in the face of persecution and darkness? And how can we turn our sorrow and fear into renewed strength and resolve?

This episode is both a tribute to Charlie and a challenge to stand firm in our faith, to become bright lights in a dark world, and to honor Charlie’s legacy by contending for truth, offering forgiveness, and refusing to let fear silence our voice.
