Patrick confronts the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk and digs into what this act means for free speech, faith, and the raw danger that erupts when political rhetoric breeds violence. He mourns with listeners, voices the grief of a nation, and hammers home that Charlie Kirk’s courage on college campuses, defending life, truth, and family, demands not silence, but a renewed boldness; prayer, candid truth-telling, unwavering hope, even as chaos tries to steal the conversation. Patrick leaves the audience suspended between sorrow and resolve, calling out the deep wound this tragedy leaves while urging faith to keep speaking where fear would have voices silenced.
