The shocking death of Charlie Kirk has become a prophetic moment for America, revealing the deep spiritual sickness festering beneath our national divide. But what if this tragedy could become the catalyst for something greater than another round of political warfare?

In this urgent and timely episode, I explore how our responses to this event—from celebration to politicization to calls for retaliation—expose how far we've strayed from the way of Jesus. The political left and right have become two sides of the same broken coin, both intoxicated with fear, outrage, and idolatry. Most disturbingly, many church leaders have exchanged the language of the kingdom for the language of war, forgetting that Jesus never called us to take up the sword but to carry our cross.

The kingdom of God offers a third option entirely—not left, not right, not compromise, but the radical, subversive way of Jesus. This path requires courage without bloodlust, boldness without hatred, and truth without vengeance. Throughout history, we've seen that when a prophetic voice is silenced—from John the Baptist to Martin Luther King Jr.—it doesn't end the movement but amplifies it, especially when that movement is built on nonviolence and love rather than retaliation.

As messengers, entrepreneurs, and builders, we face a crucial choice: Will we use our influence to echo the cultural chaos or to bring kingdom clarity? Will we be burners who spread fear and division, or builders who create solutions that heal? Your business can be a weapon of peace, your voice an instrument of healing, your wisdom a seed of revival.

The Jesus revolution America desperately needs won't start in Washington—it starts with you and me choosing to embody a different way. Share this message with someone who needs to hear that there's hope beyond the broken extremes of our political landscape. Together, let's build something that outlasts the outrage.
