Truth, Persecution, and Biblical Reflections on the Murder of Charlie Kirk
š Episode Description:In this special episode, I respond to the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk. While I didnāt follow him closely, I saw in him a man unafraid to speak truth in a culture that often rejects itāa man who claimed Christ and lived with what seemed to be a prophetic call to confront wrongs in society.
Together we reflect on:
Why truth-tellers often become targets of hate and violence.
Jesusā warnings that the world will hate and persecute His followers (John 15:18, Matthew 5:10ā12).
How history echoes in moments like thisāJohn the Baptist beheaded for speaking truth, Stephen stoned for proclaiming the gospel.
Why persecution, as tragic as it is, often emboldens the Church to stand even stronger for truth.
How we can grieve with compassion while choosing courage, mercy, and hope.
This is a pastoral reflection meant to comfort, challenge, and remind us: light still shines in the darkness, and truth still matters.
