Ep 280 Grief, Faith & Boldness: Responding to Charlie Kirk’s Death

Good morning — and thank you for joining me on a very tender episode of Mornings with Monette. Today I’m speaking from a heavy heart after the death of Charlie Kirk — a husband, father, and bold voice for the gospel among young people. I share where I was when I heard the news, what I felt, and how seeing him speak just weeks earlier has made this loss deeply personal.

This episode is a prayerful, honest conversation about sorrow, anger, and the spiritual battle we’re witnessing online and in our culture. I talk about how I’ve found comfort — Bible study, quiet time with the Lord, stepping back from social media, and worshiping with my church family — and I encourage you toward the same practices when grief weighs on you.

My prayer is that this tragedy becomes a catalyst for revival: for more courage in sharing Jesus, for deeper study of Scripture, and for loving conversations across differences. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend and join me next week on Mornings with Monette. ❤️

Are you waiting for the perfect moment to finally start living the life you were created for? In this episode of Mornings with Monette, I’m diving into what I call the “someday when” trap—the mindset that keeps us settling, stuck, and spiritually stalled.

I’ve lived it. I used to think someday when my kids were grown, someday when I had more time, someday when life slowed down… then I’d focus on my marriage, my health, my joy. But one quiet morning on my porch, I realized: someday isn’t coming unless I choose to change something today.

In this episode, I’m sharing three powerful steps to help you break free from the “good enough” rut:

  1. Identify where you're settling.

  3. Celebrate progress over perfection.
