Pastor Stephen Martin and Pastor Rob McCoy share powerful testimony from Charlie Kirk's memorial service, revealing the biblical pattern of martyrdom and why faithful witness always produces revival. Drawing direct parallels to Stephen's stoning in Acts 7, Pastor Stephen explains the three results that always follow martyrdom: explosive church growth, new courageous leaders rising, and former enemies becoming brothers in Christ. Pastor Rob—who spent four days with Charlie in Korea just before his death—shares intimate stories revealing Charlie's true character: his incorruptible integrity with money, his servant heart toward waitresses and strangers, his hours of daily Scripture study, and his passion for leading people to Jesus. He addresses the conspiracy theories dividing Christians and calls believers back to biblical perspective. Charlie wasn't killed for his rhetoric or tone—he was martyred because he spoke God's truth in a world that hates God's truth. The result? 1.4 billion people watched his memorial and revival is breaking out across America. This episode will challenge you to examine your own courage, confront gossip and division, and trust God's sovereignty even when evil seems to win.
