Truth, Persecution, and Biblical Reflections on the Murder of Charlie Kirk
Description
đ Episode Description:
In this special episode, I respond to the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk. While I didnât follow him closely, I saw in him a man unafraid to speak truth in a culture that often rejects itâa 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.
- Jesusâ warnings that the world will hate and persecute His followers (John 15:18 , Matthew 5:10 â12).
- How history echoes in moments like thisâJohn 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.
