The assassination of Charlie Kirk marks a pivotal moment for Christians navigating an increasingly hostile cultural landscape. This sobering meditation examines what it means to speak biblical truth when the consequences can be deadly.What does it look like to shepherd hearts and minds through tragedy? Beginning with reflections on the pastoral calling, we explore how Kirk—a husband, father, and brother in Christ—lived his faith by challenging progressive ideologies on college campuses. Though vilified as hateful for his biblical perspectives on gender, family, and morality, Kirk consistently offered open microphones to those who disagreed with him. The stark contrast between words labeled as "violence" and the actual violence that took his life reveals the dangerous progression of critical theory's oppressor/oppressed framework in our society.The evidence couldn't be clearer: biblical ethics promote human flourishing. From the alarming 4,400% rise in transgender identification among teenage girls to research showing that theologically conservative Christians report the happiest relationships and most fulfilling intimate lives, data confirms what Scripture has always taught. Yet speaking these truths comes with increasing cost in a culture determined to silence Christian voices.Some suggest Christians should focus on "faith" while avoiding "politics," but this creates a false dichotomy Kirk himself rejected. "Charlie's faith informed his politics and his faith at work got him killed." James reminds us that faith without works is dead, and biblical faith necessarily leads us to expose darkness, confront falsehood, and speak truth with both clarity and charity. Will you join us in carrying forward this witness? On September 28th, our church hosts Q&A Sundays, where you can bring any question about biblical perspectives on today's issues. No qualifications needed, no apologies for truth—just honest conversation about the God who designed us to flourish according to His wisdom.
