In this episode, we respond to the tragic passing of Charlie Kirk and the conversation it has stirred about the role of pastors in addressing current events. How should shepherds decide when to speak to cultural moments from the pulpit—and when to remain silent? We walk through biblical and pastoral criteria for engaging with timely issues, the tension between proclaiming the timeless gospel and speaking to contemporary concerns, and the dangers of political polarization.We also reflect on the weight of social media backlash, the importance of prayer and elder counsel, and the wisdom Scripture provides for navigating these decisions. Along the way, we explore how preaching differs from other church contexts—like small groups, newsletters, or online platforms—and offer encouragement to younger pastors who may feel pressured to comment on every trending story.Ultimately, our aim is to help pastors and church members think biblically, wisely, and pastorally about engaging with cultural events in a way that honors Christ and serves the church well.
