Debunking The Worst Lies Spreading About Charlie Kirk | Live Free with Josh Howerton
Live Free with Josh Howerton
Preaching Shift and Pastoral Responsibility
Josh explains his sermon strategy shift (asking 'Will God like it?'), Ezekiels watchman imagery, and sets up the cultural debunking segment with guest Sabrina Kosmas.
In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton and Carlos Erazo are joined by Paul Cunningham and special guest Sabrina Kosmas of PragerU. Together they unpack Acts 20 and explore what it means to follow Jesus with boldness today.
The conversation moves from Paul’s farewell to the Ephesian elders to debates over whether Charlie Kirk should be called a martyr. Along the way, they examine the cost of faithful witness, the need for strong church leadership, and the danger of shrinking back from declaring the whole counsel of God.
Pastor Josh also reflects on his shift in preaching. The team discusses church governance and revival moments at Lakepointe Church. Sabrina addresses cultural lies about Charlie Kirk, reminding us that while the enemy distorts and divides, the Gospel remains unstoppable. God brings fruit from tragedy, and every believer is called to finish the race with courage and faith.
