Ideas Have Consequences Fighting for Truth in Dark Times: Reflections on Charlie Kirk's Legacy
Episode Summary:
The assassination of Charlie Kirk is a sobering reminder of how dark our cultural moment has become. Is there still room for civil discourse about what is good and true? What has led to such a loss of respect for human life?
Charlie modeled courage and moral clarity. True Christian love means speaking truth against lies that dehumanize, even when it costs us. Our battle is not against people but against destructive worldviews. Bad ideas have real victims, but the gospel equips us to tear down systems built on lies with persistent truth-telling.
The church needs to engage today’s cultural battles like Christ, with clarity, compassion, and courage, aiming to set the captives free, no matter the personal cost. Join us as we explore how Christians can confront false ideologies while still loving those imprisoned by them.
