The assassination of Charlie Kirk and the murder of a Ukrainian refugee in Charlotte have shaken many, raising urgent questions about truth, persecution, and the Christian response to growing hostility. In this episode, we reflect on Charlie Kirk’s legacy of respectful dialogue, the cost of speaking truth in today’s world, and the wisdom scripture offers in times of grief and confusion.Jesus warned that persecution would come—and history confirms it. Yet even in the face of evil, God remains sovereign. We’ll explore what it means to stand firm with conviction, to defend the vulnerable with grace, and to fix our eyes on eternity rather than fear. Turn off the noise, open God’s Word, and rediscover the peace that only Christ can provide.Psalm 5Send us a textPlease leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help improve No Sanity Required and help others grow in their faith.
