| Charlie Kirk: The Vision Continues | September 28, 2025

>> i've got one response. i got just one verse. with my arms
00:00:03.096 --> 00:00:12.472
Stretched wide. i will one of you. so i throw my hand, praise
00:00:12.472 --> 00:00:24.151
You again and again. cause all that i have is all. lord, all
00:00:24.151 --> 00:00:36.997
You. know is not love i've nothing else before you. except
00:00:36.997 --> 00:00:46.640
For a heart. singing all love. all.
00:00:46.640 --> 00:01:02.122
>> september 21st, 2025 will be a day that lori and i will
00:01:02.122 --> 00:01:07.761
Remember, probably for the rest of our lives. we were near
00:01:07.761 --> 00:01:13.333
State farm stadium at about 530 in the morning. there were tens
00:01:13.333 --> 00:01:20.240
Of thousands of people approaching and trying to get
00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:25.979
Into the charlie kirk memorial service. as we got in and we
00:01:25.979 --> 00:01:31.718
Started into the arena, i can't tell you. i know what we were
00:01:31.718 --> 00:01:39.593
Experiencing. was it a political event? was it a
00:01:39.593 --> 00:01:43.530
Memorial service? all i know is that there were tens of
00:01:43.530 --> 00:01:47.100
Thousands of people, and there was an attempt to start a
00:01:47.100 --> 00:01:54.341
Worship service. so what i feel was one of the most critical
00:01:54.341 --> 00:02:00.280
Times that had happened all morning was as the song
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:07.854
Gratitude was finishing. there was a moment when all of a
00:02:07.854 --> 00:02:12.325
Sudden, brandon lake decided to kind of take command of that
00:02:12.325 --> 00:02:18.398
Room. that was very busy. a lot of people moving, a lot of
00:02:18.398 --> 00:02:24.237
Talking, a lot of phones, a lot of videos. and all of a sudden,
00:02:24.237 --> 00:02:30.243
The main thing became the main thing. i will always remember
00:02:30.243 --> 00:02:36.583
The moment in which brandon lake said, all right, everybody,
00:02:36.583 --> 00:02:41.454
It's time to focus. i think that moment changed largely.
00:02:41.454 --> 00:02:48.228
The next seven hours because we started focusing on what was
00:02:48.228 --> 00:02:55.502
The most important thing of that day in the charlie kirk
00:02:55.502 --> 00:03:00.240
Memorial, the name and the person of jesus christ.
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:08.114
>> can we sing this chorus one more time? i know a lot of us
00:03:08.114 --> 00:03:12.152
Are on the phones and a lot of us are taking this in. but if
00:03:12.152 --> 00:03:16.089
We could have one moment with all of our attention, pointing
00:03:16.089 --> 00:03:19.392
To the one who created us, who loves us the most, and nothing
00:03:19.392 --> 00:03:23.430
That you could do could ever make him love you any less, any
00:03:23.430 --> 00:03:26.700
More. can we give him just about 30s of our undivided
00:03:26.700 --> 00:03:30.203
Attention? attention as we sing this chorus. with our hands to
00:03:30.203 --> 00:03:34.107
The heavens today. surrendering everything that we're feeling
00:03:34.107 --> 00:03:37.510
That we're facing, that we're wrestling with. knowing that he
00:03:37.510 --> 00:03:41.281
Is sovereign. he is higher. we can trust him. come on, let's
00:03:41.281 --> 00:03:45.352
Worship him here. every voice, every hand. you take it away.
00:03:45.352 --> 00:03:50.223
>> so i throw my hands and praise.
00:03:50.223 --> 00:03:56.029
>> you again.
00:03:56.029 --> 00:04:00.066
>> i am.
00:04:00.066 --> 00:04:11.378
>> i know it's not my i. nothing else.
00:04:12.212 --> 00:04:21.955
>> see us. you are.
00:04:21.955 --> 00:04:29.462
>> singing one more time.
00:04:29.462 --> 00:04:32.198
>> so i throw my hand. praise you again and again. all that i
00:04:32.198 --> 00:04:43.209
Have is your heart lay you. are our. and i know it's not.
00:04:43.209 --> 00:05:02.729
>> and our singing. we are.
00:05:03.363 --> 00:05:21.314
>> only in america. is it possible to say. you know what?
00:05:22.482 --> 00:05:26.086
I don't like the way the country is going and to do
00:05:26.086 --> 00:05:30.557
Something about it. take that risk. take that leap of faith.
00:05:30.557 --> 00:05:34.260
Stay involved, trust god and act obediently. romans 12 two
00:05:34.260 --> 00:05:39.699
Verse that god will use all things, all things for good for
00:05:39.699 --> 00:05:45.004
Those who love him. it's bigger than you. i want you to
00:05:45.004 --> 00:05:48.441
Remember that it is bigger than you. it's bigger than me. you
00:05:48.441 --> 00:05:52.412
Are here to make somebody else's life better. the pursuit
00:05:52.412 --> 00:05:56.015
Of liberty and freedom. you know what gives me strength?
00:05:56.015 --> 00:06:00.553
The hundreds of thousands of you that say, charlie, keep
00:06:00.553 --> 00:06:04.190
Going. first corinthians five and 15. so that's all pretty
00:06:04.190 --> 00:06:08.294
Amazing evidence. not just biblical evidence, but extra
00:06:08.294 --> 00:06:11.364
Biblical evidence that jesus christ was a real person. he
00:06:11.364 --> 00:06:14.734
Lived a perfect life. he was crucified, died, and rose on
00:06:14.734 --> 00:06:18.638
The third day. and he is lord and god of all.
00:06:18.638 --> 00:07:02.549
>> we were privileged to be there, along with over tens of
00:07:03.716 --> 00:07:07.086
Thousands of people, and the atmosphere was just incredible,
00:07:07.086 --> 00:07:11.424
With emotions shifting from joy at the accomplishments of one
00:07:11.424 --> 00:07:15.295
Young man to sorrow at his abrupt and violent passing.
00:07:15.295 --> 00:07:18.731
That sorrow reminded us that while charlie kirk was a
00:07:18.731 --> 00:07:22.535
National figure known to so many, he was also a husband and
00:07:22.535 --> 00:07:26.306
He was a father.
00:07:26.306 --> 00:07:28.608
>> charlie's widow, erica, gave an incredible address, but she
00:07:28.608 --> 00:07:33.379
Was not alone in the beautiful remembrances of tributes to
00:07:33.379 --> 00:07:38.785
Charlie due to the stature and influence of charlie kirk, the
00:07:38.785 --> 00:07:43.089
Top leaders of our government were in attendance and many
00:07:43.089 --> 00:07:47.227
Spoke in the service, including president donald trump.
00:07:47.227 --> 00:07:54.167
>> charles james kirk was heinously murdered by a
00:07:54.167 --> 00:08:00.273
Radicalized, cold blooded monster for speaking the truth
00:08:00.273 --> 00:08:04.210
That was in his heart. he was violently killed because he
00:08:04.210 --> 00:08:09.516
Spoke for freedom and justice for god and country, for reason
00:08:09.516 --> 00:08:14.487
And for common sense. he was assassinated because he lived
00:08:14.487 --> 00:08:20.126
Bravely. he led boldly, and he argued brilliantly without
00:08:20.126 --> 00:08:26.266
Apology. he did what was right for our nation as president.
00:08:26.266 --> 00:08:32.038
Many people asked me for things, but charlie was one of the few
00:08:32.038 --> 00:08:35.441
Who always gave more than he took. he was a giver, much more
00:08:35.441 --> 00:08:41.614
Than a taker. he was interested in persuading everyone to the
00:08:41.614 --> 00:08:48.221
Ideas and principles he believed were good, right and
00:08:48.221 --> 00:08:52.458
True. before each appearance, he prayed these words, god used
00:08:52.458 --> 00:08:58.364
Me for your will always said the same thing use me for your
00:08:58.364 --> 00:09:03.169
Will. and i just want to say, we love him and he's looking
00:09:03.169 --> 00:09:08.274
Down at us right now and he's saying, wow, that's a great
00:09:08.274 --> 00:09:12.879
Crowd. he's saying, that's a great crowd. and it's a great
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:21.387
Crowd of patriots. but that's why i will soon award charlie
00:09:21.387 --> 00:09:27.427
The nation's highest civilian honor, the presidential medal
00:09:27.427 --> 00:09:31.130
Of freedom. it's the highest civilian honor. we will carry
00:09:31.130 --> 00:09:37.971
Forward the torch of liberty that charlie kirk held so proud
00:09:37.971 --> 00:09:41.608
And so high. he was so proud. and he did hold that torch high.
00:09:41.608 --> 00:09:47.347
We will never, ever let it fail. we will never let it fail. but
00:09:47.347 --> 00:09:52.418
We're going to raise it higher than ever before. it's going to
00:09:52.418 --> 00:09:57.390
Be raised. and this is the beginning. perhaps it should be
00:09:57.390 --> 00:10:01.327
No surprise that charlie, who spent his life speaking with
00:10:01.327 --> 00:10:03.730
The critics of these traditions, ultimately became convinced
00:10:03.730 --> 00:10:06.966
That we needed not just a political realignment, but also
00:10:06.966 --> 00:10:10.403
A spiritual reawakening. we did, and we have to bring back
00:10:10.403 --> 00:10:15.108
Religion to america, because without borders, law and order
00:10:15.108 --> 00:10:19.178
And religion, you really don't have a country anymore. we want
00:10:19.178 --> 00:10:23.216
Religion brought back to america. we want to bring god
00:10:23.216 --> 00:10:28.321
Back into our beautiful usa like never before. we want god
00:10:28.321 --> 00:10:33.026
Back.
00:10:33.026 --> 00:10:34.360
>> other speakers included vice president jd vance, secretary
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:39.232
Of state marco rubio, and the secretary of defense.
00:10:39.232 --> 00:10:44.103
>> pete had said.
00:10:44.103 --> 00:10:45.638
>> the evil murderer who took charlie from us expected us to
00:10:45.638 --> 00:10:50.209
Have a funeral today. and instead, my friends, we have
00:10:50.209 --> 00:10:53.246
Had a revival in celebration of charlie kirk and of his lord
00:10:53.246 --> 00:10:59.519
Jesus christ. you know, you learn a lot about someone by
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:06.059
How they treat others when the cameras aren't on. charlie
00:11:06.059 --> 00:11:11.097
Treated staffers as well as he treated the president of the
00:11:11.097 --> 00:11:14.167
United states. when i was just a guy pulling at nothing in my
00:11:14.167 --> 00:11:18.971
Senate race back in 2021, charlie helped me not because i
00:11:18.971 --> 00:11:23.543
Was a future vice president, but because i was a dear friend
00:11:23.543 --> 00:11:28.414
I saw just a couple of months ago when a white house staffer
00:11:28.414 --> 00:11:32.351
Struggled with the weight of his job and the
00:11:32.351 --> 00:11:35.922
Responsibilities of new fatherhood. charlie stopped
00:11:35.922 --> 00:11:38.291
What he was doing in the hallways of the west wing and
00:11:38.291 --> 00:11:42.061
Said a prayer for that staffer, because charlie believed that
00:11:42.061 --> 00:11:46.099
We were all children of god, he treated everyone with grace.
00:11:46.099 --> 00:11:50.403
And that is perhaps the enduring legacy of charlie kirk.
00:11:50.403 --> 00:11:54.540
You know, i was telling somebody backstage that i
00:11:54.540 --> 00:12:00.113
Always felt a little uncomfortable talking about my
00:12:00.113 --> 00:12:03.149
Faith in public as much as i loved the lord. and as much as
00:12:03.149 --> 00:12:07.787
It was an important part of my life, i have talked more about
00:12:07.787 --> 00:12:11.457
Jesus christ in the past two weeks than i have my entire
00:12:11.457 --> 00:12:16.195
Time in public life.
00:12:16.195 --> 00:12:18.798
>> i imagine there are people watching here tonight that
00:12:18.798 --> 00:12:21.634
Didn't know much about charlie kirk until 11 days ago. maybe
00:12:21.634 --> 00:12:24.370
They were disengaged from politics. maybe they were
00:12:24.370 --> 00:12:27.106
Partially engaged. i hope one of the things they take from
00:12:27.106 --> 00:12:30.376
This is that the movement charlie kirk led and started
00:12:30.376 --> 00:12:33.212
And gave fuel to was about politics, but not only about
00:12:33.212 --> 00:12:37.116
Politics. it was deeper, it was broader. and i would say that
00:12:37.116 --> 00:12:41.154
Taking the liberty. but i'm confident he would agree. one
00:12:41.154 --> 00:12:44.557
Of the things he wants us to take away from this, from all
00:12:44.557 --> 00:12:48.394
Of this, is the following. his deep belief that we were all
00:12:48.394 --> 00:12:54.066
Created, every single one of us, before the beginning of time by
00:12:54.066 --> 00:12:57.470
The hands of the god of the universe and all powerful god
00:12:57.470 --> 00:13:01.340
Who loved us and created us for the purpose of living with him
00:13:01.340 --> 00:13:05.178
In eternity. but then sin entered the world and separated
00:13:05.178 --> 00:13:08.447
Us from our creator. and so god took on the form of a man, and
00:13:08.447 --> 00:13:12.218
Came down and lived among us. and he suffered like men, and
00:13:12.218 --> 00:13:17.123
He died like a man. but on the third day he rose unlike any
00:13:17.123 --> 00:13:22.061
Mortal man. and then. and to prove any doubters wrong, he
00:13:22.061 --> 00:13:30.102
Ate with his disciples so they could see. and they touched his
00:13:30.102 --> 00:13:33.472
Wounds. he didn't rise as a ghost or as a spirit, but as
00:13:33.472 --> 00:13:37.176
Flesh. and then he rose to the heaven. but he promised he
00:13:37.176 --> 00:13:40.413
Would return, and he will. and when he returns, because he
00:13:40.413 --> 00:13:44.150
Took on that death, because he carried that cross, we were
00:13:44.150 --> 00:13:47.486
Freed from the sin that separated us from him. and when
00:13:47.486 --> 00:13:50.356
He returns, there will be a new heaven and a new earth, and we
00:13:50.356 --> 00:13:54.260
Will all be together, and we are going to have a great
00:13:54.260 --> 00:13:57.496
Reunion there again with charlie and all the people we
00:13:57.496 --> 00:14:00.499
Love.
00:14:00.499 --> 00:14:03.169
>> charlie had big plans, but god had even bigger plans. you
00:14:03.169 --> 00:14:18.317
Know, marco mentioned this arena and the millions watching.
00:14:18.417 --> 00:14:23.289
A couple of days ago, i learned that kirk actually in germania
00:14:23.289 --> 00:14:27.960
In german, the german language means church. so on this sunday
00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:34.267
Morning, i'd like to think we're all in charlie's church.
00:14:34.267 --> 00:14:44.210
Charlie started a political movement, but unleashed a
00:14:44.210 --> 00:14:47.013
Spiritual revival. my pastor texted me the day after that
00:14:47.013 --> 00:14:51.350
Horrific event and said, pete, the devil overplayed his hand.
00:14:51.350 --> 00:14:56.789
Charlie started with liberty, but ended up lighting our
00:14:56.789 --> 00:15:00.059
Country on fire for christ. he started turning point usa. but
00:15:00.059 --> 00:15:04.697
This moment is the turning point for the usa. right now.
00:15:04.697 --> 00:15:17.243
>> another beautiful speaker was director of national
00:15:17.243 --> 00:15:21.280
Intelligence tulsi gabbard, congresswoman anna paulina luna,
00:15:21.280 --> 00:15:25.251
And members of the white house staff.
00:15:25.251 --> 00:15:27.053
>> now, for those of us who knew charlie, and even those of
00:15:27.053 --> 00:15:30.489
You who may never have had the chance to meet him in person,
00:15:30.489 --> 00:15:33.392
We all know and experience how. charlie spoke with a calm
00:15:33.392 --> 00:15:37.697
Courage, not asking, what will god do for me, but instead
00:15:37.697 --> 00:15:42.702
Praying, god, use me for your will. he showed respect and
00:15:42.702 --> 00:15:49.342
Compassion for everyone, even those who opposed him. and i
00:15:49.342 --> 00:15:54.080
Think especially for those who opposed him, he invited them to
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:58.384
His table or on his show saying, let's talk. sitting with
00:15:58.384 --> 00:16:04.223
Charlie here in arizona at asu last year, seeing and
00:16:04.223 --> 00:16:08.794
Experiencing him in action was truly a sight to behold because
00:16:08.794 --> 00:16:13.899
In charlie, he sincerely wanted people to know the truth.
00:16:13.899 --> 00:16:18.137
Because it's the truth that sets us free. it is the truth
00:16:18.137 --> 00:16:24.310
That keeps us free, as charlie was fearless. but where did his
00:16:24.310 --> 00:16:30.016
Fearlessness come from? the answer lies in corinthians.
00:16:30.016 --> 00:16:34.387
Corinthians therefore be always of good courage and know that
00:16:34.387 --> 00:16:38.290
While we are at home in the body, we are absent from the
00:16:38.290 --> 00:16:41.460
Lord. we are of good courage, i say, and prefer to be absent
00:16:41.460 --> 00:16:45.331
From the body and at home with the lord. therefore we have as
00:16:45.331 --> 00:16:51.370
Our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to
00:16:51.370 --> 00:16:58.044
Him. so our call to action is now. every one of us needs to
00:16:58.044 --> 00:17:03.783
Be a warrior like charlie, to take shelter in god, to draw
00:17:03.783 --> 00:17:08.287
Strength and fearlessness from the lord who sits within every
00:17:08.287 --> 00:17:11.524
One of our hearts to stand together, continue the mission
00:17:11.524 --> 00:17:15.127
That charlie dedicated his life to, to sharpen our weapons of
00:17:15.127 --> 00:17:20.366
Truth, common sense and reason. to train, to study, learn and
00:17:20.366 --> 00:17:26.639
To speak. exercise our god given right to speak and carry
00:17:26.639 --> 00:17:31.210
That torch that shines brightly because of god's love.
00:17:31.210 --> 00:17:36.282
>> and as i stand here today looking at thousands of young
00:17:36.282 --> 00:17:40.686
People in this crowd, i realize that charlie's vision is ablaze
00:17:40.686 --> 00:17:44.323
In every single one of you. the generation that he entrusted to
00:17:44.323 --> 00:17:48.427
Restore the soul of this nation. so i ask you, will you live
00:17:48.427 --> 00:17:54.633
Boldly as charlie did? will you rise to the challenge as
00:17:54.633 --> 00:17:59.538
Charlie did? will you speak truth without fear, as charlie
00:17:59.538 --> 00:18:03.476
Did? and will you pray with unwavering faith, as charlie
00:18:03.476 --> 00:18:08.080
Did? if one man can awaken a generation and save a nation,
00:18:08.080 --> 00:18:13.152
Imagine what 10,000 can do. and we are all charlie kirk now,
00:18:13.152 --> 00:18:18.824
And his legacy has just begun.
00:18:18.824 --> 00:18:29.168
>> these tributes from our leaders were a necessary part
00:18:29.168 --> 00:18:33.606
Of this service and affirmed the influence we knew charlie
00:18:33.606 --> 00:18:38.744
Kirk had. but along with a sense of accomplishment, there
00:18:38.744 --> 00:18:43.182
Was also the ever present grief and sense of loss.
00:18:43.182 --> 00:18:47.319
>> this heartache was represented in a moving way by
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:51.223
Stacy sheridan, a turning point executive and personal friend
00:18:51.223 --> 00:18:54.026
Of charlie and erica.
00:18:54.026 --> 00:18:56.428
>> in 2022, my husband mike became sick with cancer. two
00:18:56.428 --> 00:19:01.700
Years later, that cancer took his life. throughout those two
00:19:01.700 --> 00:19:06.405
Years, charlie called me consistently to ask how he
00:19:06.405 --> 00:19:10.976
Could help us. at one point, he had critical medication and an
00:19:10.976 --> 00:19:16.148
Oxygen machine sent to my doorstep without my knowledge.
00:19:16.148 --> 00:19:20.352
I still to this day have no idea how he made that happen.
00:19:20.352 --> 00:19:26.058
But that was charlie. he did the right thing. there was no
00:19:26.058 --> 00:19:31.230
Limit to how far he'd go to help a friend. he wasn't
00:19:31.230 --> 00:19:37.269
Looking for publicity or credit. he did it because that's what a
00:19:37.269 --> 00:19:43.609
Leader does. that's what a friend does. and that's what a
00:19:43.609 --> 00:19:47.646
Christian is supposed to do while enduring our various
00:19:47.646 --> 00:19:51.283
Tragedies, my daughter grace would ask me at least once a
00:19:51.283 --> 00:19:55.454
Day, why would god do this to us? mom? my honest and only
00:19:55.454 --> 00:20:02.127
Answer was, someday we will look at each other and
00:20:02.127 --> 00:20:05.497
Instantly know why all of this had to happen, and it will be
00:20:05.497 --> 00:20:10.069
For something far greater than we could ever imagine. and my
00:20:10.069 --> 00:20:15.140
First conversation with grace after charlie's death. grace
00:20:15.140 --> 00:20:19.144
Said to me through tears over the phone, mom, this is the
00:20:19.144 --> 00:20:25.217
Answer to my question. this is our why. now we can be there
00:20:25.217 --> 00:20:32.691
For erica and gigi and mac the way they were there for us.
00:20:32.691 --> 00:20:47.039
Looking back today, it's so clear to me that grace was
00:20:48.140 --> 00:20:51.410
Right. i know for certain that my late husband, mike, charlie
00:20:51.410 --> 00:20:55.314
And god were guiding us here for this very moment in time.
00:20:55.314 --> 00:21:01.086
It was always written, erica, grace and i will support you
00:21:01.086 --> 00:21:07.426
And your babies the way you and charlie were there for us in
00:21:07.426 --> 00:21:11.230
Our darkest days. charlie. we will miss your words of wisdom,
00:21:11.230 --> 00:21:20.439
Your high pitched laugh, and just kind of awkward. and the
00:21:20.439 --> 00:21:25.244
Way your voice would always soften when you spoke to erica
00:21:25.244 --> 00:21:29.381
And your children. and i promise we are going to make
00:21:29.381 --> 00:21:36.021
Tpusa so big that it reaches you in heaven.
00:21:36.021 --> 00:21:41.827
>> we were there, and i can tell you that for every one of
00:21:41.827 --> 00:21:45.164
The tens of thousands of people, that was a very touching and
00:21:45.164 --> 00:21:49.034
Emotional moment. but the most touching and heart rending
00:21:49.034 --> 00:21:52.404
Moments had to be when charlie's widow, erica,
00:21:52.404 --> 00:21:55.641
Addressed the crowd.
00:21:55.641 --> 00:21:57.309
>> before he was a leader to millions, he was mine and
00:21:57.309 --> 00:22:03.248
Theirs.
00:22:03.248 --> 00:22:04.883
>> by.
00:22:04.883 --> 00:22:10.255
>> following the best.
00:22:10.255 --> 00:22:12.157
>> i have to say this without getting emotional, but i'm very
00:22:12.157 --> 00:22:15.994
Proud of my husband and i know many of you are too.
00:22:15.994 --> 00:22:20.699
>> i've never met anyone quite like her. i remember i called
00:22:20.699 --> 00:22:24.269
Tyler and i said, he's going to have to find talent somewhere
00:22:24.269 --> 00:22:27.206
Else. and tyler was trying to coach me down because he said
00:22:27.206 --> 00:22:30.242
That she was way out of my league. and he's still right,
00:22:30.242 --> 00:22:33.445
By the way. i mean, my wife is the best person ever, and she's
00:22:33.445 --> 00:22:36.448
A patriot and she's a believer. we don't want to have to be
00:22:36.448 --> 00:22:40.519
Accountable to god when this life passes. and he asks, why
00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:42.855
Did you not trust in me and not fight evil for young people out
00:22:42.855 --> 00:22:46.291
There? if you want to find meaning, find something worth
00:22:46.291 --> 00:22:49.128
Taking responsibility for.
00:22:49.128 --> 00:22:51.263
>> yeah, it's been a fun journey. fun ride.
00:22:51.263 --> 00:22:53.532
>> i'm just getting started.
00:22:53.532 --> 00:22:55.200
>> yeah. grateful for you.
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:56.702
>> thanks for joining the charlie kirk show.
00:22:56.702 --> 00:22:59.905
>> you're welcome. we should do this more often.
00:22:59.905 --> 00:23:46.785
Hello.
00:23:47.052 --> 00:23:50.022
>> god bless.
00:23:50.022 --> 00:23:51.190
>> all of you for coming here from all over the world to
00:23:51.190 --> 00:23:58.330
Honor and celebrate my charlie.
00:23:58.330 --> 00:24:12.177
God's love was revealed to me on the very day my husband was
00:24:13.378 --> 00:24:18.250
Murdered. on the afternoon of september 10th, i arrived at a
00:24:18.250 --> 00:24:25.357
Utah hospital to do the unthinkable to look directly at
00:24:25.357 --> 00:24:31.163
My husband's murdered body. i saw the wound that ended his
00:24:31.163 --> 00:24:37.402
Life. i felt everything you would expect to feel. i felt
00:24:37.402 --> 00:24:45.577
Shock, i felt horror and a level of heartache that i
00:24:45.577 --> 00:24:55.320
Didn't even know existed. but there was something else to.
00:24:55.320 --> 00:25:04.162
Even in death, i could see the man that i love. i also saw on
00:25:04.162 --> 00:25:10.269
His lips the faintest smile. and that told me something
00:25:10.269 --> 00:25:17.376
Important. it revealed to me a great mercy from god in this
00:25:17.376 --> 00:25:25.350
Tragedy. when i saw that, it told me charlie didn't suffer.
00:25:25.350 --> 00:25:33.525
Even the doctor told me it was something so instant that even,
00:25:33.525 --> 00:25:39.464
Even if charlie had been shot in the operating room itself,
00:25:39.464 --> 00:25:44.570
Nothing could have been done. there was no pain, there was no
00:25:44.570 --> 00:25:50.242
Fear, no agony. one moment charlie was doing what he loved
00:25:50.242 --> 00:25:57.816
Arguing and debating on campus. fighting for the gospel and
00:25:57.816 --> 00:26:04.623
Truth in front of a big crowd. and then he blinked. he blinked
00:26:04.623 --> 00:26:15.867
And saw his savior in paradise.
00:26:15.867 --> 00:26:27.245
After charlie's assassination. we didn't see violence. we
00:26:27.346 --> 00:26:33.185
Didn't see rioting. we didn't
00:26:33.185 --> 00:26:47.532
See revolution. instead, we saw what my husband always prayed
00:26:48.767 --> 00:26:55.474
He would see in this country. we saw revival. charlie
00:26:55.474 --> 00:27:05.484
Passionately wanted to reach and save the lost boys of the
00:27:05.484 --> 00:27:10.756
West. the young men who feel like they have no direction, no
00:27:10.756 --> 00:27:16.528
Purpose, no faith, and no reason to live. the men wasting
00:27:16.528 --> 00:27:21.466
Their lives on distractions and the men consumed with
00:27:21.466 --> 00:27:25.804
Resentment, anger and hate. charlie wanted to help them. he
00:27:25.804 --> 00:27:33.211
Wanted them to have a home with turning point usa, and when he
00:27:33.211 --> 00:27:38.483
Went on to campus, he was looking to show them a better
00:27:38.483 --> 00:27:42.120
Path and a better life. that was right there for the taking.
00:27:42.120 --> 00:27:48.593
If he wanted to show them that. my husband, charlie. he wanted
00:27:48.593 --> 00:28:00.639
To save. young men just like the one who took his life.
00:28:00.639 --> 00:28:25.530
>> that young man. that young man.
00:28:26.298 --> 00:28:32.170
>> on the cross, our savior said. father, forgive them, for
00:28:32.170 --> 00:28:41.146
They not know what they do. that man.
00:28:41.146 --> 00:28:50.789
>> that young man. i forgive him.
00:28:50.789 --> 00:29:29.594
>> charlie's life was a turning point for this country. it was
00:29:30.829 --> 00:29:35.333
A miracle. let that miracle, that was charlie's life be your
00:29:35.333 --> 00:29:41.640
Turning point as well. choose prayer. choose courage. choose
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:52.951
Beauty. choose adventure. choose family. choose a life of
00:29:52.951 --> 00:30:02.360
Faith. most importantly, choose christ.
00:30:02.360 --> 00:30:15.407
>> i love you, charlie, baby. and i will make you proud.
00:30:15.407 --> 00:30:25.150
>> god bless you all and god bless america.
00:30:25.150 --> 00:30:36.294
>> in that actual moment. i was standing on the third row and i
00:30:36.294 --> 00:30:43.134
Can tell you that it was the most captivating moment of the
00:30:43.134 --> 00:30:48.673
Entire day. it's absolutely stunning. what an example of
00:30:48.673 --> 00:30:54.679
Courage and christian love. her forgiveness of
00:30:54.679 --> 00:30:59.384
Charlie's assassin in that moment captured the
00:30:59.384 --> 00:31:03.421
Attention not just of us who were there, but the
00:31:03.421 --> 00:31:06.291
Entire world. it demonstrate entire world. it demonstratd
00:31:06.291 --> 00:31:10.795
Entire world. it demonstratd everything we stand for the
00:31:10.795 --> 00:31:13.732
Power of god's forgiveness for us and allowing us to forgive
00:31:13.732 --> 00:31:20.772
Others. that was absolutely one of the most powerful moments of
00:31:20.772 --> 00:31:25.277
The day.
00:31:25.277 --> 00:31:26.478
>> and i've never seen or heard so many people. thousands and
00:31:26.578 --> 00:31:30.282
Thousands of people sit so still and quiet. it's a moment
00:31:30.282 --> 00:31:34.552
That i'll never forget.
00:31:34.552 --> 00:31:35.787
>> while this service marked the end of charlie kirk's life,
00:31:35.787 --> 00:31:40.358
It was definitely not the end of the movement that he started.
00:31:40.358 --> 00:31:46.031
Throughout the event, young people were challenged to
00:31:46.031 --> 00:31:48.533
Continue charlie's legacy. this was best expressed by. several
00:31:48.533 --> 00:31:54.072
Of the young staffers of turning point ministries.
00:31:54.072 --> 00:32:00.178
>> my friend was martyred for using his voice to engage in
00:32:00.178 --> 00:32:05.550
Peaceful dialog. charlie's assassin thought that he could
00:32:05.550 --> 00:32:09.287
Steal and silence his voice by putting a bullet in his neck.
00:32:09.287 --> 00:32:14.225
In the words of soren kierkegaard, the tyrant dies in
00:32:14.225 --> 00:32:18.496
His rule is over, the martyr dies, and his rule has just
00:32:18.496 --> 00:32:23.301
Begun.
00:32:23.301 --> 00:32:45.290
Charlie was not silenced. his movement is only beginning.
00:32:46.491 --> 00:32:52.364
The voices of millions globally have been awakened, furthering
00:32:52.364 --> 00:32:56.001
His cause in mission far beyond anyone's comprehension. we
00:32:56.001 --> 00:33:01.072
Won't cower in fear. we will never surrender. we are
00:33:01.072 --> 00:33:06.678
Resolved to live free from lies and seek out what is true. we
00:33:06.678 --> 00:33:11.816
Will respectfully, boldly challenge what is accepted by
00:33:11.816 --> 00:33:16.254
Culture in order to seek out what is true and acceptable to
00:33:16.254 --> 00:33:20.125
God almighty alone. to everyone
00:33:20.125 --> 00:33:33.171
Here today, live free. true freedom is not found in doing
00:33:34.339 --> 00:33:40.812
Whatever we want, but pursuing christ and doing what is right.
00:33:40.812 --> 00:33:46.051
In charlie's words, get married, have more children than you can
00:33:46.051 --> 00:33:52.223
Afford. build a legacy. pass down your values. pursue the
00:33:52.223 --> 00:33:56.394
Eternal. seek true joy.
00:33:56.394 --> 00:33:59.397
>> charlie is having some serious heavenly fomo right now.
00:33:59.397 --> 00:34:03.301
Look at this. you have no idea how much charlie kirk wants a
00:34:03.301 --> 00:34:07.272
Bullhorn down here right now. he always, he always said to me,
00:34:07.272 --> 00:34:11.976
If we could just figure out how to bring the holy spirit into a
00:34:11.976 --> 00:34:14.579
Trump rally. i think you've done it. charlie. like all our
00:34:14.579 --> 00:34:23.521
24/7 ideas sessions text to me and our vp of events, lauren
00:34:23.521 --> 00:34:28.293
Thompson, late at night. and he said he showed us and said,
00:34:28.293 --> 00:34:31.362
This is my vision. it was an image of a full stadium. a few
00:34:31.362 --> 00:34:36.101
Seconds later, he sent these images of full stadiums, of
00:34:36.101 --> 00:34:40.171
People hoping for that to be a future turning point event.
00:34:40.171 --> 00:34:43.708
Well, charlie, my friend, i'm happy to report we're standing
00:34:43.708 --> 00:34:46.411
In your vision. you did it, buddy. we love you.
00:34:46.411 --> 00:34:54.752
>> charlie often said that having courage is one of the
00:34:54.752 --> 00:34:58.022
Easiest things in the world, because all it requires is you
00:34:58.022 --> 00:35:01.326
To say yes. courage does not require talent. it does not
00:35:01.326 --> 00:35:06.564
Require natural ability. courage requires a personal
00:35:06.564 --> 00:35:09.400
Decision. it's interesting that people often describe charlie
00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:13.371
As completely fearless, but the truth is simpler and much more
00:35:13.371 --> 00:35:17.876
Profound. charlie simply refused to let fear stop him
00:35:17.876 --> 00:35:21.546
From carrying out god's will for him and his life. he asked
00:35:21.546 --> 00:35:25.216
Us to hear the words that god wrote on our hearts. i am the
00:35:25.216 --> 00:35:28.987
Lord your god, and you shall have no other gods before me.
00:35:28.987 --> 00:35:32.590
This is not a message of comfort or safety or peace.
00:35:32.590 --> 00:35:35.460
It's a message of love, a love of god's will. charlie's life
00:35:35.460 --> 00:35:39.230
Was anchored by that love. every day he left his home, the
00:35:39.230 --> 00:35:43.134
Comfort of it, his wife, his children to face criticism and
00:35:43.134 --> 00:35:47.071
Threats and angry mobs and ultimately death. he loved god
00:35:47.071 --> 00:35:51.976
More than he loved safety or applause or even his own life.
00:35:51.976 --> 00:35:56.314
That's because the last 31 years weren't his career. they
00:35:56.314 --> 00:36:00.585
Were his calling. charlie's legacy is this he showed us how
00:36:00.585 --> 00:36:05.256
To be better people. he gave voice to truth, and he followed
00:36:05.256 --> 00:36:09.194
God's will. he started with nothing more than the idea,
00:36:09.194 --> 00:36:13.164
Than an idea and a folding table. and over 13 years, with
00:36:13.164 --> 00:36:17.368
Time and courage and faith, he built a movement that changed
00:36:17.368 --> 00:36:21.472
The world.
00:36:21.472 --> 00:36:23.708
>> my name is andrew covid. i am a spokesman for turning
00:36:23.708 --> 00:36:29.647
Point usa. i'm a business partner of charlie's. i was the
00:36:29.647 --> 00:36:34.586
Executive producer. i am the executive producer of the
00:36:34.586 --> 00:36:36.154
Charlie kirk show. but most of all, i'm a longtime friend of
00:36:36.154 --> 00:36:40.491
Charlie's, and these wonderful people standing behind me are
00:36:40.491 --> 00:36:44.796
The geniuses, the camera ops, the board ops, the producers,
00:36:44.796 --> 00:36:50.568
The editors, and the social media team who made the show
00:36:50.568 --> 00:36:53.338
Happen every single day. you
00:36:53.338 --> 00:37:06.150
See, it's only now that i'm beginning to realize what was
00:37:07.318 --> 00:37:11.222
Going on all these years that i spent with charlie. we called
00:37:11.222 --> 00:37:16.394
Them campus tours. now i know they were really tent revivals,
00:37:16.394 --> 00:37:22.300
Complete with a tent. amen. we call it the charlie kirk show,
00:37:22.300 --> 00:37:32.076
But it was really just charlie confronting the lies and the
00:37:32.076 --> 00:37:35.613
Culture and pointing to the truth day in and day out. and
00:37:35.613 --> 00:37:40.151
Millions of you tuned in. you see, i see it now clearly that
00:37:40.151 --> 00:37:46.124
Charlie kirk was a prophet, not the fortune telling kind that
00:37:46.124 --> 00:37:51.162
Could predict the future, but the biblical kind. he
00:37:51.162 --> 00:37:54.065
Confronted evil and proclaimed the truth and called us to
00:37:54.065 --> 00:37:58.770
Repent and be saved. amen. so, friends, look around you. we've
00:37:58.770 --> 00:38:09.280
Been worshiping. we've been singing, we've been joyful. our
00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:14.619
Hearts are grieving, but we do not grieve as the world grieves.
00:38:14.619 --> 00:38:19.957
Because it says in scripture, o death, where is your victory?
00:38:19.957 --> 00:38:24.262
Oh death, where is your sting? christ has overcome death.
00:38:24.262 --> 00:38:36.908
>> it is now obvious to the world that the death of charlie
00:38:36.908 --> 00:38:42.780
Kirk did not end the movement, that he started. literally,
00:38:42.780 --> 00:38:47.251
There are thousands of posts going on. we are charlie kirk,
00:38:47.251 --> 00:38:52.457
But we actually gave turning point usa an even greater voice
00:38:52.457 --> 00:38:58.262
And influence.
00:38:58.262 --> 00:38:59.764
>> yes, thousands and thousands of new chapters of started in
00:38:59.764 --> 00:39:04.335
High school and colleges all over the country, all over the
00:39:04.335 --> 00:39:07.338
World. actually in just the last two weeks.
00:39:07.338 --> 00:39:11.476
>> and while this memorial service portrayed a vision that
00:39:11.476 --> 00:39:14.379
Is alive and stronger than ever, it also presented the most
00:39:14.379 --> 00:39:19.083
Important thing about charlie kirk, a man who was a
00:39:19.083 --> 00:39:22.387
Passionate follower of jesus.
00:39:22.387 --> 00:39:25.156
>> and the call to follow jesus in a life committed to christ
00:39:25.156 --> 00:39:29.394
Was repeated by speaker after speaker.
00:39:29.394 --> 00:39:32.397
>> this is the most unbelievable thing i think i've
00:39:32.397 --> 00:39:36.134
Ever seen, and i don't. what whatever happens next in
00:39:36.134 --> 00:39:42.273
America, i hope it's in this direction, because god is here
00:39:42.273 --> 00:39:46.210
And you can feel it. and charlie would have loved this,
00:39:46.210 --> 00:39:49.213
Not just because he loved large groups of people, but because
00:39:49.213 --> 00:39:54.585
Ultimately he was a christian evangelist. and it actually
00:39:54.585 --> 00:39:57.155
Reminds me of my favorite story ever. so it's about 2000 years
00:39:57.155 --> 00:40:01.392
Ago in jerusalem, and jesus shows up and he starts talking
00:40:01.392 --> 00:40:06.464
About the people in power, and he starts doing the worst thing
00:40:06.464 --> 00:40:11.436
That you can do, which is telling the truth about people,
00:40:11.436 --> 00:40:14.305
And they hate it, and they just go bonkers. they hate it, and
00:40:14.305 --> 00:40:18.109
They become obsessed with making him stop. this guy's got
00:40:18.109 --> 00:40:21.012
To stop talking. we've got to shut this guy up. and i can
00:40:21.012 --> 00:40:25.283
Just picture the scene in a lamp lit room with a bunch of
00:40:25.283 --> 00:40:28.186
Guys sitting around eating hummus, thinking about, what do
00:40:28.186 --> 00:40:30.721
We do about this guy telling the truth about us? we must
00:40:30.721 --> 00:40:34.425
Make him stop talking. and there's always one guy with a
00:40:34.425 --> 00:40:38.362
Bright idea, and i could just hear him say, i've got an idea.
00:40:38.362 --> 00:40:42.099
Why don't we just kill him? that'll shut him up. that'll
00:40:42.099 --> 00:40:45.937
Fix the problem. it doesn't work that way. it doesn't work
00:40:45.937 --> 00:40:55.379
That way. everything is inverted. and the beatitudes
00:40:55.379 --> 00:40:58.082
Tell it. i think the most crisply. everything is sort of
00:40:58.082 --> 00:41:02.653
The opposite of what you think it's going to be. blessed are
00:41:02.653 --> 00:41:05.089
Those who mourn, for they will be comforted. that is true. and
00:41:05.089 --> 00:41:07.992
You can feel it here. the thing about charlie's message, i've
00:41:07.992 --> 00:41:11.362
Thought a lot about it, and i'm trying not to be emotional
00:41:11.362 --> 00:41:14.265
Because in addition to everything else, he was a
00:41:14.265 --> 00:41:16.067
Wonderful man and a decent man, and one of those rare people
00:41:16.067 --> 00:41:19.437
You meet who you just groove with in conversation and have
00:41:19.437 --> 00:41:22.106
These very intense conversations that you don't
00:41:22.106 --> 00:41:23.441
Stop thinking about, which is my experience with him. but the
00:41:23.441 --> 00:41:26.277
Main thing about charlie and his message, he was bringing
00:41:26.277 --> 00:41:29.547
The gospel to the country. he was doing the thing that the
00:41:29.547 --> 00:41:35.052
People in charge hate most, which is calling for them to
00:41:35.052 --> 00:41:39.490
Repent. so how is charlie's message different? and charlie
00:41:39.490 --> 00:41:44.629
Was a political person who was deeply interested in coalition
00:41:44.629 --> 00:41:49.367
Building and in getting the right people in office, because
00:41:49.367 --> 00:41:52.537
He knew that vast improvements are possible politically. but
00:41:52.537 --> 00:41:57.041
He also knew that politics is not the final answer. it can't
00:41:57.041 --> 00:42:01.212
Answer the deepest questions, actually, that the only real
00:42:01.212 --> 00:42:06.551
Solution is jesus. and the reason it's really simple
00:42:06.551 --> 00:42:14.725
Politics at its core, is a process of critiquing other
00:42:14.725 --> 00:42:20.064
People and getting them to change christianity. the gospel
00:42:20.064 --> 00:42:24.168
Message. the message of jesus begins with repentance.
00:42:24.168 --> 00:42:29.707
Christianity calls upon you to change our core prayer given to
00:42:29.707 --> 00:42:38.182
Us by jesus, the lord's prayer demands that we forgive other
00:42:38.182 --> 00:42:43.421
People, but preceding that is a request for our forgiveness. in
00:42:43.421 --> 00:42:47.391
Other words, forgive us our sins. meditate on what we've
00:42:47.391 --> 00:42:51.228
Done wrong, how we've fallen short, and then it becomes
00:42:51.228 --> 00:42:55.232
Possible to forgive other people. that is a call to
00:42:55.232 --> 00:42:59.437
Change our hearts from jesus. and that is the only way
00:42:59.437 --> 00:43:03.407
Forward in this country. that is the only solution to where
00:43:03.407 --> 00:43:07.712
We all know we're going. and charlie knew where we were
00:43:07.712 --> 00:43:11.215
Going without that. and that is not a call for being
00:43:11.215 --> 00:43:14.218
Politically passive. of course not. i stood on many stages
00:43:14.218 --> 00:43:17.188
With charlie calling for various people to be elected,
00:43:17.188 --> 00:43:20.191
Particularly donald trump, and i'm proud of that. it's only an
00:43:20.191 --> 00:43:23.661
Acknowledgment that what charlie was really saying is
00:43:23.661 --> 00:43:26.297
That change begins the only change that matters when we
00:43:26.297 --> 00:43:31.035
Repent of our sins, we meet a recognition that the real
00:43:31.035 --> 00:43:38.643
Problem is me and how fallen i am.
00:43:38.643 --> 00:43:42.480
>> the message of forgiveness and new life in christ was a
00:43:42.480 --> 00:43:46.183
Theme throughout the entire service, and included was a
00:43:46.183 --> 00:43:51.355
Direct invitation to become a follower of jesus by pastor rob
00:43:51.355 --> 00:43:56.560
Mccoy.
00:43:56.560 --> 00:43:57.728
>> i know you're all wondering who is he and why is he here?
00:43:57.828 --> 00:44:00.297
And i'm asking myself the same question. charlie kirk called
00:44:00.297 --> 00:44:04.502
Me his pastor. i called him my friend. i was with charlie
00:44:04.502 --> 00:44:10.307
About a little over two weeks ago in korea, as he was
00:44:10.307 --> 00:44:16.714
Supporting the persecuted christians over there as a
00:44:16.714 --> 00:44:19.316
Raiding churches and imprisoning pastors, and he
00:44:19.316 --> 00:44:23.254
Spoke to the youth there that now are chanting on the streets.
00:44:23.254 --> 00:44:27.191
I am charlie kirk, standing for freedom across that country.
00:44:27.191 --> 00:44:34.298
But i'm here today to tell you the why in what he did, the why
00:44:34.298 --> 00:44:41.205
Brought him the courage, the why brought him the wisdom and
00:44:41.205 --> 00:44:45.509
The strength, the why. is the one that charlie wanted to
00:44:45.509 --> 00:44:52.083
Welcome as the guest of honor. the guest of honor. his resume
00:44:52.083 --> 00:44:58.756
Is long. he's the king of glory. he's the prince of peace. he's
00:44:58.756 --> 00:45:06.197
The savior of the world. he's the living god. he's the god of
00:45:06.197 --> 00:45:12.136
All mercy and grace. the total embodiment of love, the total
00:45:12.136 --> 00:45:18.609
Embodiment of truth. and he's here today to call his children
00:45:18.609 --> 00:45:23.280
Back to him. from the thin veil of heaven, charlie declares to
00:45:23.280 --> 00:45:34.725
All earthly powers and principalities who will gather
00:45:34.725 --> 00:45:37.628
Here. they have come into the presence of the god of all
00:45:37.628 --> 00:45:43.768
Creation. charlie wanted his savior to be the guest of honor.
00:45:43.768 --> 00:45:49.206
He wanted all of you to receive this gift from him. the why and
00:45:49.206 --> 00:45:52.276
What he did. charlie was never afraid because he knew his life
00:45:52.276 --> 00:45:58.315
Was secure in the hand of god. jesus left the glory of
00:45:58.315 --> 00:46:06.323
Heaven's throne for the humiliation of an earthly cross.
00:46:06.323 --> 00:46:10.494
He was fully tempted, yet was without sin. for those of you
00:46:10.494 --> 00:46:15.866
Who struggle with the word sin, it's real simple. it's an
00:46:15.866 --> 00:46:20.805
Archer's term where the bullseye is and where the arrow
00:46:20.805 --> 00:46:24.175
Lands. that's called the sin distance, how far you've fallen
00:46:24.175 --> 00:46:27.411
From perfection. and there are none righteous. no. not one.
00:46:27.411 --> 00:46:30.748
We've all missed the mark, the bullseye. and we try to get to
00:46:30.748 --> 00:46:35.352
God by our efforts, but there is no effort that will bring us
00:46:35.352 --> 00:46:38.289
Back into the presence of a of a righteous god. you see, the
00:46:38.289 --> 00:46:42.226
Wages of sin is death. charlie knew this, and at an early age
00:46:42.226 --> 00:46:47.097
He entrusted his life to the savior of the world. jesus came
00:46:47.097 --> 00:46:52.303
To this earth, was tempted in all ways, yet was without sin,
00:46:52.303 --> 00:46:56.273
Was crucified upon a cross. his blood was poured out because
00:46:56.273 --> 00:46:59.243
Blood must be shed for the remission of sins, and his
00:46:59.243 --> 00:47:02.980
Death upon that cross was sufficient for all the world's
00:47:02.980 --> 00:47:06.217
Sins, but only efficient for those who, like charlie, would
00:47:06.217 --> 00:47:10.588
Receive him as their savior. jesus has come to seek and save
00:47:10.588 --> 00:47:16.594
That which is lost. and i would say this to all of you. the
00:47:16.594 --> 00:47:24.635
Lord loves you. he wants to save you. he wants to give you
00:47:24.635 --> 00:47:32.209
A new life. he wants to cover the multitude of your sins by
00:47:32.209 --> 00:47:37.481
The blood he shed upon the cross. the bible says, if you
00:47:37.481 --> 00:47:41.318
Believe in your heart and you confess with your tongue, jesus
00:47:41.318 --> 00:47:44.221
Is lord, you will be saved to the glory of the father. you
00:47:44.221 --> 00:47:47.191
See, charlie looked at politics as an on ramp to jesus. he knew
00:47:47.191 --> 00:47:52.062
If he could get all of you rowing in the streams of
00:47:52.062 --> 00:47:55.666
Liberty, you'd come to its source. and that's the lord. in
00:47:55.666 --> 00:48:06.877
The time i have remaining, i'm going to ask all who profess
00:48:06.877 --> 00:48:12.850
Christ as their savior to remain seated. the bible says,
00:48:12.850 --> 00:48:17.421
If you confess me before man, i'll confess you before my
00:48:17.421 --> 00:48:20.324
Father in heaven. it requires an act of faith. you stand.
00:48:20.324 --> 00:48:24.495
That's what charlie did every day on campus with death
00:48:24.495 --> 00:48:27.831
Threats. he stood because he knew in whom he had trusted.
00:48:27.831 --> 00:48:31.702
And he wants to give you the gift of the why and what he did.
00:48:31.702 --> 00:48:36.941
And that is his savior, jesus. while believers are seated, if
00:48:36.941 --> 00:48:39.209
There's any in this room and across the globe that would
00:48:39.209 --> 00:48:44.648
Desire to receive jesus as her savior's charlie did as a young
00:48:44.648 --> 00:48:47.952
Man, and now is in the presence of his savior. i'm going to ask
00:48:47.952 --> 00:48:53.257
You to put action to your faith, and i'd ask you to stand right
