Frank Turek is a Christian apologist, a person who publicly defends the Christian faith. A friend of Charlie Kirk, he very clearly shared the Gospel at Kirk’s memorial service on Sunday.
If you are within driving distance of Glendale, Arizona, consider attending Charlie Kirk’s public funeral. It will be held at State Farm Stadium, starting at 11 AM tomorrow. Details here. (The event will be livecast.)
The assassination of Charlie Kirk is a national tragedy. His funeral is an opportunity for young people to reflect on the brevity of life, to witness family and leaders honor a life well lived, and to consider how they want to steward the freedoms, opportunities, and time they’ve been given.
It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for this is the end of all mankind, and the living will lay it to heart. (Ecclesiastes 7:2, ESV)
Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”… (12:1, ESV)

The political assassination of Charlie Kirk was not only intended to silence a conservative political influencer, but it was meant to silence conservative political leaders and millions of conservative young people across America.
Charlie Kirk was a man of consequence, one who will be long remembered. He bravely promoted the conservative principles of freedom of speech, free markets, and limited government, as his website makes clear. He believed conservative political principles conserve God’s great gifts to human beings, such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Importantly, Charlie Kirk became a believer in and defender of the Christian faith. Realizing that God created all men and women in His image and that without God, order, freedom, and human flourishing are not possible.
Charlie Kirk was unafraid to take his beliefs into the public arena. He inspired many young people with the courage to stand up for their beliefs, even when it’s hard. May we never forget his example and determination to make the truth known.
