American Family News: Charlie Kirk - A Witness of Faith & Truth

Jenna Ellis, 13 Sept. 2025
-This wasn’t about political engagement; it was about total life transformation starting with the truth of the gospel. Charlie wasn’t content to debate culture from the sidelines. He wanted to model a redeemed life in real time.

I first met Charlie Kirk more than a decade ago, and then got to know him on a personal level starting in 2019 with our founding of Liberty University’s Standing for Freedom Center. We were a small band of Christian teachers and influencers with a mission: to bring the Christian worldview to students by meeting them where they’re at, much like Charlie was already doing.

What struck me then was not only Charlie’s quick wit and courage to speak the truth, but also his unshakable conviction that ideas mattered because truth itself matters. One of the first dinners we had as a group, we closed the restaurant because we were discussing and debating ideas. Even in his early years, Charlie’s faith in Christ gave him clarity and resolve. But it was when Erika entered his life that I saw something even deeper.

From the moment Charlie met Erika, his admiration and love for her were undeniable. He often said she made him better -- not just as a man, but as a follower of Christ. She encouraged him to speak more openly and unapologetically about his Christian faith. Marriage and family transformed him. It gave his mission a new dimension. Charlie didn’t just defend conservative principles; he lived out biblical ones. His message to young men and women became clear: marry young, build families, raise children, and anchor your life in God’s design. This wasn’t about political engagement, it was about total life transformation starting with the truth of the gospel. Charlie wasn’t content to debate culture from the sidelines. He wanted to model a redeemed life in real time...

I've seen a few videos where Charlie interacted with college aged kids, and I think for some he really showed them that their viewpoints didn't really match up with reality. I'm glad that God brought him into their lives and hopefully his impact will be long lasting on the public.

[MrE]

It's been reported that there are applications for more than 32,000 new Turning Point USA chapters, since the assassination last week.

Prior to that, there were 900 college chapters, and some 1200 high school chapters. Full disclosure-- we hosted Charlie Kirk when he came to San Diego and his murder hits hard. A finer young man, I've never known. Charlie was also a big booster of Hillsdale College, a terrific school in Michigan and where one of my son's graduated from. Hillsdale promotes Charter High Schools that focus on educating K-12 students without all the nonsense they are force-fed in other public schools. The Hillsdale Barney Charter Schools focus on a classical education through literature, history and civic government. Charlie had just begun partnering with Christian Schools to make a strong push for just this sort of critical change. His impact on the youth generation is unmatched and his death will only serve to amplify his effort.

You can donate and support at tpusa.com For too long, the insane Teacher's Unions, Public School Boards, Department of Education and College Boards and Professors have feasted upon our kids, devouring them. That will end, thanks in large part to the efforts of Charlie Kirk and the organization he led.

It's interesting that there are major demonstrations taking place worldwide to commemorate him and stand against the hate the Left shows for him.

Perhaps a turning point in world thinking about the Left has been reached.

Were there any topics you disagreed with Kirk on? Any topics at all? Just curious.

There was one topic I disagreed with him on. He must have believed that Jesus is exactly the same as God the Father, in the Christian lingo. And He was wrong about that. But he did at least believe in God and the same can't be said for Atheists of any persuasion that doubt that God exists and have a level of skepticism beyond normal common sense rationalism.

if you are going to make claims like that, you better be able to cite an example of him saying that.

If we mix the Gospel with politics we are on a slippery slope!

Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” (John 18:36 ESV)

"Neither now nor at any future period will it derive its origin from this world. So far as Christ is King, his royal power and state are not furnished by earthly force, or fleshly ordinances, or physical energies, or material wealth, or imperial armies. The dominion that he will wield will be one over hearts and lives; the authority of the Lord Jesus cannot be arrested or overpowered by physical force..." (Pulpit Commentary)

Life is not about the "left" or the "right" , it is about the Center, Jesus Christ !

I'd like to see someone actually live like that, or show that Jesus did.

I had written above that I really have only seen a few of his videos, so I'm not sure if there are things he believed that I disagree with. I'll let you know if I see anything that comes up because I'm sure more of his videos will be plastered all over social media for a while now.

I didn't make a specific claim. I said "he must have believed" etc., because what I wrote is what most Orthodox Christians DO believe. Unless they don't? So to be specific, do you believe that Jesus is God? Or is that question too general? I would be interested in hearing your response if you could lay it out.

"He must have believed" is a bold claim. Claims like that require evidence.

Don't dodge.

Intellectual honesty would require you to admit that you have NO evidence of what Mr Kirk believed in this regard.

What you quote as "pulpit commentary" ---- is that your own? -Or what is your source?

-as an aside..... I completely agree.

 

[MrE]

So to be specific, do you believe that Jesus is God?

Yes.

My belief is however nuanced, which may or may not surprise you. It's based upon my personal and spiritual experience that no one can discount, simply because it is "personal" in nature and also "spiritual" in nature. In other words, I don't care what anyone "thinks" about it, because I know it is true.

"Jesus" was human.... A man, born a babe, in a manger, in Bethlehem. I accept every word of scripture as true. I just don't think that there are very many that do likewise.

He was "filled" with the Holy Spirit of God, that Spirit having been made flesh-- the man Jesus having been indwelled with that Spirit.

A rider, upon.... a horse.

Here is some information I found on Wikipedia:

"The Pulpit Commentary is a homiletic commentary on the Bible first published between 1880 and 1919[1] and created under the direction of Rev. Joseph S. Exell and Henry Donald Maurice Spence-Jones. It consists of 23 volumes with 22,000 pages and 95,000 entries, and was written over a 30-year period with 100 contributors..."

But I did it the easy way, I used a online version via "biblehub"

John 18:36 - Jesus Before Pilate

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now My kingdom is not of this realm.

Your statement above denies the Nicene Creed's portion that states that Jesus Christ is begotten of the Father before all ages; that means that Jesus wasn't just a man who then was filled with the Holy Spirit later on, but that Jesus is God.

Because of this confession of faith by you, you'll be placed into the Unorthodox Usergroup on this forum.
