On September 10th, 2025, Charlie Kirk, a political activist and defender of faith, was shot while speaking at a university campus in Utah. Before his death, Charlie Kirk’s last words addressed issues related to transgenderism in American society. He was no stranger to opening his mind and heart, but his mission was to evangelize through politics while embracing his role as a husband and father.
On June 29th, during an interview on “The Ice Coffee Hour”, Charlie was asked how he would want to be remembered. What legacy does he want to leave behind? And his response was, “I want to be remembered for courage for the faith…. That would be the most important thing; the most important thing is my faith.” Kirk was a defender of his faith. He would visit many campuses around the country to spread the truth and encourage young minds to stand up for their faith.
The Legacy of Charlie Kirk must live on. He would say, “I am nothing without the faith”. Implying that everything he was and everything he did was for his faith. Just four days before his death, Charlie posted on X, “Jesus defeated death so that you may live”. Kirk knew that death was not the end, and so he strove to see others rise in faith.
Charlie addressed the issues of toxic feminism and how women need to start turning back to Mary during these times. Kirk stated that for a man to get a woman pregnant, he needs to remain by her side and be supportive. He spoke on the beauty of family and the responsibilities it takes to lead a godly marriage and to be a father. Charlie would also address the controversies that affect our country, such as abortion, same sex marriage, and, as we saw in his assassination, transgenderism.
After the events of Charlie Kirk’s death, the internet blew up with many Americans addressing the need to pray more for their country. There has been an uprising of conversions to the faith, and people are starting to pray, which is exactly what this country needs. His courage in the faith, the impact he made in America, and the loving role he played as a father and husband ought to inspire all those who strive to make America a better country.
