Was Charlie Kirk a Martyr?

Sunday morning is Charlie Kirk’s funeral. Just over a week has passed since he was shot while speaking at a Utah university. His death a few hours later stunned the nation, as the (still ongoing) social media response has clearly shown.

I released my initial, rather shocked, response that night, referring to Charlie as a martyr. But some people are arguing that’s a misnomer. Was Charlie Kirk really a martyr?

Our Answers News team, Bryan Osborne and Avery Foley, asked that question in today’s episode, giving a thoughtful and Scripture-filled analysis of what happened and what we should do in the aftermath of this tragedy. I encourage you to watch and share it with others.

Please continue to pray for Charlie’s widow, Erika, and their two young children. And pray, as the gospel is sure to be shared during the funeral, that the gospel message will go out with power and that many people will turn from their sin and trust in Christ as a result.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
