Summary
Today we’re honoring what would’ve been Charlie Kirk’s 32nd birthday—a life marked by courage, faith, and conviction. I’ll share clips from Turning Point’s tribute and reflect on the lessons Charlie left us: start where you are, speak truth boldly, and build something that lasts. You were born for this time in history—so get off the bench, step into your calling, and let your faith speak.

| 0:00.0 | You know what I hear from homeschool moms everywhere? They want biblical accuracy without the fluff. |
| 0:06.2 | A recent survey by my friends at Lifestone Ministries found that 46% of Christian families say that |
| 0:12.3 | theological soundness is their top concern in a Bible curriculum. This is why I love the |
| 0:17.5 | Illuminate Bible series from Lifestone Ministries. Unlike workbook-heavy programs that |
| 0:22.6 | drain the joy from Scripture, Illuminate takes your family deep into God's Word in just 15 minutes |
| 0:28.2 | a day. No endless crafts or surface-level lessons, just pure biblical truth. Each week's simple |
| 0:34.8 | five-step approach walks you through the story, context, scripture connection, |
| 0:39.5 | doctrine, and real-life application of what you're studying. And with one parent guide serving |
| 0:45.0 | multiple children, that's less than $1 a lesson. If you want a curriculum that's built on sound |
| 0:51.3 | theology and biblical alignment, you'll find it here. |

| 1:20.6 | I'm going to spend some time today playing some clips for you from Turning Point. |
| 1:24.6 | We're going to listen to a little bit of Erica's speech as Charlie was awarded posthumously the Presidential Medal of Freedom and just remark |
| 1:33.7 | on his extraordinary life and some takeaways that I have seen that I think might be good |
| 1:39.7 | for all of us. I'm glad you guys are here. Stick around. I think you're going to be encouraged. |
