How should Christians respond to the assassination of Charlie Kirk?

Will the CDC recognize the suffering of individuals who have attempted to change their sex and regret it as a diagnosable condition?

A study across five continents finds that men and women with multiple sex partners less desirable as long-term

mates. And an op-ed for the Atlantic, a high school student bemoans the effects of AI on his

generation. These are the stories we will discuss, and we will also address some of your questions.

I'm your host, Sean McDowell. And I'm your co-host, Scott Ray. This is the Think Biblically

weekly cultural update brought to by Talib School Theology, Biala University. Scott, full disclosure

here, you and I actually recorded this about an hour before we got the news of the shooting of

Charlie Kirk. Normally we record on Thursdays, post Fridays, but we had to record

come back and weigh in on this. So hence, there might be a shift in the tone a little bit, a shift

in the volume, but we felt

it was important enough to weigh into, and so hopefully we can bring a little biblical perspective

on this. Scott, what's your thoughts?

Well, I think, first of all, Sean, regardless of your political stripes and affiliations,

you have to mourn the senseless death

of Charlie Kirk, because at the end of the day, two young kids lost their father and will grow

up without their dad. And a dear woman lost her husband. And I think that's, in my,, that's the major takeaway from this, is just the senseless tragedy that happened to the Kirk family today.

And that his Christian faith was real and vibrant and was

intertwined with his political views.
