Summary
On September 10, all of America (and the western world, at large) was shocked by the violent assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Since then, more words and social media posts have been dedicated to his murder than to any other subject in recent history—prompting a wide range of responses.
This episode is mine—an attempt to respond to the violent, senseless death of a non-violent man with wisdom that only comes from God’s Word.
I pray this episode encourages and challenges you to double down on your commitment to Jesus.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the MS for Mama podcast. |
| 0:07.4 | I'm your host, Abby Halberstadt, happy wife, Mama to 10, Bible Believing Christian. |
| 0:12.5 | And we have a really heavy and solemn topic today. |
| 0:17.9 | Before we jump into that, I want to highlight our podcast sponsor for you, |
| 0:21.5 | the Kings Ridge Elderberries, is a family-owned farm in Indiana, and they handpick all of their |
| 0:27.5 | berries very carefully. They never dry them. They fresh freeze them and cold-press them to keep the |
| 0:33.2 | antioxidants and vitamins inside. Their elderberry syrup is by far the tastiest we have ever had. |
| 0:39.1 | My kids ask for it and love it. And you can use the code Mama 10 for 10% off your order of any |
| 0:45.0 | of their products, including their berries, their cold press juice, and of course their syrup. |
| 0:49.9 | Again, it's the code Mama 10 for 10% off your order at the kingsridge elderberries.com. |
| 0:54.7 | Taste the difference. |
| 0:55.4 | Help push back the curse at tkrfarm.com. |
| 0:58.9 | Okay, friends, this is a bit of a different podcast in the sense that I don't always respond to every cultural phenomenon, every tragedy, every difficult and sobering and heartbreaking thing that |
| 1:18.9 | happens in culture. |
| 1:20.4 | As a general rule, my goal is to respond to where our culture is heading and not necessarily |
| 1:27.4 | the specific ways that we are being pushed |
| 1:31.0 | in that direction, either for good or for evil. But I could not just post another podcast without |
| 1:39.0 | addressing the murder of Charlie Kirk last week, which was shocking, to put it mildly, and an absolute |
| 1:49.3 | gut punch to so many people. I have not seen more comments like, I don't understand why |
| 1:58.8 | his death affected me so much when I've never met him, |
| 2:01.9 | when I didn't know him personally. I didn't even follow him closely. And yet I'm crying. |
| 2:07.4 | Every day I find tears in my eyes thinking about his family, thinking about just the circumstances |
