A few minutes ago, Mark, Oscar, Ray and myself walked into the studio and as we were walking in,

Oscar asked me how I'm doing.

And the only word that came to mind at the moment was gutted, absolutely gutted.

And I know that those of you watching right now who've heard about

what happened our brother Charlie Kirk can relate to that word and many more words

like shocked and heartbroken and disgusted and in utter disbelief.

I was in the studio here recording a live master class

for some of the people that are part of our ministry

and the fall of our ministry and Mark and oscar walk in they sit down i'm

still a recording i had no idea what was going on i finish up about a minute later and and i get the

news and uh we just wanted to get together here in this room and be there for you as we're there for

each other right now you know we're all walking around the office kind of in a cloud and total disbelief that

this has happened, that Charlie Kirk, 31 years old,

on a college campus in the United States of America,

proclaiming truth, standing up for righteousness, and in a split second, he's shot and killed.

And so we want to be there for you as our friends who have followed the ministry,

those of you that are struggling right now trying to figure this out,

and ultimately talk about what do we do as believers as followers of Christ as

ambassadors of the Lord in this world and so guys I'd love to hear how you're processing

this and and how we can give hope to our friends as we try to hang on to hope in the

Lord as well yeah in, I had received a text from a family member who said,

hey, Mark, I'm crying so hard. I had to leave work. I'm so devastated over Charlie's death.
