In today's show I sit down with Frank Turek, who was with Charlie Kirk on the day he was killed. We talk about Charlie's faith, his humility, and the way his life pointed people to Christ above politics. Frank shares personal memories of mentoring Charlie, the spiritual lessons at the heart of his message, and why the response to his death must be a revival rooted in Jesus rather than just political rhetoric. Together we explore faith, truth, authority, and what it really means to live—and lead—as a Christian in today's world.

| 0:46.0 | I, in particular, am interested in the distinction that exists between Christ's message and the political message of the Republican Party, because those are two separate |
| 0:56.7 | things. Let me know in the comments and chat what you think about that perspective. I guess that's |
| 1:00.8 | where I started. Over the course of the conversation, we get into it, and towards the end, he talks, |
