Summary

Americans can’t deny it—there's been a major cultural shift since the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, inspiring countless individuals to seek Jesus Christ and live more boldly for Him.

At Charlie’s memorial service, what could have been a somber occasion became a powerful revival, feeling more like a Harvest Crusade than a funeral! Prominent voices like Vice President JD Vance and Tucker Carlson unapologetically spoke out in faith, while worship leaders like Chris Tomlin and Phil Wickham filled the stadium with worship. The most unforgettable moment came when Erika Kirk offered a stunning act of forgiveness toward her husband’s murderer.

Is America finally experiencing a spiritual awaking? Pastor Greg Laurie believes so and urges Christians not to let this moment in time slip by.

0:47.1	that just happened at the State Farm Stadium in Arizona. You may have watched it. It had a global
0:53.7	audience online of, listen to this,
0:56.1	a hundred million people. And it was an overtly Christian event. In fact, it reminded me in some

1:34.9	Because Charlie believed that we were all children of God, he treated everyone with grace.
