Wednesday was a heartbreaking and dark day in our nation’s history as we lost a loving father, husband, patriot, and dedicated champion of Jesus Christ, Charlie Kirk.
It was just three months ago that his wife, Erika Kirk, took to the stage at a Turning Point Action rally.
This event, as the Tennessee Star reported, was for Republican Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs in support of his candidacy against Arizona Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs in next year’s gubernatorial race.
Footage of the entire event can be found here.
As Erika introduced the audience to her husband and the father of their children, she perfectly put into words the man that he was, and that so many of us now deeply miss.
“My husband, Charlie Kirk, is a force. He is a force. He is bold when the world demands silence. He is fearless where others flinch, and he has taken on the battle of the next generation, changing these hearts and minds.”

“It’s not a career to him. It’s a calling. And it’s so incredible to see as a wife how God has prepared him, how God has molded him and used him,” she continued.
“All while he’s doing that, he’s still the spiritual head of our family,” she told the audience in explaining who her husband was.
“It is my honor to be able to introduce you guys to one of the greatest fighters that I know, who is so intentional, who is so amazing, and he never backs down from the fight because he knows who and what he fights for, and that is God, it’s his family, and his country.”
Erika’s words break the hearts of so many Americans who love her husband and inspire to be just like him.
This is the man that she knew and the man that so many of us came to know as he stood fearlessly in the public square, defending this country and bringing hope to patriots and people of faith everywhere.
This is the man that Democrats and the left demonized and slandered for years before Wednesday.
Erika is now a widow and her children are without their father thanks to these people, making common cause with Satan and Cain in being plagued with a mind virus that inspires their message of death.
Kirk will never be forgotten as a fearless titan and leader, no matter what the opposition says about him.
He inspired all of us to fight, and he is the reason we must continue fighting. If we stop now, we will lose more people, and this country will continue down this dark path.
In continuing our work, we must also pray. We must pray for this nation, pray for Erika and her children, and pray for our enemies, as Christ tells us to.
We must pray they find healing and love, and pray that they turn away from the demonic influence that caused them to rejoice in the death of a dear friend.
