Thank you for trusting us with your thoughts. A shared load can be a lighter load.
Sorry to hear about your brother. You have my condolences. As to your feelings, I also feel terrible. I have no doubt Charlie is in heaven with our lord and savior Jesus Christ, but I feel terrible for his family, and the fact that ANYONE in this great nation of ours is celebrating his death. And while Charlie’s Christian as well as Political beliefs are behind the hatred of the left, I suspect the main hatred stems from something you mentioned, which is that Charlie played a large role in getting President Trump elected for a 2nd time.
I didn’t follow Charlie Kirk much, either. Nevertheless, his assassination surprised and shocked me.
And just as surprising to me was all the leftist glee that followed his murder. I knew those folks were depraved. But not that much depraved.
If there is even a small sliver of good that can come out of this, it’s that these leftist monsters have now exposed themselves. Hopefully, the voters will take notice.
Wife knew I watched Charlie often but she never watched any of his debate videos. After this week she cannot believe how great he was at not only debate but his biblical knowledge also.
Doesn’t help the squad and other Demons on the hill are calling him a racist.
I saw little bits and pieces of Charlie Kirk, and respected and admired him. Like Andrew Brietbart, his inspiration is just as important as his presence.
God allows men to perform acts of evil that good may come of it. I think we are witnessing that.
He was without doubt, the most influential person in politics under age 40. So your grief is certainly not misplaced.
I was OK til I watched Megyn Kelly and Glenn Beck trying to keep it together as the facts unfolded in real time. Probably the hardest thing I’ve watched on the internet.
Same here
“Incidentally my godly brother in Montana went to be with his Lord at about the same time as Charlie.”
That’s a heck of an emotional whack right there. Go easy on yourself, there’s nothing wrong with you. Given the example of the two above, you got this. What would they do?
I feel it, too. My Christian witness falls way short of Charlie’s. But be encouraged, Charlie was a five talent man who was anointed by the Lord and if our witness grows just a bit because of his death, than Christ will be glorified in ways we can’t imagine, because Charlie’s touched many!
You are not alone. My reaction has been the same, although I’m feeling a little bit less depressed now than I was earlier in the week. I feel like I lost a good friend and I only knew him through videos. I occasionally listened to his podcasts, but I have so many people I like to listen to that I pick and choose based on the subject content each day.
I keep telling myself that God raised Charlie up and He can raise up someone else to pick up where Charlie left off.
As matter of fact, I’ve been so upset that I can’t watch anything or read anything anyone’s posting about him because it makes me so sad. A lot of people take comfort in hearing stories about people who have passed on or by seeing videos or photos. It just makes me feel worse.
I’m very sorry about your loss. It is kind of cool to think of people we know who have died in the Lord getting to be with Charlie and other loved ones.
You’re not alone. When I saw the video of Kirk being shot, something inside broke. Brought on the same sick feeling as when I saw the towers fall. Haven’t been the same since.
I’m feeling it too. I watched Charlie Kirk only occasionally, hub watched him very often.

The Power of God Compels You!
He was about as fine a young man as you could have dreamed up in a country so busy disgracing itself, Jesus-like in quality, if not in exact manner. Jesus, after all, was not a family man. But then there was nothing supernatural about Charlie Kirk. He was vividly of this time and place on earth. Now, in death, you can imagine him up on a mural in the post office. They’ve gone and turned him into legend, like Davy Crockett, Joseph Smith, Abe Lincoln. Yeah, it goes that deep.
Charlie was responsible for the youth vote that went heavily for Trump for the first time in decades that have traditionally voted for the Demonic party.
John 12:24......”unless a seed falls to the ground and dies, it cannot produce fruit.”
You’re not the only one, no; not at all.
So sorry for your loss.
We watched Charlie Kirk’s videos. We were impressed with his debating skills and his steadfast commitment to Christ.
We feel a deep loss. I know I am surprised at how deeply felt the void he left in me really is.
I am also enraged at the callous, hateful comments and the outright lies being told by the scum on the left.
They are trying to justify this hateful act and want more of it. I am ready. Bring it on.
I doubt that Charlie would want you feeling an emptiness in your soul due to his death (or your brother/friend in Montana). Sorrow, certainly, is appropriate.
What can you do to honor them going forward? Consider, get counsel, and then pursue. Are there sins you are cuddling? Projects you should undertake. Responsibilities you should handle better? Habits you need to keep or break?
I feel certain that is a result they would have wanted for all of us.
It has hit me the same way. I’m sick and sad, and I’d like to see some payback, personally. I’m not into turning the other cheek.
I keep having the irrational thought that it has to be undone, that he has to be brought back. It’s impossible to accept every time I see videos or hear his name.
