Fearless Faith: A Tribute to Charlie Kirk’s Bold Message

 
 
Ephesians 5:15–17
“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.”
 
Charlie Kirk stood against the decline of morality in this nation. His convictions were rooted in his Christian faith, and he boldly proclaimed the truth of the Gospel. Though many condemned his courage, they did so because they were blinded by sin.
 
Galatians 5:13–15
“For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.”
 
God designed marriage between a man and a woman. Jesus affirmed this when He said, “A man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife.” Christians are called to holiness, not to live as the world lives. Those who persist in sin cannot inherit the kingdom of God or have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
 
Galatians 5:16–21
“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit… Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you… that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”
 
Charlie Kirk stood firmly on these truths, and he paid the ultimate price for it. He now joins the great cloud of Christian witnesses and martyrs who gave their lives for the sake of righteousness. The labor he leaves behind is now entrusted to us to continue.
 
Galatians 5:22–24
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”
 
True love warns of hell’s reality. Good works cannot save us, and many go to hell every day because they reject Christ. Jesus Himself spoke with boldness, flipping tables and confronting sin because of His deep love.
 
Today, I dedicate myself to stand more firmly and boldly in Jesus—because I love you enough to tell the truth. Turn from sin and come to Christ!
 
Romans 10:9
“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

MOTHERHOOD ISN'T EASY

I’ve always known I wanted to be a mother.
 
Funny enough, I’ve never been very crazy about children.
They’re usually sticky and always unpredictable.
 
Nevertheless, I’ve always wanted my own.
 
It never dawned on me the true weight of Godly motherhood until I was looking down at my very own precious baby boy.
Mine to raise, guide, and care for.

Raising boys in a Christian home in 2025 can be challenging.
 
There are times when I feel like an outcast, or like I am treading these waters alone.
But I often return to the scriptures that God has given us in His word to remind myself:
 
What I’m feeling doesn’t mean I’m doing something wrong.
 
In fact, the Word tells us that we are to be set apart from this world.
Not to be conformed to what everyone around us is doing just because it is the “norm.”

When your child is 6 years old and everyone and their brother at Walmart is asking him what he’s going to be for Halloween, and you have to have that
“We don’t celebrate Halloween” conversation…
 
I won’t tell you it doesn’t get old or that it isn’t awkward.
It does, and it can be.
 
But what I can tell you is this:
The joy, peace, and contentment that God gives me and my children—year after year—when we don’t go with the flow of the world,
far surpasses all of the bad or hard.

When I told my family that I was planning to homeschool my kids one day, I’m sure they thought I was crazy.
There were times when I wondered myself, “Am I crazy!?”
 
But there was this tug on my mama heart that grew stronger and stronger as my son got older.
When the time came, we made the leap.
 
He’s now going into the 8th grade, and I can’t tell you how much God has blessed!
 
There have been hard days.
There have been so many hard conversations.
 
But through it all, God reminds me:
 
There is nothing my children will lose—
and everything they can gain—
from being taught at home with a curriculum that keeps Christ at its center.
 
⸻
 
In Galatians, God’s word tells us:
 
“Do not grow weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
 
My prayer is that there is more support and encouragement for the Christian mother
who is praying and asking God for direction with her children.
 
That going against what the world is doing doesn’t have to bring so much stress and anxiety.
 
⸻
 
I’ve been there, mama.
I am there.
 
Keep on keeping on.
 
One day we will finally hear those words that in our hearts mean more than any opinion of anyone down here:
 
“Well done, my child. Well done.”
