The world changed on September 10th, 2025, when Charlie Kirk was taken from us at just 31 years old. Yet in that moment of profound loss, something remarkable began to unfold—a great awakening, a line drawn in the sand that continues to reveal hearts and transform lives.
Born in 1993 in Arlington Heights, Illinois, Charlie demonstrated extraordinary conviction from his youth. At 18, he founded Turning Point USA, which grew from a college campus vision into a movement that transformed a generation. Through TPUSA Faith, Turning Point Academy, grassroots mobilization, and media platforms reaching millions, Charlie's leadership extended across every cultural domain. His guiding principle remained steadfast: discipleship, education, culture, and politics all belong under Christ's lordship.
Charlie wasn't just the public figure we saw on stage. At home, he lived what he preached—reading scripture with his family, demonstrating authentic faith to his wife Erica and their children. His famous campus debates showed countless young believers how to stand for truth without fear. "Truth is not determined by popularity," he often said. "It is determined by God's word." And perhaps most powerfully: "Courage is contagious. When you stand, others will stand with you."
Since his passing, we've witnessed the undeniable—believers once silent now speaking boldly, while pretenders have grown quiet. Prayer vigils and worship gatherings are springing up nationwide. The wheat and chaff are separating, the sheep and wolves being exposed. Charlie's life was a turning point; his death is our wake-up call. His courage is now our courage, his mission our mission. Will you join us in carrying forward this legacy of truth, faith and unwavering conviction? The fire he lit continues to spread—and silence is no longer an option.
