Father Josiah Trenham on Violence, Repentance, and National Hope
Showing 4 Father Josiah Trenham videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
Father Josiah Trenham, an Orthodox priest, framed the violence surrounding Charlie Kirk's death within a broader biblical argument about sin and national repentance, drawing on the flood narrative in Genesis as an example of how unchecked violence can provoke divine judgment. He argued that a culture sustaining high rates of unborn-child deaths should not be surprised by other forms of violence, since every act of violence against a person is, in his view, an offense against God given that humans are made in God's image. Trenham said hope still exists, but only through belief in a God who forgives even the gravest sins upon genuine repentance. In a separate video, Tucker Carlson examined competing narratives that emerged within days of Kirk's assassination, from claims that Kirk died for opposing causes to arguments over who had the right to define his legacy, arguing none of the explanations fully captured who Kirk actually was.
