Greg Laurie's Gospel Response to Kirk's Assassination

Showing 20 Greg Laurie videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

Greg Laurie became one of the most visible pastors responding to Charlie Kirk's assassination through direct action rather than commentary alone, organizing a gospel crusade at the University of Utah, the same campus where Kirk was killed, that drew 10,000 people in person and 200,000 online viewers within six weeks of the shooting, resulting in roughly 2,500 professions of faith. Laurie discussed the crusade with Eric Metaxas as an example of redemptive purpose emerging from tragedy, connecting it to a broader wave of renewed religious interest and Erika Kirk's public act of forgiveness toward her husband's accused killer. Laurie had appeared alongside Kirk before the assassination as well, joining a conversation with Kirk and Pastor Rob McCoy about the connective thread linking Israel, the church, and America through shared commitment to truth, and was later named among the faith leaders, alongside Mike Huckabee, Franklin Graham, and others, who publicly honored Kirk as a Christian who brought bold conviction to campus debates without losing the grace of his approach. Laurie's Harvest Church in Riverside, California later hosted the launch of Turning Point USA's Make Heaven Crowded Tour, positioning his ministry directly within the organization's post-assassination outreach strategy.
