Pastor James Kaddis on Faith, the Kirks, and the Trial
Showing 8 James Kaddis videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
James Kaddis, pastor to Charlie and Erika Kirk, appears across this material in two very different moments: hosting Erika at his Orange County church years before Charlie's death, and later giving a televised account of attending Tyler Robinson's murder trial in person. At the church, Erika discussed her faith journey, her understanding of biblical submission, and how those convictions shaped her marriage and ministry alongside Charlie, in an appearance that predates the assassination by several years. In the more recent interview, Kaddis described sitting through the trial's evidence as a painful reminder of the pain the family felt when they first learned what had happened, while expressing pride in how Erika and Charlie's parents, Rob and Kathy, had carried themselves throughout the proceedings. He described some catharsis in seeing the legal process play out and in seeing false claims that had circulated online directly contradicted by the evidence presented in court, framing the entire experience in terms of trusting that ultimate justice belongs to God regardless of the length of the legal process.
