Charlie Kirk's Final Message to America
Charlie Kirk's final book, Stop in the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath Will Transform Your Life, arrived in bookstores around the country after being completed just one month before his assassination. Available at 45Books.com and in bookstores nationwide, the book takes on what Kirk identified as "the machine" of modern life—the never-ending distraction that has everyone at the dinner table staring at their own phones.
The book encourages readers to turn off electronics one day a week, to learn to be truly present with significant others, loved ones, and children, and to genuinely rest. As Kirk wrote, God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh, establishing a pattern for humanity to follow—to stop in the name of God and honor the Sabbath.
Erika Kirk on Navigating Life After Tragedy
Erika Kirk, CEO of Turning Point USA, spoke about how she and her children are doing in the aftermath of Charlie's assassination. "God is good, and we have the most amazing Turning Point USA family," she shared. "They rally around myself, my children, and, you know, chosen families, everything, and then we're blessed with our family itself."
When asked about processing the permanency of her loss, Erika revealed, "The permanency, I will always struggle with the permanency. He was the love of my life. I still talk to him every single day, when I'm getting ready in the morning, when I'm getting ready to go to bed, when I'm going about my day. I still feel him so much with me, and I just, again, the permanency will never, it will never settle in."
Erika shared how her daughter processes her father's passing: "My daughter will ask, what do you think Daddy did today in heaven. We've come to the understanding, and I've tried to explain this to her, that Daddy is still with us, he's just in a different location, and he's building us a home in heaven. She said, I can't wait to go. Me, too, baby. Me, too."
The Scholarship and Power Behind the Book
The book demonstrates Charlie Kirk's abilities as a biblical scholar, with impressive depth that would impress any academic. But beyond the scholarship, the message itself carries tremendous power—turn off your phone Friday night at sunset and don't turn it back on until Saturday night at sunset.
Erika explained the extensive preparation that went into the book: "Charlie would not—he didn't write this book without doing what he's talking about in this book. That's not the way he operates. He learned as much as he could about this topic. We have over 50 books on our bookshelf about the Sabbath. He wanted to know it so deeply, and he saw the fruit of what it was like to actually detach from the world, stop the noise, stop the scrolling, and just put pause on everything and focus on your family."
How the Sabbath Transformed the Kirk Family
The practice of observing the Sabbath didn't happen overnight for the Kirks. "At first, you know, it started with an hour, two hours, but then once he fully incorporated into his life, he totally elevated," Erika recalled. "He became a next level husband which I didn't even think was possible because he was already so incredible to me and the babies."
The transformation came from something remarkably simple: "Just turning your phone off or detaching from TV or your daily life and just taking a minute to pause and breathe, and understanding how important family is, and putting in perspective the battle is already won. Just love on what the Lord has blessed you with."
True rest, as Charlie taught, isn't television or binge-watching. It means being present with family and present with the Lord. "Rest your brain. Rest your heart. Rest your soul. We're not machines. We have souls. We're here to make a difference, and you can't hear from the Lord if you're being inundated constantly from other people trying to take your attention away from what the ultimate goal is."
Busyness Versus Productivity
Erika emphasized an important distinction Charlie made in his work: "Busyness, that's not the same as being productive. We can get bogged down with to-do lists thinking that's productivity. It actually not. Charlie was incredible with time management and time on this earth is so limited. You and I both know that and now we see it in technicolor with what happened to my husband."
She posed a challenging question: "Time is so precious so are you going to spend that time, investing it into your family, investing it into the eternal things or investing into things that you will have in heaven, or are you going to waste that time getting into internet debates and going down rabbit holes?"
The Sabbath as God's Answer to Cultural Chaos
One of the most powerful passages from the book reads: "The Sabbath is not just a nice idea. It's not just a day of rest for the religious or nostalgic. The Sabbath is God's answer to a culture spinning out of control, and it is His ancient rhythm and sanity planted like an anchor in a world swept away by currents and chaos. Six days we work, build and engage. On the seventh day we stop. Not because we're weak. We stop because we're human."
Erika reflected on these words from her 31-year-old husband: "He did not just write this book. He lived it. So when you feel something so deeply and you've experienced it and you have lived it, you want to be able to tell other people, look, this will change your life. I know it might sound simple, but sometimes the best answers are the most simple ones. It is truth."
The entire Turning Point USA team could tell the difference on days when Charlie didn't get a full Sabbath. "This just took him to a whole new level," Erika explained. "And it was in a way where you would look at him and be like, whatever you are doing, I want to do. And he's like, here, and this is his final message."
Charlie's Final Words in His Final Book
"This is Charlie's last book," Erika emphasized. "So people can write books all about my husband and what he believed and what he said and analyze his videos. These are his words, and when you read them you feel him come to life. It's powerful."
Erika admitted she hasn't been able to finish reading the book yet: "I'll be honest, I can't read the last few pages, I'm not there yet. Just emotionally, because when the book is done, it's done."
The book addresses every excuse people might have for not observing a Sabbath—from not having time, to having kids' soccer games, to the possibility that the president might call. Charlie goes through all the objections and says respectfully: it's about making adjustments, not excuses.
The Secret to the Kirks' Marriage
One practice that defined Charlie and Erika's marriage was their daily practice of asking each other: "How can I serve you better?"
Erika explained: "We check in with each other every single day. How can I serve you better? What can I do for you when you come home? He would ask me the same thing, if I wasn't doing something or even if I'm out with the kids, what can I do? How can I make your day better? You are a team and you guys are not at ends with each other. Work together, communicate and grow together, as equally yoked partnership."
She elaborated on what this meant: "What it meant to me was he actually genuinely cared about how he could improve himself as a husband. Not from the standpoint of, you know, look at me, I'm better than you, but from the standpoint of I want to serve you because I love you, and I want to make sure I can be the provider that you need, spiritually, emotionally, and every other way with the children."
An Equally Yoked Partnership
"We never looked at each other as competing roles," Erika shared. "It was never from the standpoint of, well, you're the wife, you need to stay, XYZ, and I'm the husband and I go out. It was always, we're a team. There was no daylight between us. He always told me about his day, everything going on with Turning Point USA, what he was up to, and vice versa."
Their marriage was built on a foundation with God at the center: "We were always in lock step with the Lord. We were equally yoked with the Lord when we got married. Our full line was with the Lord. When we got married, we made that covenant with the Lord. That was not something that was just, oh, this is so cute, we have a really beautiful wedding. No, this is a big deal. You found the love of your life. The Lord has brought you together for a purpose and for a reason and God is going to use your marriage in ways that will blow your mind."
"The love that Charlie and I had, and still have, is something that transcends this world and into heaven and that's why I still feel so connected to him, because again, we made that covenant," Erika explained. "How intentional he was about serving myself, that made me be a better wife. How can I serve you when I get home? How can I love on you better? When you communicate with each other, that's what's missing in this world."
The Cost of Digital Distraction on Families
Erika observed a troubling scene that illustrated the problem Charlie's book addresses: "I saw that tonight. There was a 5-year-old girl at a roundtable with her family of five and the only person with rhinestone headphones on was the 5-year-old girl. What message does that show to her? Your voice doesn't matter."
She emphasized the long-term impact: "You're not raising a little girl. You're raising a woman. So in this book Charlie talks about how important it is, put your phone down, engage with your family, pour into them. That's your legacy. You don't want to ignore that. You want to pour into them."
Christianity as Acknowledging Your Need for Help
Addressing common misconceptions about Christianity, Erika stated: "The first thing you acknowledge as a Christian is you are a failure. You're a sinner, and you need a savior. That's the first thing, so I don't know how that's holier than thou when you realize up front, you need a God and it's not you."
Charlie addressed this in his book as well: "Don't delude yourself. You don't have all the answers. You're not supposed to and that's where it's so important for you to do a deep dive and know your nature. Figure out, obviously, you're not perfect, no one is. Only God is. But there are things that you can do in your life to be able to be more in tune with the Holy Spirit, and be able to make a difference in this life, this short life, and it starts with you realizing you're not perfect. And the world doesn't revolve around you, and you're here to serve and to love others. That's what's most important."
The Neglected Spiritual Component
While people focus extensively on physical health—cold plunges, saunas, vitamins, eating healthier—and on intellectual development through reading and learning, the spiritual component often gets neglected. Yet stillness and quiet are where people often feel closest to God.
Erika warned: "The enemy would love for you not to. The battleground is in your head. The enemy would love nothing more than to be able to just confuse things in your head and make it so loud that you cannot make any decisions, you can't absorb the word, you can't engage with other people. You can't communicate with other people. You're just so—you're on auto pilot. The enemy would love that."
But there's power in stillness: "When you're able to stop and be still with the Lord, that's when he's able to use you the most. When you're surrendered, when you're fully surrendered."
A Book for Everyone
"You don't even have to be religious," Erika emphasized. "You can be a non-observing citizen and use this book to change your life."
The book is available at 45Books.com and represents Charlie Kirk's final statement—a message he lived before he wrote about it, one that transformed his own life and marriage, and one that he believed could change millions of lives.
As Erika noted with profound insight: "You know what's so powerful is he's now living the ultimate Sabbath."
Charlie Kirk will continue to change lives with this book, offering a simple yet transformative practice that people can start with just two hours and work up from there. His final message to America: stop in the name of God, and discover the life-changing power of true rest.

[02:24] DAY, WHEN I'M GETTING READY IN
[02:25] THE MORNING, WHEN I'M GETTING
[02:27] READY TO GO TO BED, WHEN I'M

[02:41] >> Sean: WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT
[02:42] ABOUT THIS ON THE RADIO TODAY
[02:44] BUT WHEN YOU THINK OF HEAVEN,

[02:50] TO THE PERSON ON HIS LEFT, THIS
[02:53] DAY YOU WILL BE WITH ME IN

[03:24] >> MY DAUGHTER WILL ASKED, WHAT
[03:26] DO YOU THINK DADDY DID TODAY IN
[03:28] HEAVEN, WE'VE COME TO THE
[03:30] UNDERSTANDING, AND I'VE TRIED TO
[03:31] EXPLAIN THIS TO HER, THAT DADDY
[03:33] IS STILL WITH US, HE'S JUST IN A
[03:35] DIFFERENT LOCATION, AND HE'S
[03:36] BUILDING US A HOME IN HEAVEN,
[03:39] AND I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE, BUT
[03:41] SHE SAID, I CAN'T WAIT TO GO.
[03:43] ME, TOO, BABY.
[03:44] ME, TOO.
[03:45] >> Sean: YES.
[03:46] THIS IS AN AMAZING MESSAGE.
[03:50] I ACTUALLY, AS I WAS READING THE
[03:52] BOOK, AS YOU CAN TELL --
[03:54] >> I'M THE SAME WAY.
[03:56] >> Sean: I TORE UP CHARLIE'S
[03:57] BOOK.
[03:58] >> I'M THE SAME WAY.
[03:59] >> Sean: BUT I READ EVERY PAGE
[04:00] OF IT.
[04:01] FIRST, HE'S A BIBLICAL SCHOLAR,
[04:03] BEYOND IMPRESSIVE.
[04:05] >> PHENOMENAL.
[04:05] >> Sean: I WOULD THINK ANY
[04:06] SCHOLAR WOULD BE IMPRESSED BY
[04:09] THE SCHOLARSHIP BEHIND THIS.
[04:11] THE SECOND THING THAT STOOD OUT
[04:13] ABOUT THIS IS, WOW, WHAT A
[04:15] POWERFUL MESSAGE, THAT HE'S
[04:18] SENDING, TURN OFF YOUR PHONE,
[04:19] FRIDAY NIGHT AT SUNSET.
[04:21] DON'T TURN IT BACK ON TILL
[04:23] SATURDAY NIGHT AT SUNSET.
[04:25] I THINK THAT COULD BE SHOCKING
[04:27] TO MOST PEOPLE.
[04:28] HOW DID IT WORK IN YOUR LIFE?
[04:30] >> WELL, LET ME JUST EXPLAIN
[04:31] FIRST HOW MUCH TIME AND EFFORT
[04:33] WENT INTO THIS BOOK.
[04:34] CHARLIE WOULD NOT -- HE DIDN'T
[04:37] WRITE THIS BOOK WITHOUT DOING
[04:39] WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT IN THIS
[04:40] BOOK.
[04:41] THAT'S NOT THE WAY HE OPERATES.
[04:43] HE LEARNED AS MUCH AS HE COULD
[04:47] ABOUT THIS TOPIC.
[04:48] WE HAVE OVER 50 BOOKS ON OUR
[04:50] BOOKSHELF ABOUT THE SABBATH.
[04:52] HE WANTED TO KNOW IT SO DEEPLY,
[04:55] AND HE SAW THE FRUIT OF WHAT IT
[04:57] WAS LIKE TO ACTUALLY DETACH FROM
[05:00] THE WORLD, STOP THE NOISE, STOP
[05:03] THE SCROLLING, AND JUST PUT
[05:04] PAUSE ON EVERYTHING AND FOCUS ON
[05:06] YOUR FAMILY.
[05:07] AND HE WAS, YES, AT FIRST, YOU
[05:09] KNOW, IT STARTED WITH AN HOUR.
[05:11] TWO HOURS, BUT THEN ONCE HE
[05:14] FULLY INCORPORATED INTO HIS LIFE
[05:16] HE TOTALLY ELEVATED.
[05:18] HE BECAME A NEXT LEVEL HUSBAND
[05:19] WHICH I DIDN'T EVEN THINK WAS
[05:21] POSSIBLE BECAUSE HE WAS ALREADY
[05:22] SO INCREDIBLE TO ME AND THE
[05:24] BABIES.
[05:25] BUT I SAW HOW THIS CHANGED HIS
[05:26] LIFE AND IT'S SOMETHING SO
[05:28] SIMPLE.
[05:29] SO SIMPLE.
[05:29] JUST TURNING YOUR PHONE OFF OR
[05:32] DETACHING FROM TV OR YOUR DAILY
[05:33] LIFE AND JUST TAKING A MINUTE TO
[05:35] PAUSE AND BREATHE, AND
[05:37] UNDERSTANDING HOW IMPORTANT
[05:39] FAMILY IS, AND PUTTING IN
[05:43] PERSPECTIVE THE BATTLE IS
[05:44] ALREADY WON.
[05:46] JUST LOVE ON WHAT THE LORD HAS
[05:50] BLESSED YOU WITH.
[05:52] >> Sean: HE TALKED ABOUT HOW
[05:53] THAT'S REAL REST.
[05:54] IT'S NOT TELEVISION, OR BINGE
[05:56] WATCHING, IT MEANS PRESENT WITH
[05:57] YOUR FAMILY.
[05:58] >> PRESENT WITH YOUR FAMILY,
[05:59] PRESENT WITH THE LORD.
[06:00] REST YOUR BRAIN.
[06:01] REST YOUR HEART.
[06:03] REST YOUR SOUL.
[06:05] WE'RE NOT MACHINES.
[06:06] WE HAVE SOULS.
[06:07] WE'RE HERE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE,
[06:10] AND, YOU CAN'T HEAR FROM THE
[06:12] LORD, IF YOU'RE BEING INUNDATED
[06:15] CONSTANTLY FROM OTHER PEOPLE
[06:16] TRYING TO TAKE YOUR ATTENTION
[06:17] AWAY FROM WHAT THE ULTIMATE GOAL
[06:19] S. HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO MAKE
[06:22] DECISIONS FOR YOUR FAMILY, YOUR
[06:23] COMPANY, AND XYZ IF YOU'RE
[06:27] INUNDATED.
[06:27] WE TALKED ABOUT THIS EARLIER,
[06:31] BUSYNESS.
[06:31] THAT'S NOT THE SAME AS BEING
[06:33] PRODUCTIVE.
[06:34] >> Sean: THE WAY HE WRITES IT IS
[06:36] VERY POWERFUL.
[06:37] >> WE CAN GET GOINGELED DOWN
[06:38] WITH TO-DO LISTS THINKING THAT'S
[06:40] PRODUCTIVITY.
[06:41] IT ACTUALLY NOT.
[06:42] CHARLIE WAS INCREDIBLE WITH TIME
[06:43] MANAGEMENT AND TIME ON THIS
[06:44] EARTH IS SO LIMITED.
[06:46] YOU AND I BOTH KNOW THAT AND NOW
[06:47] WE SEE IT IN TECHNICOLOR WITH
[06:49] WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HUSBAND.
[06:51] TIME IS SO PRECIOUS SO ARE YOU
[06:52] GOING TO SPEND THAT TIME,
[06:54] INVESTING IT INTO YOUR FAMILY,
[06:55] INVESTING IT INTO THE ETERNAL
[06:56] THINGS OR INVESTING INTO THINGS
[06:57] THAT YOU WILL HAVE IN HEAVEN, OR
[06:59] ARE YOU GOING TO WASTE THAT TIME
[07:02] GETTING INTO INTERNET DEBATES
[07:03] AND GOING DOWN RABBIT HOLES.
[07:05] >> Sean: YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE
[07:07] ON THE RADIO SHOW TODAY I ASKED
[07:08] YOU TO READ A PASSAGE BECAUSE I
[07:10] THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BETTER
[07:11] COMING FROM YOU.
[07:14] IT WAS THE SABBATH IS NOT JUST A
[07:15] NICE IDEA.
[07:16] IT'S NOT JUST A DAY OF REST FOR
[07:18] THE RELIGIOUS OR NOSTALGIC.
[07:20] THE SABBATH IS GOD'S ANSWER TO A
[07:23] CULTURE SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL,
[07:26] AND IT IS HIS ANCIENT RHYTHM AND
[07:28] SANITY PLANTED LIKE A ANCHOR IN
[07:31] A WORLD SWEPT AWAY BY CURRENTS
[07:33] AND KAY OH, AND HE SAID SIX DAYS
[07:35] WE WORK, BUILD AND ENGAGE.
[07:36] ON THE SEVENTH DAY WE STOP.
[07:39] NOT BECAUSE WE'RE WEAK.
[07:40] WE STOP BECAUSE WE'RE HUMAN.
[07:43] >> UH-HUH.
[07:44] >> Sean: I MEAN, HE'S 31 YEARS
[07:46] OLD.
[07:47] AND THAT'S WAY MORE PROFOUND
[07:49] THAN I THINK OF ANYTHING I COULD
[07:51] SAY.
[07:52] >> AGAIN, HE DID NOT JUST WRITE
[07:53] THIS BOOK.
[07:54] HE LIVED IT.
[07:55] SO WHEN YOU FEEL SOMETHING SO
[07:57] DEEPLY AND YOU'VE EXPERIENCED IT
[07:58] AND YOU HAVE LIVED IT, YOU WANT
[08:00] TO BE ABLE TO TELL OTHER PEOPLE,
[08:02] LOOK THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
[08:03] I KNOW IT MIGHT SOUND SIMPLE.
[08:05] BUT SOMETIMES THE BEST ANSWERS
[08:08] ARE THE MOST SIMPLE ONES.
[08:10] IT IS TRUTH.
[08:11] AND HE, AGAIN, OUR WHOLE TEAM
[08:14] KNEW ON DAYS WHERE HE DIDN'T GET
[08:16] A FULL SABBATH, AND DID BECAUSE
[08:19] HE JUST WAS SO LOCKED IN AND HE
[08:21] JUST, AGAIN, WAS THE MOST
[08:23] INCREDIBLE MAN, BUT THIS JUST
[08:24] TOOK HIM TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL.
[08:27] AND IT WAS IN A WAY WHERE YOU
[08:28] WOULD LOOK AT HIM AND BE LIKE,
[08:30] WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING, I WANT
[08:32] TO DO.
[08:33] AND HE'S LIKE, HERE, AND THIS IS
[08:34] HIS FINAL MESSAGE.
[08:35] THIS IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO
[08:37] EXPRESS TO PEOPLE.
[08:38] THIS IS CHARLIE'S LAST BOOK.
[08:40] SO PEOPLE CAN WRITE BOOKS ALL
[08:41] ABOUT MY HUSBAND AND WHAT HE
[08:42] BELIEVED AND WHAT HE SAID AND
[08:44] ANALYZE HIS VIDEOS.
[08:45] THESE ARE HIS WORDS, AND WHEN
[08:47] YOU READ THEM YOU FEEL HIM COME
[08:49] TO LIFE.
[08:50] IT'S POWERFUL.
[08:52] >> Sean: IT IS VERY POWERFUL.
[08:53] AND IT REALLY CAUSED ME, AS I
[08:55] READ IT, AGAIN, I READ THE WHOLE
[08:59] THING, YOU KNOW --
[09:00] >> I'LL BE HONEST, I CAN'T READ
[09:02] THE LAST FEW PAGES, I'M NOT
[09:03] THERE YET.
[09:04] JUST EMOTIONALLY, BECAUSE WHEN
[09:05] THE BOOK IS DONE, IT'S DONE.
[09:08] >> Sean: OF COURSE.
[09:09] EVERYBODY THINKS WE SHOULD ALL
[09:10] MOURN A CERTAIN WAY.
[09:11] UNTIL YOU WALK A MILE IN SOMEONE
[09:13] ELSE'S SHOES, YOU KNOW, DON'T
[09:15] LECTURE PEOPLE.
[09:16] >> A HUNDRED PERCENT.
[09:17] >> Sean: BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I
[09:19] GREW UP IN AN IRISH FAMILY.
[09:22] ONE CORNER OF THE ROOM, PEOPLE
[09:23] WERE PRETTY WASTED, PEOPLE WERE
[09:28] DRINKING HEAVILY.
[09:29] ANOTHER CORNER OF THE ROOM,
[09:31] PEOPLE ARE CRYING, IN ANOTHER
[09:33] CORNER OF THE ROOM, PEOPLE
[09:36] COULDN'T STOP TOUCHING THE DEAD
[09:39] BODY.
[09:40] IT USED TO FREAK ME OUT.
[09:41] I FELT AT ONE POINT IN THE BOOK,
[09:43] MAN, THIS LECTURE WAS JUST FOR
[09:45] ME BUT I THINK IT APPLIES TO
[09:48] EVERYONE.
[09:49] IT'S SORT OF LIKE A SALESPERSON
[09:51] OVERCOMING OBJECTIONS.
[09:52] >> RIGHT.
[09:53] >> Sean: HE GIVES YOU EVERY
[09:54] EXCUSE YOUR MIND CAN THINK OF
[09:55] NOT TO DO THIS.
[09:56] >> A HUNDRED PERCENT.
[09:57] >> Sean: I'M LIKE, CHECK, CHECK,
[09:59] CHECK.
[10:00] OH, THE PRESIDENT MAY CALL.
[10:01] >> EXACTLY.
[10:02] YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO DO THIS.
[10:04] YOU HAVE KIDS SOCCER GAMES.
[10:05] KNOW, HE GOES THROUGH ALL OF IT,
[10:07] AND HE SAYS RESPECTFULLY, IT'S
[10:09] MAKING ADJUSTMENTS, NOT EXCUSES.
[10:12] >> Sean: AFTER ALL THIS
[10:14] HAPPENED, YOU KNOW, I KNEW
[10:16] CHARLIE'S POLITICAL SIDE BUT THE
[10:18] MOST IMPORTANT PART OF SEAN
[10:19] HANNITY IS THE PERSONAL, PRIVATE
[10:22] SIDE, THAT'S BEEN HESITANT,
[10:24] NEVER WANTED TO PROSELYTIZE, AND
[10:26] ESPECIALLY AS I HAVE GOTTEN
[10:28] OLDER, MY FAITH HAS GROWN
[10:30] STRONGER AND STRONGER.
[10:31] AND AFTER THIS HAPPENED, AND HE
[10:34] WAS ASSASSINATED, YOU KNOW,
[10:37] AINSLY, FOR EXAMPLE, AND MYSELF,
[10:38] STARTED WATCHING VIDEOS OF THE
[10:39] TWO OF YOU AND ONE REALLY STOOD
[10:43] OUT ABOUT HOW YOU CHARLIE WOULD
[10:44] ALWAYS ASK YOU AND YOU WOULD ASK
[10:47] HIM HOW YOU CAN SERVE EACH
[10:49] OTHER.
[10:49] IN A LOT OF MARRIAGES THAT GO
[10:52] WRONG, WELL, SHE WON'T -- HE
[10:54] WON'T, HORRIBLE COOK, WHATEVER.
[10:56] >> RIGHT.
[10:57] >> Sean: RIGHT?
[10:57] I WANT TO PLAY A LITTLE OF THAT.
[11:00] >> WE CHECK IN WITH EACH OTHER
[11:01] EVER SINGLE DAY.
[11:02] HOW CAN I SERVE YOU BETTER?
[11:07] WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU WHEN YOU
[11:09] COME HOME?
[11:10] HE WOULD ASK ME THE SAME THING,
[11:12] IF I WASN'T DOING SOMETHING OR
[11:13] EVEN IF I'M OUT WITH THE KIDS
[11:15] WHAT CAN DIE?
[11:16] HOW CAN I MAKE YOUR DAY BETTER?
[11:18] YOU ARE A TEAM AND YOU GUYS ARE
[11:20] NOT AT ENDS WITH EACH OTHER.
[11:22] WOK TOGETHER, COMMUNICATE AND
[11:25] GROW TOGETHER, AS EQUALLY YOKED
[11:29] PARTNERSHIP.
[11:29] >> Sean: I THINK THERE IS A LOT
[11:30] OF DEEP MEANING IN THAT AND A
[11:31] LOT OF LESSONS FOR COUPLES TO
[11:34] LEARN.
[11:35] CAN YOU GIVE US MORE DETAIL.
[11:36] WHAT DID IT MEAN FOR YOU TO
[11:37] SERVE HIM AND FOR HIM TO SERVE
[11:40] YOU?
[11:41] BECAUSE, I OFTEN JOKE, WHY DID
[11:42] THEY TAKE AWAY LOVE, HONOR,
[11:46] OBEY?
[11:49] I'M KIDDING.
[11:50] I'M -- BUT WHAT DID IT MEAN TO
[11:53] YOU.
[11:53] >> WHAT IT MEANT TO ME WAS HE
[11:55] ACTUALLY GENUINELY CARED ABOUT
[11:57] HOW HE COULD IMPROVE HIMSELF AS
[11:59] A HUSBAND.
[12:00] NOT FROM THE STANDPOINT OF, YOU
[12:01] KNOW, LOOK AT ME, I'M BETTER
[12:03] THAN YOU, BUT FROM THE
[12:05] STANDPOINT OF I WANT TO SERVE
[12:06] YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, AND I
[12:08] WANT TO MAKE SURE I CAN BE THE
[12:09] PROVIDER THAT YOU NEED,
[12:11] SPIRITUALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND
[12:12] EVERY OTHER WAY WITH THE
[12:13] CHILDREN.
[12:14] AND WE NEVER LOOKED AT EACH
[12:15] OTHER AS COMPETING ROLES.
[12:17] IT WAS NEVER FROM THE STANDPOINT
[12:19] OF, WELL, YOU'RE THE WIFE, YOU
[12:21] NEED TO STAY, XYZ, AND I'M THE
[12:23] HUH AND I GO OUT.
[12:25] IT WAS ALWAYS, WE'RE A TEAM.
[12:26] THERE WAS NO DAYLIGHT BETWEEN
[12:28] US.
[12:29] HE ALWAYS TOLD ME ABOUT HIS DAY,
[12:31] EVERYTHING GOING ON WITH TURNING
[12:33] POINT USA, WHAT HE WAS UP TO,
[12:36] AND VICE VERSA.
[12:37] WE WERE ALWAYS IN LOCK STEP WITH
[12:41] THE LORD.
[12:42] WE WERE EQUALLY YOKED WITH THE
[12:43] LORD WHEN WE GOT MARRIED.
[12:46] OUR FULL LINE WAS WITH THE LORD.
[12:49] WHEN WE GOT MARRIED, WE MADE
[12:50] THAT COVENANT WITH THE LORD.
[12:52] THAT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT WAS
[12:53] JUST, OH, THIS IS SO CUTE.
[12:54] WE HAVE A REALLY BEAUTIFUL
[12:56] WEDDING.
[12:57] NO, THIS IS A BIG DEAL.
[12:59] YOU FOUND THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE.
[13:02] THE LORD HAS BROUGHT YOU
[13:03] TOGETHER FOR A PURPOSE AND FOR A
[13:05] REASON AND GOD IS GOING TO USE
[13:07] YOUR MARRIAGE IN WAYS THAT WILL
[13:09] BLOW YOUR MIND, AND YES, THERE
[13:10] IS SOME PAIN IN THAT.
[13:13] THERE IS SOME DEEP PAIN.
[13:14] NOT EVERYONE WILL UNDERSTAND IT.
[13:16] AND I DON'T EXPECT ANYONE ELSE
[13:18] TO, BUT THE LOVE THAT CHARLIE
[13:19] AND I HAD, AND STILL HAVE, IS
[13:22] SOMETHING THAT TRANSCENDS THIS
[13:23] WORLD AND INTO HEAVEN AND THAT'S
[13:25] WHY I STILL FEEL SO CONNECTED TO
[13:26] HIM, BECAUSE AGAIN, WE MADE THAT
[13:29] COVENANT, AND HOW INTENTIONAL HE
[13:31] WAS ABOUT SERVING MYSELF, THAT
[13:32] MADE ME BE A BETTER WIFE.
[13:36] HOW CAN I SERVE YOU WHEN I GET
[13:38] HOME?
[13:39] HOW CAN I LOVE ON YOU BETTER?
[13:40] WHEN YOU COMMUNICATE WITH EACH
[13:42] OTHER, THAT'S WHAT'S MISSING IN
[13:43] THIS WORLD.
[13:44] YOU TALK ABOUT US BEING DETACHED
[13:45] ON OUR PHONES AT DINNER.
[13:47] I SAW THAT TONIGHT.
[13:48] THERE WAS 5-YEAR-OLD GIRL AT A
[13:50] ROUNDTABLE WITH HER FAMILY OF
[13:54] FIVE AND THE ONLY PERSON WITH
[13:54] RHINESTONE HEADPHONES ON WAS THE
[13:57] 5-YEAR-OLD GIRL.
[13:57] WHAT MESSAGE DOES THAT SHOW TO
[14:00] HER?
[14:00] YOUR VOICE DOESN'T MATTER.
[14:01] YOU'RE NOT RAISING A LITTLE
[14:02] GIRL.
[14:03] YOU'RE RAISING A WOMAN, SO IN
[14:05] THIS BOOK CHARLIE TALKS ABOUT
[14:06] HOW IMPORTANT IT IS, PUT YOUR
[14:07] PHONE DOWN, ENGAGE WITH YOUR
[14:09] FAMILY, POUR INTO THEM.
[14:10] THAT'S YOUR LEGACY.
[14:11] YOU DON'T WANT TO IGNORE THAT.
[14:13] YOU WANT TO POUR INTO THEM.
[14:15] >> Sean: ARE PEOPLE ACTUALLY, DO
[14:16] THEY SPEND ALL THAT TIME RUNNING
[14:19] AWAY, THEY DON'T WANT TO FACE
[14:20] WHATEVER IT IS, I MEAN, I THINK
[14:22] ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS TO DO
[14:24] IN LIFE, I THINK CHRISTIANITY IS
[14:26] MISUNDERSTOOD IN A LOT OF WAYS.
[14:28] AND, YOU KNOW, OH, I'M A
[14:31] CHRISTIAN.
[14:31] YOU THINK YOU ARE HOLIER THAN
[14:33] THOUSAND.
[14:33] I DON'T BELIEVE THAT AT ALL.
[14:34] THE FIRST THING YOU ACKNOWLEDGE
[14:36] AS A CHRISTIAN IS YOU ARE A
[14:38] FAILURE.
[14:38] >> YOU'RE A SINNER, AND YOU NEED
[14:40] A SAVIOR.
[14:41] THAT'S THE FIRST THING, SO I
[14:42] DON'T KNOW HOW THAT'S HOLIER
[14:43] THAN THOUSAND WHEN YOU REALIZE
[14:45] UP FRONT, YOU NEED A GOD AND
[14:47] IT'S NOT YOU.
[14:48] >> Sean: AND YOU'RE ASKING FOR
[14:51] HELP AND YOU'RE ASKING FOR
[14:52] TRANSFORMATION.
[14:53] >> CORRECT.
[14:53] >> Sean: THE WORD IN LATIN,
[14:56] REPENTANCE, MEANS TO CHANGE
[14:57] ONE'S HEART AND YOU'RE ASKING
[14:58] FOR HELP TO DO THAT.
[15:00] >> RIGHT.
[15:01] AND CHARLIE TALKS ABOUT THAT IN
[15:03] THIS BOOK, DON'T DOE LIES
[15:04] YOURSELF.
[15:05] YOU DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS.
[15:06] YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO AND
[15:07] THAT'S WHERE IT'S SO IMPORTANT
[15:08] FOR YOU TO DO A DEEP DIVE AND
[15:10] KNOW YOUR NATURE.
[15:11] LIKE CHARLIE SAID, FIGURE OUT,
[15:13] OBVIOUSLY, YOU'RE NOT PERFECT,
[15:14] NO ONE IS.
[15:16] ONLY GOD IS.
[15:16] BUT THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU
[15:17] CAN DO IN YOUR LIFE TO BE ABLE
[15:20] TO BE MORE IN TUNE WITH THE HOLY
[15:22] SPIRIT, AND BE ABLE TO MAKE A
[15:24] DIFFERENCE IN THIS LIFE, THIS
[15:28] SHORT LIFE, AND IT STARTS WITH
[15:30] YOU REALIZING YOU'RE NOT
[15:32] PERFECT.
[15:32] AND THE WORLD DOESN'T REVOLVE
[15:33] AROUND YOU, AND YOU'RE HERE TO
[15:35] SERVE AND TO LOVE OTHERS.
[15:36] THAT'S WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT.
[15:38] >> Sean: YOU KNOW, YOU TALK
[15:39] ABOUT WHAT THAT'S RIGHT OF
[15:43] CHRISTIANITY IS.
[15:44] WHAT WAS JESUS' COMMANDMENT,
[15:47] LOVE OTHERS AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.
[15:49] AND HE GAVE THE ULTIMATE
[15:51] SACRIFICE.
[15:52] >> CORRECT.
[15:52] >> Sean: AS I LOOK AT THIS AND
[15:54] BY THE WAY, IT'S 45BOOKS.com, I
[15:56] HOPE EVERYONE WILL GET A HOLD OF
[15:58] IT.
[15:58] WE'RE MIND, BODY, AND SPIRIT.
[16:01] AND WE'RE ALL INTO HEALTH,
[16:03] WELLNESS, FITNESS, NUTRITION,
[16:08] AND LONGEVITY.
[16:08] COLD PLUNGE.
[16:11] >> SAUNAS, VITAMINS.
[16:13] >> Sean: EATING HEALTHIER.
[16:15] WE NOURISH OUR MINDS BY READING
[16:18] AND INTELLECTUAL KNOWLEDGE.
[16:19] WE NOURISH OUR BODIES.
[16:20] WE EAT HEALTHIER, WE WORK OUT.
[16:21] BUT I THINK WE OFTEN FORGET THE
[16:24] SPIRITUAL COMPONENT OF HUMAN
[16:26] EXISTENCE, AND STILLNESS.
[16:27] I THINK MY BEST MOMENTS OR THE
[16:29] MOMENTS I FEEL CLOSEST TO GOD IS
[16:32] WHEN I'M STILL, AND I'M QUIET.
[16:35] AND I DON'T DO IT ENOUGH.
[16:37] I PROBABLY DON'T.
[16:38] I DON'T.
[16:38] >> THE ENEMY WOULD LOVE FOR YOU
[16:40] NOT TO.
[16:40] THE BATTLEGROUND IS IN YOUR
[16:42] HEAD.
[16:43] THE ENEMY WOULD LOVE NOTHING
[16:43] MORE THAN TO BE ABLE TO JUST
[16:45] CONFUSE THINGS IN YOUR HEAD AND
[16:46] MAKE IT SO LOUD THAT YOU CANNOT
[16:48] MAKE ANY DECISIONS, YOU CAN'T
[16:50] ABSORB THE WORKED YOU CAN'T
[16:52] ENGAGE WITH OTHER PEOPLE.
[16:53] YOU CAN'T COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER
[16:54] PEOPLE.
[16:55] YOU'RE JUST SO -- YOU'RE ON AUTO
[16:57] PILOT.
[16:58] THE ENEMY WOULD LOVE THAT.
[16:59] BUT WHEN YOU'RE ABLE TO STOP AND
[17:01] BE STILL WITH THE LORD, THAT'S
[17:02] WHEN HE'S ABLE TO USE YOU THE
[17:04] MOST.
[17:05] WHEN YOU'RE SURRENDERED, WHEN
[17:06] YOU'RE FULLY SURRENDERED.
[17:08] >> Sean: IT'S LIKE SAYING THE
[17:10] LORD'S PRAYER SLOWLY.
[17:11] AND NOT GETTING, OH, I'M
[17:13] THINKING ABOUT MY NEXT SHOW OR
[17:14] THINKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW WHAT
[17:16] I'M GOING TO SAY TO SO AND SO
[17:18] THE NEXT TIME I SEE THEM.
[17:20] >> THAT'S RIGHT.
[17:21] THAT'S WHAT'S SO IMPORTANT.
[17:22] WHEN YOU SAY THAT PRAYER AND YOU
[17:23] CATCH YOURSELF THINKING, OUTSIDE
[17:25] OF THAT SPACE, START OVER.
[17:29] >> Sean: I START OVER.
