Luke Barnett and Angel Barnett Share How They First Met Charlie Kirk and His Enduring Legacy

[00:00] This video was from a a little girl who

[00:04] asked AI what Charlie Kirk may say to us

[00:08] from heaven today.

[00:10] Now, I debated whether to show this, but

[00:12] I think you understand the heart of what

[00:14] I'm trying to do. AI just takes the

[00:16] totality of all a man's statements and

[00:19] bottles them up and then projects what

[00:22] that man would say. It's it's it's

[00:24] really a non-biased look at a person's

[00:26] life. It's only his words and and what

[00:29] he might say to those who are still left

[00:32] behind. I thought I'd share these words

[00:34] that touched me here this week. Take a

[00:36] look at this.

[00:38] First, I want you to know I'm fine. Not

[00:42] because my body is fine, but because my

[00:44] soul is secure in Christ. Death is not

[00:46] the end. It's a promotion. Don't waste

[00:49] one second mourning me. I knew the risks

[00:51] of standing up in this cultural moment,

[00:53] and I'd do it all over again. Second, do

[00:56] not let this violence divide us further.

[00:58] The enemy wants chaos, fear, and

[01:00] retaliation. Don't give it to them.

[01:03] Instead, double down on truth. Double

[01:05] down on courage. Double down on your

[01:08] faith and on your families. That is how

[01:10] you honor me. Third, remember this.

[01:13] America is worth it. Free speech is

[01:15] worth it. Fighting for the unborn, for

[01:18] families, for sanity in a culture gone

[01:20] mad, it is all worth it. So dry your

[01:22] tears, pick up your cross, and get back

[01:25] in the fight. Do it with joy. Do it with

[01:27] strength. And never, ever let evil think

[01:29] it won.

[01:32] Let that be our charge. Amen.

[01:37] [Applause]

[01:38] Brandon Tatum, Officer Tatum, will be

[01:41] joining us in the service. His flight

[01:43] was delayed and he's trying to get here,

[01:45] so he may be walking in during this

[01:47] interview. But Angel, it was uh five

[01:51] years ago that we met Charlie Kirk for

[01:53] the same for the first time. But this is

[01:54] my wife, Angel, by the way, just so you

[01:56] know. Uh but we met Charlie for the

[01:58] first time five years ago. What was your

[02:01] experience?

[02:03] >> We were at a Hispanics for Trump uh

[02:06] rally in Florida. Very brave pastor

[02:08] during that time period to be able to

[02:10] host something like that. And President

[02:12] Trump called out this young man five

[02:15] times. It was Charlie Kirk. Charlie

[02:17] Kirk. Charlie Kirk was like, "Who is

[02:19] this guy? This not young new man." And

[02:23] and I said, "We got to meet him." But we

[02:25] knew there was no way we're going to get

[02:26] to meet him. The the crowd and the size

[02:29] of of the crowd we were never going to

[02:30] get to. And um the next morning we were

[02:33] on our plane. It was like 6:00 a.m. We

[02:35] were going to board. And and I'm my I'm

[02:37] tired. My head's down. And Luke keeps

[02:39] jabbing me. I'm like, "What?" He goes,

[02:41] "Charlie Kirk, it's right in front of

[02:43] you." And I was like couldn't believe

[02:45] the opportunity that maybe God ordained

[02:48] and I do believe that now that we got a

[02:50] chance to start our conversation. Well,

[02:52] we had to board and he was a few seats

[02:55] uh quite a few behind us and we were in

[02:57] a place where we we said, "Hey, let's

[03:00] meet afterwards and baggage claim." And

[03:03] as we began to realize that he looks

[03:05] like I can't wait. I have to record. We

[03:07] cannot stay and meet him. I said,

[03:09] "That's unacceptable." So, I literally

[03:12] acted like I had to go to the bathroom

[03:14] 16 times where I knew he was sitting.

[03:17] And he slept for 4 hours and 15 minutes.

[03:20] I'm like, "This kid can sleep."

[03:24] And so, finally, they're like, "Please

[03:26] sit down, lady. We're about to land."

[03:28] And so, I just time to wake up. I got to

[03:31] talk to you, my friend. He came out of a

[03:33] dead sleep and was immediately engaged.

[03:36] Didn't look at me like I was a crazy

[03:38] stalker that I was. and immediately was

[03:41] interested in what I had to say. And we

[03:43] were um advocating for the women and

[03:46] children that we rescue and recover from

[03:47] human trafficking and sex trafficking.

[03:50] Immediately he's like, "I got to connect

[03:51] you to my friend Yakoban. He can help

[03:54] you." And so the lady's like, "Miss,

[03:57] please be seated. We're landing." And I

[03:59] said, "Would you consider coming to

[04:01] church tomorrow?" And he said, "I will."

[04:04] And we had each other's numbers. I said,

[04:06] "Luke, there's no way he's coming to

[04:07] church." And what a man of his word. Him

[04:11] and at that time his girlfriend Erica

[04:13] showed up to church. They didn't know

[04:15] who we were. And a journey began that

[04:19] day. Distinctive moments in time where

[04:22] we were able to host President Trump and

[04:25] Turning Point Action. And we wanted to

[04:28] be people of our word to Charlie and

[04:32] Freedom Night in America. all the the

[04:36] cultural changes that begin to happen

[04:38] from from that that relationship that I

[04:41] do believe was God ordained.

[04:43] >> You know, uh we went to a Latinos for

[04:45] Yeah. Thank you.

[04:48] We went to that Latinos for Trump rally

[04:50] in Florida and then they had one here in

[04:53] Phoenix, a Latinos for Trump at our our

[04:56] Glendale campus and um I'm watching the

[04:59] news that night and um I think it was

[05:02] like Tucker Carlson or something like

[05:03] that. And I was watching the news and

[05:05] they're broadcasting this big Latinos

[05:08] from for Trump from from Glendale and

[05:11] they showed a picture of the face of

[05:14] Latinos for Trump and this is the

[05:16] picture that came on.

[05:20] I'm like Angel,

[05:23] is that you? And you were on there as

[05:25] well. That's right. And so every time

[05:27] they show a picture and watch for it,

[05:29] you know, on Fox News Latinos for Trump

[05:31] to this day, that picture still comes

[05:32] up. I got people calling from all over

[05:34] America like, "Your wife is Latino." No,

[05:36] she's not Latino, but uh

[05:39] Latina, thank you, Dad. During that

[05:42] time, it was a it was a stressful time

[05:46] for churches. Pastors really couldn't do

[05:49] the right thing. If you open the church

[05:52] during that time, then you were you were

[05:54] killing people. If you close a church,

[05:56] you didn't have enough faith. You didn't

[05:57] trust the Lord. And uh it was just a

[06:00] very tense time. What was your

[06:01] experience? you're watching me lead

[06:03] through all that. What was your

[06:04] experience?

[06:05] >> Well, first of all, I'd like to continue

[06:07] on with your story just a minute because

[06:10] that Sunday morning, I look back and our

[06:13] first service is not as large as our

[06:15] second one. So, you can see people real

[06:17] well. And about back about five rows

[06:21] back where the man with the sunglasses

[06:24] is sitting was Charlie Kirk and his

[06:27] wife.

[06:29] And what impressed me so much was he was

[06:31] into that service. His hands were raised

[06:34] and his wife and they were sobbing

[06:36] during the service. And when they sat

[06:38] down, he had his arm around her. She had

[06:42] her head on his shoulder. And I mean, it

[06:45] was a very moving service. It dealt with

[06:48] what has God called you to do in life.

[06:50] And they were visibly moved. And I

[06:53] remember the first freedom night we had,

[06:57] we're getting ready to try to choose

[06:59] somebody to run for senator, looking for

[07:01] someone. And I said, Charlie, that ought

[07:04] to be you. You could be the next senator

[07:07] of Arizona. And he looked at me and

[07:10] said, "That's so nice of you. Thank you.

[07:14] But you know, I I have a higher calling

[07:17] and I believe I can do more what God has

[07:19] called me to do and to become the

[07:22] senator.

[07:24] And he was so right. He knew where God

[07:27] had called him and for what he had

[07:30] called him and he stuck with it. And

[07:35] then I remember shortly after that that

[07:38] he approached Angel about where could he

[07:41] have his freedom rally. the first big

[07:44] one, the biggest one he ever had. She

[07:46] said, "Well, what size auditorium you

[07:48] need?" He said, "Well, something around

[07:50] 57,000.

[07:53] We can't find a place." She said, "Well,

[07:55] we'll rent you ours." She didn't ask her

[07:57] husband, you know.

[08:00] And she said, "We'll let you use it."

[08:02] And then she went and told Luke. And

[08:04] Luke said, "Oh, no, man. I lied. Young

[08:07] Republican convention. I'm going to get

[08:10] it from the church. Oh my goodness." But

[08:12] then he said, "You know what?

[08:15] We're going to be people of our word.

[08:17] Angels said we'd do it. We're going to

[08:19] do it.

[08:20] >> It's your fault.

[08:21] >> And it's their fault." Amen. And then

[08:25] shortly

[08:26] And then shortly after that, shortly

[08:29] after that, and this is this is very

[08:32] touching, he began to come to the green

[08:35] room and talk to Luke and Angel and tell

[08:38] of all the guests they were going to

[08:39] have. And I mean they were the largest

[08:41] guests in the world. And one day he came

[08:43] and said, "Luke,

[08:45] you won't believe who's coming." And who

[08:48] said who? He said, "President Trump."

[08:53] And Luke at the very first minute said,

[08:58] "Oh God, what am I going to do?" Amen.

[09:01] The whole nation, they're going to be

[09:04] after me. Now,

[09:05] >> this is during COVID 2020, December of

[09:07] love, all that was going on. So, and I

[09:09] want to tell you what is because of this

[09:12] lady waking him up and this man right

[09:16] here sticking with his word. Come on,

[09:18] say a good amen.

[09:21] And all over America,

[09:25] pastors and congregations

[09:28] were bowing at the altar of, "Well,

[09:31] there might be a few that we would lose,

[09:34] but sometime you have to take a stand."

[09:37] >> Amen. My dad used to say to me, "Do

[09:40] right, son. Do right." And he kept

[09:42] saying it. And then he put his hand up

[09:44] and said, "It's always right to do

[09:47] right."

[09:48] One more word and I get right back to

[09:49] you. And this is it.

[09:52] But this could never take place. This

[09:54] man, this woman couldn't take the stand.

[09:57] Charlie Kirk could not have been what he

[10:00] was

[10:02] if it was not for the people. If they

[10:05] hadn't stuck with Luke, his church, if

[10:08] they had not, he could have never done

[10:10] it. If you, the people that came out and

[10:14] served and was in those rallies and you

[10:16] came service after service,

[10:19] you empowered these people. And I want

[10:23] to say to you, I love you and we respect

[10:25] you and we admire you because there can

[10:28] be no great leadership without great

[10:31] fellowship. Now give your hand a good

[10:34] hand.

[10:36] >> I'm going to ask our people with

[10:38] microphones to get in place. If you have

[10:41] a question you'd like to ask uh us here

[10:44] today, please make a line and begin to

[10:46] ask the questions. Other campuses who

[10:48] are watching, you can there's a number

[10:49] on your screen you can text questions in

[10:51] as well. But this is your opportunity to

[10:53] ask any question you'd like about the

[10:55] church, why we took our stand, uh where

[10:58] do we go from here, just questions of

[11:00] that nature. But dad, while they're

[11:01] getting ready and getting in line, um

[11:03] people ask me a lot, where where did you

[11:05] get that power, you know, to stand um

[11:09] that backbone to stand? Well, it really

[11:11] goes back to what I watched you do back

[11:13] in Davenport, Iowa.

[11:15] >> And I watched you during the 70s during

[11:19] the hippie era when there were protests

[11:21] going on all around. But you held a very

[11:24] unique day at church. I think you called

[11:26] it Stand Up for America. Can you talk

[11:28] about that day? Well, briefly we invited

[11:31] the United States Army band to come and

[11:35] we filled the platform with it. We had a

[11:38] recruiter recruiting people for the

[11:41] army.

[11:42] That's right. Right on campus. We had

[11:45] the army to bring tanks.

[11:50] We had all kinds of armory that were

[11:52] filling our audience. And that day we

[11:56] preached on and that was when the hippie

[11:58] movement was going on. That's when they

[12:01] called the police pigs. We had all the

[12:03] policemen wear the uniform sitting in

[12:05] the middle and we honor the policemen of

[12:08] our country. And the next day, and by

[12:10] the way, we ran 47 buses picking up

[12:13] little children. And then exhale on the

[12:15] front page of the Davenport newspaper,

[12:19] there was a picture on the front page

[12:21] with kids climbing all over the tanks

[12:24] and the headlines read, "Stand up for

[12:27] America with guns of war."

[12:31] The next Sunday morning, we could not

[12:33] hold a crowd. Amen. We took a stand way

[12:37] back there.

[12:37] >> So people ask me, I just say, "It's his

[12:39] fault. He raised me this way, you know."

[12:43] Hey, would you welcome Brandon Tatum?

[12:47] >> Talk about a great American.

[12:50] [Music]

[12:50] [Applause]

[12:59] >> Brandon and his dear wife and children

[13:02] attend the church here. They've been

[13:03] such faithful people over the years.

[13:05] We're grateful that you joined us. He

[13:07] has just he has just uh gone through the

[13:10] grapes of wrath to get here today. So,

[13:12] thank you for switching airplanes and

[13:14] making it happen today. We have a first

[13:16] question here. Yeah, we got dozens of

[13:18] questions coming in from online. The

[13:20] first one says, "What can we do to keep

[13:22] making an impact and how can we keep

[13:24] Charlie's mission going forward?"

[13:26] >> Brandon, I'll let you answer that.

[13:29] >> Well, we have to first acknowledge, you

[13:31] know, what we really feel about God. Do

[13:34] we really believe God is sovereign over

[13:36] our lives? Do we really believe God in

[13:38] his word? And if that is true, then we

[13:41] know that all things that God do um is

[13:43] according to his plans. And so even

[13:46] though this was such a tragic situation

[13:49] that happened, I'm heartbroken. I'm

[13:51] trying to hold back getting emotional up

[13:53] here, but I know that God's plan is

[13:56] bigger than ours. And so with that being

[13:58] said, we should view Charlie's life and

[14:01] legacy in proper perspective. and that

[14:04] is that it will continue forever. You

[14:06] can only kill the body but not the

[14:08] legacy and not the spirit. And and

[14:11] everything that Charlie did, we have to

[14:14] do 10 times better. Everything that

[14:17] Charlie

[14:18] stood for

[14:22] as a body of Christ, we have to elevate.

[14:25] for everybody that's out here that may

[14:27] felt may have felt like you didn't have

[14:30] a voice or you were too uh ashamed or or

[14:34] too nervous to speak out. There's no

[14:37] greater time than to be emboldened and

[14:40] speak out and do exactly what Charlie

[14:42] would have done. Okay? And I think

[14:44] that's one of the ways that we can

[14:45] continue his legacy. Join Turning Point

[14:48] if you're a young person. Continue to

[14:50] speak the truth no matter what. Be bold.

[14:53] Be courageous. step beyond your comfort

[14:55] zone and that's going to make us uh

[14:58] better and that's we're going to have uh

[15:01] uh Charlie's legacy continue that way.

[15:04] >> Yeah, I think that we we've all been

[15:06] watching this but I think there's been

[15:08] uh 12,000 inquiries for new uh turning

[15:12] point chapters at colleges and high

[15:14] schools all across America. 12,000 new

[15:16] requests as a result of what's happened

[15:19] this past week that

[15:22] [Applause]

[15:24] you've always told us and told the

[15:25] church, I sat under your leadership for

[15:28] so many years, but you've always said,

[15:29] "I'm not afraid because I believe I'm

[15:31] not going to die one day earlier that

[15:33] God wants me to die." And that's how you

[15:36] lived your life. Would you would you

[15:37] just touch on that for a moment?

[15:40] >> Yes, I will. Sometime

[15:43] it's easier to stand up for yourself.

[15:46] When I was a young man these people's

[15:49] age, it was easy for me to stand up

[15:52] there and fight courageously.

[15:54] Uh because first of all, I knew it was

[15:56] right. Second, I expected to win. Amen.

[16:00] And you know, at that age, you kind of

[16:02] look forward to getting a good fight.

[16:05] But I'll be honest with you now. When I

[16:07] look at my children, my two sons, my

[16:09] daughter, and I saw this stormy coming,

[16:14] I was more reluctant than I was when I

[16:18] was young. I was more reluctant for my

[16:20] children, for them. And that's why I

[16:23] realized with all my heart that the

[16:26] fight really is to get behind the young

[16:28] people, the young people in this church,

[16:31] the young people in America. And

[16:34] speaking of that legacy they just spoke

[16:36] about, this is the age for the young

[16:38] people to rise up. People are predicting

[16:41] the next revival will be among the young

[16:44] people leading the marriage. And I think

[16:47] Charlie led that. Come on. I believe he

[16:51] led that.

[16:52] And uh Oh, I could go on, but that's

[16:56] great. Thank you so much. Question.

[16:59] >> Can you hear me?

[16:59] >> Yes.

[17:01] >> I just wanted to say thank you. one

[17:03] thing um for bringing Charlie Kirk in

[17:06] here and

[17:08] bringing in fright freedom night. Um I

[17:11] had the um opportunity to meet him and I

[17:15] volunteered here for TPS faith. So I one

[17:19] of my questions is will freedom night

[17:22] continue? And then my second question is

[17:26] what do we do about the churches the

[17:29] biblical philosophy that we stand on?

[17:32] What do we do about the ones that are

[17:34] not taking a stand? I I'm I'm really

[17:38] stressed about that.

[17:39] >> Well Well, I am too. And uh I think that

[17:42] we had a decision to make back in 2020.

[17:45] Are we going to be a Micah 68 church or

[17:48] are we going to be a country club?

[17:51] Are we going to be a love boat? We've

[17:52] been known as being a love boat because

[17:54] we have the dream centers and the

[17:56] largest human sex trafficking relief

[17:57] organization in North America. And uh

[18:00] we're known for loving our city, the

[18:02] church with the heart. But we're not

[18:04] only a love boat, we're also a

[18:05] battleship.

[18:06] >> Yes.

[18:06] >> And we can walk and chew gum at the same

[18:08] time. We can love our city, but we can

[18:10] also stand strong on biblical values.

[18:12] Micah 6:8,

[18:14] the people are doing I'll let you go

[18:16] ahead and clap. I got

[18:21] Micah

[18:23] Micah 68. The people of God were doing

[18:26] all kinds of things thinking they were

[18:28] pleasing the Lord.

[18:30] But the Lord rebukes them. And he says,

[18:33] "This is what I expect of you, oh

[18:35] children of Israel, that you do justice,

[18:39] that you love mercy,

[18:42] that you walk humbly with God." Notice

[18:44] what he says. Justice is not just an

[18:47] idea. Justice isn't just a feeling. I

[18:50] feel like we're being just. It's He

[18:52] said, "Do it. do justice. And I have

[18:56] this strong conviction the church is

[18:58] never supposed to be the thermometer

[19:01] following the temperature set by the

[19:03] culture. The church is supposed to be a

[19:05] thermostat that sets the temperature in

[19:07] the culture and raises the temperature

[19:09] of the culture.

[19:14] And look, America

[19:17] in the in in the 1800s was was was

[19:19] thriving. It was great. And we had a

[19:21] French philosopher come over here. He

[19:23] went to all the great places trying to

[19:24] find find out the greatness of America

[19:26] to the colleges to the government halls

[19:28] to the great finance organizations. He

[19:31] was trying to find out the greatness of

[19:32] America. And he wrote, "I only found out

[19:35] how great America was when I went into

[19:37] the churches of God." And they were

[19:40] thundering down with truth the

[19:41] principles and values of the Bible. And

[19:44] I think in so many cases, I think I was

[19:46] kind of popping off a little bit

[19:47] Wednesday night if you were here, but

[19:48] the church is not supposed to be a piggy

[19:50] bank. The church is not supposed to be

[19:51] our little business. It's God's

[19:53] business. It's the most important

[19:55] business on planet earth. And we got to

[19:57] treat it that way. So the the culture is

[19:59] waiting for the church to to set that

[20:02] temperature. And uh the culture is

[20:04] supposed to follow the temperature of

[20:05] our church. To answer your other

[20:06] question about freedom night in America,

[20:08] yes, it's going to continue. We're going

[20:09] to see where God takes it. And we're

[20:11] waiting for someone to rise up. someone

[20:14] to rise up

[20:16] [Applause]

[20:18] as a personality that has influence in

[20:20] the world to lead this charge. Amen. One

[20:24] more time.

[20:27] So, God bless you.

[20:29] >> Thank you very much.

[20:29] >> Yes. Hello. My name is Robert Norris and

[20:32] I'm just kind of curious if you're going

[20:34] to do something to honor Charlie Kirk

[20:37] within the the church here, like name

[20:40] something after him or something. Yeah,

[20:42] we're doing that today in large part.

[20:45] But there's a, you know, there's a uh

[20:46] memorial service taking place next

[20:48] Sunday at Cardinal Stadium. I believe

[20:50] it's at 11 o'clock and it'll be probably

[20:54] the biggest funeral in the history of

[20:56] our nation. Think about it. I can't

[20:58] think of any other funeral that would

[20:59] bigger than this one because this man's

[21:02] made an impact. But we will continue to

[21:04] honor his legacy here at this church.

[21:05] He's he's our one of our guys here. He's

[21:08] he's here every single month teaching on

[21:10] this platform and so we will continue to

[21:14] raise up his honor. Yes.

[21:18] >> Thank you so much for doing this first

[21:19] of all. Um so right now there's like an

[21:21] insane amount of misinformation out

[21:23] there about Charlie quotes taken out of

[21:25] context, thoughtout lies. What do we do

[21:27] as just regular people who are seeing

[21:30] this? And sometimes it feels like you're

[21:31] just shouting into an abyss trying to

[21:33] defend a good man. And I I think the

[21:35] people that feel this way largely are

[21:37] good and they've been aggressively

[21:39] misled, but their hearts are so hardened

[21:41] to hearing what we have to say about who

[21:44] he actually was. And what does it look

[21:46] like for us to defend his legacy against

[21:48] an actual enemy trying to ruin it?

[21:51] >> That's a that's an incredible question.

[21:53] I deal with that every single day I'm on

[21:56] the internet and I try not to get

[21:59] frustrated. Sometimes I do challenge

[22:01] people on the topic, but we have to just

[22:03] continue to disseminate the truth.

[22:05] continue to do your research. Post

[22:08] things that you know that are true. Post

[22:09] clips that you know uh that are are

[22:11] verifications of what Charlie really

[22:13] stood for and don't buy into the

[22:15] nonsense. And I I want to tell everybody

[22:18] here, I know that it is painful. I know

[22:21] that it is tough to deal with and

[22:23] sometimes it's easy to go to a

[22:25] conspiracy to get your mind off of the

[22:28] reality of what happened. But just take

[22:31] a breath. Let's honor Charlie and his

[22:34] legacy first. Let's not buy into all the

[22:37] naysaying and all of those things like

[22:39] that. Let's let's honor Charlie. There

[22:42] will be a time where an investigation

[22:44] will come through and we will be able to

[22:45] critique that investigation. But don't

[22:48] get too riled up. People are hurting,

[22:49] too. And sometimes when they're hurting,

[22:51] they say things they don't mean or they

[22:53] d they dabble in the things that are not

[22:55] true. But we know who Charlie is. We

[22:58] know what Charlie stood for. If you've

[23:00] ever watched his videos, you know

[23:01] exactly where he stand on every single

[23:03] issue that is a topic today. And so,

[23:06] let's just remember that.

[23:12] >> I would also add to that that God

[23:14] defends us. He is our defender. We do

[23:16] not have to defend ourselves or our

[23:19] character. Especially Charlie, look at

[23:22] the world and the global ripple impact.

[23:26] That is where the census stands. Those

[23:29] that stand behind the quiet social media

[23:33] responses is is been too dark and secret

[23:36] of a place for them to exhibit these

[23:40] false accusations.

[23:43] But know that God defends us. Charlie

[23:46] and Erica would say, "Let's make heaven

[23:49] crowded." They stood on that. Look at

[23:52] what is happening. This is global. It is

[23:55] huge. For the very few that get their

[23:58] punches in, that's all they have. So if

[24:02] we can honor him by our lifestyle, by

[24:06] our responses, by moving, by by

[24:10] educating ourselves and expanding our

[24:12] impact, that is how we defend. And you

[24:15] know, this culture has tried out, Jenz

[24:19] has tried out what it tastes like for

[24:21] socialism. They're done. It doesn't

[24:23] taste good. This is why there is a

[24:26] massive shift and the left is nervous

[24:28] and they're concerned because they've

[24:30] lost control. Charlie started that and

[24:32] we will continue it.

[24:34] [Music]

[24:41] Next question over here. Over here.

[24:44] >> Yeah, I'm reading the online chat and

[24:46] there's dozens of people that are saying

[24:47] that they've given their life to Christ

[24:48] because of Charlie Kirk specifically

[24:50] over the last couple days, even this

[24:52] morning.

[24:55] There's also dozens of people in the

[24:57] chat that are asking, "How do I start a

[24:59] relationship with Jesus? How do I give

[25:00] my life to him? And once I do, what's

[25:02] that next step?"

[25:04] >> Officer.

[25:05] >> Oh, it's a great question. Um, I love

[25:07] this question because I remember way

[25:09] back when when I was a young guy, lost

[25:12] in this world, and I finally made the

[25:15] decision after hearing the true gospel

[25:17] of Jesus Christ to give my life to

[25:19] Christ. And it changed me forever. And

[25:22] so the young people that are watching,

[25:24] be ready for a life-changing experience.

[25:26] You don't have to have it all figured

[25:28] out. All you have to do is begin to take

[25:30] steps in the right direction. God will

[25:32] make it right. God will figure it out

[25:34] for you. God take those chains off of

[25:36] you as you continue to go forward. You

[25:38] don't have to be perfect to come to

[25:40] Jesus Christ. You don't. There's not one

[25:43] perfect person that will come to Jesus

[25:44] Christ and be saved. If there if the

[25:46] person was perfect, then there's no need

[25:48] to come to Jesus, right? We need a

[25:51] savior and and the young people

[25:53] especially, you got to take steps in the

[25:55] right direction. Let Charlie be an

[25:57] example. Look at the love that he had

[25:58] for his wife. Look at the family that he

[26:00] created. And I'm going to tell you this,

[26:02] you cannot kill the gospel of Jesus

[26:06] Christ. These cowards,

[26:08] these cowards thought that they could

[26:11] end or eliminate the movement. They just

[26:14] made it bigger. They just made it

[26:16] stronger.

[26:18] I know people

[26:21] that have never heard of Charlie Kirk

[26:23] before. Never heard of him. My little

[26:26] cousin, I was at dinner with him last

[26:27] night. Never heard of Charlie Kirk. He

[26:29] said, "Man, I watched some of his videos

[26:30] and I love that dude, man. He's just

[26:33] keeping it real." People that have never

[26:35] heard of Charlie is now going to hear

[26:37] hear his voice. People that never

[26:39] thought about Christ is going to

[26:41] actually listen because they think they

[26:43] can get online and disparage his

[26:45] character. But there are so many people

[26:46] that are so nosy that they want to see

[26:48] what everybody's talking about. But then

[26:50] when they hear the truth, it will prick

[26:53] their hearts. And I I'll tell you, if

[26:55] you've been pricricked, just follow

[26:57] through. Christ will save you and it's

[26:59] going to be all right.

[27:03] >> Yes. Over here.
