The Assassination of Charlie Kirk: Cancel Culture at Its Darkest

In this episode, we wrestle with the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk.

We talk about what his death means for free speech, for faith, and for the way we engage with people we disagree with.

Charlie Kirk didn’t promote violence. He represented an alternative to it – choosing debate, dialogue, and the courage to say what he believed while respecting those who believed differently. This conversation is about more than politics. It’s about our shared humanity. We explore the dangers of labeling, the wounds behind radicalization, and the urgent need to depolarize and reconcile. Join us as we ask: how do we move forward in love, respect, and truth, even when we disagree?
