PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

JANUARY 7, 2026

We believe it is obligatory that we inform you (the public) of where we stand
in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s death.

We are well-aware of the “shenanigans” being uncovered and brought to light. The dishonor and deceit is abhorrent. The evidence is glaring and can no longer be excused or dismissed.

We encourage everyone to practice biblical discernment. We are to be as shrewd as serpents and gentle as doves. Charlie’s loss was enormous for America and the world, and we still grieve him. He was the best of men.

Sadly, we hereby inform you that we no longer endorse or support Turning Point USA
under the leadership of Erika Kirk.

_________________

It’s been a long month of silence here in loving memory of Charlie Kirk. 

We posted our memoriam unto him on the sabbath day of September 13th, 2025, and for 30 days we took time to mourn, pray, and prepare for this next season. Today is his birthday, and I’d like to discuss with everyone what has happened. The High Holy Days have passed. Sukkot has officially ended, and I believe these last 30 days were appropriately timed to remember him.

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord,” (Matthew 25:23, KJV).

My Response

26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular,” (1 Corinthians 12:26-27, KJV).

I was never a follower of Charlie Kirk (as followers are known today), but I was familiar with him. I knew who he was, and I had both seen and listened to his debates from time to time as they crossed my path. I always found him invigorating and refreshing. Never in my life have I had such a spiritually deep response to someone’s death, whom I had never met or followed. I wept for days and my spirit was crushed in a way I cannot describe. I felt like I had lost my dearest brother. A kindred spirit. Prayer was not enough. I took the time to get to know Charlie and his loving wife, Erika, during my time of grief. I did what many of you have done: I listened to his podcasts, watched his videos and debates. I visited his website and read every page. I found comfort and solace, as so many of us did, by spending time online with others who were weeping and grieving.

I found it hard to know what to pray. I struggled to find words. I wept. I went stone silent. I would daze on an off. I had good days, and I had bad days. I found myself pondering a lot. I wasted time. I spent entire days thinking, wondering what to do. There were triggers and things I found hard to watch; activities I found impossible to enjoy; things I could no longer do at all. The Holy Spirit moved in my life to renew me in ways I did not expect, to expose areas that went unattended or forgotten, and I personally found freedom in areas that were difficult to overcome. I experienced a wave of repentance, and areas of my life that were weak and broken, God quickly began to mend. All of this was unexpected, sudden, and disillusioning. It revealed my complacency and my fear. I needed to be re-awakened. I needed to be reminded of just how precious our lives are, how time lost is never regained, and I needed the shove from God to move forward in areas where I had been painfully complacent or undecided. It wasn’t long until I understood why I was so profoundly affected. Charlie Kirk was indeed a brother in Christ of the keenest kind, and his loss was monumental not just spiritually, but socially, and politically. I heard someone say that we, as Christ’s body, are grieving, and those who felt this so profoundly, no doubt share in the same Holy Spirit. I wholeheartedly agree. I also heard someone say that church leaders who remained silent with respect to Charlie’s martyrdom should be noted. I also wholeheartedly agree.

Charlie unapologetically demonstrated and revealed to all of us how to live, be fulfilled, and follow Christ. He boldly shepherded the youth of our generation. It’s been a long time since I’ve witnessed someone so authentic, so bold and strategic, yet so simple and profoundly powerful in their faith.

God’s Response

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit,” (John 12:24, KJV).

God did something extraordinary through Charlie’s life. But He did something even greater through his death that just awes me, and I truly don’t fully understand it. I’ve tried, and I can’t. I simply marvel at it. We have witnessed a global shaking, and a revival of “biblical” proportion across the world in ways that are difficult to describe, and I dare say I’ve never seen before — ever. I have studied revivals of old. They shook states, nations, and territories. But the world? I’ve not seen or heard of this since the Reformation. This is both mysterious and wonderful despite the pain and trauma of Charlie’s passing. Through a vast spread of social media accounts, and by reading comments from others, I’ve learned that people the world over have returned to church, unbelievers have come to Christ, people have suddenly and miraculously been freed from alcohol and addictions of various kinds, including pornography and hard drugs. They’ve even stopped teetering in their relationships and decided to either marry and have children, or break away from  unhealthy relationships to move forward with God and His purpose. Church leaders have been challenged, and strangely many have been silent, saying absolutely nothing. I do indeed believe we should take careful note of those individuals. Yet common people everywhere, from seemingly every background, have taken active steps of faith toward Christ to pursue their callings, destiny, purpose, mission, and legacy — even if they are not Christians. I’ve never in my life seen anything like this happen before. And we’re not talking one nation or state — this has happened worldwide. This is unprecedented.

There were marches in the streets; namely the one in London on September 14th, which some estimate to be over one million people. They cried out, carrying signs and posters of Charlie, demanding their freedoms be returned to them by the government.

Then there was his memorial. An estimated 300,000 people (both inside and outside both arenas) gathered to celebrate and grieve the loss of Charlie Kirk; with millions more online around the world. Such individuals included laymen, clergy, and dignitaries from all over the globe, most notably our President, his cabinet, and select congressmen. Never before has this happened. This was a first. Erika’s response of forgiveness was not only shocking, but brave, leaving us all in awe of God’s mercy and grace in such a terrible time of weakness, trauma, and pain. I remember the ripple of gasps that erupted with her declaration. It was truly a supernatural moment.

The world awakened, grieved, and responded with weeping, mourning, demonstration, and finally, the celebration of his life.

The Cry of Blood

9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?

10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.

11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;” (Genesis 4:9-11, KJV).

 

9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled,” (Revelation 6:9-11, KJV).

Blood is a powerful and mysterious thing, biblically. There’s no shortcut to studying it. From Genesis to Revelation, the topic of blood is quite literally a recurrent theme that carries extraordinary weight, power, symbolism, and finally: redemption.

I believe we have witnessed the indelible and incarnate cry of innocent blood. What is more, it was the blood of a martyr. The first and last book of the Bible speak to this cry in the very same verses: 9-11 (in context). Please note verses 10 in each of these books. Charlie was murdered on 9-10. For those of you who may question the significance of numbers in the Bible, God is expert, and every Hebrew letter is assigned a corresponding number. The Book of Esther, when it is translated by number, reveals the Holocaust of the Jews with such prophetic precision it is frightening. Ten is the number of just weights and measures and corresponds to judgment: hence, we find the number ten in the Ten Commandments, the parable of the Ten Virgins, and the Ten Talents — all which speak to God’s righteous judgment and the execution thereof. The number ten is even evident in God’s creation in that we each have ten fingers with which to do the Lord’s handiwork, and ten toes by which we walk in His ways.

As an RN, I believe I have some insight into blood, and I believe it’s appropriate to share here. For whatever it’s worth, blood contains more than just various cells. It contains DNA, clotting factors, hormones, chemicals by which cells communicate and replicate, and every nutrient needed for life itself, including oxygen. Blood is very unique to each individual, and there are rare blood types that are very difficult, and even impossible, to cross-match (i.e. Gold Blood). Every blood product we use in the medical field is, of course, donated. It is extraordinarily precious, which I know, goes without saying. However, when you study blood from the perspective of Hematology, it becomes something much more than a precious substance in your body. You begin to understand the absolute sanctity of it and the marvelous creation of God. You begin to revere it for what it is, to protect it, and you see it through different eyes of understanding that I cannot fully expound upon here. Know this: Blood is both complex and sacred. To treat it as anything less is simply sinful. As a nurse, I’m very conscientious about blood when I’m drawing it for labs, transfusing it to patients, and I try very hard to fully educate my patients on any interventions or diseases involving it. Blood is to be cherished. My understanding, both medically and biblically, for why God has sanctified the blood of every human being — and why the blood of His Son is therefore the only means of redemption for us, compels me explain. Case and point: When the blood of someone is spilled by an act of murder — God hearkens and responds accordingly.

Now, I have witnessed the deaths of several great men throughout my life, namely Christian leaders, along with the response that followed. I well remember when Pastor David Wilkerson passed in 2011. He was considered one of the “greats” who lived a blameless life before God and man. His reach was tremendous and his work, to this day, impacts the world. David Wilkerson died in a tragic accident when he collided with a semi-truck. This was something no one could have anticipated, and his death was considered premature by many. Although he was commemorated and celebrated, grieved and missed, I do not recall any such worldwide response. Likewise, I remember when Reverend Billy Graham passed away in 2018; also renown as another “great”. We all mourned him, as he was known to be “America’s Pastor”. But Reverend Graham died of the natural order: that being old age. It was anticipated, and he was perceived to have lived his life according to the full number of his days as allotted by the Lord. The response to Reverend Graham’s passing still was not comparable to the worldwide response Charlie’s garnered. These are only two examples. But I realize my response was different. I did not weep when these great men of God died. I did not actively mourn and grieve. But nor did I feel the deep trauma so many have struggled with what took place in Charlie’s death.

I humbly refrain from trying to figure it all out. I can’t. But one thing God has shown me irrevocably, which I am convicted to share with you: We have witnessed the cry of innocent blood and God’s vengeance upon it. This season has been nothing shy of miraculous. God has responded to Charlie’s death with a spiritual vengeance upon the enemy that has shocked all of us. He has vindicated Charlie’s blood in ways no man ever could — with souls.

Charlie’s legacy will live on, even as his blood cries from the ground.

The Trauma

15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need,” (Hebrews 4:15, 16, KJV). 

I would be horribly remiss not to acknowledge the shock and trauma that has assaulted us in the wake of his assassination. It’s gruesome. None of us will forget what we witnessed or felt. And for those who were present firsthand, I pray they will heal.

Some of you may not know, my nursing background includes Emergency/Trauma, Cardiovascular, and Critical Care. The moment I saw what happened to Charlie, I knew without any doubt that he had passed the moment he lost consciousness and slumped to the ground. That kind of wound is considered mortal (fatal). Any resuscitation would be impossible for an individual who incurred that kind of wound, and any efforts would have sadly been lost on him. The heroic efforts of his friends are commendable, but sadly, there was nothing they could do. And they need to rest knowing there was nothing they could have done differently to change his outcome. Even if EMS personnel had been present that day standing by, there’s no chance of changing what happened. I’m not going to discuss the physiological intricacies of Charlie’s death here. That is not necessary or appropriate. But I want you all to understand that changing his outcome would have been absolutely impossible, even with the best and most heroic of any medical interventions afforded him.

With that said, I’ve witnessed many individuals respond to the traumas of their loved ones in the Emergency Department. More than 80 percent of level one traumas seen in Emergency Departments are related to crime in some form or fashion, to some degree. They are either the victim or the perpetrator. Those who remain alive are known as secondary trauma survivors. Even we as medical professionals can become secondary trauma survivors who need counseling. We take it all home every day and night with very little time to process what happened. Many of those I’ve cared for, the memories are so glaring that I will go to my grave with them. Erika Kirk and her children are indeed secondary trauma survivors, as are those who were present at UVU that day Charlie was murdered.

Understand, we all respond to trauma differently, and every individual has a trauma threshold: the level of pain and grief that can be sustained before they begin to show signs of mental breakdown and physiological shock. Secondary trauma victims can go into a state of emotional and physical shock by which their entire sympathetic nervous system begins to reel. People feel their chest constrict wherein they struggle to breathe. Then comes the hyperventilation. They get dizzy, can faint, and often go limp, feeling like they can’t walk. Some literally curl into a ball on the ground, or into a fetal position. They get cold and numb. They sob uncontrollably in surges that cannot be stopped. They scream. They shake uncontrollably. They can lose consciousness and faint. And they often vomit. All of these responses are normal, can be expected with acute shock, and as emergency personnel, we plan for them. Because secondary trauma victims can quickly become another patient in our Emergency Department who requires sedation and bedding down. With all this said, shock can also be delayed in some individuals.

The after effects of trauma, irrespective of the cause, are medically recognized as universal among human beings. But every person responds differently. Not everyone has the same mental, emotional, or physical construct. Those who are younger or more “delicate”, mentally or emotionally immature, or just more sensitive, will suffer longer and greater than someone who is well-trained such as military, medical, or law enforcement professionals.

Emotional and mental trauma is no trite matter. It can rewire your brain, and the after effects can be confusing and life-altering if you’ve never experienced it before. These effects bleed into every area of life, and can even affect you physically. If you need help during this time, but really don’t know where to turn, I would like to introduce you to Dr. Daniel Amen. He has given the global community a wealth of information on trauma, brain health, neurological function, victory over various mental illnesses including addiction, and has furthered comprehensive mental health wellness with critical breakthroughs. I heartily recommend Dr. Amen’s resources for all those who need help during this time. His books, video library, and clinics are committed to this cause.

Here is where Charlie’s death differed: we saw the act of violence take place firsthand, unabated. Everyone did. It circulated in real time, in full color, very rapidly. For me: I didn’t have the perspective of seeing him as I normally would. He didn’t roll in off life-flight or ambulance with an ambu-bag or rapid blood infusion after EMS had done their duty. I didn’t see him after the trauma occurred. We all saw what happened to him in real time — and we all felt it. We are all processing it, even still. For me, it was soul-crushing. With that said, Charlie’s death has touched me in a profound way I find difficult to articulate or explain, and I believe many of you could say the same. I know that I am changed. I’m a different person today than I was a month ago. For that reason, my life has taken on strategic changes.

I cannot imagine what others are experiencing, namely Erika Kirk and her beloved children. Know that my prayers continue. I hope yours do as well.

Moving Forward

1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin,” (Hebrews 12:1-4, KJV).

I do believe God will heal us from this trauma. But I don’t believe He’s going to let us forget it — not a whit. This remembrance is going to be cemented in all of us — ironclad in our memories — for the rest of our days. I believe God is going to continue to use Charlie’s life and death to perpetuate the spread of the Gospel, to liberate the masses internationally, to establish truth, to renew civil discourse, to protect the freedom of speech, to awaken those who are lost and dying, and to stimulate the growth of godly marriages and families worldwide — and ultimately rescue this generation.

Charlie said it best:

Fall in love, get married, have kids, and glorify Christ.

I love it. Let’s do precisely that. Charlie knew his purpose and he lived it. Let’s live with purpose, not wasting one moment. Stop scrolling your life away. And finally, lets love out loud. Let’s talk again. Let’s “run up the phone bill”. Let’s get in the car and go see a friend just because we feel like it — and yes, unannounced! Let’s reach out and tell others we love them — because we do. Let’s check on people and ask how they are because we care, not because we’re parroting a verbal cliche. Let’s look into the faces of others and truly see them, listen to them, and connect with them at heart. Let’s learn, grow, and love better. Let’s just be sweeter to each other. Let’s give common courtesy and respect to others, irrespective of any differences. And we will heal.

I think that would make Charlie proud, and I believe that would glorify our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

I believe God has given all of us a unique purpose in His Kingdom. We all have a special calling, unique talents, and a legacy to fulfill for future generations. There was a clarion call that resounded throughout the earth when Charlie Kirk died. We all heard it. We all felt it. The Holy Spirit moved so mightily it sent shockwaves through our souls.

We have a duty to respond.

Thank you, Charlie for living life so well and for being so passionate and transparent; so bold, and so very willing to live and die for our Lord. I know I will see you again. God be with you, precious Erika and family. May He heal you and fill all those voids, blessing you every moment and every step of the way with His intimate presence and power. God bless the TPUSA team, and all your endeavors to continue Charlie’s legacy.  And finally, to all those who grieve and celebrate his life, may the Lord heal you and be with you always as you walk with Him and in Him, until your last dying breath.

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me,” (Isaiah 6:8, KJV).

Wherever you are, may you be comforted in your grief. May you be healed of this trauma. I pray this post helps and affords some added insight and solace.

Happy Birthday, Charlie. It is with great honor that we remain eternally grateful for your life and service. We will never forget you, dearest brother.

Cheers and Shalom,
