Charlie Kirk
Charles J. Kirk (October 14, 1993-September 10, 2025), the founder of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), identifies as an evangelical Christian. In recent years, his public persona and the mission of Turning Point USA have increasingly intertwined with Christian faith and conservative political activism. Kirk publicly shares his Christian faith, stating that Jesus saved his life and that giving his life to Christ was the most important decision he's made. Kirk has become closely associated with the Christian nationalist and dominionist movements, which advocate for Christians exerting God's will on society across various sectors like government, education, and media. He established TPUSA Faith to mobilize pastors and church leaders in political activism, engaging in activities such as voter drives and promoting TPUSA's values within the faith community. Kirk believes conservative political activism is central to a Christian's calling. He argues for restoring "America's biblical values" and views political battles as a "spiritual struggle". Kirk has claimed there is "no separation of church and state," asserting it's a fabricated concept. He has been critical of some aspects of the "American church," suggesting it has become overly focused on American patriotism rather than biblical principles and is under attack.
It's important to note that Kirk's views and approach have drawn both support and criticism, with some observers expressing concern about the blend of partisan politics and religion and the potential for a "dangerous Christian Nationalism" to be presented as biblical ethics.

“A Counterfeit Kingdom”: Adventists Confront Christian Nationalism at Religious Liberty Summit The day concluded with a moderated panel featuring Allred, Reinach, Wibberding, Devon, and Randall Waring, chair of the Paradise Adventist Church board. After a day of wading through Adventist theology and history, the panel shifted toward practice—how Adventists should live faithfully in an age of rising Christian nationalism. The conversation quickly turned to public versus private morality, Sunday laws, and Project 2025. When an attendee asked whether Adventists should endorse Charlie Kirk’s forthcoming book on the Sabbath, the Seven Mountain Mandate surfaced again—this time with unambiguous caution. Reinach and Allred discussed the dangers of promoting material produced within movements whose aims Adventists cannot ethically support. Allred warned that organizations like Turning Point USA have become influential conduits for dominionist theology and that many Christians are being drawn in by nationalistic rhetoric disguised as spiritual revival.

We call it the “Great Awakening” in the USA, and it prepared us for our much more civil revolution, birthing the Constitution, liberty with order. As I have previously shown in these pages in “The Regrettable Rise of “Right-Wing Wokeism,” the poisoning of China’s cultural heritage set the stage for Mao’s triumph and bloodletting. The Marxists’ cultural revulsion in China prepared the way for its bloody Cultural Revolution. Similar forces have been afoot in the USA over the last generation, festering, especially, in our universities. Charlie Kirk battled them head-on. He regularly went into the belly of the beast, confronting the propaganda. He wooed the youth away from the siren song of cultural Marxism. For that, they killed him.

Many went to the internet to find his quotes to perhaps hold a mirror up to his brand of white nationalism. One quote should send chills down your spine. On a June 11th, 2024, episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, Kirk makes references to “stoning” and “putting gays to death” as the perfect law in response to Youtuber, Ms. Rachel who used the bible to suggest Pride month and support for it was an example of loving thy neighbor. While Kirk did not explicitly state or advocate the stoning of gays, his tongue and cheek usage of the passage described by some as a “joke” demonstrates a much longer history of gay hate in the United States and how the bible has been used to support anti-gay legislation. (The Fulcrum 11/1/25) READMORE>>>> Danté Stewart on fighting the rise of Christian nationalism It’s almost like an American Christian outrage, because Kirk sits at this intersection of religion and politics, particularly around conservatism and evangelical Christianity, where he merges both of those and benefits from both of those and exploits the worst impulses of both of those identities. And that’s all I really wanted to wrestle with, is that, if I can be honest, I find it very hard to mourn him. I’m not a person who’s going to cry any tears for him, but I will say, okay, let’s figure out what this means for all of us. (Broadviewl 10/15/25) READMORE>>>> Why don’t white evangelicals listen to Black Christians? As a Black Christian man, I have engaged white evangelicals in numerous discussions about the existence of racism within America and Christianity. These conversations have continued throughout my entire adult life. I have observed that many white evangelicals only listen to Black Christian perspectives on racism when these perspectives reinforce their existing beliefs. This selective listening was evident in the aftermath of the murder of Charlie Kirk, co-founder of Turning Point USA. Many conservative white evangelicals viewed Kirk as a faithful Christian worthy of praise. In fact, many now consider him a modern-day Christian martyr, reminiscent of early church figures such as Stephen and the Apostle Paul.

Conquers,” she said as Charlie Kirk sat next to her. “[He] comes home and is like, this is my nest egg, this is what I worked so hard for, and the wife is like, ‘Welcome home, babe, whatever you need, we’re here.’” There are occasions when a man has to step in and stay at home ― she admitted that her own father did so briefly and that it was a “really sweet and really special” time in her childhood. Still, she said, her parents divorced, which proved her point: Generally, a marriage is stronger when the man is the provider. (Yahoo News 10/11/25) READMORE>>>> Of Prophets and Pedants: A “New” Spilt Among Evangelicals? In a recent post, Michael Clary, a pastor in Kentucky, made an incisive statement about the nature of Christian academics in light of the ministry and recent killing of Charlie Kirk. Clary’s claim highlights a seemingly new divide within Evangelical Christianity. However, as I will argue, it is actually an age-old battle within the Church, one that plays out between the pedanticism of an intellectual class and the propheticism of public reformers. First, Clary’s statement warrants a full reproduction here: When I think about many of the Christian leaders I once looked up to, I wonder how many of them are feeling a lot of cognitive dissonance these days. In my seminary and early church planting days, I was taught a model of cultural engagement that emphasized non-offensiveness as a ministry non-negotiable. As I implemented this methodology in my ministry, I found it wholly inadequate for the challenges of real ministry. So I rejected that approach. It took me several years to fully deprogram my ministry instincts and retrain myself to be more bold and outspoken. Then I think of men like Charlie Kirk. He didn’t go to college or seminary. He didn’t build a platform by adopting the tactics of the credentialed experts. He built his platform with guts and grit. If Charlie Kirk had gone to a typical seminary, he likely would have lost his edge. He would have learned to be more careful. He would learned to be more measured. He would have had his prophetic voice educated right out of him. He may have ended up as just another celebrated academic, publishing white papers at ETS, and speaking on the lecture circuit. I’m not against those things. My point is that our institutions produce academics when the need of the hour is more prophets. We need men of courage and conviction these days, but the evangelical leadership that shaped the last generation of pastors trained men to bury their courage. How many men go to seminary and graduate more on fire for Christ? That’s why I think many older Christian leaders are feeling cognitive dissonance these days. The man who arguably had the greatest gospel impact in a generation did not go through their credentialing process, and did the opposite of what they would have trained him to do. How do you make sense of that? And then, I’m disturbed by this thought: how many young men have had their wings clipped by the credentialed class who told them “you can’t offend people if you want to be effective in ministry”? How many men sought training for ministry only to have the leaders they respected train the zeal right out of them? Kirk’s death has awakened the consciences of a generation of young men. They admire his courage, boldness, clarity and zeal. In the aftermath of Kirk’s death, many of these young men are looking for leaders who can sharpen them and direct their zeal. Who do they have to look to? Kirk’s bold voice, testimony to the gospel, massive appeal, and effective platform are a rebuke to the credential class who would have advised him to tone it down so he could play the long game and have a nice career. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still some very courageous voices out there, but many of them are speaking from outside the system, because their bold voice is a threat to the status quo. Going forward, the status quo is not gonna cut it. Everyone senses it. The way forward is more voices in the mold of Charlie Kirk, but the bench is pretty thin of men who can train the next generation of Charlie Kirks. So I find it ironic that God used Charlie Kirk, who did the opposite of everything Christian leaders are taught to do, and ended up building a ministry platform that produced the largest single gospel preaching event in human history. “God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise.” 1 Cor 1:27 (Anthony Costello 10/11/25) READMORE>>>> Former UK PM Boris Johnson tells Liberty University students he hopes for them to become 'next generation of Charlie Kirks' Former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged students at Liberty University in Virginia to defend freedom of speech and expression, calling the Christian university “a bastion of freedom” and expressing hope that its students would become “the next generation of Charlie Kirks.” Johnson, who led Britain from 2019 to 2022, delivered a convocation address on Wednesday (Oct. 8) to more than 16,000 students at the Lynchburg campus. In his remarks, he warned that freedoms of thought, conscience, and religion that once shaped Western civilization were “under threat in the world today” and needed renewed defense by young people. Johnson, who was born in New York City, said universities in the West were vital for championing and preserving freedom, according to a Liberty press release. (Christian Daily 10/10/25) READMORE>>>> TPUSA Doubles Down on Christian Nationalism In the years before he was murdered, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk had transitioned the group away from its libertarian leanings and toward a dominionist Christian nationalist ideology and agenda. It appears that the group’s current leadership is continuing that shift. TPUSA Faith, the group’s religious organizing arm, is hosting a “pastor roundtable” featuring two Christian nationalists, Oklahoma state Sen. Dusty Deevers and author and former Trump administration official William Wolfe, according to a flyer Deevers posted on his X account Wednesday. Both men have connections to extreme Christian nationalist Doug Wilson, who has been in the news recently, both for his claim that women should not have the right to vote and for his efforts to strengthen his influence within the Trump administration. Right Wing Watch noted recently, “Few elected officials can match Oklahoma state Sen. Dusty Deevers in their desire to see the United States turned into a Christian nationalist theocracy.” Deevers calls the separation of church and state “blasphemous.” In a sermon at Wilson’s Idaho church last year, Deevers declared that it is the duty of civil leaders to “submit” to the authority of Christ. He has called on Christian men to “make offensive war on the gates of hell” and “dominionize” the world.

Even those vehemently ideologically opposed to Charlie Kirk and his ilk called it “an incredible act of grace.” Pastors and pundits alike praised her as a model of Christian virtue. Max Lucado, who doesn’t often weigh in on political issues, wrote an op-ed for Fox News, saying, “She deserved the standing ovation she received.”Amid the horror of the loss and the horror of the display of unabashed Christian nationalism, plenty of folks seemed desperate to latch onto the one positive thing they saw come from Charlie Kirk’s murder — his wife, following Christ’s example, forgave his killer.

They believed that religious institutions were key to maintaining the “shared moral order” a healthy democracy requires. Throughout history our leaders have brought “their faith to bear on public questions,” to positive effect. But that wasn’t the sentiment on display at Kirk’s memorial. The speeches were short on morality and “rich in the language of triumph,” promoting the assumption that being Christian and Republican “are basically the same thing.” It was an unsettling reminder that “unrestrained faith and unrestrained partisanship are an incredibly combustible mixture,” and that people of faith can “wander a long way from the cross.” (The Week 10/7/25) READMORE>>>> What is ‘the church’ and what is ‘Communion’? Much ink has been spilled over the last decade revealing the ways white evangelical Republicans have descended into the abyss of authoritarianism. But while they claim to be the most committed to Christ and the church, their empathy-starved embrace of empire actually has led them to redefine Christ and the church altogether. Jesus said in Matthew 16:18, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.” The Greek word for church is ekklesia, which means a called-out assembly or congregation. At Charlie Kirk’s memorial service, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said, “Kirk actually in the German language means church. So on this Sunday morning, I’d like to think we’re all in Charlie’s Church.” (HuffPost 10/7/25) READMORE>>>> |
July 15, 2025: Raw Story reported: MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk sought to calm his audience after initially saying he was "done talking" about President Donald Trump's Jeffrey Epstein controversy. On his Tuesday podcast, Kirk noted that media outlets — including Raw Story — had reported on his attempt to avoid discussing the Trump administration's decision not to release additional files from the Epstein case. On Monday, Kirk said that he wanted to discuss other topics after reportedly receiving a call from Trump.
August 4, 2025: Salon reported: Charlie Kirk initially made his name by being the most obnoxious of the “debate me” bros. As far as titles go, it’s like winning “Most Stinky” at the Litter Box Olympics, but Republicans love men who are the worst, so it turned him into an overnight MAGA star. Kirk, who wanted to seem like a young and “hip” Republican when he started out, claimed in 2016 to have a “secular worldview.” Two years later, he criticized older Republicans for ignoring the “separation of church and state.” His organization, Turning Point USA, cited their values as “fiscal responsibility, free markets, and limited government.” More recently, however, Kirk and TPUSA have undergone a dramatic Christian right makeover. As NBC News reported, he has “become one of the nation’s most prominent voices calling on Christians to view conservative political activism as central to Jesus’ calling for their lives.” By 2022, he was falsely claiming the separation of church and state is “a fabrication” made up by “secular humanists.” (In fact, it was “made up” by Thomas Jefferson.)
September 1, 2025: Good Faith Media reported: First, let’s be clear: Charlie Kirk was not a man of God. Even so, he was undeniably a child of God. As such, Christian ethics compel me to hold fast to the belief that murder is a violation of any Christian ethical or moral code that adheres to the teachings of Christ. Charlie Kirk should not have been murdered. Politically motivated assassinations must be condemned for the sake of all of society, regardless of who is pulling the trigger or who is the target of such violence. And my Christian ethics also compel me to point out that national authorities or Christian clergy should not venerate Charlie Kirk as a Christian martyr. Because even though he was a child of God, Charlie Kirk was not a man of God.
September 11, 2025: Religion Media Center reported: The Christian beliefs and influences of Charlie Kirk are being explored in the wake of his murder at a university event in Utah on Wednesday. At just 31, Kirk commanded a phenomenal following of up to ten million people on each of his social media platforms. He was not only a central figure in promoting Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, but also a powerful influencer urging students and young people to embrace conservative Christianity. A detailed analysis by Mara Richards Bim in Baptist News Global traces Kirk’s journey from his early days as a conservative activist to his embrace of Christian nationalism and his close association with Trump. He grew up in a churchgoing family in Illinois and attended an evangelical school, where he was converted at the age of 11: “I remember very vividly just raising my hand to be like, I want to sign up for that. I’m ready to make Jesus Christ the Chairman of the Board of my life.
September 12, 2025: Los Angeles Times reported: Following yet another shooting at a U.S. college campus, Thursday morning’s class on American religious history at USC called for a different focus. Rather than lecture my students on Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism who was killed by an angry mob, I asked students their thoughts on a newly emerging martyr filling online newsfeeds. Charlie Kirk, the right-wing evangelical and political activist who led a youth movement he thought would help restore Christian morality in America, had just been killed the day before, shot at long range across a field at Utah Valley University by a gunman who was at that point still on the run. Almost everyone had something to say. One student spoke about a family member who was on site in Utah where the shooting occurred. Another heard Kirk when he visited USC last spring. Still another had followed Kirk’s Turning Point USA crusade for years. All said that their social media had “blown up” with videos of the shooting and unhinged rants from both the left and the right.
September 13, 2025: Yahoo reported: It used to be that the annual Conservative Political Action Conference was the gathering where all the right-wing activists and conservative intellectuals would meet to compare notes and get on the same page. A raucous affair with lots of snarky panels and right-wing celebrities, CPAC also featured serious speeches and presentations by conservative politicians, writers and thinkers. While the conference still exists, it’s no longer the only game in town. Turning Point USA, founded by the late Charlie Kirk, has attracted the entertaining activist types, while the more staid National Conservatism Conference brings together the more serious thinkers. Held last week in Washington, D.C., NatCon featured speakers and panels that plotted an even more conservative future that was downright chilling. “Overturn Obergefell” was one featured panel, the AP’s Joey Cappelletti reported. “The Bible and American Renewal” was another. The conference, he wrote, “underscored the movement’s vision of an America rooted in limited immigration, Christian identity and the preservation of what speakers called the nation’s traditional culture” — which is putting it very mildly. It certainly doesn’t seem there was much talk of individual freedom, free markets or liberty of any kind, and that is a big change from the conservative movement that has dominated Republican politics since the Reagan administration.
September 15, 2025: News Nation reported: A few months before he was assassinated, Turning Point USA founder and conservative activist Charlie Kirk said if he were to die, he would want his legacy to be his Christian faith. “I want to be remembered for courage for my faith. That would be the most important thing. The most important thing is my faith in my life,” he said. Kirk was shot dead at an event at Utah Valley University where he was debating students. He was 31 years old.
September 15, 2025: CNN reported: At Sunday morning church services around the country, conservative religious leaders found the same word to describe Charlie Kirk, the podcaster and political activist killed on Wednesday: martyr. “Today, we celebrate the life of Charlie Kirk, a 31-year-old God-fearing Christian man, a husband, father of two, a patriot, a civil rights activist, and now a Christian martyr,” said Rob McCoy, the pastor emeritus of Godspeak Calvary Chapel in California. Kirk, a prominent ally of President Donald Trump who attracted an ardent conservative following and criticism for his anti-feminist, anti-immigration views, was fatally shot Wednesday at Utah Valley University. He was speaking to a crowd of thousands as part of “The American Comeback Tour,” which featured Kirk’s signature event: debating college students about culture war topics.
September 19, 2025: NPR Reported: Charlie Kirk's evangelical followers frame him as a martyr for free speech. But they are facing fierce counter-arguments from other Christians, particularly African-Americans. This Sunday, President Trump and other political leaders will gather in Arizona to memorialize the conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Kirk, who was assassinated earlier this month in Utah, was an evangelical Christian. He was not a pastor, but since his death, his allies have framed him as an important religious leader. But Kirk has also been criticized by some Christians, particularly African American Christians, about his views on race and social justice issues. To help discuss all of this, I'm joined now by Jack Jenkins from Religion News Service. Welcome.
September 20, 2025: The Guardian reported: Christian nationalists in the US are positioning Charlie Kirk as a martyr for their movement, one that has grown in popularity and whose rise was intertwined with Kirk’s own political ascent.After Kirk’s killing, his widow, Erika Kirk, wrote on social media that the “world is evil”, but God “so good.” The “sound of this widow weeping [echoes] throughout this world like a battle cry,” she said. “They have no idea what they just ignited within this wife.” While Erika Kirk’s private sorrow is no doubt very real, her public remarks are telling, said Jeff Sharlet, the author of several books on Christian nationalism and the far right. “That’s holy war, that’s accelerationism, and it’s incredibly powerful,” he said, particularly in the emotional context of a grieving widow.

September 22, 2025: NPR reported: I made the mistake of tuning into the coverage of Charlie Kirk's memorial, and watched dumbfounded as an Evangelical megachurch service played out in front of me. I've had Evangelical Christianity on the brain since learning that the leader of my two favourite Christian bands (DC Talk and The Newsboys) was a cocaine snorting sex pest for the last 20 years. And I couldn't help but notice that in-between meandering speeches by the likes of Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson and a particular Nazi-ish Stephen Miller, yesterday's memorial featured a shitload of CCM (Christian contemporary music)
September 22, 2025: NPR reported: Charlie Kirk's evangelical faith was on display at his memorial service this weekend in Arizona. The service, held on a Sunday morning, felt much like a worship service, complete with prayers, songs and a call from Kirk's widow to "forgive" Kirk's alleged killer "because it was what Christ did." The event opened with performances of contemporary Christian worship music and Kirk's colleagues and friends referred to him as both a prophet and a martyr.
September 27, 2025: Newport News reported: n November 21, at a packed stadium, Erika Kirk and Donald Trump gave opposite messages. She declared forgiveness for the assassin who murdered her husband, Charlie Kirk. “I forgive him,” she told the crowd to sustained applause. “I forgive him because it was what Christ did. ... The answer to hate is not hate.” She added: “The answer we know from the Gospel is love and always love. Love for our enemies …” President Donald Trump contradicted her. “I’m sorry, Erika,” he said. “I hate my opponent[s], and I don’t want the best for them.” March 11, 2024: Baptist News Global reported: In addition to calling for a Coca Cola-sponsored decapitation of Donald Trump’s political opponents to be broadcast live for children to watch, Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk is making headlines again, this time claiming the United States government was formed based on the book of Deuteronomy. “Out of all the books both secular and religious that were quoted the most in the founding of the country, Deuteronomy was by far quoted the most,” Kirk argued at a Turning Point USA Faith Event in North Carolina last month. “Deuteronomy talks about separation of powers, consent of the governed, an independent judiciary; the form of our government is directly inspired from Deuteronomy. And it makes sense because Moses is basically telling, ‘Hey Joshua, this is how you set up the government. You’re about to get into the land of milk and honey, you’re about to enter Canaan, this is how I recommend you set things up.’” It’s a common claim by Christian nationalists. And while many critics of Christian nationalism believe the movement is a phenomenon that took off since Trump’s rise to the White House in 2016, the comparisons of the U.S. Constitution with the book of Deuteronomy go back at least to the 1980s. But was the U.S. Constitution based on the book of Deuteronomy? And perhaps more concerning, what is it about the book of Deuteronomy that resonates with authoritarian Christians so much? |
May 4, 2024: Real Clear Politics reported: On 'The Charlie Kirk Show' host Charlie Kirk talks about Nikki Haley's statement saying that she would vote for Donald Trump in the 2024 election: "She is not one of us. However, she represents a constituency. A constituency that is more neo-liberal, neo-conservative, and neo-colonialism in its posture. Received 4.3 million votes in the primary. We want as much support as we can get in this election year. Nikki Haley is not dumb, in fact she is very smart. She sees your power and she wants to get back into your good graces, she sees the power of this movement, she sees the ascendant nature of Donald Trump. Nikki Haley is making a prudent decision for her own purposes. If she wants to have some form of a political future: running for the presidency in the future, running for Senate maybe in South Carolina, don't discount that. If Donald Trump were to choose Tim Scott as Vice President, which is not my first choice, but Tim Scott is a good man. Then all of a sudden there's an open Senate seat, don't sleep on Nikki Haley running for the Senate race in South Carolina. She's not dumb, because she reads the room and knows you are in charge."

June 12, 2023: Word & Way reported: Trump rallies, replete as they are with prayer and passionate crowds, are said to have a tendency to turn into something resembling an evangelical Christian church service. But at Dream City Church in Phoenix, Arizona, it’s the other way around. Charlie Kirk, right, takes the stage during a Turning Point USA Faith “Freedom Night in America” event at Dream City Church in Phoenix, Arizona, in May 2023. Video screen grab One evening in May, hundreds gathered at the cavernous megachurch to attend “Freedom Night in America,” co-organized by Dream City’s leaders and the conservative activist group Turning Point USA. Around those buzzing about the entryway were draped innumerable variations on the U.S. flag, from traditional red, white and blue to monochrome black-and-white versions of Old Glory blazoned with the word “freedom.” Hats read simply “45” — for Donald Trump, the 45th U.S. president — and shirts carried the slogan, “Jesus is my savior, Trump is my president.”
December 5, 2023: Yahoo reported: American Christianity is at an inflection point. There is “a war for the essence and character of American Christianity,” writes Tim Alberta, a national political reporter for the Atlantic. The son of an evangelical pastor in Michigan, Alberta challenges conservative Christian culture from an insider’s perspective in his new book, The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism. Alberta says that for decades, American evangelicals have been taught that the United States is rightfully theirs and is being taken away from them. Figures such as Liberty University founder Jerry Falwell Sr., Ralph Reed of the Faith and Freedom Coalition and David Barton of WallBuilders and, more recently, others such as Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA, Jerry Falwell Jr. and evangelical talk radio host Eric Metaxas have spread this message.
