Moments like the ones we’ve faced this week can stir up a storm of emotions in us—grief, anger, hopelessness, even the desire to retreat to the mountains and never interact with anyone again. These events press on us in ways that are hard to describe. But in the middle of it all, we must remember this: we serve and worship King Jesus. He was not caught off guard by any of the tragedies that took place this week. And none of these events diminish His authority or control in the slightest.

As we begin today, I want to read from the Baptist Catechism, Question #10:

Question: What are the decrees of God?

Answer: The decrees of God are His eternal purpose according to the counsel of His will, whereby, for His own glory, He has foreordained whatsoever comes to pass.

This is why theology matters. This is why it is so vital for you and me to be anchored in the Word of God.

Ephesians 1:11 declares: “He works all things according to the counsel of His own will.”

This may have caught us off guard, but it did not catch Christ off guard.

Welcome to a heartfelt episode of One Little Candle. Today, host Rebecca Berschwinger discusses the emotional aftermath of the tragic assassination of Christian leader, husband, father, and truth warrior, Charlie Kirk. In a world reeling from grief, anger, and confusion, Rebecca offers comfort, clarity, and a call to action for believers everywhere.

Today's episode dives deep into the true mission that Charlie embodied: not division, but loving and uniting people—even those with opposing views—through the power of civil conversation and unwavering faith. As the Christian community and the world at large process this great loss, Rebecca addresses the tough questions: Why does God allow such tragedy? How should we as followers of Christ respond in the face of persecution and darkness? And how can we turn our sorrow and fear into renewed strength and resolve?

This episode is both a tribute to Charlie and a challenge to stand firm in our faith, to become bright lights in a dark world, and to honor Charlie’s legacy by contending for truth, offering forgiveness, and refusing to let fear silence our voice.
