This is not a normal episode of Not From the Pulpit. Today we step From the Frontline into a moment where the spiritual realm has erupted onto the world stage.

Charlie Kirk was assassinated, not just as a political figure, but as a Christian whose faith in Jesus Christ drove everything he did. He shared the gospel with millions, and the world hated him because it hated Christ in him. His death is more than tragedy; it is martyrdom.

In this episode, we confront the sobering reality that spiritual warfare is not abstract. It manifests in flesh and blood, in policies, in violence, in history. Evil ideas become weapons, division becomes strategy, and when the light of God is removed from culture, darkness fills the void.

But this is not a message of despair. It’s a wake-up call: for believers to pray like they truly believe in the unseen, to stand boldly for truth, and to live as light in the darkness, whatever the cost. And for those who do not yet know Christ, it’s an invitation to open the door of your heart to the Savior who alone can replace hatred with love and fear with confidence.

Charlie Kirk followed Jesus even unto death. Now he follows Him into eternal life. May his blood remind us that the battle is real, the cost is high, but the victory belongs to Christ.
