Charlie Kirk – “Formidable?”

Yes, “Formidable” was the first word that came to my mind to describe Charlie Kirk after I saw the first of many of his podcasts.

I realized I was witnessing greatness as I watched the outspokenness of someone who publicly wore his faith and beliefs like armor. He was so steadfast in his convictions!

This man walked his talk and was not intimidated or deterred by anyone who chose to confront or attack him. He glorified God with his life!

I was in awe at this man I’d never met. I wondered how he had come upon his courage.

Understand, up until now, I walked my talk about my faith and beliefs, but I did so quietly to not draw attention to myself.

I would tell people, “Yes I am a Christian,” but I never made waves about my faith, preferring to stay in the shallow end of the pool, where I felt safe. I didn’t debate, didn’t quote scripture, didn’t remind anyone of the ten commandments, as if I were simply only giving lip service to my faith. You see, there were very few attacks in the kiddie pool where I hung out.

Charlie Kirk OWNED the deep end and swam laps around those who tried (and failed) to change his mind about what he believed in! So many gave up and fell back into the crowds in order to let others try their hands at swaying him. Which never happened.

Charlie Kirk’s light might have flickered yesterday, but his legacy will carry on. The country is responding with a vengeance, the likes we haven’t seen since September 11th, so many years ago.

Patriotism and religion are on the rise; I’ve read that so many are returning to the church and their faith because he was fearless in proclaiming his. I think Charlie Kirk would be proud, or perhaps he would simply smile.

I for one have had enough of what I see as a demise of America and her values, and I will walk my talk, head held high.

I may even dare you to prove me wrong.
