The sudden passing of Charlie Kirk has left a profound void in the Christian community, prompting a deeply personal reflection on what it means to fulfill the Great Commission in today's world. Kirk's unwavering commitment to sharing the gospel wherever he went stands as both an inspiration and a challenge to believers everywhere – are we being similarly bold in our faith?

00:00:00.059 --> 00:00:02.649
Hey friends, this is another mini-sode.
00:00:02.649 --> 00:00:03.621
It's kind of funny.
00:00:03.621 --> 00:00:24.873
I don't really feel like I know what it is God wants me to talk about, which is ironic because of how on the nose this episode is to what just happened on September 10th 2025.
00:00:24.873 --> 00:00:39.603
This episode I did with Kari Hunnicutt is called what is the Great Commission, and, whether you liked Charlie Kirk or not, you have to hand it to him.
00:00:39.603 --> 00:00:43.070
He shared the gospel wherever he went.
00:00:43.070 --> 00:00:48.051
There's a big hole in the Christian community with him being gone.
00:00:50.341 --> 00:00:54.572
Yes, we have others, like Ray Comfort and everyone at Living Waters.
00:00:54.572 --> 00:01:04.792
They are carrying the mantle as well, but what about us quote, unquote everyday people?
00:01:04.792 --> 00:01:23.385
What are we doing to share the gospel?
00:01:23.385 --> 00:01:24.269
Are we being bold in the face of oppression?
00:01:24.269 --> 00:01:26.140
I know I haven't been, and it's a very sobering thought and it's a very convicting thought.
00:01:26.140 --> 00:01:27.980
I know I need to do better.
00:01:27.980 --> 00:01:30.444
I guess I use my.
00:01:30.444 --> 00:01:32.746
I'm an introvert.
00:01:32.746 --> 00:01:47.043
I don't like to talk to people, especially people I don't know as my crutch or my excuse, but, as we learn from this episode with Kari, we don't get to have excuses, but as we learn from this episode with Kari, we don't get to have excuses.
00:01:47.063 --> 00:01:52.914
There's no caveats in the Great Commission that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, gave us.
00:01:52.914 --> 00:02:02.739
It says go into all the world and share the gospel, and he will be with us to the very end of the age.
00:02:02.739 --> 00:02:04.843
He told us to go.
00:02:04.843 --> 00:02:18.907
It's a command and, as we know from James 4.17, if you know what you ought to do and you don't do it, you are sinning Boy.
00:02:18.907 --> 00:02:38.623
Is that a major blow to my heart, and I hope it is to yours as well, because there are many Christians who are sinning willfully right now because we have not been doing what we are commanded to do, which is share the gospel.
00:02:38.623 --> 00:02:43.646
You don't have to go and do it like Ray Comfort does on Huntington Beach going, standing on boxes and talking to people.
00:02:43.646 --> 00:02:46.960
You don't have to do it like Ray Comfort does on Huntington Beach going, standing on boxes and talking to people.
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:56.651
You don't have to do it the way that Charlie Kirk did, setting up a booth at a college and allowing people you know are going to disagree with you to come up to you.
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.931
I'm sure you have family members, friends, who need the love of Jesus.
00:03:01.931 --> 00:03:06.866
Just show them the love of Jesus.
00:03:06.866 --> 00:03:07.729
Just show them the love of Jesus.
00:03:07.729 --> 00:03:10.421
You don't have to come out and just tell them.
00:03:10.421 --> 00:03:12.566
You're a sinner going to hell.
00:03:12.566 --> 00:03:13.848
You need Jesus.
00:03:13.848 --> 00:03:20.127
You can do that, and if you know that they'll receive it well, then yeah, by all means do it.
00:03:20.688 --> 00:03:22.051
There's nothing wrong with that.
00:03:22.051 --> 00:03:22.721
There is no.
00:03:22.721 --> 00:03:26.311
I don't want to say there isn't a right or wrong way.
00:03:26.311 --> 00:03:32.282
If you're going and doing that on the street with the signs that say you're going to hell, repent now.
00:03:32.282 --> 00:03:34.447
I don't think that's going to work.
00:03:34.447 --> 00:03:50.704
But again, if you're going to do that with a friend or family member that you know well and you know they'll accept it, okay, then maybe you should do it that way, know your audience and find a way to share the gospel with them that way.
00:03:50.704 --> 00:03:57.425
Share it through the way that you live, so that one day they see you and say how come you are so different?
00:03:57.425 --> 00:03:59.710
There's an opportunity.
00:03:59.710 --> 00:04:03.362
Just don't waste the opportunities you get.
00:04:03.984 --> 00:04:09.334
If you see somebody who's bagging your groceries and they look a little down, just talk to them.
00:04:09.334 --> 00:04:11.426
Say hey, how are you?
00:04:11.426 --> 00:04:15.933
If you want to go a step further, say is there anything I can pray for?
00:04:15.933 --> 00:04:28.730
I don't want to toot my own horn, but when some person randomly comes to my brain, whether it's a friend or not, I will take a moment and pray for them.
00:04:28.730 --> 00:04:33.951
I'm not always good about it, but I've been trying to be more intentional about it.
00:04:33.951 --> 00:04:38.571
If it's a friend, a family member, someone I can call or text, I will.
00:04:38.571 --> 00:04:53.165
If it's someone that I don't know personally, or a famous person, maybe I'll go on Instagram and see what's going on with them so that I have a better idea of what I can be praying for Right now.
00:04:53.165 --> 00:05:00.466
Erica Kirk and her children have been heavy on my heart and I've been praying for them a lot, and I'm sure you all have as well.
00:05:00.466 --> 00:05:09.947
But these are ways to share the gospel too Having a podcast, start a podcast and just share the gospel.
00:05:09.947 --> 00:05:14.074
Read the Bible daily on the podcast.
00:05:14.074 --> 00:05:16.927
Just have a podcast where you're reading the Bible.
00:05:16.927 --> 00:05:18.391
There are many different ways.
00:05:18.391 --> 00:05:26.108
Even for introverts like myself and you, if you are one and you're listening there are different ways we can share the gospel.
00:05:28.841 --> 00:05:46.187
There is no excuse for us to shrink away from a command from our Savior, whom we say we love, and if we have not learned anything from this situation with Charlie Kirk and all the testimonies we've heard of people coming to Christ through this tragedy.
00:05:46.187 --> 00:05:49.737
God is on the move, ladies and gentlemen.
00:05:49.737 --> 00:05:51.601
He is doing something big.
00:05:51.601 --> 00:06:06.803
This is a turning point, and boy is that heart-wrenching and amazing to see how God was working in Charlie, even before Charlie even knew what this movement was calling it Turning Point USA.
00:06:06.803 --> 00:06:16.584
And now we are in a turning point in our country, sadly because of the loss of the founder of Turning Point USA.
00:06:16.584 --> 00:06:18.026
If you don't believe there, leave.
00:06:18.026 --> 00:06:34.331
There is a God at this stage of life, what are you going to do today to fulfill the command to go and tell the world about Jesus?
00:06:35.855 --> 00:06:40.987
I will be honest, I have a few people in my family who don't know God.
00:06:40.987 --> 00:06:49.769
As most of you know, my daughter is kind of a prodigal child right now, so I've been sharing with her and loving on her as well.
00:06:49.769 --> 00:07:07.649
But I also have other family members that are not living for Christ, and I have been silent in talking with them because I know that they know already and they have chosen to turn away from it.
00:07:07.649 --> 00:07:16.625
Therefore, I feel like I've washed my hands of it and I've left them in the hands of God and I'm praying for them.
00:07:16.625 --> 00:07:31.072
I have not stopped praying for them, and when we get a chance to talk, we do, but our relationship is very strained and, I don't know, maybe I'm supposed to make the first move with them?
00:07:31.072 --> 00:07:32.254
Maybe not.
00:07:32.254 --> 00:07:45.028
I will be honest, it scares me the idea of it if I am supposed to make the first move, but sometimes we have to do things while we're still afraid and allow God to work.
00:07:45.427 --> 00:07:47.851
What only he can do, which is miracles.
00:07:47.851 --> 00:07:51.115
We can't change hearts.
00:07:51.115 --> 00:07:53.002
We can't change minds.
00:07:53.002 --> 00:07:57.593
We are only called to be obedient and do what we are commanded to do.
00:07:57.593 --> 00:07:58.822
He will do the rest.
00:07:58.822 --> 00:08:03.550
So go fulfill your duties, christian.
00:08:03.550 --> 00:08:13.173
We are commanded to do it, and if you don't, then you are willfully sinning and you need to repent, as I know I need to as well.
00:08:13.173 --> 00:08:20.254
God bless, I hope this has encouraged you and strengthened your faith.
00:08:20.254 --> 00:08:21.898
Talk to you later.
00:00:00.059 --> 00:00:02.649
