Episode 72: Honoring Charlie Kirk: A Call to Bold Faith and Purpose
Key Verse
“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.”
1 Corinthians 16:13–14
In this moving episode of The Abundant Life Podcast, hosts Ben Arellano and Saso Mendez welcome Pastor Jason from Calvary Chapel Phoenix to reflect on the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk — a man whose bold faith, love for truth, and unwavering courage stirred an entire generation.
As Pastor Jason shares personal memories of knowing Charlie and witnessing his ministry firsthand, the conversation turns from grief to revival. What the enemy meant for evil, God is using for good. Since Charlie’s passing, church attendance has risen, believers are speaking up, and many who were far from God are returning to Him.
This episode issues a heartfelt challenge to the Church: Wake up. Stand firm. Be about the Father’s business. Just as Charlie lived with conviction and courage, followers of Christ today are called to live for eternal purposes, not temporary pleasures.
The discussion also explores how the gospel is advancing even amid persecution, how the Church must reclaim its voice in a darkening culture, and how each believer can be a light that points others to Jesus.
Take Aways:
- The life and legacy of Charlie Kirk
- The Church’s call to wake up in these last days
- Living with courage and eternal purpose
- Turning tragedy into revival
- Being brave and bold in faith amid opposition
Challenge to you:
Will you live with the same bold faith — to stand firm, speak truth, and be about the Father’s business until Jesus returns?
