This wasn’t a planned episode of the Encouragement for Real Life Podcast, but after the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, I felt led to share a few words of encouragement. Not from a political angle or with pointing fingers, but from the perspective of hope and faith.
Like you, I’ve been processing grief, questions, and emotions these past two weeks. Many of us didn’t know Charlie personally, but his sudden death has shaken us and stirred something deep inside. Some are grieving, some are searching, and some are finding a renewed fire to live boldly for Jesus.
So where do we go from here? Together we:
Look Up — Fix our eyes on God and lean on His promises.
Look In — Guard our hearts, embrace His peace, and keep eternity in view.
Look Out — Live as light, extend hope, and share Jesus with the world around us.
This is not the time to shrink back in fear but to live boldly in our faith. God is with us, He is our refuge and strength, and He promises never to leave us.
If you’re new to faith, I’ll share simple steps for beginning your journey with Jesus. And if you’re already walking with Him, let’s ask: What is God calling me to do today? How can I be bold in sharing His hope?
Friend, you’re not alone in this. I’m walking with you, praying for you, and cheering you on. With Jesus, we will be okay.
