In this special episode of the Strong By Design Podcast, we come together not only as co-workers but as brothers in Christ, as husbands, and as fathers. We reflect on the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk — a man whose voice and convictions inspired millions and whose absence is deeply felt.
Regardless of political beliefs, every life is made in God’s image. The tragic loss of a husband and father should never be mocked or celebrated. In our conversation, we share personal thoughts and emotions about what this moment means for our families, our communities, our nation, and the world.
We discuss:
The value of life and the human cost of this tragedy.
The danger of silencing speech with violence.
How attempts to destroy a messenger can only amplify the message.
The state of our nation in a culture of division and unrest.
Our responsibility as Christian men to lead our families and communities with faith, courage, and unity.
This episode is not about politics, but about people, faith, and the call to stand boldly for truth in difficult times. Join us as we honor Charlie Kirk’s life, pray for his family, and reflect on the greater meaning of this moment.
