Episode Summary: In Episode 95 of Tearing Down High Places, hosts Average Joe Gormley, Pastor Tim Robinson, and Pastor Jeff Kliewer tackle the epidemic of baseless accusations and toxic empathy in modern culture, using Candace Owens’ unsubstantiated conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk’s assassination as a prime example. Drawing from Deuteronomy 19 and Matthew 18, they emphasize the biblical burden of proof, due process, and the dangers of gossip as “character assassination.” The episode warns against affirming unproven claims, critiques Owens’ reliance on “strong sources” without evidence, and calls Christians to self-control, restraint of the tongue (James 3), and trust in God’s sovereignty over conspiracies. They defend innocent figures like TPUSA’s Mikey McCoy from online slander and urge listeners to prioritize facts over feelings for Christ-like justice.

Digestible Show Notes Breakdown

For skimmers: Quick-scan sections with approximate timestamps (based on transcript flow) and key takeaways.

• 00:00:11 – Intro: The Empathy Trap
  Pastor Jeff warns against “toxic empathy”—affirming someone’s pain without evidence, which fuels slander. Don’t nod along; demand facts or shut it down to avoid enabling evil.
• 00:01:13 – Episode Tease: Accusations Without Proof
  Hosts spotlight Candace Owens’ claims that Charlie Kirk was betrayed (not killed by Tyler Robinson), involving TPUSA, Israel, and “faked” FBI texts. No evidence? That’s malicious witnessing (Deut. 19:16-21).
• 00:04:41 – Clip Breakdown: Owens Grilled on CNN
  Analyze Owens’ interview: She cites “dreams,” “strong sources,” and “weird messages” but dodges proof. Hosts: Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence—hers is hearsay.
• 00:10:45 – Biblical Due Process Missing
  Echoing Deut. 19:15-21 (2-3 witnesses required), they slam “argument from silence” and online trials. Penalty for false accusations? It falls on the accuser. Trust Romans 13 government to investigate.
• 00:14:36 – God’s Sovereignty Over Conspiracies
  Pastor Tim: Kirk’s death (likely by Tyler Robinson, influenced by demonic forces) serves God’s purpose—now he’s more famous. Don’t speculate; let authorities (and God) handle it.
• 00:16:16 – Why Conspiracies Thrive
  Distrust in government + internet clicks reward outrage. But Christians must model self-control (Gal. 5:23) and avoid “out-of-control” obsession (e.g., Owens fixating on a dead man’s wife).
• 00:20:19 – Defending the Innocent: Mikey McCoy Case
  Young TPUSA leader slandered as a “conspirator” for his shocked reaction to the shooting. Hosts: This drags godly kids through mud—stop it!
• 00:24:45 – Gossip Defined & Dangers
  Gossip = unrestrained tongue sparking “forest fires” of lies (James 3). It’s demonic (Satan as “accuser”). Empathy without evidence? You’re complicit. Follow Matt. 18: confront directly first.
• 00:32:15 – Broader Slander Examples
  Nick Fuentes/Tucker Carlson normalizing anti-Israel hate; left-wing smears on Kirk as “racist.” All destroy reputations—Christians, step up and correct lies.
• 00:35:28 – Close: Back to Biblical Justice
  Uphold Old Testament equity: Hear both sides, cross-examine, base verdicts on evidence—not feelings. Sign-off: See a brother down? Lift him up. High place? Tear it down.
