“There comes a time when silence is betrayal” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The Turning Point: The Paradigm Shift
The Impact:
September 10, 2025 is a day that will be remembered around the world, not just written in the books of US or “Western” history.
Who could have fathomed that the very name of Charlie Kirk’s movement would have become so palpable and real through his martyrdom?
Mankind seldom notices the impact of an idea, of a movement or of a person until history proves that their name carries weight.
This was the case with the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln, JFK, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and so many more.
Now, this is the case with Charlie Kirk himself.
Spike in Church attendance, Bibles Sold Out, Youth Converting to Christ
Charlie’s passing watered the thirsty land in America; it is a tragic event that miraculously brought light back to a nation that was slowly slipping into a "woke" and "godless" agenda.
As reported by CBN News, "a woman inquired via social, ‘how many of you are going to go to church tomorrow because of Charlie Kirk?’ And there were 805 posts as of Saturday night, September 13, 2025. Today there were about 8,000 posts" (CBN News, Bowyer, T., 2025.)
Similarly, at Harris Creek Baptist Church, the congregation had space for only 1,100 people, but thanks to Charlie, the attendee turnaround amounted to more than 2,000 adults at their 9 am service (ibidem.)
Pastor Mark Driscoll equally testified that 1500 more people than seats were filled at his congregation in the immediate days following Charlie’s passing with people walking more than half a mile to get to church (ibid.)
Charlie’s own official social media followers on Instagram skyrocketed from 1 million to 3 million to 12.7 million followers as of September 17, 2025 and the numbers continue to rise.
Finally, many social media platforms, including but not limited to Threads, got flooded with countless testimonies of millennials and Gen Z testifying that they accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior of their life, leaving behind the LGBTQ communities, and sacrificing their previous beliefs by sheer faith in Jesus Christ.
This by far is Charlie’s greatest impact and what he will be remembered in history for - serving the Lord Jesus Christ until his death and bringing many people to Him.
The Crumbling of Identity Politics
The second most impactful turning point that Charlie brought forth is that he shed light to expose the darkness of a world living in selective morality.
Millions of social media users of all skin colors, ethnicities and cultural backgrounds took a stand in affirming that it is dangerous to favor an identity group, based solely on their race or ethnicity.
In essence, his martyrdom is causing the world to critically reflect on the following question:
Is it just or unjust to favor people based on their race, ethnicity, culture or gender thereby implementing ‘selective morality’ based on labels, instead of choosing people based on their moral compass irrespective of their labels?
Charlie’s persona, movement, and everything he stood for helped reveal the ‘real core substance’ of people - their hearts - not their outward appearance.
It is thanks to him that we are moving towards a global society that is rejecting outward appearance as the measure of favor.
Instead, we will see a world that is willing to critically reflect on the justice or injustice of events based on character and morale instead of identity or race-based regulations - such as D.E.I policies.
The Unveiling of the True Face of Violence & Hypocrisy
The third most crucial turning point that Charlie brought forth is the unveiling of the true face of violence and hypocrisy.
The flooding of the internet with both influencers and memes celebrating the death and the mocking of a fellow human being should alarm everyone.
If we allow the world and mankind to justify murder just because of someone’s political beliefs, we should know that does not make you morally superior, but rather disgracefully morally inferior.
One last point that a lot of people missed is that Charlie was never a "conservative political activist," although this world loves to throw labels around which often leads to misunderstanding a public figure.
His beliefs - which were never political to begin with - were rooted in the Holy Word of God, the Holy Bible.
Every time Charlie debated in favor of pro-life or tried to encourage the youth to embrace their natural birth gender - it was never out of discrimination or racism, but rather, it was rooted from a deep conviction that God is creator of Heaven and earth and that our bodies are the holy temple of God and must be honored and respected (1 Corinthians 3:16-17, King James Version.)
We were created in the image and likeness of God, male and female (Genesis 1:27).
In the first video below, you're encouraged to tune into his full speech instead of taking a few retweets or TikTok spliced quotes out of context.
In this speech, Charlie makes the case to debate against a right-wing conservative extremist.
Charlie explains that while "homosexuality is a sin" and should be aknowledged as sin if we do adhere to Biblical truth, he also correctly condemns white supremacy and condemns right wing extremism.
He reminds us that Jesus dined with "prositutes and tax collectors" and that our Holy Bible commands us to exhibit the fruits of the Holy Spirit which include "long-suffering, kindness and gentleness." (Galatians 5:22-23 NKJV).
Tune into the full speech below.
In summary, Charlie was not afraid to stand with truth and admit that homosexuality is indeed a sin, as it is written in the Holy Bible (Romans 1:26–27; I Corinthians 6:9-10 NKJV; and more) yet he also correctly points out that Jesus stood for love and compassion and Jesus Himself sat and dined with sinners, correcting them, but never rejecting them.
Charlie correctly argues that conservatives who cast away, reject or shun others are not truly "conservatives" because they are not upholding true conservative values, nor are they upholding the US Constitution (constitutional rights.)
Every accusation made against him spitefully accusing him of being "homophobic" or "racist" is either rooted in ignorance - from lack of knowing this public figure in depth - or it is rooted in lack of knowledge of biblical scripture.
You may or may not be Christian as a reader, and that is not as relevant as being able to admit truth and facts when we are faced with them.
It would be factual to state that the world openly celebrates Islam, Buddhism and celebrates Pride parades and feminism, but somehow every time Christianity is mentioned or insinuated, this causes so much discomfort - that Charlie was assassinated for it.
Make no mistake, this has nothing to do with religion.
If you are openly (or secretly) celebrating the death and murder of any person, I would encourage you to reconsider your moral compass.
A Father “Turning In” His Own Son to the Authorities
After a 33 hour manhunt, Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah, was taken into custody by his own father on September 11, 2025 (BBC, 2025; Fox News, 2025.)
His arrest was first publicly announced by 47th US President Donald Trump who gave honor and tribute for the passing of Charlie calling him “legendary” and “great”.
On one of his official socials, he posted:
"No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!" - Donald J. Trump speaking about Charlie
The assassination of Kirk took place at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, where Charlie was shot while he was peacefully debating with students.
According to Stepheny Price from Fox News, Tyler’s own father turned his son in after discovering he was guilty.
This decision was recognised by an expert in human behavior and described as ‘extraordinary’ and ‘profoundly difficult’ for a parent to make.
"Life is never going to be the same for them," Susan Constantine, a human behavior specialist, told Fox News Digital.
"The fact that they stood up, did what was right, even as difficult as it was – their own son, their own blood, to think that their own blood was capable of carrying out such a heinous act. It has got to be a weight that none of us could ever imagine on our shoulders."
Susan Constantine is specialised in threat assessment and deception detection, and reportedly said to journalists from Fox News that the family's decision to turn their own son into custody reflects "a moral compass" and could also potentially serve as a model for other families that may face problems and signs of ‘radicalisation’ (Price, Stepheny, 2025.)
What should additionally be said is that Utah is a state with the death penalty.
The decision to turn one's son in and to favor the truth instead of falling prey to cowardice - even in the face of a potential death penalty - carries weight.
Robinson's first public hearing took place on September 17, 2025.
Tyler Robinson, as reported by BBC, is “being charged for aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, two counts of obstruction of justice, two counts of witness tampering, and committing a violent crime when children are present" (BBC, 2025.)
The Shift
Economics:
The shaking that the nations are now witnessing are the labor pains of a global paradigm shift, a post neoliberal order society.
In order to understand it, we first should understand what neoliberalism is. Economically, it was revived (but not coined) after the Nixon shock in 1972.
Neoliberalism would dominate as a global ideology of “morality” and “righteousness” - bringing about many economic and moralistic ideals alike throughout the world.
Economically, the post-WWII Bretton Woods era was sliding into crisis.
As reported by the Department of History of the United States Government,
“Under the Bretton Woods system, the external values of foreign currencies were fixed in relation to the U.S. dollar, whose value was in turn expressed in gold at the congressionally-set price of $35 per ounce.
By the 1960s, a surplus of U.S. dollars caused by foreign aid, military spending, and foreign investment threatened this system, as the United States did not have enough gold to cover the volume of dollars in worldwide circulation at the rate of $35 per ounce; as a result, the dollar was overvalued" (USA History Dept. Gov)
In short, the Nixon shock gave birth to a form of neoliberalism where the gold standard got replaced with "floating exchange rates" and this is what contributed to the economically globalised world order, where all the world economies have become interconnected.
This complex interweaving of the global economies has caused in the long-run a displacement of domestic labor in favor of massive international imports.
Today, this means less domestic labor for young people and a general shortage of domestic jobs.
Today, this means the increase of remote jobs and the increase of digital based jobs.
Ideology:
Neoliberalism was also an ideology that took on many different forms and beliefs throughout history - those ideas at the core were similar, but changed reality drastically in the different forms in which they were implemented.
That’s why ideas matter to a certain extent - it’s the intention behind the idea, the modus operandi, the how we do something and why we do it that can bring either prosperity or destruction.
At its core, neoliberalism was inspired by Adam Smith, F. Hayek, A. Rustow and other latter neoliberal economists that reinforced the idea of freedom, open markets and that the individual should be empowered and have the right to pursue his or her destiny.
This is the foundation of the Western world which was built on the backbone of Christian beliefs - and that’s a historical fact!
The problem with present day neoliberalism is that it was globalised and departed from its original faith-led foundation.
The more the core ideals moved away from the original word of God, the more neoliberalism - politically, economically, and ideologically - began to intertwine and intermix with competing ideologies.
The perfect example of this is the form of neoliberal socialism that predominated in the Mediterranean region post WWII.
Charlie, in my opinion, represented the resistance to the postmodern form of neoliberalism which has become a new entity altogether due to globalisation.
In my personal view, Charlie represented the patriots and the believers who desired to prosper, to love others, and to be pioneers of the form of neoliberalism that was closer to the word of God.
That was the essence behind “making America great again”.
That was the dream - to see America prosper again with more jobs, and more freedom in the market, free from the bureaucratic nightmares and excessive regulations that had choked out many opportunities for today’s youth.
Charlie, in my view, proposed a return to - or rather - a new, revised, and updated wave of neoliberal-conservatism founded on biblical ideals and morals, the traditional family, peace, freedom of thought, freedom of speech and freedom of the economy.
Kirk was a very peaceful person who did not believe in violence nor in the power of physical weapons.
His ultimate dream was to see a world where positivity - through the power of the word of God and of the gospel of Lord Jesus Christ - would bring a revival to the people and an end in self-deprecation, hatred, violence and nihilism.
The facts speak: he left us holding a microphone in his hands, speaking gently to university students before getting publicly shot.
In short, he chose life and life abundantly - and he chose that until his very last breath.
He was assassinated for it - yet his dream has now been multiplied and now millions of people have been blessed to carry on his legacy.
The Connected Events
The murder of Iryna Zarutska and martyrdom of Ashur Sarnaya are not casual coincidences.
It is not a coincidence that Iraqi Christian believer Ashur Sarnaya was martyred on the same day as Charlie Kirk.
It is not a coincidence that Iryna was slaughtered in public on August 22, 2025, around the same period.
It also is not a coincidence that Kirk’s assassin, Tyler Robinson, was put in custody on September 11, 2025, the day where we commemorate the loss of all the innocent lives lost of 9/11.
The truth is that America unfortunately has definitely forgotten what happened on 9/11 even though we all internationally pledged to "never forget".
We as a nation forgot very quickly to keep our citizens safe when we decided to be so reckless with the handling of our borders and allowed unchecked immigrants to massively flow in.
Let me be clear, I’m not against helping political refugees.
I’m against the illegal and unchecked immigration of criminals, terrorists, thieves and malicious individuals.
It is the responsibility of a nation to safeguard a nation and to make sure that its security is in check.
It is also not a coincidence that on August 28, 2025, Minneapolis observed the shooting of a Catholic School, killing 2 children and leaving 17 injured (The Guardian, 2025.)
Though it has not yet been confirmed, allegedly Iryna was said to be an orthodox Christian, allowing us to understand that the common targets of the shootings and killings were exclusively Christians.
The Point of Convergence
The point of convergence of all these events, tragic in nature, that should bring disgust to any normal and mentally sane human being, all point to Jesus.
The assasination of Charlie Kirk is being guised by mainstream media as being a consequence of his right-wing activism, but anyone who knows him in depth and anyone who is well versed on Bible scripture can tell you that this was never about politics.
This was the fate of Jesus' disciples.
It was the fate of Joan of Arc, who got burned at the stake at only 19 years of age.
It was the fate of Stephen, the very first Christian martyr.
They were hated by the world because they were not of the world.
"If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also."
- John 15:18-20 NKJV
Does this mean all the followers of Christ are destined to die for Him?
Spiritually, yes.
If we truly follow Christ and obey Him, He commanded us to deny ourselves daily, pick up our cross and to follow Him.
And physically, as martyrs?
Only God knows about that.
Heaven is full of saints and not all are martyrs, but some are.
I can tell you one thing for certain.
Nobody dies for a lie.
Nobody gets assassinated for a lie.
And the truth is always worth standing for and even dying for.
Glory be to the Lord Jesus Christ.
We honor you brother Charlie.
They thought they killed him, but they created millions and millions of more Charlies.
God. Always. Wins.
Fear God, not mankind.
