We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of an American icon. Yesterday, Turning Point USA founder and Christian Conservative Charlie Kirk was outrageously assassinated at a live event at Utah Valley University.
Charlie leaves behind his loving family (parents, a young wife, and two small children) as well as a rich legacy and tremendous impact, particularly within the young adult populations. Charlie accomplished more, and positively influenced more people, in his 31 years than most anyone does in a lifetime.
Charlie embodied the call to “love God, love family, and love country.” He worked tirelessly with an optimistic and vibrant spirit to spread the gospel, speak truth from the Word of God, and educate and empower Gen Y and Z related to Christianity, politics, current events, and our nation.
In reality, Charlie Kirk’s work across our nation, including at schools and college campuses, sparked a movement towards God and standing up for Christian values amongst these generations and beyond. Many would credit him and his organization with helping to usher in revival.
His work has inspired tens of millions and was seen by many as instrumental in President Trump’s 2024 election victory. Relentless work, led by Turning Point and Early Vote Action (Scott Pressler), resulted in record turnout for the GOP in these segments.
Charlie was also instrumental in equipping and inspiring pastors to find their voices to speak truth and address current events from the pulpit. In an age where fear of government, fear of criticism, and focus on church revenue and growth watered down messages, he called pastors to be Godly leaders to stand against evil and an anti-Christian globalist agenda.
Please join us in grieving, appreciating, and honoring Charlie—and praying for his family, his organization, and those close to him. We pray for God’s grace and a peace that passes all understanding for all of them, knowing that Charlie’s influence and impact will continue on.
Many have already offered that they believe his heinous execution will be a true turning point, further ramping up the movement that he started. This needs to be a catalyst and not a retreat.
Charlie is irreplaceable and will be missed tremendously. He was truly a kind, happy warrior and one-of-a-kind with immense gifts. Sadly, many hated him for his beliefs and bold stance on difficult topics. Even so, Charlie has positively changed millions of lives and even history—and I offer that Heaven celebrates him.
Without question, Charlie Kirk has left a tremendous lasting imprint on this nation and this world.
