THE BLACKSMITH CHRONICLES
PODCAST
HOSTS: RYAN JOHNSON + MICHAEL REILLY
In this powerful episode of The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, Ryan Johnson addresses the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk (Turning Point USA) on September 10, 2025. Ryan reflects on Charlie’s legacy, his unwavering faith, and the spiritual implications of his death. This episode is a call for the Body of Christ to rise in boldness, pray with authority, and speak truth in a world gripped by darkness.
Ryan discusses the rise of wickedness in the world, the tension between free speech and cancel culture, and the importance of taking a biblical stance on cultural issues such as gender, morality, and truth. He reminds us that Charlie’s life and death represent a clash between light and darkness — and that the church must not stay silent.
