Should a Christian engage in politics? I once talked with an individual and was sharing teaching from the Word of God and he cut off communication not because of me but because others shrugged their shoulders with Roe V Wade was overturned and said essentially - of the world, who cares. That kind of attitude, while I trust I was never so baldly uncaring as that, is common with some saints that I know, but my study of Charlie Kirk challenged my own somewhat non-committal stance on this topic. Was he right? Was it "incumbent" on a Christian to do all that we could to save this "beautiful country?" As I studied this I learned more and more that while I though Charlie was off into a ditch on this issue...there were some things that I was missing as well. This episode seeks to present an overview of my findings and to show you the listener a picture of how a Christian should navigate this difficult question.

Charlie Kirk was killed on September 10, 2025. Why did the Lord allow him to die? What lessons can we learn from his life? And How should we respond to his death? These questions are taken up in this episode of the podcast.

Have you ever gotten bad news? Maybe from a doctor? Maybe about cancer or about your child or about yourself? Many years ago Hezekiah from the Old Testament was told that he was going to die. Hezekiah's response is a lesson in what NOT to do...but there is a right answer. How should we respond when God chooses to bring suffering into our lives?
