Charlie Kirk: One Year Later - Ep. 974 - September 10, 2026

Charlie Kirk's faith, courage, and influence remain central to this special episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, recorded one year after his assassination. Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland remember Kirk's commitment to Jesus Christ, his work with Turning Point USA, and the message he wanted people to associate with his life: faith above all else. The hosts discuss how Kirk communicated biblical truth with clarity, defended freedom on college campuses, and spoke with conviction while still showing grace and respect toward those who disagreed with him. The conversation also examines Kirk's early decision to found Turning Point USA at just 18 years old, his self-education, his political influence, and the responsibility carried by an organization with hundreds of staff members. The hosts reflect on the worldwide response to his death, the reported increase in Bible sales, renewed interest in church, and the challenge of continuing his mission. This episode also addresses criticism from within organizations and churches, the danger of allowing constant attacks to destroy constructive work, and the biblical warning about opposition that comes from within. The discussion closes with thoughts on freedom, government, personal responsibility, and President Trump's proposed $5,000 dividend for American adults. Remember Charlie Kirk for the stand he took, the truth he proclaimed, and the faith he wanted to leave behind.
