Processing Kirk’s Murder: Our Mission Forward

The assassination of Charlie Kirk shocked a nation. In this week’s episode, Ben Peterson, Army combat veteran and founder of Engage Your Destiny, processes the murder of a respected leader, Charlie Kirk while issuing a sobering reminder: our battle is not with guns and bullets, but for the soul of our nation. Ben shares the heartbreak of seeing the video of Charlie’s death, his prayers for resurrection, and how God gave him clarity in the midst of grief. From the martyrdom of Paul and Peter… to the radical conversion of John Newton… to the true meaning of the Great Commission—this message is both a call to spiritual war and a challenge to lay down our lives for the sake of others.
