The assassination of Charlie Kirk on 9/10/25 shook us all. On the eve of the 24th anniversary of 9/11, we were reminded yet again of the deep darkness pressing in on our world. From violent attacks in the United States to tragedies abroad, the evil seems relentless.
In moments like this, we need to be reminded of the only way forward—standing firm in Christ. That’s the focus of this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," recorded just 24 hours before this unthinkable act. Host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow speak to the reality of our spiritual battlefield, the constant pull of a depraved world, and the hope we have when we trust God completely.
As Philippians 2:15 reminds us, God calls us to “shine like stars in the sky” in a warped and crooked generation. Though Charlie’s earthly light is no longer with us, his life seemed to live that out—standing firm and pointing others to the Truth. That same call is before us: to trust God and to do what He says—so that we shine like stars.
