The assassination of Charlie Kirk has left many Christians reeling, wondering what it means for believers in an increasingly hostile culture. In this powerful conversation with apologist Jason Jimenez, we explore the profound legacy of a modern Christian martyr and what his death reveals about the state of faith in America today.
Jason shares intimate details about Charlie's unwavering commitment to the gospel, including how he once told wealthy donors who wanted him to tone down his Christian message to "send your money elsewhere" because his was fundamentally "a gospel-centered ministry." We discuss the prophetic nature of Charlie's statement just one year before his death when he said, "My faith compels me to fight corruption in government and culture, just as prophets like John the Baptist did" – drawing a parallel to the biblical figure who was also beheaded for speaking truth to power.
The response to Charlie's death has been nothing short of extraordinary. Turning Point USA, which had approximately 4,000 chapters nationwide, received an astonishing 35,000 requests for new chapters within just 48 hours of the assassination. As Charlie's wife Erica powerfully stated, "You thought you silenced him. Just wait and see what's going to happen."
This conversation offers more than just reflection on a tragedy – it provides a roadmap for Christians navigating an increasingly hostile culture. Jason encourages believers not to privatize their faith, to confront evil in their communities with both conviction and grace, and to remain steadfast in their mission to "crowd heaven" despite opposition.
Could this moment become the catalyst for the greatest spiritual revival our nation has ever seen? History shows that persecution often precedes revival. Join us as we explore how Charlie Kirk's legacy continues to inspire a new generation of believers to stand bold for their faith, regardless of the cost.

life's challenges with a boldconfidence and renewed hope.
Now let's join our host, ronMyers.
The promoter.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Listeners, so good to be with you once again.
I'm still getting over some ofthe emotions I have went through
with the assassination of ourbrother Charlie Kirk, and to
have a conversation today.
I called a friend I met a fewyears ago at the National
Religious BroadcastingConvention and a lot of you call
me a Jesus freak.
Well, I'm nothing compared tomy guest.
(00:44):
He is on fire for God and Ijust have the pleasure to talk
to him today.
His name is Jason Jimenez.
Did I say it right?
You?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
almost did, ron, it's Jimenez, but hey, you know what
?
I still love you.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Amen.
Well, Jason, tell the listenersa little bit about you and your
ministry.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Yeah, well one.
I appreciate being reconnectedwith you, ron.
Like you said, it was a Godthing how God just put us
together and how we've stayedconnected through prayer and
obviously following each otheron social media, and I've always
loved your big smile and yourjoy for life and family and,
most importantly, our savior.
But real quickly, yeah, godcalled me at 18 years old in
(01:22):
Arizona as a pastor.
I had no clue what that lookedlike, other than the few figures
that I had in my life who werepastors.
My family came out of theCatholic church and so we were
young in our faith and lookingfor a Bible, teaching church and
learning about grace, and itwas around that time when my mom
was then suddenly killed in acar accident.
So it's hard to be with peoplethat were lost or had questions,
(01:47):
as I had many, many questions,and so it became clear that God
was going to call me to be apastor.
But I wanted to study, and so,lo and behold, I was at the
University of Arizona, studiedphilosophy, loved apologetics,
loved the biblical worldviewstuff, but wasn't getting enough
where I was in Tucson, arizona.
So my wife and I packed up bags, you know, a few years into the
(02:07):
ministry with two small kidspacked up our bags, sold our
house, moved to Charlotte, northCarolina, where I still reside
today, 20 years ago, and went toseminary and got to meet the
legendary Dr Norman Geisler, whowas one of my professors.
He attended my church he was amember there where I was
pastoring families and students,and he and I started to do
ministry together.
(02:27):
We would do Wednesday nightelectives, we would do Q and A's
, we would have mini mealstogether, and he began to
disciple me and teach me and Iwould grow and learn, and it
wasn't long after I was at a bigmega church pastoring all these
families where God had calledme to start our own ministry,
which is known as Stand StrongMinistries, where we get to
travel around the globe,primarily the United States, and
(02:51):
I have the distinct pleasure togo into a lot of churches and
equip pastors and parents andyoung people, and so I'm
actually currently writing my10th book now on spiritual
warfare, and so I partner withFocus on the Family Summit
Ministries, stand to Reason,with Greg Koukl and his team,
where we do these massivestudent conferences all over the
(03:11):
country and, as we're going tobe remembering our dear friend
Charlie Kirk, who just lovedyoung people and loved
interacting with them.
I do too, and that's one thingwhy I just was so fond of
Charlie was his ability toconnect with people when most of
the people you know that werein power would neglect them.
And so that's what we do now.
We use apologetics, we use thecase for Christ to go out there
(03:33):
and engage people who areseeking so you mentioned the
name, charlie Kirk, and the dayyou heard about the
assassination.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
What went in your mind?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah, actually I was preparing for this conference, I
was putting a talk together andI came up to just kind of see
you know, usually when I'mwriting and working my phones
off and so I've been really inthe dark for hours but I
happened to come out and turn myphone on to check, you know,
some texts and to communicatewith some people, and I had
several texts there telling usyou know, did you hear about
(04:05):
Charlie?
Did you hear about Charlie?
And so, like everybody, I, youknow, jumped online to see what
had happened and began toimmediately text some of my
friends who work there withCharlie.
And that's when I saw the news,and so I immediately, I was
shocked, I was startled, I wasangry, I was fearful, I was
prayerful, I startled, I wasangry, I was fearful, I was
(04:27):
prayerful, I started to worryabout several friends.
Actually a dear friend of mine,frank Turek, who actually is one
of my mentors.
We go way back.
We went to church together askids from my youth group.
He was, you know, trained underDr Norman Geisler, as I was.
He runs a great, powerfulministry called Cross-Examined.
He has mentored Charlie Kirksince 2020.
And he actually was there, ron,at the campus, and he had just
(04:50):
been spending time with Charliethat day and he was right off to
the side of Charlie, filmingright next to the tent by some
of his security, and Frank wasone of the guys in the vehicle
that was rushing Charlie to thenearest hospital and witnessed.
Really, charlie was like a sonto Frank.
(05:12):
You know Frank is an amazingfather, raised three boys.
They're all out of the houseand so Charlie, remember he was
only 31.
So he was the age of many ofFrank's kids.
So just, you know, when youhear this and you see, you know
I didn't know Charlie that well.
I had the distinct honor tomeet him a couple times with
some of the events that we wereteaching at, and he's always
(05:33):
very cordial, filled with life,big smiles, wanted to know you
know, everybody you know and wasvery personable, and so I
always felt that around him andwe were always very supportive
of this young man, how God'shand was on him.
So to see that at that momentand the impact that it had on
people, I just it brought usdown to our knees, to be honest.
(05:54):
I just I was stunned.
The rest of the day Many of uswere on the phone that do that
for a living, that are in thosearenas that speak to young
people.
We just went numb and, yeah, itwas very sad.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You may not have been surprised, as I have been
seeing how popular, how manypeople across the globe love
this man.
I mean I thought he was a rockstar but then all of a sudden,
I'm seeing things in London, inKorea, and these memorials and
the thousands and the millionsof people that are watching his
videos and I thought, my God,lord, you were really using that
man.
I had no idea.
I don't know, maybe, besidessomeone like Billy Graham, I
(06:39):
don't know in my lifetime ifI've ever seen or met anyone,
the Christian faith, that hadthat much influence.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Have you?
No, and matter of fact, beforeI came on with you, I'm writing
an article for the ChristianPost and we're gonna be making a
video and, simply put, isCharlie Cook a modern Christian
martyr.
I would go to step further andsay we have not seen in our
lifetime and a person in Americawho is homegrown one of us, for
(07:06):
those who are listening herewho are Americans that we've
seen someone who was murderedfor their faith.
For their faith, because let'sbe clear, you know, and I've had
some open, cordialconversations with some very
prominent leaders who say, nodoubt I love Charlie, stood with
Charlie, but they viewed himmore as a political activist,
(07:28):
and those people who think thatdon't know who Charlie was.
Then, exactly Because Charliewas very clear that he lived by
faith.
In fact, frank Turek, when hefirst publicly came out and gave
just a moving, heartfeltpodcast to Erica and remembering
his dear friend, he said therewas one point in time when many
(07:50):
donors came to him after anevent and they said, charlie, we
love you, we want to keepsupporting this, but can you
kind of remove some of thegospel conversation that you're
having, because we really justneed to focus it on the politics
and get these young people tobe out there to vote.
He says then send your moneysomewhere else.
This is a gospel-centeredministry, and so my language
(08:12):
that I'm trying to convey topeople because, you're right,
we've never seen anything likethis With Billy.
Incredible, I mean again, oneof the greatest evangelists ever
, right, I mean since the daysof John the Baptist and DL Moody
.
But he wasn't martyred for hisfaith, right, we were blessed to
have Billy Graham for 99 years,and you know, and he quietly,
(08:33):
you know, went to go be with theLord.
And here we see a 31-year-oldwho knew and let me just speak,
if I may, ron, to some of thepeople listening, having a
little bit of an inside trackfrom a lot of people who loved
and worked with Charlie, greatboss, great man of God.
What you saw on the stage.
He was in real life, with hiswife, erica, and his two girls.
(08:54):
He would see things in peoplethat they didn't see in
themselves.
In fact, his chief of staffthat has run his life for
several years.
He said I want you to be mychief of staff.
And the guy was like are youkidding me?
There's no way.
I'm capable and did not want todo it.
And now again, the people, just, of course, that's what Charlie
(09:16):
sees in you, because you knowwhat I mean.
God gave him a gift, and so Isay this because what we're
seeing now in response of thisman who laid down his life, this
guy would get not justcomplaints, not just threats,
but he would literally be out inpublic on his own time with his
family and people would come upto him and try to assault him
in public, in front of hisfamily.
(09:37):
So when you, when you realize asI was one time at an event
coming in on a on a campus andhe was leaving and we got to you
know, see each other for alittle bit, and he was on his
way out and he had his securitydetail afterwards Somebody had
made mention to that and like,oh there's, charlie, this big
shot, blah, blah, blah, whatever.
(09:57):
And I just respectfully said,hey, you know the kind of life
that he lives, and he wasprobably 27 at the time.
And I said, hey, you know thekind of life that he lives, and
he was probably 27 at the time.
And I said, do you realize whathe goes through?
And he doesn't care becausehe's honored to proclaim Christ.
So when we see him out there inpublic, knowing that there's
limited security, knowing thatthere have been threats, knowing
that there have beensuggestions to pull back and not
(10:18):
do some of these big outings,he says I have to, this is what
God has called me to do.
So he knew what he was doing,ron.
And so I think the response nowis because people saw someone
who was martyred for their faith.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
And I was listening to something yesterday I think
it was Jonathan Kahn was sayinghad a video out and said that
probably 10 times the peoplethat have never heard of Charlie
Kirk have watched his videossince then.
Charlie Kirk is bigger now andmore popular than he was when he
was alive.
(10:56):
And I was drawn yesterdaySomething just told me to look
in the book of Acts and I comeacross Stephen and I'm thinking
about Stephen, the first martyrin the Bible, and they stoned
him because of his language andhis speech.
They hated what he was saying.
And then it says he looked upand proclaimed, he saw Jesus and
(11:17):
the Holy Spirit, and then theywent nuts and then they killed
him and I'm thinking the HolySpirit.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
And then they went nuts and then they, they killed
him and I'm thinking, my God,this is a template of Charlie
Kirk.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, his lifeembodied that charge You're
right, I mean, and I and you'reso right in looking at the life
of Stephen.
I know it's hard for people whoare listening, ron, who we've
been blessed to be in this greatcountry of ours and to be able
to have all these Bibles, andwhere you and I met to have a
massive, you know, conference,where people that are in this
(11:47):
world of sharing the gospelthrough the airwaves, you know
we can come together in abeautiful hotel and share and
tell stories and support oneanother.
But there's parts of the worldwhere they don't have that.
And so this idea to think inAmerica that someone was killed
for their faith.
(12:07):
You know, we try to look for adifferent explanation, but
didn't the Bible say in 2Timothy 3, verse 12, this is
indeed all who desire to live agodly life in Christ Jesus will
be persecuted.
And so, as he was beingpersecuted, as I mentioned
earlier in his own private life,you know he could have easily
said you know what this isn'tfor me.
This is why you'll never seethe face of their children,
because they shunned them, theyhid their face because they knew
there are evil, despicablepeople out there who want to try
(12:28):
to go after his family, who'sprotecting his kids at all costs
.
But you know what?
There was a charge that heboldly proclaimed the word of
God according to 2 Timothy, 4,verse 2, preach the word be
ready in season and out ofseason, and that's what Charlie
did.
4, verse 2, preach the word beready in season and out of
season, and that's what Charliedid.
He was, he was preparinghimself, and now nobody knows
when the when the day will comewhen any of us go be with the
(12:53):
Lord.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
But he was ready.
He was ready, yeah, he wasready.
And the day that it happened,and really for the next few days
, there was a shift or somethingin me.
I mean I'm a Jesus freak, Imean I am a wild, crazy guy with
Jesus.
But something happened that dayand I told myself there really
is a target on us Christians.
There really is, as you justsaid, evil, evil times 10 out
(13:17):
there and I've had a boldnessand had to come from the Holy
Spirit because I always thoughtI was bold.
But there's something that'schanging now in my ministry.
I don't really know what it is,but it is that we really this
walk we have with Christ, we notonly have to take it serious
for our life, but those aroundus, because there are people
(13:37):
right now I've talked to Jasonthat they're afraid, they don't
know what to do.
They're kind of saying, well, Idon't know if I want to go out
there.
What would you tell the peopleout there listening that still
are grieving and mourning overCharlie and they just don't know
how they're going to go on.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Well one.
As Christians, we have aneternal perspective.
So as they hated Christ, theysaid they will hate us.
So we are sojourners.
This isn't our comfortable lifethat we are just to put all of
our eggs into one basket.
So if anybody, I would just say, gently, graciously, I myself
have had to learn and repentthroughout my life.
I know, ron, you as well assomeone who is a Jesus freak
(14:16):
like me.
We love our savior Jesus, whodied for us.
Romans 5.10 says it's throughthe life of Christ that we are
saved, and it's no longer we wholive, but it's Christ who lives
in us.
Galatians 2.20,.
As Paul said, because he firstloved us, right.
And so what I would say forChristians, like when something
like this happens, we are tomourn, we are to be sad, we are
(14:36):
to pray for justice, we are topray for Erica, we are to as one
member suffers in the body, weall suffer.
But as we look at our lives,and when you do have a
representation of someone andthe fact that he was 31, so
young, and yet what he did, thatis one thing is that's what the
Holy Spirit can do to a lifethat's consecrated before him.
(14:59):
So one thing you can learn fromsomebody like that who didn't
go to college, didn't go toseminary, right, and you're
hearing pastors like Jack Hibbsand Frank Turek, one of our
leading apologists, who's 64years old.
He says on his podcast in honorof his dear friend says Charlie
was smarter than me.
You know, he's half his age,but he acknowledged.
I love that.
(15:20):
There's this winsomeness, thathe had this humility but this
deep intellect.
So I would say, be convicted.
Yes, as we mourn and say, whatcan I learn from a man who lived
out his life at such a youngage but he accomplished so much
in Christ?
Two, I would encourage peopleas we do mourn, as we look
within and we confess some ofthese sins.
Remember the hope, though, thatwe have is in that eternal
(15:43):
perspective, and it goes back to2 Timothy 4, verse 8.
Remember, it says that there'slaid up for me a crown of
righteousness, and every singleone of us who live for Christ
here on earth, when we do die,when our time is up, whether
we're raptured or we die beforethe rapture, when we're taken up
, that we will receive thatcrown of righteousness.
And one thing that brought me totears just to encourage people,
(16:07):
is when you have people that werespect and admire, like Jack
Hibbs, the pastor there inCalvary, california, who was
such a dear friend to Charlieand they did so many amazing
ministry things together.
In his sermon that night couldyou imagine this?
He goes way back with Charlieand, you know, before Charlie
really even started TPUSA, theysaw this anointing in this young
(16:33):
guy who was 18 years old andthey clapped and they said well
done, good and faithful servant,and I think that that's that's
what I think, what we, you know.
So, as we shed tears and stuff,but you also kind of get that
shivers and the fear of God inus and also rejoicing when we
see one of our own, even thoughhe took a bullet, for Christ
he's with the Lord, he is, and Idon't want us to be discouraged
(16:54):
.
I don't want us to getdiscouraged.
I want us to be encouraged.
I don't want us to feeldefeated.
I want us to use this and feeltriumphed and known and knowing
that that, like you said, listen, let's put it in perspective
too.
This is what's powerful.
They had an estimated of overapproximately, from high school
to college, almost 4,000chapters two days after his
(17:14):
assassination 35,000 requestsfor new chapter, 35,000.
Wow, okay, yeah, so, as Ericasaid, you thought you silenced
him.
Just wait and see what's goingto happen.
And the mission now that we allhave so anybody listening is
what Charlie was known to say,and Frank is repeating it and I
heard it loud and clear.
(17:34):
And so, in our ministry, in allwhatever partnerships to
advance God's kingdom, we workfor him.
He is our Lord and our master.
We want to do the work that Godhas called us to do so we can
crowd heaven, yep crowd heaven,yep, crowd heaven.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I love that.
When I heard him say that andlast week I've made a comment
that well, charlie is not withthe Lord, but there's a million
Charlie Kirks that were justborn His voice, his message is
going to be louder and, like Isaid, something that happened
that in me and I've talked tosome people that you know we
want to share Jesus with people.
(18:08):
Now we want to go out there andbe bold, like Charlie was, and
and talk with people and engagein people, not being mean or
nasty, but the gift he had tohave a conversation.
People say, oh, he just spoke alot of hate.
I said, well, I'll tell youwhat.
If you go find a video and youhave hate in there, bring it to
me, charlie talking hate andI'll give you $100.
(18:31):
But I won't be giving youanything because he did not, he
did not speak that.
Now, to shift just a little bitbecause of time, you live in
Charlotte, north Carolina.
Something horrific.
It just shuddered when I sawthis on the news a few weeks ago
the young lady from Ukrainewhen you saw that that's not a
(18:51):
religious thing, but that's justanother sort of evil that's in
this world.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Well, yeah, and after that you have the shootings you
know, at a Catholic school upin Minnesota.
And you're seeing our mostprecious, and that's not the
first time.
But to think about young kidsthe first day of school, just
like Charlie Kirk, that was hisfirst event on campus when
school season just started.
And you know, you see a younggirl from Ukraine.
(19:18):
She gets off, she's in the CATStrain which, by the way, for
all your listeners to know, I'vebeen on that many times going
up to Uptown with my family.
My neighbor actually works forthem and he even told me after
the brutal murder arena was thatthey have had major complaints.
We have known.
I remember seeing the newswhere they removed.
(19:40):
When we talk about violence wehave to understand about the
leadership you know.
So as we shift into thepolitical spectrum, in this case
by city council, that has nowgotten national news, and good,
because now all their names aregoing out there, ron.
And the thing is, is what theydid was they said that's too
much money to have professional,full-time police officers
protecting our publictransportation.
(20:02):
So what we're going to do iswe're going to remove those
individuals, even off-dutyofficers, who are making an
extra buck but are professionaland have live ammunition.
We're going to put part-timesecurity guards who the vast
majority of the time, don't evencheck people's stubs.
So this is what we have is wehave people who are coming and
going, getting on and off theCATS train without having a
(20:26):
ticket.
They're homeless people.
Homeless people that just rideit when it's hot for AC, when
it's cold for the heating system, and nobody cares to check, to
screen, to protect people.
So when you see this occur, youthink yeah, it was bound to
happen eventually.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
You know, jason, you obviously have so much wisdom
and I appreciate your heart andyou're taking time to visit with
my listeners Now.
I would like you to just givehope to those that are listening
right now.
Anything you feel the Lord isputting on your heart, please
share that.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Well, juan, I appreciate you.
Ron, thank you for being anexample in your heart to get the
word out and in using it withwith such, I think, grace and
joy.
And that's one thing I wouldjust say to encourage people.
I know we're living in hardtimes, but the Lord is with us,
he is faithful, he will notabandon us.
You know, he was in us asgreater than he's in the world.
And the last three things, Ithink that, yeah, if I may, and
(21:23):
I appreciate you giving thisopportunity just to give
encouragement pastorally.
Number one is if you knowChrist as your Lord and Savior,
don't privatize it.
If you need to be more publicwith your faith, I pray that you
do it.
Secondly, confront the evilthat is in your area, in your
town, your community, family,church, whatever.
(21:45):
And like we learned from ourdear friend Charlie Kirk and
there was a saying that I wasactually putting in my article
and I'd like to share with youguys, because it's about calling
out unrighteous behavior whenhe was sitting doing an
interview, charlie Kirk wasasked about you know, why do you
do what you do?
You know, and why are you sopublic about your faith?
And he said my faith compels meto fight corruption in
(22:07):
government and culture, just asprophets like john the baptist
did.
Wow.
So here you have.
Here you have ron.
Here you have a man wholiterally read the scriptures,
believed in a literal john thebaptist, who was the herald who
came to proclaim the way of thelord right, his cousin.
That was prophesied going backto Isaiah 40.
And here you have this youngman, charlie Kirk.
(22:28):
He reads that he sees God useJohn the Baptist.
He calls out corruption in thegovernment and power.
He's arrested, he's imprisonedand he's eventually beheaded.
And that's what Charlie andit's almost prophetic Notice a
year before he's assassinated.
They're asked why he's sopublic about his faith and he
says because my faith compels meand I see people like John the
(22:49):
Baptist do it.
Wow, isn't that incredible?
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yeah, yeah.
I always say when you get sofull of Jesus, it has no choice
but to come out.
You start talking.
It bubbles out of your pores.
There's a Roman about you.
If people know there'ssomething different, and that's
the opening to tell them aboutour loving Savior and that he
does have a plan.
And I mentioned last week that,listen, god was not asleep.
(23:13):
He knew what was happening, butthe story's not over.
Let's look at this in a yearand see what has happened.
How is I believe his ministryis going to absolutely explode.
As a matter of fact, I have wentto the website.
When I'm not doing podcast, I'ma promoter, I do events and I
have signed up to be a part ofthe Turning Point USA and want
(23:36):
to host some events here on theGulf Coast.
I want to get involved.
I want to see, I see theseyoung people so hungry for
something and very well could bethe beginning of a revival in
this nation that we have neverseen, birthed on the backs of
young high school and collegekids that are just ready to let
(23:57):
loose, and let God loosen thiscountry.
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah, no, I think you're onto something.
I think, as we see persecutionon the rise, you see revival.
Amen, that's the.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Jason, if people want to find out more about your
ministry and how to get in touchwith you, where do they go?
Speaker 3 (24:16):

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Well, one last thing.
Would you please close this outin prayer.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Amen, let's do it.
Father, we do.
Thank you for the life ofCharlie, lord.
We know that he's in yourloving arms.
And you say in your word, lord,that if they hated you, they
will hate us, and so we shouldnot be shocked or ashamed, lord,
because we know you.
But we're grateful and, lord,we continue to pray for Ron, for
all the people who arelistening right now, no matter
(25:01):
what's going on in their life.
You know even the number ofhair on their head.
You are so detailed about usbecause you love us and we're
made in your image.
And so, father, I pray that oneday we can say that we fought
the good fight, fight of faith,that we finished the race, that
we've kept the faith, that weknow that Charlie did.
And so I pray that we'llcontinue to not just inspire and
motivate, but, god, as Ron said, lord, that a revival will come
(25:23):
, that the power of your HolySpirit will fall upon people in
politics, in government, inhealth, in education, in family,
all across this nation and allacross all nations around the
world.
That is held in your hand.
And, father, we pray, lord, ifthere's any sin that has
hindered us, that has caused usto be ashamed of our faith or
(25:46):
scared.
Lord, we know there are peoplewho are afraid and they've seen
some tragedy.
And, god, we just pray that youwould embolden them.
We pray that you would givethem the comfort as you can only
give as your good shepherd, andwe pray this in Jesus' name,
amen.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Charlie Kirk, how do you want?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
to be remembered.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
If I die, everything just goes away.
How would you if you could beassociated with one thing?
How would you want to beremembered?
I want to be remembered forcourage, for my faith.
That would be the mostimportant thing is my faith.
As we close out today's program, I want to encourage you to

The promoter.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Listeners, so good to be with you once again.
I'm still getting over some ofthe emotions I have went through
with the assassination of ourbrother Charlie Kirk, and to
have a conversation today.
I called a friend I met a fewyears ago at the National
Religious BroadcastingConvention and a lot of you call
me a Jesus freak.
Well, I'm nothing compared tomy guest.
(00:44):
He is on fire for God and Ijust have the pleasure to talk
to him today.
His name is Jason Jimenez.
Did I say it right?
You?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
almost did, ron, it's Jimenez, but hey, you know what
?
I still love you.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Amen.
Well, Jason, tell the listenersa little bit about you and your
ministry.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Yeah, well one.
I appreciate being reconnectedwith you, ron.
Like you said, it was a Godthing how God just put us
together and how we've stayedconnected through prayer and
obviously following each otheron social media, and I've always
loved your big smile and yourjoy for life and family and,
most importantly, our savior.
But real quickly, yeah, godcalled me at 18 years old in
(01:22):
Arizona as a pastor.
I had no clue what that lookedlike, other than the few figures
that I had in my life who werepastors.
My family came out of theCatholic church and so we were
young in our faith and lookingfor a Bible, teaching church and
learning about grace, and itwas around that time when my mom
was then suddenly killed in acar accident.
So it's hard to be with peoplethat were lost or had questions,
(01:47):
as I had many, many questions,and so it became clear that God
was going to call me to be apastor.
But I wanted to study, and so,lo and behold, I was at the
University of Arizona, studiedphilosophy, loved apologetics,
loved the biblical worldviewstuff, but wasn't getting enough
where I was in Tucson, arizona.
So my wife and I packed up bags, you know, a few years into the
(02:07):
ministry with two small kidspacked up our bags, sold our
house, moved to Charlotte, northCarolina, where I still reside
today, 20 years ago, and went toseminary and got to meet the
legendary Dr Norman Geisler, whowas one of my professors.
He attended my church he was amember there where I was
pastoring families and students,and he and I started to do
ministry together.
(02:27):
We would do Wednesday nightelectives, we would do Q and A's
, we would have mini mealstogether, and he began to
disciple me and teach me and Iwould grow and learn, and it
wasn't long after I was at a bigmega church pastoring all these
families where God had calledme to start our own ministry,
which is known as Stand StrongMinistries, where we get to
travel around the globe,primarily the United States, and
(02:51):
I have the distinct pleasure togo into a lot of churches and
equip pastors and parents andyoung people, and so I'm
actually currently writing my10th book now on spiritual
warfare, and so I partner withFocus on the Family Summit
Ministries, stand to Reason,with Greg Koukl and his team,
where we do these massivestudent conferences all over the
(03:11):
country and, as we're going tobe remembering our dear friend
Charlie Kirk, who just lovedyoung people and loved
interacting with them.
I do too, and that's one thingwhy I just was so fond of
Charlie was his ability toconnect with people when most of
the people you know that werein power would neglect them.
And so that's what we do now.
We use apologetics, we use thecase for Christ to go out there
(03:33):
and engage people who areseeking so you mentioned the
name, charlie Kirk, and the dayyou heard about the
assassination.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
What went in your mind?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah, actually I was preparing for this conference, I
was putting a talk together andI came up to just kind of see
you know, usually when I'mwriting and working my phones
off and so I've been really inthe dark for hours but I
happened to come out and turn myphone on to check, you know,
some texts and to communicatewith some people, and I had
several texts there telling usyou know, did you hear about
(04:05):
Charlie?
Did you hear about Charlie?
And so, like everybody, I, youknow, jumped online to see what
had happened and began toimmediately text some of my
friends who work there withCharlie.
And that's when I saw the news,and so I immediately, I was
shocked, I was startled, I wasangry, I was fearful, I was
prayerful, I startled, I wasangry, I was fearful, I was
(04:27):
prayerful, I started to worryabout several friends.
Actually a dear friend of mine,frank Turek, who actually is one
of my mentors.
We go way back.
We went to church together askids from my youth group.
He was, you know, trained underDr Norman Geisler, as I was.
He runs a great, powerfulministry called Cross-Examined.
He has mentored Charlie Kirksince 2020.
And he actually was there, ron,at the campus, and he had just
(04:50):
been spending time with Charliethat day and he was right off to
the side of Charlie, filmingright next to the tent by some
of his security, and Frank wasone of the guys in the vehicle
that was rushing Charlie to thenearest hospital and witnessed.
Really, charlie was like a sonto Frank.
(05:12):
You know Frank is an amazingfather, raised three boys.
They're all out of the houseand so Charlie, remember he was
only 31.
So he was the age of many ofFrank's kids.
So just, you know, when youhear this and you see, you know
I didn't know Charlie that well.
I had the distinct honor tomeet him a couple times with
some of the events that we wereteaching at, and he's always
(05:33):
very cordial, filled with life,big smiles, wanted to know you
know, everybody you know and wasvery personable, and so I
always felt that around him andwe were always very supportive
of this young man, how God'shand was on him.
So to see that at that momentand the impact that it had on
people, I just it brought usdown to our knees, to be honest.
(05:54):
I just I was stunned.
The rest of the day Many of uswere on the phone that do that
for a living, that are in thosearenas that speak to young
people.
We just went numb and, yeah, itwas very sad.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You may not have been surprised, as I have been
seeing how popular, how manypeople across the globe love
this man.
I mean I thought he was a rockstar but then all of a sudden,
I'm seeing things in London, inKorea, and these memorials and
the thousands and the millionsof people that are watching his
videos and I thought, my God,lord, you were really using that
man.
I had no idea.
I don't know, maybe, besidessomeone like Billy Graham, I
(06:39):
don't know in my lifetime ifI've ever seen or met anyone,
the Christian faith, that hadthat much influence.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Have you?
No, and matter of fact, beforeI came on with you, I'm writing
an article for the ChristianPost and we're gonna be making a
video and, simply put, isCharlie Cook a modern Christian
martyr.
I would go to step further andsay we have not seen in our
lifetime and a person in Americawho is homegrown one of us, for
(07:06):
those who are listening herewho are Americans that we've
seen someone who was murderedfor their faith.
For their faith, because let'sbe clear, you know, and I've had
some open, cordialconversations with some very
prominent leaders who say, nodoubt I love Charlie, stood with
Charlie, but they viewed himmore as a political activist,
(07:28):
and those people who think thatdon't know who Charlie was.
Then, exactly Because Charliewas very clear that he lived by
faith.
In fact, frank Turek, when hefirst publicly came out and gave
just a moving, heartfeltpodcast to Erica and remembering
his dear friend, he said therewas one point in time when many
(07:50):
donors came to him after anevent and they said, charlie, we
love you, we want to keepsupporting this, but can you
kind of remove some of thegospel conversation that you're
having, because we really justneed to focus it on the politics
and get these young people tobe out there to vote.
He says then send your moneysomewhere else.
This is a gospel-centeredministry, and so my language
(08:12):
that I'm trying to convey topeople because, you're right,
we've never seen anything likethis With Billy.
Incredible, I mean again, oneof the greatest evangelists ever
, right, I mean since the daysof John the Baptist and DL Moody
.
But he wasn't martyred for hisfaith, right, we were blessed to
have Billy Graham for 99 years,and you know, and he quietly,
(08:33):
you know, went to go be with theLord.
And here we see a 31-year-oldwho knew and let me just speak,
if I may, ron, to some of thepeople listening, having a
little bit of an inside trackfrom a lot of people who loved
and worked with Charlie, greatboss, great man of God.
What you saw on the stage.
He was in real life, with hiswife, erica, and his two girls.
(08:54):
He would see things in peoplethat they didn't see in
themselves.
In fact, his chief of staffthat has run his life for
several years.
He said I want you to be mychief of staff.
And the guy was like are youkidding me?
There's no way.
I'm capable and did not want todo it.
And now again, the people, just, of course, that's what Charlie
(09:16):
sees in you, because you knowwhat I mean.
God gave him a gift, and so Isay this because what we're
seeing now in response of thisman who laid down his life, this
guy would get not justcomplaints, not just threats,
but he would literally be out inpublic on his own time with his
family and people would come upto him and try to assault him
in public, in front of hisfamily.
(09:37):
So when you, when you realize asI was one time at an event
coming in on a on a campus andhe was leaving and we got to you
know, see each other for alittle bit, and he was on his
way out and he had his securitydetail afterwards Somebody had
made mention to that and like,oh there's, charlie, this big
shot, blah, blah, blah, whatever.
(09:57):
And I just respectfully said,hey, you know the kind of life
that he lives, and he wasprobably 27 at the time.
And I said, hey, you know thekind of life that he lives, and
he was probably 27 at the time.
And I said, do you realize whathe goes through?
And he doesn't care becausehe's honored to proclaim Christ.
So when we see him out there inpublic, knowing that there's
limited security, knowing thatthere have been threats, knowing
that there have beensuggestions to pull back and not
(10:18):
do some of these big outings,he says I have to, this is what
God has called me to do.
So he knew what he was doing,ron.
And so I think the response nowis because people saw someone
who was martyred for their faith.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
And I was listening to something yesterday I think
it was Jonathan Kahn was sayinghad a video out and said that
probably 10 times the peoplethat have never heard of Charlie
Kirk have watched his videossince then.
Charlie Kirk is bigger now andmore popular than he was when he
was alive.
(10:56):
And I was drawn yesterdaySomething just told me to look
in the book of Acts and I comeacross Stephen and I'm thinking
about Stephen, the first martyrin the Bible, and they stoned
him because of his language andhis speech.
They hated what he was saying.
And then it says he looked upand proclaimed, he saw Jesus and
(11:17):
the Holy Spirit, and then theywent nuts and then they killed
him and I'm thinking the HolySpirit.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
And then they went nuts and then they, they killed
him and I'm thinking, my God,this is a template of Charlie
Kirk.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, his lifeembodied that charge You're
right, I mean, and I and you'reso right in looking at the life
of Stephen.
I know it's hard for people whoare listening, ron, who we've
been blessed to be in this greatcountry of ours and to be able
to have all these Bibles, andwhere you and I met to have a
massive, you know, conference,where people that are in this
(11:47):
world of sharing the gospelthrough the airwaves, you know
we can come together in abeautiful hotel and share and
tell stories and support oneanother.
But there's parts of the worldwhere they don't have that.
And so this idea to think inAmerica that someone was killed
for their faith.
(12:07):
You know, we try to look for adifferent explanation, but
didn't the Bible say in 2Timothy 3, verse 12, this is
indeed all who desire to live agodly life in Christ Jesus will
be persecuted.
And so, as he was beingpersecuted, as I mentioned
earlier in his own private life,you know he could have easily
said you know what this isn'tfor me.
This is why you'll never seethe face of their children,
because they shunned them, theyhid their face because they knew
there are evil, despicablepeople out there who want to try
(12:28):
to go after his family, who'sprotecting his kids at all costs
.
But you know what?
There was a charge that heboldly proclaimed the word of
God according to 2 Timothy, 4,verse 2, preach the word be
ready in season and out ofseason, and that's what Charlie
did.
4, verse 2, preach the word beready in season and out of
season, and that's what Charliedid.
He was, he was preparinghimself, and now nobody knows
when the when the day will comewhen any of us go be with the
(12:53):
Lord.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
But he was ready.
He was ready, yeah, he wasready.
And the day that it happened,and really for the next few days
, there was a shift or somethingin me.
I mean I'm a Jesus freak, Imean I am a wild, crazy guy with
Jesus.
But something happened that dayand I told myself there really
is a target on us Christians.
There really is, as you justsaid, evil, evil times 10 out
(13:17):
there and I've had a boldnessand had to come from the Holy
Spirit because I always thoughtI was bold.
But there's something that'schanging now in my ministry.
I don't really know what it is,but it is that we really this
walk we have with Christ, we notonly have to take it serious
for our life, but those aroundus, because there are people
(13:37):
right now I've talked to Jasonthat they're afraid, they don't
know what to do.
They're kind of saying, well, Idon't know if I want to go out
there.
What would you tell the peopleout there listening that still
are grieving and mourning overCharlie and they just don't know
how they're going to go on.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Well one.
As Christians, we have aneternal perspective.
So as they hated Christ, theysaid they will hate us.
So we are sojourners.
This isn't our comfortable lifethat we are just to put all of
our eggs into one basket.
So if anybody, I would just say, gently, graciously, I myself
have had to learn and repentthroughout my life.
I know, ron, you as well assomeone who is a Jesus freak
(14:16):
like me.
We love our savior Jesus, whodied for us.
Romans 5.10 says it's throughthe life of Christ that we are
saved, and it's no longer we wholive, but it's Christ who lives
in us.
Galatians 2.20,.
As Paul said, because he firstloved us, right.
And so what I would say forChristians, like when something
like this happens, we are tomourn, we are to be sad, we are
(14:36):
to pray for justice, we are topray for Erica, we are to as one
member suffers in the body, weall suffer.
But as we look at our lives,and when you do have a
representation of someone andthe fact that he was 31, so
young, and yet what he did, thatis one thing is that's what the
Holy Spirit can do to a lifethat's consecrated before him.
(14:59):
So one thing you can learn fromsomebody like that who didn't
go to college, didn't go toseminary, right, and you're
hearing pastors like Jack Hibbsand Frank Turek, one of our
leading apologists, who's 64years old.
He says on his podcast in honorof his dear friend says Charlie
was smarter than me.
You know, he's half his age,but he acknowledged.
I love that.
(15:20):
There's this winsomeness, thathe had this humility but this
deep intellect.
So I would say, be convicted.
Yes, as we mourn and say, whatcan I learn from a man who lived
out his life at such a youngage but he accomplished so much
in Christ?
Two, I would encourage peopleas we do mourn, as we look
within and we confess some ofthese sins.
Remember the hope, though, thatwe have is in that eternal
(15:43):
perspective, and it goes back to2 Timothy 4, verse 8.
Remember, it says that there'slaid up for me a crown of
righteousness, and every singleone of us who live for Christ
here on earth, when we do die,when our time is up, whether
we're raptured or we die beforethe rapture, when we're taken up
, that we will receive thatcrown of righteousness.
And one thing that brought me totears just to encourage people,
(16:07):
is when you have people that werespect and admire, like Jack
Hibbs, the pastor there inCalvary, california, who was
such a dear friend to Charlieand they did so many amazing
ministry things together.
In his sermon that night couldyou imagine this?
He goes way back with Charlieand, you know, before Charlie
really even started TPUSA, theysaw this anointing in this young
(16:33):
guy who was 18 years old andthey clapped and they said well
done, good and faithful servant,and I think that that's that's
what I think, what we, you know.
So, as we shed tears and stuff,but you also kind of get that
shivers and the fear of God inus and also rejoicing when we
see one of our own, even thoughhe took a bullet, for Christ
he's with the Lord, he is, and Idon't want us to be discouraged
(16:54):
.
I don't want us to getdiscouraged.
I want us to be encouraged.
I don't want us to feeldefeated.
I want us to use this and feeltriumphed and known and knowing
that that, like you said, listen, let's put it in perspective
too.
This is what's powerful.
They had an estimated of overapproximately, from high school
to college, almost 4,000chapters two days after his
(17:14):
assassination 35,000 requestsfor new chapter, 35,000.
Wow, okay, yeah, so, as Ericasaid, you thought you silenced
him.
Just wait and see what's goingto happen.
And the mission now that we allhave so anybody listening is
what Charlie was known to say,and Frank is repeating it and I
heard it loud and clear.
(17:34):
And so, in our ministry, in allwhatever partnerships to
advance God's kingdom, we workfor him.
He is our Lord and our master.
We want to do the work that Godhas called us to do so we can
crowd heaven, yep crowd heaven,yep, crowd heaven.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I love that.
When I heard him say that andlast week I've made a comment
that well, charlie is not withthe Lord, but there's a million
Charlie Kirks that were justborn His voice, his message is
going to be louder and, like Isaid, something that happened
that in me and I've talked tosome people that you know we
want to share Jesus with people.
(18:08):
Now we want to go out there andbe bold, like Charlie was, and
and talk with people and engagein people, not being mean or
nasty, but the gift he had tohave a conversation.
People say, oh, he just spoke alot of hate.
I said, well, I'll tell youwhat.
If you go find a video and youhave hate in there, bring it to
me, charlie talking hate andI'll give you $100.
(18:31):
But I won't be giving youanything because he did not, he
did not speak that.
Now, to shift just a little bitbecause of time, you live in
Charlotte, north Carolina.
Something horrific.
It just shuddered when I sawthis on the news a few weeks ago
the young lady from Ukrainewhen you saw that that's not a
(18:51):
religious thing, but that's justanother sort of evil that's in
this world.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Well, yeah, and after that you have the shootings you
know, at a Catholic school upin Minnesota.
And you're seeing our mostprecious, and that's not the
first time.
But to think about young kidsthe first day of school, just
like Charlie Kirk, that was hisfirst event on campus when
school season just started.
And you know, you see a younggirl from Ukraine.
(19:18):
She gets off, she's in the CATStrain which, by the way, for
all your listeners to know, I'vebeen on that many times going
up to Uptown with my family.
My neighbor actually works forthem and he even told me after
the brutal murder arena was thatthey have had major complaints.
We have known.
I remember seeing the newswhere they removed.
(19:40):
When we talk about violence wehave to understand about the
leadership you know.
So as we shift into thepolitical spectrum, in this case
by city council, that has nowgotten national news, and good,
because now all their names aregoing out there, ron.
And the thing is, is what theydid was they said that's too
much money to have professional,full-time police officers
protecting our publictransportation.
(20:02):
So what we're going to do iswe're going to remove those
individuals, even off-dutyofficers, who are making an
extra buck but are professionaland have live ammunition.
We're going to put part-timesecurity guards who the vast
majority of the time, don't evencheck people's stubs.
So this is what we have is wehave people who are coming and
going, getting on and off theCATS train without having a
(20:26):
ticket.
They're homeless people.
Homeless people that just rideit when it's hot for AC, when
it's cold for the heating system, and nobody cares to check, to
screen, to protect people.
So when you see this occur, youthink yeah, it was bound to
happen eventually.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
You know, jason, you obviously have so much wisdom
and I appreciate your heart andyou're taking time to visit with
my listeners Now.
I would like you to just givehope to those that are listening
right now.
Anything you feel the Lord isputting on your heart, please
share that.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Well, juan, I appreciate you.
Ron, thank you for being anexample in your heart to get the
word out and in using it withwith such, I think, grace and
joy.
And that's one thing I wouldjust say to encourage people.
I know we're living in hardtimes, but the Lord is with us,
he is faithful, he will notabandon us.
You know, he was in us asgreater than he's in the world.
And the last three things, Ithink that, yeah, if I may, and
(21:23):
I appreciate you giving thisopportunity just to give
encouragement pastorally.
Number one is if you knowChrist as your Lord and Savior,
don't privatize it.
If you need to be more publicwith your faith, I pray that you
do it.
Secondly, confront the evilthat is in your area, in your
town, your community, family,church, whatever.
(21:45):
And like we learned from ourdear friend Charlie Kirk and
there was a saying that I wasactually putting in my article
and I'd like to share with youguys, because it's about calling
out unrighteous behavior whenhe was sitting doing an
interview, charlie Kirk wasasked about you know, why do you
do what you do?
You know, and why are you sopublic about your faith?
And he said my faith compels meto fight corruption in
(22:07):
government and culture, just asprophets like john the baptist
did.
Wow.
So here you have.
Here you have ron.
Here you have a man wholiterally read the scriptures,
believed in a literal john thebaptist, who was the herald who
came to proclaim the way of thelord right, his cousin.
That was prophesied going backto Isaiah 40.
And here you have this youngman, charlie Kirk.
(22:28):
He reads that he sees God useJohn the Baptist.
He calls out corruption in thegovernment and power.
He's arrested, he's imprisonedand he's eventually beheaded.
And that's what Charlie andit's almost prophetic Notice a
year before he's assassinated.
They're asked why he's sopublic about his faith and he
says because my faith compels meand I see people like John the
(22:49):
Baptist do it.
Wow, isn't that incredible?
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yeah, yeah.
I always say when you get sofull of Jesus, it has no choice
but to come out.
You start talking.
It bubbles out of your pores.
There's a Roman about you.
If people know there'ssomething different, and that's
the opening to tell them aboutour loving Savior and that he
does have a plan.
And I mentioned last week that,listen, god was not asleep.
(23:13):
He knew what was happening, butthe story's not over.
Let's look at this in a yearand see what has happened.
How is I believe his ministryis going to absolutely explode.
As a matter of fact, I have wentto the website.
When I'm not doing podcast, I'ma promoter, I do events and I
have signed up to be a part ofthe Turning Point USA and want
(23:36):
to host some events here on theGulf Coast.
I want to get involved.
I want to see, I see theseyoung people so hungry for
something and very well could bethe beginning of a revival in
this nation that we have neverseen, birthed on the backs of
young high school and collegekids that are just ready to let
(23:57):
loose, and let God loosen thiscountry.
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah, no, I think you're onto something.
I think, as we see persecutionon the rise, you see revival.
Amen, that's the.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Jason, if people want to find out more about your
ministry and how to get in touchwith you, where do they go?
Speaker 3 (24:16):

videos, podcasts that I do, allthe books that I've written,
articles that we do with theChristian Post that we also put

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Well, one last thing.
Would you please close this outin prayer.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Amen, let's do it.
Father, we do.
Thank you for the life ofCharlie, lord.
We know that he's in yourloving arms.
And you say in your word, lord,that if they hated you, they
will hate us, and so we shouldnot be shocked or ashamed, lord,
because we know you.
But we're grateful and, lord,we continue to pray for Ron, for
all the people who arelistening right now, no matter
(25:01):
what's going on in their life.
You know even the number ofhair on their head.
You are so detailed about usbecause you love us and we're
made in your image.
And so, father, I pray that oneday we can say that we fought
the good fight, fight of faith,that we finished the race, that
we've kept the faith, that weknow that Charlie did.
And so I pray that we'llcontinue to not just inspire and
motivate, but, god, as Ron said, lord, that a revival will come
(25:23):
, that the power of your HolySpirit will fall upon people in
politics, in government, inhealth, in education, in family,
all across this nation and allacross all nations around the
world.
That is held in your hand.
And, father, we pray, lord, ifthere's any sin that has
hindered us, that has caused usto be ashamed of our faith or
(25:46):
scared.
Lord, we know there are peoplewho are afraid and they've seen
some tragedy.
And, god, we just pray that youwould embolden them.
We pray that you would givethem the comfort as you can only
give as your good shepherd, andwe pray this in Jesus' name,
amen.
