1018: What Does Charlie Kirk’s Murder Mean for America's Future?

Is America tearing itself apart because we’ve forgotten how to see each other as human beings? In this episode, we dig into one of the toughest questions facing our country today: how do we push back against the rising tide of political hate, cultural division, and government abuse—and actually start winning real battles for liberty and human dignity? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS We kick things off by reflecting on the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk and the disturbing reactions it provoked online. Why are so many people celebrating violence against those they disagree with? And what does this say about the broken state of our politics? Spike Cohen pulls no punches as he unpacks the deeper cultural rot driving this divide. But this isn’t just another doom-and-gloom conversation. Spike shares his personal journey of faith—how embracing Christ has transformed the way he approaches activism, persuasion, and even political conflict. Instead of fighting fire with fire, he’s building a movement rooted in reconciliation, respect, and actually treating people like people. That movement—You Are the Power—isn’t just about lofty ideals. It’s winning. From keeping families together when CPS tries to rip them apart, to exposing corrupt officials, to passing actual laws that protect the innocent, Spike and his team are showing how liberty-minded activists can make a real difference. You’ll hear powerful stories of families saved and victories that prove change is possible. If you’ve ever felt hopeless about the direction of our country, this conversation will give you more than perspective—it will give you a blueprint. Liberty doesn’t have to mean endless losing. It means rolling up our sleeves, working locally, and standing up for the values that make us truly free.
