This Generation’s Turning Point | Remembering Charlie Kirk with Greg and Jonathan Laurie

About this sermon

In this deeply moving episode of The Greg Laurie Show, Pastor Greg and his son Jonathan reflect on the life and tragic passing of Charlie Kirk. More than just a political figure, Charlie was a bold and unapologetic follower of Jesus whose faith shaped every part of his message and mission. Together, Greg and Jonathan unpack the parallels between Charlie and biblical figures like Stephen—the first Christian martyr—highlighting how courage in the face of opposition can inspire the next generation. They share personal stories of shock, grief, and hope—including how young believers are already rising up to pick up the baton Charlie left behind. From the pain of unanswered questions to the call for bold evangelism, this episode is both a tribute and a challenge: to stand firm in truth, invite others to know Christ, and believe that God can bring revival even from tragedy. ----- Want more from Greg Laurie?
