In this episode of the Rabbit Trail Podcast (Ep 73), Pastors Greg and Pastor Brent respond to the tragedy surrounding Charlie Kirk and what it means for faith, prayer, and free speech.
We discuss:
- How Christians can respond with wisdom, compassion, and truth.
- Why free speech matters for believers today.
- The difference between political reactions and a biblical perspective.
- Practical encouragement from Romans 12, Romans 13, and other key Scriptures.
This conversation isn’t about politics for its own sake, it’s about how followers of Jesus can live faithfully when culture collides with conviction.
🙏 Join the conversation and pray with us for Charlie’s family, for our nation, and for the church.
