In this episode of the Spe Salvi Institute podcast, we reflect on the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk and what it reveals about our society and culture. Beyond the headlines, we explore the deeper questions: What does this moment say about the state of public life, political polarization, and the fragility of civil discourse?

Join us as we examine the spiritual, cultural, and philosophical implications of this event, and consider how the Christian humanist tradition might help illuminate a path toward renewal and hope in a time of division
