The Charlie Kirk Show - Charlie's Message to Parents and Students on Christian Education

00:00:03.000 My name is Charlie Kirk.

00:00:05.000 I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.

00:00:11.000 My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.

00:00:14.000 If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.

00:00:19.000 But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful.

00:00:24.000 College is a scam, everybody.

00:00:26.000 You got to stop sending your kids to college.

00:00:27.000 You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.

00:00:31.000 Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter.

00:00:33.000 Go start a Turning Point USA high school chapter.

00:00:35.000 Go find out how your church can get involved.

00:00:37.000 Sign up and become an activist.

00:00:39.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.

00:00:41.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life.

00:00:43.000 And I encourage you to do the same.

00:00:45.000 Here I am.

00:00:46.000 Lord, use me.

00:00:48.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:49.000 Here we go.

00:00:56.000 The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.

00:01:09.000 I am so excited to introduce, I know you guys are all here for our big guest speaker, but you spend two minutes with this man.

00:01:18.000 He loves God and he loves people.

00:01:20.000 He loves his wife, he loves his children, and he recognizes that doing nothing just doesn't feel right.

00:01:27.000 He's obviously the president and founder of Turning Point USA.

00:01:30.000 Have you heard of it?

00:01:31.000 Yeah.

00:01:34.000 But God isn't done writing the story with the days of his life.

00:01:38.000 And so please help me welcome a man who's a truth teller, a lover of his family and people, and a man after God's own heart, Charlie Kirk.

00:01:56.000 Hello, everybody.

00:01:57.000 Great to see you.

00:01:57.000 Thank you for that.

00:01:59.000 First of all, how great was that musical performance?

00:02:01.000 That was just amazing, wasn't it?

00:02:04.000 So first, I want to repeat something I said at the pre-event, which is this is such an amazing country we live in.

00:02:12.000 And only in America could you come to rural Colorado because somebody heard from God that she wanted to spread Jesus in Rwanda and that a bunch of people will show up to go give money for that to go spread the gospel on the other side of the world.

00:02:30.000 It's just amazing.

00:02:31.000 When you think about that, it's that the, I mean, like, are the Germans doing that? 1.00

00:02:37.000 Like, probably not.

00:02:38.000 Like, the Singaporeans, there's something special about this country and special about an idea that we want to make the world a better place.

00:02:47.000 And fundamentally, Susan, what you've done here is having an amazing impact.

00:02:52.000 And it's more than just, okay, we're going to go spend money overseas, which honestly doesn't really work long term, to be perfectly honest.

00:02:58.000 It just doesn't.

00:02:59.000 What does work is educating thousands of people on fundamental truths and giving them skills?

00:03:06.000 And then also the most important thing to spread the gospel to a part of the world that desperately needs it.

00:03:11.000 And so, Susan, you're a firecracker and you're amazing.

00:03:14.000 So God bless you for your amazing work.

00:03:16.000 And truly, it's remarkable.

00:03:20.000 So I'm just going to talk a little bit about Christian education and how critically important it is.

00:03:26.000 And I was listening to that music and I was thinking to myself, you saw the joy and you saw the spirit.

00:03:32.000 If you picked eight random kids in the public schools of Denver and put them up against those young kids, and I have no idea their background, I know nothing.

00:03:45.000 I'm just, you know, just implying that just on the joy of their presentation, that despite probably coming from far less than from Cherry Creek, like a lot less, that there's something that those kids don't.

00:03:58.000 And that's because, honestly, they have an abundance of riches in the spiritual domain.

00:04:02.000 It doesn't matter that they come home to a mansion or to a hut.

00:04:05.000 It does matter in the immediate, but there's something fundamentally missing in American education.

00:04:10.000 And there's a lot of schools that are changing it.

00:04:12.000 I spoke at one recently that's doing a great job here in the Colorado, Denver area.

00:04:16.000 And we have missed the plot on what education is supposed to be.

00:04:20.000 And we're now seeing the multiple decades of failure of what that actually means.

00:04:25.000 And what Hope Haven is doing is actually fixing it on the other side of the world because these are going to become world leaders out of this country and out of the Central Africa.

00:04:36.000 And there's so much untapped potential in Africa, like unbelievable untapped potential in Africa, that I think we're all going to marvel in the next 100 years what actually comes out of Africa in more ways than one. 0.89

00:04:45.000 But let's talk about education.

00:04:47.000 And so fundamentally, we as Christians should understand that the best investment that we can make is to teach a child of the ways that they will go and they will not depart.

00:05:00.000 Pretty obvious, pretty simple.

00:05:02.000 And yet, if we are honest with ourselves, how many times do we as Christians send our kids to public education and just hope the best is going to happen?

00:05:11.000 Oh, they're going to go to Sunday school.

00:05:12.000 They'll be just fine.

00:05:14.000 Understand that the temptations and the menace of the world is going to do everything they possibly can to keep that kid away from the path of a proper biblical education.

00:05:26.000 And a proper biblical education is the greatest inheritance that you can possibly give a kid.

00:05:32.000 Bigger than paying for even college, bigger than a yacht, bigger than a trust fund.

00:05:38.000 To have a kid know the Lord and know why he or she should exist in this world is the greatest possible thing that we can give.

00:05:47.000 And unfortunately, the modern education system is against all the odds of the Bible.

00:05:52.000 So, I mean, all the truth claims of the Bible.

00:05:54.000 We don't have to go.

00:05:55.000 I was just talking to my very good friend Polly here about the first couple books of Genesis, and she was talking about the profundity of what God established in order.

00:06:04.000 And in the West here in especially, and I, boy, I hope this doesn't continue to spread because we have a tendency in America to spread our good ideas and our bad ideas.

00:06:16.000 And I really hope these bad ideas don't spread.

00:06:18.000 We are living in a moment of cultural chaos.

00:06:21.000 It's because we've deviated away from every truth claim that God established in just the first couple books of Genesis.

00:06:27.000 And you think about it, God created what?

00:06:30.000 He created man and woman.

00:06:33.000 He created day and night, but he also created separation.

00:06:37.000 He created distinction.

00:06:39.000 Our God is a God of order.

00:06:41.000 And the current modern education system is a force of chaos.

00:06:45.000 It's a force of confusion away from God's perfect and established order.

00:06:49.000 Let's just go through some of those distinctions.

00:06:52.000 The distinction between God and man.

00:06:54.000 Pretty important.

00:06:56.000 Everyone here tonight probably believes that there is a God and you are not him.

00:07:00.000 Pretty important, right?

00:07:02.000 If you believe those two things, you're a much better citizen and you're not a threat to your fellow man.

00:07:09.000 But if you believe that there is a no God or if there was a God, it would be him, you're a very dangerous person in more ways than one.

00:07:15.000 That type of person tries to unnecessarily lock down schools for no good reason whatsoever for two straight years, despite the fact that kids are killing themselves and masking them unnecessarily and closing down schools all in the name of science.

00:07:28.000 Because that is a godlike tendency.

00:07:30.000 The distinction between what is good and evil.

00:07:32.000 It says in the scriptures, woe to those who would call good evil and evil good.

00:07:38.000 My goodness, do we live in a time where that is plaguing our society right now?

00:07:42.000 Where they are calling good and calling good evil and evil good.

00:07:45.000 And by what definition do you mean it is good?

00:07:48.000 Now, as you know, I visit college campuses, so you don't have to.

00:07:52.000 And amazingly, I would probably have much more in common, and this is what's so beautiful about Christianity, and it's not about a tribe, it's not about a race, it's not about any of that.

00:08:04.000 I'll have more in common with a 16-year-old at Hope Haven than a 16-year-old in a public school in Denver.

00:08:12.000 I want you to think about it, halfway around the world, completely different background, because it's the worldview that matters.

00:08:18.000 And it's by what standard do you consider to be something good?

00:08:21.000 One of the most important questions you can imagine.

00:08:23.000 When I go to these college campuses, they'll say, oh, it's just your opinion of what is good.

00:08:28.000 Or, there is no absolute truth.

00:08:30.000 There is no absolute standard by which we measure good and evil.

00:08:35.000 Well, do you believe that absolutely?

00:08:37.000 Of course, everyone has a truth claim at some core.

00:08:39.000 And we as Christians fundamentally believe, no, there of course is absolute truth.

00:08:43.000 There's absolute truth of you shall not murder, you shall have no other gods before me.

00:08:47.000 And you have to wonder how many kids in America and even Christian education can recite the Ten Commandments when they're pressed.

00:08:53.000 I bet the kids at Hope Haven absolutely can.

00:08:57.000 We're honored to be partnering with Alan Jackson Ministries.

00:08:59.000 And today, I want to point you to their podcast.

00:09:02.000 It's called Culture in Christianity, the Allen Jackson Podcast.

00:09:06.000 What makes it unique is Pastor Allen's biblical perspective.

00:09:09.000 He takes the truth from the Bible and applies it to issues we're facing today: gender confusion, abortion, immigration, Doge, Trump in the White House, issues in the church.

00:09:18.000 He doesn't just discuss the problems.

00:09:20.000 In every episode, he gives practical things we can do to make a difference.

00:09:23.000 His guests have incredible expertise and powerful testimonies.

00:09:27.000 They've been great friends.

00:09:28.000 And now you can hear from Charlie in his own words.

00:09:30.000 Each episode will make you recognize the power of your faith and how God can use your life to impact our world today.

00:09:37.000 The Culture and Christianity podcast is informative and encouraging.

00:09:40.000 You could find it on YouTube, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

00:09:44.000 Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss any episodes.

00:09:46.000 Alan Jackson Ministries is working hard to bring biblical truth back into our culture.

00:09:51.000 You can find out more about Pastor Allen and the ministry at alanjackson.com forward slash Charlie.

00:09:59.000 The distinctions in the first couple books of Genesis, then separation between man and nature.

00:10:04.000 It's a very important one.

00:10:06.000 And this is what's so important about spreading Christianity to Africa and to other countries and not allowing them to go back to pagan roots.

00:10:13.000 It's very, very important because the pre-ancestral old tribal religions that predated Christianity, you would worship the nature.

00:10:20.000 You would worship the river.

00:10:21.000 You would worship the sun.

00:10:23.000 You would have kind of like a witch doctor that would come in and be involved in some very occult dark practices.

00:10:29.000 What is the problem with worshiping the earth?

00:10:32.000 When you start, well, beyond the obvious immediate problems, the moral issue is, well, what moral standard does the river give you?

00:10:41.000 Do you get what is right or wrong when you worship the tree?

00:10:44.000 If you have many gods, you have many moralities, definitionally.

00:10:48.000 This is how Christianity changed the world. 0.97

00:10:51.000 Christianity changed the world because it had an immediate truth claim that there is one God, there is a better way to live, and we all fall short of the glory of God. 0.93

00:11:00.000 And only through his Son, Christ Jesus, are we able to have life eternal.

00:11:04.000 And that there applies to all people in every culture, in every background.

00:11:09.000 And you go through those other couple, the first other couple truth claims of the book of Genesis.

00:11:14.000 One of my favorites, which is what is really interesting because you see these videos, like for example, in Matt Welch's movie, What is a Woman?

00:11:22.000 He went into parts of Africa and would ask them, like, do you have this trans thing?

00:11:27.000 And they'd like, look at him, like, what are you talking about?

00:11:30.000 It's like, only in a Western secular mindset could you believe that men give birth, right?

00:11:35.000 Like, only is that possible.

00:11:37.000 And you have to kind of look at it from a Christian perspective.

00:11:40.000 God created man and woman differently and distinctly, and those distinctions actually keep us free.

00:11:49.000 Everybody, the failure for us to embrace Christian education in our own country shows what we see what's happening in front of us every single day.

00:11:57.000 And that's what's so encouraging is to actually bring to a country that is very open to Christianity the idea of worshiping God and following Him in all of our commands.

00:12:09.000 And then the question, of course, then is begged: What are we Christians supposed to do in our local community?

00:12:14.000 What are we supposed to do with those around us?

00:12:16.000 Well, Christ our Lord calls us to be salt and light.

00:12:19.000 He calls us to change the environment that we come in contact with.

00:12:24.000 Sudan is doing that.

00:12:25.000 She's changing Rwanda. 1.00

00:12:27.000 That's a pretty big deal.

00:12:28.000 All of you supporting this is, and that's like a big deal.

00:12:33.000 And we, as Christians, are not called just to have the truth and be like, well, that's nice.

00:12:37.000 I'm not going to share it with other people.

00:12:39.000 We're called to build more schools, to change our city councils, to flip our school boards, to build better marriages, to make the community more Christ-like, not just have our own little cloistered, you know, club and say, well, you know, Jesus is coming next Thursday, and I'm going to get raptured up pretty soon.

00:12:56.000 So none of this actually matters.

00:12:58.000 No, we're supposed to go forward and advance our faith into the most difficult circumstances imaginable.

00:13:05.000 My mission field, it's not Rwanda, it's University Rutgers.

00:13:08.000 So it's a little different.

00:13:10.000 Right?

00:13:11.000 The point being is we must find the place where we're not always welcome, we're not always celebrated, where it might be a little difficult, it might be a little treacherous, and to go spread the word of God and to spread his truths.

00:13:21.000 And let me just reiterate this: is that when you fail to have Christian education, this is probably the secondary biggest failing of America. 0.71

00:13:30.000 You might not even believe in Jesus Christ.

00:13:33.000 You might not even believe in God.

00:13:34.000 But if you are honest, you have to believe that when a population fails to believe in God, bad things start to happen.

00:13:43.000 That is, even an honest atheist should agree with that.

00:13:47.000 And it is the necessity of believing in God.

00:13:51.000 You see, when a civilization no longer has agreed-upon truth claims and does not look at each other as people made in a mago day or made in the image of God, horrendous actions start to occur.

00:14:04.000 And not only that, people are going to find other counterfeit religions to try and fill themselves with, to try and fill their world with. 0.99

00:14:13.000 And this is where I hear far too often well-meaning Christian parents will say, Well, I'm a Christian.

00:14:19.000 Whatever my kid ends up believing is just fine, which drives me nuts when I hear it's like, oh, really?

00:14:23.000 Okay, Satanism is great.

00:14:24.000 Yeah, sure.

00:14:27.000 But more fundamentally, they say, they don't really believe in anything.

00:14:31.000 They're not religious.

00:14:32.000 Wrong, there's no such thing.

00:14:34.000 We all worship something.

00:14:36.000 Everybody here worships something.

00:14:38.000 There is no such thing as a secular person.

00:14:40.000 Worship literally means it comes from the old English worth ship, to worth up, to lift up, the worthy of worship, that of which we elevate.

00:14:48.000 You think to yourself, well, you know, I don't worship God, but, you know, I'm just kind of going through my life.

00:14:53.000 Well, then you're probably either worshiping yourself, you're worshiping, you could be worshiping the environment or the planet, you could be worshiping your status, you could be worshiping power.

00:15:01.000 That is why God says in the first of the Ten Commandments, you shall have no other gods before me.

00:15:07.000 And what is the great evidence of this?

00:15:09.000 When God is no longer part of the equation, one of my favorite stories of the Bible, what happens when all of a sudden God gets removed from the Bible?

00:15:16.000 Our natural inclination is to go back to tribal pagan worship. 0.96

00:15:21.000 I want you to think of the context of what happens right around Exodus 19:20 and 21.

00:15:25.000 So God's chosen people are delivered out of Egypt, and they see the most miraculous things you can imagine.

00:15:30.000 The Nile turns to blood, there's locusts, Pharaoh gets completely punked, right?

00:15:36.000 It's the parting of the Red Sea.

00:15:38.000 It's the most amazing stuff that you could possibly comprehend.

00:15:43.000 Manna comes down from heaven.

00:15:45.000 There's a pillar of fire at night.

00:15:47.000 Quail gets blown off course.

00:15:48.000 They see miracle after miracle after miracle after miracle.

00:15:52.000 So Moses says, all right, you complaining, unruly bunch.

00:15:56.000 By the way, this is how I know the Bible is true.

00:15:57.000 No book in the history of ancient civilization has ever depicted themselves as negatively as the Hebrews depict themselves in the Old Testament. 0.55

00:16:07.000 It's how you know the Bible must be true. 0.71

00:16:09.000 We complain and we murder and we commit adultery. 0.98

00:16:11.000 We have a major orgy. 0.98

00:16:12.000 Besides that, you know, who would do that? 0.98

00:16:14.000 Must be true.

00:16:15.000 You don't make stuff up like that.

00:16:17.000 You know, in this chapter, we're really going to talk about how, you know, we all dishonored each other.

00:16:21.000 Anyway, so Moses says to the complaining Hebrews, guys, God's giving me a little transmission. 0.91

00:16:21.000 Of course not. 0.91

00:16:28.000 I'm going to go up to this Mount Sinai.

00:16:30.000 Try not to catastrophically mess this up.

00:16:35.000 Gonna be a little while.

00:16:37.000 God has a message for me.

00:16:38.000 Aaron, you're in charge.

00:16:40.000 Goes up to Mount Sinai.

00:16:42.000 So Aaron, not exactly being the most, let's say, convicted person, they get a little unruly.

00:16:49.000 And what do they do?

00:16:50.000 So Moses is getting the most important transmission of God morally that we have since basically the call of Abraham, right?

00:16:57.000 40 days and 40 nights.

00:16:59.000 Moses comes back down with both tablets.

00:17:02.000 Guys, I got it.

00:17:04.000 Great news, there's 10.

00:17:06.000 Bad news, adultery stays.

00:17:07.000 No, I'm kidding.

00:17:08.000 That's not in there.

00:17:08.000 So that's totally heretical.

00:17:10.000 That's not true.

00:17:11.000 Anyway, so he comes down, and what Aaron is throwing a rave party in front of the golden calf and literally is having an orgy, not an exaggeration, right?

00:17:24.000 And so he's like, I left you for 40 days and 40 nights, and what do you revert to?

00:17:29.000 And then probably my favorite, as far as like humorous line of the entire Bible, the Bible is very funny at times if you actually understand the context.

00:17:37.000 And Aaron's like, listen, here's my excuse, okay?

00:17:42.000 Yeah, I know we took all the gold that we actually were given by God in Egypt, and I threw it in the fire, and out came a golden calf. 0.96

00:17:50.000 And so, you think about it, it's like the dumbest excuse ever. 0.75

00:17:54.000 I hate when that happens, right? 0.96

00:17:55.000 I just throw gold, and pow, a golden calf pops out.

00:17:58.000 It's like, that's your excuse.

00:17:59.000 Moses is so mad, he literally throws the tablets down.

00:18:03.000 Think about it.

00:18:04.000 God gave him this transmission, this uploaded moral app, if you will.

00:18:10.000 And Moses is like, he just gets it from the divine and he just throws it to the ground because he was so let down, so aghast at what we revert back to.

00:18:21.000 We're honored to be partnering with Alan Jackson Ministries.

00:18:24.000 And today, I want to point you to their podcast.

00:18:26.000 It's called Culture in Christianity, the Alan Jackson Podcast.

00:18:30.000 What makes it unique is Pastor Allen's biblical perspective.

00:18:33.000 He takes the truth from the Bible and applies it to issues we're facing today.

00:18:37.000 Gender confusion, abortion, immigration, Doge, Trump in the White House, issues in the church.

00:18:42.000 He doesn't just discuss the problems.

00:18:44.000 In every episode, he gives practical things we can do to make a difference.

00:18:48.000 His guests have incredible expertise and powerful testimonies.

00:18:51.000 They've been great friends.

00:18:52.000 And now you can hear from Charlie in his own words.

00:18:54.000 Each episode will make you recognize the power of your faith and how God can use your life to impact our world today.

00:19:10.000 Alan Jackson Ministries is working hard to bring biblical truth back into our culture.

00:19:15.000 You can find out more about Pastor Allen and the ministry at alanjackson.com forward slash Charlie.

00:19:23.000 Everybody, if we do not have constant moral teaching, we go back to the golden calf, the orgy, and back into the wilderness.

00:19:32.000 That is a fundamental importance of Christian education.

00:19:34.000 And it goes even deeper than that.

00:19:36.000 These are people that saw the greatest miracles imaginable.

00:19:40.000 These are people that have 40 days, they should have just been praising God, and they're like, no, no, no, build us that calf.

00:19:45.000 We need something to worship.

00:19:47.000 And you just, you think back to that, it's not easy to build a society, and it's really hard to develop good people.

00:19:56.000 And that is the question that we as Christians have kind of failed.

00:19:59.000 We build really big churches.

00:20:00.000 We're good at that.

00:20:01.000 We're really good at organizing parking on Sunday.

00:20:04.000 Coffee bars at church, amazing.

00:20:07.000 Right?

00:20:08.000 The TED Talk with the rock concert, we specialize in that as Protestants.

00:20:13.000 What we're not so good at, though, and we can be better, is have we done the hard work to develop good people?

00:20:18.000 By good people, we all fall short of the glory of God, but have we done that hard work?

00:20:23.000 Sort of, not really.

00:20:25.000 Susan is, and you guys are in Rwanda.

00:20:28.000 Because when you develop good people, they actually say, no, actually, we're not going to do that.

00:20:31.000 Because they have a moral code, and it takes time, and it takes effort, and it takes investment.

00:20:36.000 And then you have to repeat it, and then you have to continue it.

00:20:39.000 Because our reversion is to go back to our fleshly state nature of worshiping the sun, the calf, or whatever it is.

00:20:46.000 And so we look at that moral app that Moses was given.

00:20:51.000 And we think to ourselves, you shall know their gods before me.

00:20:54.000 You shall have nor their idols.

00:20:55.000 They violated all those, like before they got out the gate.

00:20:58.000 You shall not take the Lord's name in vain.

00:20:59.000 Different speech for a different time.

00:21:00.000 Super important.

00:21:02.000 But for six days you shall work.

00:21:04.000 The seventh day you shall rest, and you shall keep it holy.

00:21:06.000 I'm actually writing a book about the Sabbath.

00:21:08.000 But the fifth one, which is really important, honor your mother and father, so that you live long in the land of which you are in.

00:21:14.000 And I think to myself, that's another problem with modern education, and I'm sure they're teaching this at Hope Haven.

00:21:20.000 It's the only commandment that involves a promise and your country.

00:21:25.000 So if you want to make America great again, which I do, obviously, God tells you how to make your country great.

00:21:32.000 Have kids honoring their parents.

00:21:34.000 Honor your mother and father so that you may live long in the land in which I am giving you.

00:21:40.000 Have we done a good job of telling kids God told you to honor your parents?

00:21:45.000 We have done a very crummy job of that in our country.

00:21:49.000 We have a society where, oh, my parents don't know.

00:21:51.000 My parents don't get it.

00:21:53.000 Well, because if God did not tell you to do it, that's a very difficult commandment to hold.

00:21:59.000 And I've heard every excuse.

00:22:00.000 Outside of abuse, which I understand, there are people that call into my program, my podcast radio show, and they say, I don't honor my parents because I don't like the way they vote.

00:22:10.000 That's a bad reason, honestly, not to honor your parents.

00:22:13.000 I don't like them because they're annoying.

00:22:15.000 Bad reason.

00:22:16.000 I don't like them because they ask too many questions.

00:22:18.000 Really bad reason.

00:22:19.000 Or the reason I get a lot is I don't like them because they're too involved in my life.

00:22:23.000 Oh, really?

00:22:23.000 They love you too much.

00:22:24.000 That's the reason that you don't honor your parents?

00:22:26.000 And you think about it.

00:22:28.000 When a society cannot honor their earthly father, why would they honor their heavenly father?

00:22:34.000 And then we get to the final, the right side of the Ten Commandments, which we all violate almost every single day.

00:22:40.000 Shall not murder, shall not steal, shall not commit adultery, shall not covet, shall not bear false witness.

00:22:47.000 And you create this kind of moral context.

00:22:50.000 We say almost every day we are violating one of these Ten Commandments, and therefore we need Jesus.

00:22:54.000 In order to teach a savior, a savior-driven theology, you need to actually teach sin.

00:22:59.000 So I don't know where I'm at on time, but I'll kind of close on this.

00:23:01.000 Is that okay, Susan?

00:23:02.000 I could talk for a living so I could talk for quite a while.

00:23:06.000 But the effort you're supporting is righteous.

00:23:10.000 It is moral.

00:23:11.000 It is good.

00:23:11.000 It is true.

00:23:12.000 It is amazing.

00:23:13.000 And the more that we could spread Christianity to the world is honestly the most important thing that we could do.

00:23:20.000 Because Christian societies will be more moral. 0.76

00:23:23.000 They'll be more humane.

00:23:25.000 They will be more just.

00:23:26.000 Because you think about it.

00:23:28.000 If a society is not rooted in actual interpretation of Christianity, who's to say that the mass killing of people is wrong?

00:23:35.000 It's just one opinion after the other.

00:23:37.000 Who's to say that you shouldn't just break yourself into tribalism?

00:23:40.000 And honestly, we've seen these examples replicate over time and time again.

00:23:45.000 And I would say, though, that for the American Christian population, I think we have to be a more forthright.

00:23:53.000 We have to be more willing to share the truth that we know.

00:23:57.000 And not just that, you know, Jesus is Lord, but also that our standard of living and the way that we want to live is the best.

00:24:06.000 People want to live here for a reason.

00:24:08.000 They want to come to America. 1.00

00:24:10.000 And the West was not born out of transgender ideology. 0.70

00:24:15.000 The West was not born out of these radical elements.

00:24:18.000 Those are now symptoms of a much deeper problem that is occurring and manifesting.

00:24:23.000 And so we have to ask ourselves a very honest and serious question, which is, what is the role of a Christian in America?

00:24:30.000 Is it just to kind of sit idly by and hope it gets better?

00:24:33.000 No, I think it's actually much deeper than that and much more important, which is we should try to change everything around us to be more honoring of God.

00:24:42.000 Jesus said all the laws of the prophets hang upon these two commandments.

00:24:46.000 Love the Lord your God with your heart, soul, strength, and mind.

00:24:49.000 Deuteronomy 6, 3 through 5.

00:24:52.000 And then finally, love your neighbor as yourself.

00:24:55.000 Those two things.

00:24:56.000 One is to honor God and one is to honor neighbor.

00:24:59.000 He says to be salt and light, to change the environment of the context of the environment that you come in contact with.

00:25:05.000 And what I see on college campuses is both exhilarating.

00:25:08.000 In fact, we see more young people, especially young men, that are becoming Christian, that are more conservative, that are seeking truth than ever before, which is an amazing thing.

00:25:17.000 Simultaneously, there's a lot of trouble.

00:25:20.000 And the trouble that we see is the outgrowth of a secular worldview.

00:25:25.000 And we have to be honest.

00:25:27.000 There will be one winner in this equation.

00:25:29.000 Either the winner of the equation will be those that love God and love his commands, or those that believe there is no God, and they're going to try to create some other morally contorted worldview.

00:25:40.000 We are all inheritors of a Christian tradition.

00:25:43.000 You can go all through Africa and you know that, right?

00:25:46.000 Countries that are plagued by civil war and strife and division.

00:25:49.000 The Christian tradition is to care for the least of these, to be charitable, individual rights, freedom of speech, private property rights, borders. 0.54

00:25:57.000 These things all come from a Christian worldview.

00:26:00.000 And right now we are teasing this idea of cut flowers, where we're going to cut flowers off from its source and we hope the flowers are going to continue to grow.

00:26:09.000 Well, what is the source?

00:26:10.000 Honestly, the source is back when our country was founded, Christians prioritized education.

00:26:16.000 So much so that every single one of the founding fathers was classically Christian educated, every single one of them.

00:26:23.000 They did not send their kids off to the state and hope that the government would do a good job of educating their kids.

00:26:28.000 The opposite, actually.

00:26:29.000 They would take responsibility for it in their local community and in their state.

00:26:33.000 And so I'm going to keep on spreading this news in the college campuses and the high schools and all the important work that we're doing at Turning Point USA.

00:26:43.000 And we need to have even more of this work to continue, not just in Colorado, but across the country.

00:26:49.000 It is a fight for the nation's youth, and we are all involved in it, whether you realize it or not.

00:26:55.000 You see, the bad guys, whoever we're going to call them, the collectivists or the statists, they've made a 100-year plan to go after our nation's youth, and we as Christians have kind of just shrugged our shoulders.

00:27:05.000 I'm thrilled that we're doing it in Rwanda.

00:27:07.000 We need to do even more of it here in our country.

00:27:10.000 And I'm telling you, there's going to be one kid that comes out of Hope Haven that could end up changing the world.

00:27:15.000 What is the best thing that you can give to somebody in need?

00:27:19.000 It's not just to give them a $5, you know, hand-me-up.

00:27:23.000 It is to give them a biblical-based Christian education that they themselves can become a change maker, that they themselves can become salt and light.

00:27:33.000 And boy, do we need that now more than ever.

00:27:35.000 Thank you guys so much, and God bless you, Susan.

00:27:36.000 Thank you.
