This is what the Lord says: “‼️Stand at the crossroads and look;
    ‼️ask for the ancient paths,
‼️ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
    🕊️and you will find rest for your souls. Jeremiah 6:16

NEW: Quinn and Jack Hughes say they were up late the night before their game against Canada, talking about how they were going to score a winning goal in overtime. "That's what you dream about. When you're six years old, seven. I'm 24 now, I'm still dreaming that." "This is the best moment in USA Hockey in a long time. And to be a part of this group, to do it with my brother, we've had such a fun couple of weeks... and we're just happy this is the way we finished it." Video: jason_demers / ig.

When you pray for a hedge of protection

@russell_nm This was a fantastic write up. I appreciate the encouragement to approach conversations thinking critically and compassionately.

Renee Nicole Good didn't have to die. But ICE isn't the enemy. I am saddened and angry by what I am seeing unfold in Minnesota. What happened to Renee Nicole Good is terrible. But ICE agents have not gone 'rogue.' usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

Here is the Gospel of Jesus Christ perfectly explained in 2 minutes by Voddie Baucham. Enjoy.

Music. Is. Universal.

They say a man’s life can be measured by his friends. By that measure, my friend Charlie Kirk was loved beyond counting. The crowd at his memorial yesterday showed it. I was honored to speak of him. This spring, the College will confer an honorary degree on Charlie and his beloved wife Erika. He and the movement he began will not be forgotten.

I had the honor and privilege to speak at Charlie Kirk's memorial service. Please continue praying for Erika, her children, and the entire team at TPUSA. #CharlieKirkMemorial

Frank Turek: “Charlie Kirk is in heaven right now not because he was a great husband and father, not because he saved millions of kids out of darkness on college campuses, not because he changed minds and chased votes to save the country, not because he sacrificed himself for His Savior. Charlie Kirk is in heaven because His Savior sacrificed himself for Charlie Kirk.” x.com/CurtisHouck/st…

Absolutely incredible.

“Charlie looked at politics as an on ramp to Jesus. He knew if he could get all of you rowing in the streams of liberty, that you would come to its source, and that’s the Lord.” — Pastor Rob McCoy

Charlie did. He surrounded himself with people who held him accountable, humble, and kind. I am so thankful Frank was one of those men. Listen to this episode if you get the chance and then ground yourself in the truth, goodness, and beauty of the Gospel and those who love Him.

Even worse, they called it Christianity. Those you (the reader) follow, ask yourself, are they just? Do they love & diligently practice kindness (compassion)? & finally, do they walk humbly with God [setting aside any overblown sense of importance or self-righteousness? Micah 6:8

I met Frank this summer at Cross Examined Instructors Academy. He was standing near Charlie the day he was killed. He was a mentor and friend to Charlie and in this episode details and honors the man you saw online and off. Give it a listen and hug your babies and loved ones.

Take note 📝

Take 3 minutes on this Sunday to watch Charlie educate Tucker. Watch Tucker’s facial expressions. He was in awe of Charlie and took it all in🙏🏼🙏🏼

A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today. Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind. Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives. When others were right, he learned from them. When he was right--as he usually was--he was generous. With Charlie, the attitude was never, "I told you so." But: "welcome." Charlie was one of the first people I called when I thought about running for senate in early 2021. I was interested but skeptical there was a pathway. We talked through everything, from the strategy to the fundraising to the grassroots of the movement he knew so well. He introduced me to some of the people who would run my campaign and also to Donald Trump Jr. "Like his dad, he's misunderstood. He's extremely smart, and very much on our wavelength." Don took a call from me because Charlie asked him too. Long before I ever committed (even in my mind) to running, Charlie had me speak to his donors at a TPUSA event. He walked me around the room and introduced me. He gave me honest feedback on my remarks. He had no reason to do this, no expectation that I'd go anywhere. I was polling, at that point, well below 5 percent. He did it because we were friends, and because he was a good man. When I became the VP nominee--something Charlie advocated for both in public and private--Charlie was there for me. I was so glad to be part of the president's team, but candidly surprised by the effect it had on our family. Our kids, especially our oldest, struggled with the attention and the constant presence of the protective detail. I felt this acute sense of guilt, that I had conscripted my kids into this life without getting their permission. And Charlie was constantly calling and texting, checking on our family and offering guidance and prayers. Some of our most successful events were organized not by the campaign, but by TPUSA. He wasn't just a thinker, he was a doer, turning big ideas into bigger events with thousands of activists. And after every event, he would give me a big hug, tell me he was praying for me, and ask me what he could do. "You focus on Wisconsin," he'd tell me. "Arizona is in the bag." And it was. Charlie genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith. We used to argue about Catholicism and Protestantism and who was right about minor doctrinal questions. Because he loved God, he wanted to understand him. Someone else pointed out that Charlie died doing what he loved: discussing ideas. He would go into these hostile crowds and answer their questions. If it was a friendly crowd, and a progressive asked a question to jeers from the audience, he'd encourage his fans to calm down and let everyone speak. He exemplified a foundational virtue of our Republic: the willingness to speak openly and debate ideas. Charlie had an uncanny ability to know when to push the envelope and when to be more conventional. I've seen people attack him for years for being wrong on this or that issue publicly, never realizing that privately he was working to broaden the scope of acceptable debate. He was a great family man. I was talking to President Trump in the Oval Office today, and he said, "I know he was a very good friend of yours." I nodded silently, and President Trump observed that Charlie really loved his family. The president was right. Charlie was so proud of Erika and the two kids. He was so happy to be a father. And he felt such gratitude for having found a woman of God with whom he could build a family. Charlie Kirk was a true friend. The kind of guy you could say something to and know it would always stay with him. I am on more than a few group chats with Charlie and people he introduced me to over the years. We celebrate weddings and babies, bust each other's chops, and mourn the loss of loved ones. We talk about politics and policy and sports and life. These group chats include people at the very highest level of our government. They trusted him, loved him, and knew he'd always have their backs. And because he was a true friend ,you could instinctively trust the people Charlie introduced you to. So much of the success we've had in this administration traces directly to Charlie's ability to organize and convene. He didn't just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government. I was in a meeting in the West Wing when those group chats started lighting up with people telling Charlie they were praying for him. And that's how I learned the news that my friend had been shot. I prayed a lot over the next hour, as first good news and then bad trickled in. God didn't answer those prayers, and that's OK. He had other plans. And now that Charlie is in heaven, I'll ask him to talk to big man directly on behalf of his family, his friends, and the country he loved so dearly. You ran a good race, my friend. We've got it from here.
