... dive more into that.

Okay.

For me, as a wife, my biblical role is to be the helpmate to my husband.

That does not mean I'm less than you, and that does not mean that I am above you, thank goodness.

I love that you lead our home.

I love that you, um, are such a...

You are so intentional with your faith, and you are so intentional with just how you are as a father and a husband.

Don't have sex before you get married.

Because I love talking with people I disagree with.

What have you done for your country?

That's when civil war happens.

It seems to me that nothing will ever be enough for the evil in this world.

Our country has become unrecognizable.

These people have perverted the truth to the point that they motivated the murder of my husband.

They have continuously tried to assassinate the president, and anyone who stands in their way is labeled hateful, racist, fascist, and every other trigger word that is grossly dishonest.

We want the best for our country.

Buckle

Yeah.

And I believe we are living in one of the most, most influential moments where not a moment goes by where you, you have to, you have to siphon it through a biblical lens.

You have to realize is this for cleverness, or is this for careful positioning? This is not a moment for trimming the truth so that it fits more comfortably in the spirit of the age-

Mm-hmm.

And what will it take? It'll take a kind of courage that can only come from a life fully anchored in Christ, and I was blessed to witness in real time TPUSA Faith being born.

It was special because Charlie knew, just like the team, regardless of the different denominations that we have, the different backgrounds, there is one banner that we are all united under, and that is Jesus Christ who is our Lord and Savior [audience applauding] who died for our sins.

That is the banner that we're under.

Here's Erika Kirk, uh, speaking Friday at the event.

Building is hard.

Getting out the vote, talking to real people, spiritual revival, that's actual work.

Amen.

That is actual work.

[audience applauding] And my husband Charlie gave his life for that work

Boo.

We have some work to do.

But seriously, though, I do not want a country to look like the protesters outside who are celebrating the murder of my husband.

I do not want a country like that.

So let's not forget how quickly things can go in the wrong direction.

We just lived through four years of corruption dressed up as compassion.

Four years of that.

[cheering] [applauding]

You can find out more about Pastor Alan and the ministry at alanjackson.com/charlie.

[upbeat jingle] I have never- there's a few questions in here.

"I have never been pursued for the right reasons.

I worry about my future husband's free will.

Will he not choose me? How does God work with women not being pursued, and therefore, His image of Christ in Church? Christian women are waiting, and how about how a lot of us are not being pursued?" I think she's just basically saying why Christian women aren't being pursued.

It's the best.

That's not even within our age range.

Okay, um, "Advice for learning to submit to your man if you naturally take charge and are a leader?" So I think there's a difference between being an alpha female within the sphere that you operate in from, like, work standpoint, friendship circles, all of that, but when it comes to your husband-

Is it for both religions?

Well, it- it is a commandment.

It's part of the Ten Commandments.

But what Charlie's trying to explain in this book is that put the legalism aside.

Look at this from the standpoint of if you don't honor the Sabbath, meaning the day of rest, God is asking you to just press pause and rest and be with him so that he can use you and you can be the man or the woman that he needs you to be in order to make a difference in this world.

Charlie's saying, "Don't get caught up in the legalism of it." Instead, do what you can to say, "Okay, there's- these are a few hours that I can turn my phone off, disconnect, be with the Lord, be with my family and unplug." There are certain things...

Like for us, we would make sure that Friday night, it was family dinner night.

It's the conspiracy theory.

You know, talk a little about that.

Yeah.

So the cool thing about this being a Bible in 365 community is that...

Let's start it from this way.

We've had people who were looking for churches, 'cause their church wasn't open, in small towns in the middle of nowhere.

We're able to see on our backend where that person's located and be able to say, "Okay, so are you looking for a church within this mile of radius?" They say, "Yes." So we're able to then reach out to people within that same community and say, "Hey, would you be able to connect with XYZ to be able to share which churches are open, which ones that are in alignment with the Gospel? Would you be able to connect?" So I think that's really beautiful, is the connection part and the community part, because we are made for community and we crave it right now, especially with everything that's gone on with COVID.

When it comes to questions, I love when people reach out and either text or email questions about what's going on in the reading.

Mm-hmm.

My question for you is, we want to have a lot of kids, and I'm wondering what your best advice is for young couples with small children on how to prioritize and nurture their marriage amidst the busy day to day life of kids.

That's a very good question because your marriage came first.... and your husband is very important because your kids, you're raising them to fly.

You're raising them to leave the nest.

They'll always come back and once they do, I think that's why people get empty nest syndrome because they look at their husband in an empty living room and they're like, "Who are you? I have to relearn you." You wanna grow with your husband.

That is going to be very acrobatic at times, even if that means locking yourself in a closet with your husband for just an hour to say, "Can I breathe with you? Can I just...

Five minutes? Can I just have a second to look at you?" Something that Charlie does that's really sweet that I love is that sometimes, especially when he's traveling, we don't obviously, we, we figure out the dynamic of at least having a date night, at least once a month, at least.

But there'll be moments where he's literally about to rush out the door and I won't see him for several days.

Final thoughts?

(laughing)

Don't worry about that.

Um, but, oh, how funny, I say Egypt and my iPad turns on.

And here, here, one more thing from Erika here, play cut 3:26.

He believed disagreement was something not to be canceled.

It was something to confront with clarity, courage, and grace, and Charlie loved truth way more than conformity.

(dramatic music playing) My name is Charlie Kirk.

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

My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.

If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable, but if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful.

College is a scam, everybody.

You gotta stop sending your kids to college.

You said, "You have no idea what you have just unleashed." What did you mean by that?

Let me give you a little background of that day.

We get home.

The team goes to dinner.

I'm laying in my daughter's bed, and I can't sleep.

It took me months to even walk into my bedroom.

I'm laying in my daughter's bed.

As someone who admired Charlie's ability to offer young people a productive and optimistic path, I wanted to ask, how should the conservative movement think about cultivating leaders and role models for young men and how can it continue offering them a constructive alternative to the toxic currents Charlie so astutely criticized?

So in that spirit, will you condemn the violent rhetoric of Donald Trump, the most powerful and influential person on Earth?

Hm.

I appreciate your question.

You know my heart.

Why would I ever say, "Yes, go murder people"? This is so much deeper than just one...

I understand your sentiment.

I do.

Will you here condemn the individuals spreading that hate and speak out clearly enough against anti-Semitism so we can prevent another tragedy?

It was an amazing transformation for the entire team.

It was, and not even so much from just a productivity level, but Andrew and Blake, you guys both know this.

The whole team knows this.

Being in politics and just in a total echo chamber and then also just dealing with real world issues and then also just dealing with even personal life issues, all of those three combined become this absolute trifecta of this weight on you where you're just like, can I just have a second to breathe? I just need a second to breathe.

And that's what this is.

It has nothing to do with running away.

It has nothing to do with take, it's literally taking a pause so you can lay out and map out.

Out there doing this for Charlie to spread this word that was so near and dear to him.

Is it for both religions?

Well, it, it is a commandment.

It's part of the Ten Commandments.

But what Charlie is trying to explain in this book is that put the legalism aside, look at this from the standpoint of if you don't honor the Sabbath, meaning the day of rest, God is asking you to just press pause and rest and be with Him so that He can use you and you can be the man or the woman that He needs you to be in order to make a difference in this world.

Like for us, we would make sure that Friday night it was family dinner night, and then all day Saturday was family time.

It's the conspiracy theory.

I have no idea.

Seinfeld and Frasier.

And so for him, he'd come home.

He started off very slow.

At first it was a half hour a day, a half hour for the weekend.

But every single time, he would turn his phone off, and he would put it in the junk drawer, close the junk drawer and say, "Shabbat shalom." The reason he said that was not because of, that's what you're supposed to say.

He, Charlie was also very fascinated with brain health, and to him, especially since both him and I played sports, we understood this, and for anyone out there listening who's played sports, you get this.

And how are you doing? How are the children doing?

So what were you doing in New York?

So, to go back a little bit further, I mean, right now, first and foremost, um, I'm a daughter to the King, to the Most High.

That's (applause) the most important title, if you will.

And my husband ...

In August, before all of this happened, he had a event where he had some donors at.

And one of the first questions they asked was, "God forbid if something happens to you, like, what, what, what would happen next to Turning Point?" And Charlie made a really interesting point.

He said companies, you know ...

... how, how are you gonna do that?

(cheering) (clapping)

And my husband, in August, before all this happened, he had a event where he had some donors at, and one of the first questions they asked was, "God forbid if something happens to you, like what, what, what would happen next at Turning Point?" And Charlie made a really interesting point.

He said, "Companies, you know," example, Apple, Macintosh.

He said, "They're founder led." He said, "But what I have built is, well, one day, if I'm not around, be vision led." And he had made mention at the end like, "You know, Erika will do a great job running it." And when I watched that video this week, it really put into perspective my-...

youth, and what I went through growing up and what I witnessed, you know, my mom having her own company and being a single mother, and watching her be the blueprint of, you know, "I'm, I'm not afraid of raising my children alone because I, I saw my mom do that.

I'm not afraid of being a CEO 'cause I saw my mom do that." Um, the only thing that I fear, to be fully transparent with you, is being out of the alignment of God's will, because I feel like that is a very dangerous position to be in.

And so for me, growing up, um, when I was in New York, it was one of those moments where I really trusted God that's where I needed to be.

Why?

And I- I would not have been able to do any of it without Erika, and that's the real truth.

Charlie always said that when he was gone he wanted to be remembered for his courage and for his faith.

Charlie loved, loved life.

After Charlie's assassination, we didn't see violence.

We didn't see rioting.

We didn't see revolution.

Instead we saw what my husband always prayed he would see in this country, we saw revival.

(applause)

[dramatic music]

There were nights when the winds were so cold.

That my body froze in bed if I just listened to it right outside the window.

There were days when the sun was so cruel.

That my tears turned to dust and I just knew my eyes were drying up forever.

Forever.

I finished crying in the instant that you left.

Uh, how are you holding up?

And, um, yeah, we're just so glad you're here.

Yeah, I'm grateful.

I mean, I know we talked about this, we prayed on it.

We really tried to, um, discern properly how to go about the next few stages and steps of everything, and we've been very intentional in, in a way that always keeps Charlie first and his dreams alive and his legacy going.

And what's so beautiful is to see all of you step in and do that.

Mm-hmm.

And I'll never forget 2020 when literally the world stood still and Charlie and I would go hiking every morning, and we would just talk about what life, uh, the crazy things going on.

And we came home from one of our hikes, uh, that, that time, that season, and my mom pulled him aside in the kitchen and she goes, "Honey..." They had a very good relationship.

... di- dive more into that.

Okay.

For me as a wife, my Biblical role is to be the helpmate to my husband.
