Charlie Kirk: Honoring an American Treasure • 2 Samuel 1:17-27 • Pastor Rick Brown

Pastor Rick Brown of Dayspring Church delivers a moving tribute honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA who was tragically assassinated during an event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025. Through heartfelt stories and personal pictures, Pastor Brown captures behind-the-scenes moments while sharing a message that reflected on Kirk as both a Christian martyr and "a true American hero who meant the world to so many of us."

In the wake of this tragic murder that has shaken the nation, many are struggling with how to respond to such profound loss. Pastor Brown turns to Scripture, drawing from 2 Samuel 1:17-27, where King David provides a biblical guideline for deep, meaningful grief. David responded to the deaths of Saul and his son Jonathan by honoring them in the way he knew best.

Rick emphasizes that Charlie fully lived for Christ, preaching the gospel only seconds before his final breath. "Though we grieve deeply and honor his life, our hope is in Jesus alone," he shares. He reminds listeners that regardless of their calling, all can glorify God through their lives, persevering toward the day they might hear the words, "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord.”

Rick and the Dayspring family continue to pray for God's peace to comfort Charlie's family and for believers to be emboldened to carry forward God's torch of truth. Charlie Kirk's legacy lives on through every life he touched and continues to inspire people to stand stronger for what is right.
