BOA Summary: Apologist Frank Turek (Cross Examined) discusses his mentorship of Charlie, Charlies faith, and sadly Charlies assassination, as Frank was standing right next to him when it occurred.
Video’s Description: “This week’s episode is the most difficult we’ve ever recorded.
As an eyewitness to the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, Frank will share his firsthand account of those harrowing moments on 9/10/2025 as well as offer a tribute to Charlie’s life and legacy—a person who lived 24/7 for Jesus and courageously proclaimed truth while receiving threats against his life.
Charlie loved his wife Erika and their children deeply, encouraged his closest friends through Scripture, and adamantly worked to let those in the TPUSA family know that they were valued as he modeled great leadership. He was a man of action and integrity, an evangelist and apologist, generous and kind–especially to those who opposed him, and courageous in the face of a hostile culture. Frank will answer questions like:
— How did Frank and Charlie become friends and why did Charlie work so hard to unite people?
— How did Charlie combine courage and humility to influence millions of young people?
— What were Frank’s last conversations with Charlie?
— How should Christians respond to those who are celebrating the assassination?
— Where do we go from here and how should Christians respond to this tragic event?
Listeners will also hear how Charlie’s family and team displayed incredible strength in the wake of tragedy, and how TPUSA will move forward stronger than ever. This is not just a tribute—it’s a call to action for Christians everywhere to carry forward Charlie’s legacy by boldly proclaiming the Gospel, ensuring his mission to reach the next generation for Christ does not end.”
