Events like political violence wake us up to deeper spiritual questions—was this act merely the result of human hate, or did evil itself take form? In this episode, Pastor Doug engages with the assassination of Charlie Kirk not just as a crime, but as a moment to wrestle with the presence of darkness in our world. You’ll be encouraged to confront evil soberly, mourn rightly, and anchor your hope in the One who overcomes darkness.
Discussion Questions:
- In moments of shock or violence, how can Christians discern between human evil and spiritual forces at work?
- What biblical stories illustrate how God works—even through atrocity—to bring justice, healing, or redemption?
- How can faith help us respond to tragedy in ways that resist cynicism and reflect Christ’s light?
