Today Dot and Cara pause to reflect on the days following Charlie Kirk’s assassination and what God might be saying to each of us at this moment. Anchored in 2 Timothy 4:6–8, they talk about Charlie’s memorial service, Erika’s bold example of faith, and keeping their “why” nearby as our culture feels increasingly hostile to truth. This conversation is an invitation to examine your heart, hold tight to Scripture, and move forward by trusting the power of the Holy Spirit. Grab your Bible, journal, a warm drink, and settle in with us.

Scripture Verse: 2 Timothy 4:6-8 (NASB1995)
“For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.”
