102 | The Charlie Kirk Effect: What His Assassination Means for Christians
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode of The Future Is Now dives into the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk and why I believe he should be remembered as a modern-day martyr. We explore the historic parallels between John the Baptist, the early church under Rome, and the dangerous patterns of persecution rising today.
From Ephesians 6 and the armor of God to the cult of Artemis in Ephesus, I break down how culture-driven idolatry in the first century mirrors what we face in America right now. Persecution doesn’t start with violence—it starts with mockery, marginalization, and silence.
Scriptures covered: Matthew 14, Philippians 1:12–18, Proverbs 29:18, Ephesians 6.
