CTP (S3E120) Holy Rage: Finding God's Purpose in Our Darkest Moments

CTP (S3E120) Holy Rage: Finding God's Purpose in Our Darkest Moments
Processing anger through a Christian lens after tragedy, focusing on the Charlie Kirk assassination and its unexpected spiritual impact. I explore how anger as a natural emotion becomes sinful only when it drives destructive actions, while reflecting on how this tragic event is inadvertently fueling what may be "Jesus Revolution 2.0."
• Anger is a normal human emotion and part of the grieving process
• The difference between feeling anger and being ruled by it determines its spiritual impact
• Churches reportedly fuller than they've been since post-9/11 as younger generations return to faith
• Tragedy often precedes spiritual awakening, similar to the Jesus Revolution following the 1960s
• Evil actions can inadvertently amplify good messages—"You destroyed his body but exponentially elevated his voice"

Welcome to Institutionalist Politics Podcast, aka C T P. I am your host, Joseph M. Leonard, and that's L-E-N-A-R-D. C T P is your no must, no fuss, just me, you, and occasional guest type podcast. Really appreciate you tuning in. Hello everyone, welcome to season three, episode 120, dropping October the 4th. I am pre-recording this intro to what was a September video exclusive called Anger Hate Hubrus discussion following the Kirk assassination, spurred by something on True Social. I decided far too important to leave just as a video exclusive. So this brief little intro to set up the September the 15th video exclusive that will now air as part of a regular CTP episode season three. One episode 120 now. Without further ado, let's get into it. Hello everyone. September video exclusive number five. Wearing my The Book of Kennedy shirt. This didn't lined up being the actual cover. This was produced prior to the actual book publication. But eight alternate covers similar to this is in the book. But I'm here to talk to you about CTP3, specifically the Huber's chapter. Over on Truth Social, and I'll try to grab a screenshot and add it in via post edit. Someone mentioned was saying they're angry and maybe more angry than Jesus would want them to be. Well, my response was Jesus recognizes anger is a normal, natural human condition slash emotion. But what do you do? Hubris is sin. Anger is human emotion condition, a natural part of life. But what do you do with that? And I had to go on to further admit, I at Amazon.com for CTP3, I've just attempted to update the description to add uh a Monday, September the 15th update, you know, post-assassination, the mention of anger. And even though I wanted my book to be out for this 24th remembrance, the deadline I had was is soon before September 11 this year, 2025, to have the book out. I think and I I feel that much of it, including the hubris hubris chapter, was divinely inspired. I but I'm sorry, Lord, I clearly missed in the hey, this needs to be out by September 11th, Somber Remembrance, the hate and anger of that day, and anger should have been a chapter in this book. My apologies that it was not there, but here we are following the assassination of Kirk. We have to address it. Anger is normal. Shock, denial, anger, acceptance. The stages of grieving. As long as you don't dwell in the anger, as long as you think, right? I'll put in post. Whatever, I'll put it in in post. Right? The fool who's ruled by emotion, wisdom of those who think the right. As long as you don't dwell, you can't let your emotion rule your head. And what is the anger going to drive you to? To good deeds, to sow something good out of this bad educational moment, as I hope my books are, or do you let it drive you to do something bad also? That's when the anger becomes a sin. You commit a sinful act out of your anger in revenge. That is where that is then. So this isn't in CTP3, but the spirit of those thoughts, these thoughts, indeed are. Again, I apologize, Lord, I didn't think about the anger and the hate of September 11th, that that needed to be a chapter, even though I was very consciously, purposefully going to release the book for the 21st somber remembrance of 9-11. I'm sorry, please forgive me. I failed you on that. Lord, please let there be calm. Let cooler heads prevail. And we already see you. I before this last weekend on Friday after the Kirk assassination predicted churches would be fuller than they were, that we haven't seen an increase in church attendance since the weekend following 9-11 of 2001. And reports coming in, right, are of course all anecdotal, but indeed the reports are coming in this younger generation, in a large part due to Charlie Kirk's ethics, efforts, ethics, ethics, and efforts are returning back to God, returning to Jesus, becoming Christians. After, as I say in uh Project, the Book of Kennedy Project Carpi Diem, the 1960s. If it feels good, do it all about me, me, me. What can I get? When can I get it? Why didn't I get it yesterday? They grew up and created the Jesus Revolution, except for the Bill Ayers types, leftist hippies who went on to create the weather of underground and other terrorist groups. Majority of hippies woke up to the fact that there's more to life than just them and helped found the Jesus Revolution. And as I've been saying all year, the Jesus Revolution part two is underway. And the assassination of Kirk, the evil intended, sorry, it's doing good. I know you know what I mean when I say that. If I could undo what was done, I would, but God is using the evil for good. Jesus Revolution 2 is well underway. You may have destroyed Charlie Kirk's body, but you exponentially elevated his voice, as I said in another video. Thank you all. Take care. God bless.
