Lead Together

Charlie Kirk, CS Lewis, & Andy Crouch and leading with conviction, grievance collection, and forgiveness

Nick & Kim Bogardus Season 3 Episode 12

In this episode Nick and Kim reflect on the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and what it reveals about leadership, formation, and family in today’s digital world.

This isn’t about politics—it’s about the spiritual and emotional exhaustion of living in a world where evil is unavoidable and moral clarity is rare.

They then share and comment on a few resources they've been reading lately that turn out to be related to current events.

You’ll learn:

  • Why “witnessing evil on repeat” is damaging your soul (and what to do about it)
  • How to raise kids with anchored convictions in an age of online indoctrination
  • The hidden danger of becoming a “grievance collector”—and how that mindset sabotages marriages, teams, and parenting
  • Why Christian leaders must pursue grace + truth with humility
  • How forgiveness frees us from the cycle of revenge

Whether you’re leading a team, a church, or just trying to show up better at home—this episode will equip you with practical tools and Christian perspective.

  • "Strong and Weak" by Andy Crouch
  • "After Humanity: A Guide to CS Lewis' Abolition of Man" by Michael Ward
