A few recent interviews with John Yep ( @USAYep ) are circulating the claim that Charlie Kirk ( @charliekirk11 ) was in the process of converting to Catholicism. That claim is not accurate, and it needs to be corrected.

As the Senior Director of TPUSA’s Faith division and someone who served directly under Charlie’s leadership during the final year and a half of his life, I am in a position to speak plainly about this.

I have personally communicated with Charlie’s wife, @MrsErikaKirk, and I also spoke directly with Father Kline, the priest referenced in these discussions. After those conversations, the facts are straightforward:

• Charlie was not in the process of converting to Catholicism
• He never took Catholic conversion classes (OCIA)
• His marriage was never convalidated in the Catholic Church
• He was baptized Presbyterian and remained a Bible believing evangelical throughout his life

Father Kline indicated concern that his prior comments have been misconstrued and that the current public narrative is not accurately representing his conversations with Charlie’s intentions.

Let me be clear, respect for Catholicism is not the same thing as moving toward conversion. Charlie respected many people across denominational lines. Like many evangelicals, including myself, he read widely, including Augustine and Aquinas. None of that constitutes a conversion trajectory.

In my own conversations with Charlie, he was firm on justification by grace and did not believe he could biblically reconcile certain Catholic doctrines, including Mariology and the invocation of the Saints. In the few instances he was present at mass, he found it peaceful and beautiful. Charlie enjoyed sitting inside the empty sanctuary to worship in peace without being asked for selfies etc. That is a long way from entering OCIA.

If there had been an active conversion process, there would be documentation. There is none.

Charlie loved all true Christians, whether Catholic, Orthodox, or Evangelical. Again, that is a long way from entering OCIA.

That this even has to be addressed is bizarre.

An occasional “fist bump” does not equate to intimate friendship nor give @USAYep the authority to speak on behalf of the dead. I would caution him to take care not to overstate what the facts simply do not support. This is not about scoring theological points. It is about honoring Charlie’s actual life and faith with accuracy and refusing to let speculation rewrite his story.

Journalist Alex Newman: Bill Gates, the UN and the WEF are attempting to construct "a giant digital gulag for all of humanity" via digital ID, CBDCs and vaccine passport infrastructure.

"They are using it to build a control system that will not just be able to surveil and monitor everything you do on an unprecedented scale... but also to manipulate what you do."

"This is a mechanism for controlling humanity that I think is really unprecedented in human history."

Earlier today, we released an Of Flames and Crowns episode featuring Dr. Voddie Baucham. Just hours later, we received the news that he had entered glory.

We share this conversation with you in honor of his faithful life and ministry.

[Will Spencer @willspencer]

When I was first becoming a Christian, it was a sermon by Voddie Baucham on YouTube that explained to me the doctrines of grace in a way that I could understand. It's a moment I'll never forget.

Then I learned Voddie's story.

I made this reel to remind myself and others what God can do. He can deliver us from nothing, and so we owe Him everything. Even the air in our lungs, which He can take away in an instant.

I wouldn't be the man I am without Voddie's wisdom and voice. I'm devastated to continue on without him and to have never gotten the chance to thank him.

But now Voddie has earned his eternal reward for all he's done for me and so many others.

Glory to God. And thank you, brother. ✝️

We now know that no one even bothered to test the mRNA gene therapy “vaccines” to see if they actually prevented transmission. Every word you see in this video is an outright lie.

Thank you @KanekoaTheGreat for this awesome video.

In 1977, Paul Simon appeared on Sesame Street and performed Me and Julio Down By The School Yard.

And it's wholesome AF.

Pastor John MacArthur faithfully testified to the Truth of the Gospel for decades all while the culture, the media, and our politicians peddled lie after lie. He was a legend and he will be deeply missed.
