In this episode of the Going Deeper podcast, I sit down with Jonathan Carl—an old pastor and friend—to talk through the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination. We explore what this moment means for Christians trying to navigate the tricky intersection of faith and politics. We reflect on the nature of evil, the importance of holding fast to scripture, and the role of forgiveness—even in the midst of political conflict. This conversation highlights why it’s so important for Christians to engage thoughtfully and biblically in public discussions while staying rooted in the truth of the gospel.
