October 14th, 2025: President Trump posthumously awards Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom. September 25th: State Department quietly revokes 47 visas for non-citizens who celebrated Kirk's assassination. Justice without revenge - that's the Christian balance we all need to understand.

Five weeks after starting this podcast inspired by Charlie's example, watching his widow Erica accept that medal while justice was quietly served taught me something deeper: It's easy to be bold when angry. What's hard is pursuing justice while extending grace.

THE RECEIPTS:

• Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony: Oct 14, 2025, White House Rose Garden
• Visa revocations: 47 non-citizens, Sept 25, 2025
• Legal authority: Immigration & Nationality Act §212(a)(3)(B)
• White House transcript available at whitehouse.gov
• Connection to EEOC v. Apple Inc. Sabbath case (filed Sept 30, 2025)
• Groff v. DeJoy Supreme Court religious accommodation standard

WHAT WE COVER: The biblical tension between Romans 12 (do not take revenge) and Romans 13 (government authority to pursue justice). How Erica Kirk's grace under pressure exemplifies Proverbs 31. Why visa revocations aren't censorship but consequences. The connection to our Apple Sabbath episode and consistent standards. Practical application in tech workplace discrimination.

KEY SCRIPTURE: Romans 12:17-21 - Personal revenge vs. governmental justice Romans 13:1-4 - Authority established by God Micah 6:8 - Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly Proverbs 24:17-18 - Don't gloat over enemies

THE TAKEAWAY: Katie Kirk can forgive murderers personally while supporting their prosecution. That's not hypocritical - that's biblical. We're moving from anger to action, from outrage to organization, from revenge fantasies to principled governance.

As Christians in tech, we can pursue justice through proper channels (Title VII, HR complaints, legal action) while extending personal grace. We can stand firm on principles while showing mercy to individuals. We can demand accountability while refusing to dehumanize.

WHO THIS IS FOR: Silent Christians in tech tired of hiding their faith. Conservatives facing discrimination. Anyone figuring out how to maintain integrity while facing injustice. Tech professionals who want excellence without compromising values.

I'm still a flawed Christian - drink beer, swear like a sailor, figuring this out one day at a time. But the Kirk family's example is showing the path forward.
