Timmerie shares a powerful reflection on what Charlie Kirk himself once said he wanted to be remembered for. In an interview not long before his tragic death, the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was asked how he hoped people would remember him. His answer was simple yet striking: “I want to be remembered for courage for my faith.” Timmerie reminds you that courage isn’t the absence of fear – it’s acting in spite of fear. Whether it was launching Turning Point as a teenager, debating on hostile college campuses, or defending life and family in the public square, Charlie prayed before each appearance: “God, use me for your will.” His refusal to compromise on truth showed the kind of conviction that shaped both his public witness and private devotion. Timmerie mentions that Charlie's greatest joy wasn’t found in politics or fame, but in family. He often encouraged young women not to sacrifice marriage and motherhood for career ambition, and he delighted in sharing stories of his little daughter running to hug him after long days on the road. He and his wife had just celebrated her third birthday shortly before his death. Charlie Kirk’s legacy reaches beyond politics. He saw his mission as fighting for the soul of America, shaping hearts and minds toward faith, truth, and life. His prayerful dependence on God and his devotion as a husband and father reveal a man striving to live with fortitude even in the face of fear. Charlie died the way he lived – committed to truth, unafraid of opposition, and rooted in faith. His life poses a question for all of us: do we have the courage and fortitude to say, like Samuel, “Here I am, Lord, use me for your will”?
