Carson Hails Revival After Charlie Kirk’s Death
Dr. Ben Carson celebrated the surge of Christian and patriotic energy following Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Speaking at a packed State Farm Stadium in Arizona during Kirk’s memorial on Sunday, Carson praised Kirk’s work with Turning Point USA. He predicted the movement would grow under the leadership of Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk.
Bridging Generations
“I am delighted to see young people joining older generations, moving together in the same direction,” Carson said. “Our nation rose from nothing to a global pinnacle because of our Judeo-Christian principles. Our rights come from our Creator, not the government.”
Warning Against Cultural Indoctrination
Carson condemned efforts by Marxists to seize control of schools, media, and cultural institutions. “A radical leftist once said, ‘Give me your children for four years, and the seed I sow will never be uprooted.’ That’s exactly what’s happening. They aim to dominate Hollywood and the media to normalize sexual perversion,” he explained.
He also criticized churches that abandon biblical teachings to follow secular trends. “I challenge ministers to preach the Bible, not leftist ideology,” Carson urged.
The Coming Revival
Carson encouraged the audience to embrace a nationwide spiritual revival. “Get on board the revival that is coming. We cannot stop it. Look around this stadium—we’re all part of it,” he said.
Linking Faith and Freedom
He reminded Americans that true freedom requires courage. “You cannot be the land of the free if you’re not the home of the brave. Stand up for your beliefs,” Carson declared.
Honoring Charlie Kirk
Carson concluded by quoting John 12:24 and noting the timing of Kirk’s shooting: “‘Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone, but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.’ I thank Charlie for his sacrifice. Much fruit will be realized because of it.”
