“My husband always said it best. COVID taught us that knowledge and wisdom are not the same thing. Our institutions are filled with people like Fauci who have credentials, degrees, and knowledge, but lack wisdom. And knowledge without wisdom, especially when combined with power, is incredibly dangerous. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,” — Proverbs 9:10”

““The most important thing is sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ every single day. The second most important thing is making sure you can do the first thing.” My husband dedicated his life to protecting the freedoms given to us by our Creator and ensured by our Founders. I’ll forever be inspired by the wisdom in his words. I pray they inspire you too, not simply to cherish the freedoms we’ve inherited, but to defend them so our children and their children inherit them too. https:// podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the -charlie-kirk-show/id1460600818?i=1000790764745 …”

“Charlie once said we should be building two statues for every statue that they tear down. His instinct was always to build, not to destroy. They thought a bullet would silence my husband’s voice but it only made it louder. They think spray paint can obscure his legacy, but it will only spread it further. Every attempt to tear down what Charlie built makes us root deeper and work even harder. And if you think crossing out the name of Jesus Christ will silence Christians, history has already proved you wrong. We know what it costs to stand firm for Christ and we will stand anyway. God will not be mocked. We’ll put His name right back where it belongs, clean up the mess, restore Charlie's statue, and keep building. We will never give up and never surrender.”

“Free speech and debate are the antidote to this. That’s why what our @TPUSA chapters are doing on college campuses is so important. Students should be taught to challenge diverse viewpoints intellectually, not with violence. Charlie said that when people stop talking to each other, really bad things start to happen. We have to get back to a culture where we can disagree on the issues without ever seeing violence as an option.”
