It was an attack on something deeper: the Christian faith and the God-ordained family structure that Kirk defended in public. Charlie was more than a campus debater, cultural commentator, or conservative activist; he was a Christian evangelist. He believed what Niebuhr called “Christ transforming culture”: Grace renews a fallen world, transforming individuals, families, institutions, governments and the whole fabric of culture. That vision drove him to create TPUSA Faith, a branch of Turning Point USA, to equip the church to stand boldly for biblical truth in public life. It was the historic, biblical faith that upholds truth, goodness and beauty.
