“Charlie was a Christ follower, and he knew Jesus intimately; this was evident in every conference speech or chapter event I saw him at. At Liberty, Kirk played an important role in helping to launch what is now the Standing for Freedom Center and has participated in many of the center’s summits. “Charlie Kirk has left a lasting legacy on this nation, this generation and even Liberty University and the Standing for Freedom Center,” Helfenbein said. Because of his faith in Christ, no single person has made a greater impact on the Gen Z generation than Charlie Kirk. We will miss him dearly.”Kirk never ceased to speak unashamedly of his Lord Jesus Christ as the cornerstone of all his beliefs and work.
