—Choose Christ— Erika Kirk received a prolonged standing ovation from thousands of mourners as she took the stage. The mother of two, wiping away tears and pausing briefly in prayer, spoke with a voice heavy with grief. She began quoting Charlie’s favorite verse, Isaiah 6:8, “Here I am Lord. Send me.” “It is a powerful statement and God took him up on that,” said Erika. She gave wisdom and advice for the men and women regarding marriage, challenging them based upon Biblical truth. She quoted Jesus’words on the cross, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” Then courageously said, “That young man, I forgive him.” “It’s what Charlie would do.” She concluded speaking of love, truth and beauty and leading young people in the way of righteousness, and as the new CEO of Turning Point USA, promises that every part of their work will become greater. Charlie’s mission is now her mission.
