Pastor Dr. Rodney Evans

For more than a week, I’ve held my tongue—listening deeply, wrestling with my thoughts, and letting the weight of it all sink in. But silence has its limits. Today, I open my heart and speak. I am overwhelmed with sorrow and righteous anger over the senseless, brutal murder of Charlie Kirk. Charlie was a fearless voice for truth, a man gifted with the rare ability to proclaim the Gospel with unyielding conviction, even as he faced the misguided academic elites poisoning our universities. He stood tall—a beacon of courage for a generation that refuses to be silenced. Never harsh or cruel, Charlie wove together deep compassion, sharp intellect, and unshakable hope to defend truth and inspire countless believers like me. For over a decade, Charlie built a movement that shines light into the darkest corners of spiritual and cultural decay. His legacy lives on in that radiant mission. My heart breaks for Erika, their children, the Turning Point family, and everyone touched by his extraordinary life. I pray they carry his torch forward with the same bold courage, boundless kindness, and fierce compassion that defined him. But it’s agonizing to see the venom flooding social media—posts from self-proclaimed progressives celebrating the assassination of a man who devoted his life to hope and truth. This isn’t just the work of a hateful few; it’s a wave of malice from those who mock, cheer, and toast to the bullet that stole him. It reveals a culture rotting under division and cruelty. Even worse is the betrayal from those who should uphold decency. Some left-leaning media outlets have twisted this tragedy, downplaying its horror while dredging up baseless smears to paint Charlie’s bold stand for faith and freedom as somehow deserving of this fate. The silence—or worse, subtle endorsements—from Democratic leaders feels like complicity, turning a national tragedy into a partisan weapon, as if political violence is now a tool they accept. Most heartbreaking of all is the poison coming from some pulpits—ministers who should embody the Gospel but instead spread lies, falsely labeling Charlie a racist or bigot to justify this horrific act. This isn’t faith; it’s hypocrisy dressed in religious robes, a betrayal of the Gospel Charlie proclaimed so boldly. It’s unacceptable, and it fuels the darkness that took him, dragging souls deeper into despair. We cannot let this stand. Charlie’s light exposed the shadows, and now we must carry his fire, standing firm against the darkness with unrelenting resolve. I pray for justice, for healing, and for a nation that remembers what it means to be human. To those celebrating this evil, hear this: your actions condemn you. ( the only hope you have is to repent and get your heart right with God.) My heart also aches for the tragedy in Charlotte, North Carolina, where Iryna Zarutska was brutally murdered on a crowded light-rail train. Bystanders watched her die, doing nothing—no one stepped in, no one helped. This cold indifference sickens me. It’s a stark reminder of how numb we’ve become, choosing safety over courage. This isn’t just a tragedy; it’s a call to action. We cannot let apathy define us. We must pray,act, care, and fight to reclaim our shared humanity. I may lose supporters for my ministry, but I will always speak to the truth!

Iran was once a growing, modernizing nation until radical Islamists seized power and destroyed it. For years I wondered how that could happen so completely. Now I see the same pattern unfolding in America. Democrats have elevated radical Muslims into office, voted them in, and continue to support them. The long-term goal is the same as it was in Iran: gradual takeover. Only 17 to 18% of Christians voted in this past election. When we stay home, we make it easier for this to happen. Most Americans still don’t see the danger—radical Islamists and the Democrats who enable them, aided by Christian silence at the ballot box. If we keep ignoring it, that is exactly where we are headed.

I refuse to pay higher taxes for government healthcare for people who choose not to work. Medicare for All would cost the federal government an additional $25–35 trillion over 10 years (about $2.5–3.5 trillion more per year), requiring massive new taxes—equivalent to roughly $7,500 (a married couple could face roughly $15,000 more per year in taxes under some Medicare and even more if they have kids) more per person annually. Hardworking Americans shouldn’t fund free healthcare for those who won’t work. Personal responsibility matters.
