What happens when forgiveness shouts louder than politics?

Sixty thousand people filled a stadium. Millions more watched online. The nation paused — some in tears, others in mockery. But the loudest sermon wasn’t preached by a pastor or politician. It came from a 29-year-old widow who forgave the man who murdered her husband, Charlie Kirk.

This episode isn’t just about Charlie’s life or death. It’s about us. It’s a mirror for the Church — forcing us to ask: What do our hearts reveal when faced with hate, tragedy, and division? Do we mirror the culture’s outrage, or do we model Christ’s radical forgiveness?

In this powerful teaching, Devin Schubert (The Man in Orange) unpacks Charlie Kirk’s legacy, the message America missed at his memorial, and the urgent heart check believers can’t afford to ignore.

This is bigger than politics. It’s about the Kingdom, forgiveness, and the kind of influence that outlives us.

If you’ve ever wrestled with bitterness, division, or what real Kingdom influence looks like in today’s culture — this is your moment.
