Pastor David Engelhardt, who was Charlie Kirk’s pastor, said Friday on Newsmax that the late conservative activist had “found his purpose” in life, which was to “declare truth and beauty and righteousness and justice and faith.” In other words, to point others to God, “just like Jesus did.”
“Charlie was a guy that was a brilliant mind,” Engelhardt told “National Report.” “He could memorize vast quantities of information, but he always brought it down to the personal – that man, that his listeners, that the students, were made for something. They were made for a relationship with God, and they were made for an adventure to live here on earth. And that adventure was to fight back against the wave of darkness and confusion, and you’re not here for a purpose, you’re just kind of a biological mechanism wandering in the stars.
“Charlie was saying, No, you’re made to be in relationship with God, to glorify him and to be loved by him and that love would replicate in you and through you and around you,” he said. “That could change America and that’s why Charlie’s faith was so essential and fundamental to who he was, because he didn’t just believe it, but he acted on it. And his whole life was living for that purpose of declaring and seeing his faith multiplied across college campuses in our nation.”
