Your Voice, Ages 18–35: Reflections on a Christian’s Passing

I’m reaching out to young adults (ages 18–35) to hear your thoughts on Charlie Kirk’s passing. I find aspects of his life and his style of engaging young people with faith-driven ideas laudable and worth emulating, but this isn’t about praise or politics—it’s a space for honest, Christ-centered reflection. 

Even if you’re outside this age range, your reflections are welcome. Your perspective will help shape a thoughtful piece reflecting what this generation thinks, feels, and wrestles with in response to a faith-driven public figure.

Please share your thoughts with honesty and respect so everyone can engage constructively. Write as much or as little as you like; I’ll polish for clarity and context.

For a sense of my perspective, check my “About” page.

Here’s a sample of the questions I’m asking:

Initial Impressions

• How did you first hear about Charlie Kirk, and what was your impression of his faith or public work?
• Did you agree or disagree with anything he said, especially regarding Christian values? How did it shape your thinking?

Emotional Responses

• What emotions came up when you learned of his passing?

• How does the passing of a public, faith-driven figure affect your reflection on their influence?
• How do you process the loss of someone polarizing yet faith-driven?

Lessons and Reflections

• What lessons—positive or cautionary—can be drawn from his life or career, through a Christian lens?
• Even if you disagreed with him, did any aspect of his approach (e.g., engaging youth, boldness for faith) seem constructive?
• Did his media presence spark faith-rooted discussions you wouldn’t have had otherwise?
• If you could ask him one question today, rooted in Christian respect, what would it be?
• If you could write a message to someone like him, grounded in Christian compassion, what would it say?

How to Submit

• Google Form: Submit your thoughts here for quick, private responses.
• Email: vinividiscripsi [at] yahoo [dot] com, for those prefer that.

Deadline: September 19. Responses will remain confidential unless you say otherwise. I’ll edit for clarity and to remove anything divisive.
