Shownotes

Matt Reisetter, CC's Executive Director, and Tim Boettger, The CC Broadcast's Radio Preacher, and Ike Boettger, Tim's son who is similar in age to Charlie Kirk, sit down to discuss the spiritual significance of Charlie's assassination and his memorial service, and what it means for each of them as well as for the broader Body of Christ.
