For as long as Christians have existed, they’ve been maligned by people who don’t understand — or who pretend not to understand — anything whatsoever about the religion. When the early Christians gathered in secret, they were falsely accused of engaging in various acts of depravity and debauchery, including ritual cannibalism. Christianity was a foreign cult in the eyes of its detractors. There was no room for common ground or mutual understanding because its enemies were too confused and horrified by a faith they didn’t comprehend.
If you watched the memorial to Charlie Kirk over the weekend, and saw the responses from various corners of the Left, then you witnessed a very similar dynamic. For Christians, the memorial signified that an American revival is underway. I was in that stadium, along with tens of thousands of others. I’ve never seen conservatives this energized and determined to take back the culture. Every speech, for five hours in a row, declared Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Tens of thousands of attendees — from musicians to politicians to Turning Point staffers to members of the general public — were praying in that stadium. More than a hundred million people were watching online from across the world, on various livestreams. And many of these speeches were broadcast across all of the major networks. We’ve never seen anything like this. It was extraordinary.
