While speaking at the Centennial Impact Summit in Lakewood, Colorado, on Saturday (Sept. 27), conservative author and podcaster Isabel Brown reflected on the example set by her mentor, Charlie Kirk. Brown praised Kirk’s bravery and truth-telling, calling him a model for how Christians can witness in the digital age.
The host of “The Isabel Brown Show” spoke during a panel presentation about artificial intelligence (AI) and its impacts and uses. Unlike other speakers at the summit—titled “Theology, Technology, and Anthropology: Reclaiming Embodiment in a Brave New World”—Brown embraced the use of social media and AI, calling them powerful evangelism tools.
Isabel Brown Praises Charlie Kirk’s Fearlessness
Isabel Brown, author of “Frontlines: Finding My Voice on an American College Campus,” described the godlessness and lack of objective truth she encountered while studying biomedical science at Colorado State University (CSU) 10 years ago.
After receiving an email from Kirk’s Turning Point USA, Brown attended a Young Women’s Leadership Summit and “felt empowered to make a difference” on campus. As a student, Brown started a Turning Point chapter at CSU, and she eventually became a spokesperson for the national organization.
“Charlie Kirk was the most fearless person I’ve ever met in my life,” Brown said of her longtime mentor. “He understood the need for good people to go into the heart of culture to try to change it from the inside.”

Although the conservative movement started in the political sphere, Brown said, religion is vital because “there’s no truth without the Source of truth.” Quoting Kirk’s words about people drinking from the “streams of liberty,” she emphasized that God must be the focal point and cornerstone of efforts to save American society.
