Charlie Kirk Responds, Praises ‘Youth-Led Revival’
On his show Monday, Kirk addressed the “liberal meltdown” over Jackson reposting him. “Literally all I said is, ‘It’s all about Jesus,’ which, by the way, is metaphysically, theologically true,” Kirk told listeners. “And even if you don’t believe that’s true, that shouldn’t be offensive to you. Just keep moving on.”
The dustup is “part of a bigger picture,” Kirk added, citing increased church attendance by Gen Z men, the popularity of Christian musician Forrest Frank, increased Bible sales and reading, and the “remarkable surge” of Christian entertainment options, including “The Chosen.”

As for what he called “a youth-led revival,” Kirk said it’s the result of “all the BLM stuff, the COVID stuff, the lockdowns, the vaccines, the masks, the lying, the duplicity.” Of young Americans, Kirk said:
They’re looking for something ancient, something true, something that lasts, something that won’t change, something that elevates, something divine, something that allows the human soul to flourish, something that is rooted in the natural law, something that acknowledges male and female distinction, something that allows for normativity and says that it’s woven all throughout nature. They do not want this post-modern pile of trash. They want something beautiful, something good, something higher, something ancient, something unchanging, something unending. They want Jesus. And praise God for that.
