At The Prophetic, we honestly don’t even know where to start in responding to something as grotesque as what happened with Charlie Kirk.
We did not follow Kirk, therefore we are not clear on his views, nor do we stand with them.
Our stance is that, we believe fiercely in every American’s constitutional right to freedom of speech—the right to express oneself, one's religious, and political beliefs, even when we may or may not feel they’re misguided.
Our leaders here at Zoe Ministries grew up in a world shaped by figures like:
Conservative / Right-Leaning:
Ronald Reagan – Former U.S. President, Republican icon.Margaret Thatcher – Former U.K. Prime Minister (if including global figures).
Ben Shapiro – Political commentator, author.
Tucker Carlson – Media personality.
Liberal / Left-Leaning:
Barack Obama – Former U.S. President.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – U.S. Representative.
Elizabeth Warren – U.S. Senator.Bernie Sanders – U.S. Senator.
Rachel Maddow – Media personality.
Centrist / Moderate:
Joe Manchin – U.S. Senator, Democrat but often centrist.
Mitt Romney – U.S. Senator, Republican but sometimes moderate.Kyrsten Sinema – U.S. Senator, known for centrist positions.
And TV personas like Archie Bunker, Bill Cosby, Claire Huxtable, Al and Peggy Bundy, and George Jefferson.
And so we do recognize that there are differences in opinions. In addition, that prejudice is real.
But because it exists, it must be challenged, educated, debated, and confronted—never met with violence.
No one should ever be harmed, harassed, or un-alived, because of an opinion. Every American should feel outraged—not at his views, but at the fact that if it could happen to him, it could happen to anyone.
Disagreement is human; murder is never acceptable.
Diversity—of thought, of experience, of belief—is America’s strength. Through it, we innovate, we invent, we grow, and we progress.
Some claim America “was already here,” but America, as we know it, was built through struggle, courage, and the efforts of countless people—some by choice, others by force. Together, they forged and discovered a future better than the past.
We have that same God-given duty. When we imagine America’s tomorrow, we must ask ourselves and each other: what will we leave for the next generation?
I hope it is the same freedom, the same bravery, the same unshakable spirit we inherited. That, above all, is what makes America truly great.
