Jerry Bowyer: Charlie Kirk and a Way Out of Our Political Cult

Tuesday, October 14, 2025

Charlie Kirk’s journey shows that political engagement, far from distracting young people from faith, can actually prepare them for a deeper relationship with Christ and a deeper appreciation of the Gospel.

Generation Z—particularly young men—has grown up in what really ought to be seen as a cult—a political cult, the cult of woke—facing stultifying political conformity, “pronoun police,” attacks on so-called toxic masculinity and the like.

Kirk didn’t just help these young people escape the grip of a political cult; he pointed the way to a better alternative—Jesus Christ.

Churches have a unique opportunity to guide these young men. Charlie showed them it’s okay to disagree with the force-fed left-wing narratives.

The Church can help take them to the next step: That is: The greatest Story ever told.
