Kirk’s Relationship with Jesus
According to Hertzberg, who has over 45 years in ministry and has served organizations like the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Wheaton College, and The Moody Church, Charlie Kirk’s faith was central to his life.
“His relationship with Jesus Christ was the most important thing in his life.”
Personal Character and Ministry
- Kirk often sent Scripture verses via text to people on his way to work.
- He regularly checked in with others, even interrupting important events to offer help.
Family Priorities
Despite a demanding schedule, Kirk made his family a clear priority. Hertzberg noted:
“As busy as Charlie was—and he was as busy as any person that I’ve ever been close to or knew—he would turn his devices off and not take calls from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. It was obviously a priority for him to love his wife, to love his children, and that’s certainly a mark of a man who takes Biblical priorities seriously.”
