Last weekend many in the United States (and around the world) remembered, mourned, and celebrated the life of Charlie Kirk. Probably the most significant part of the memorial came from Charlie’s widow, Erika Kirk, towards the end. I highly recommend my readers take the time to read or watch her speech in its entirety. For me, the key part Erika’s speech came when she summarized Charlie’s main mission as reaching and saving “the lost boys of the West,” as one of these “lost boys” took Charlie’s life. Moreover, one of these “lost boys” also shot at ICE agents in Dallas and ended up killing a detainee (and himself). Clearly, a generation of young men feel adrift in a secularized, sexualized, and fragmented culture that offers only confusion and hopelessness.Charlie passionately wanted to reach and save the lost boys of the West…
Here, I want to explore what it means to save these “lost boys” and why Erika’s speech points us to a hopeful path forward.
