  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Charlie passionately wanted to reach and save the lost boys of the West…
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.

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.
