The tragic death of Charlie Kirk marks more than the loss of a cultural leader — it highlights the civilizational moment we find ourselves in. In this video, Christian Barrett examines what his assassination means for Western values, the culture war, and the urgent need for Christians to stand for truth in the global public square. From questions of suffering to the influence of thinkers like Os Guinness and how we should see the difference between 1776 and 1789, he explores how believers can respond with conviction and hope as salt and light in this civilizational moment. This video also considers the secular agenda shaping our culture, the call to revival and renewal, and what Charlie Kirk’s legacy means for the future of Western values.

👉 If you care about Christian faith, Western civilization, and the future of culture, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

In this video, Christian Barrett compares how the Roman Catholic Church canonizes saints with how the Bible defines sainthood. He looks at Pope Leo XIV's recent canonization of two new saints (Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati), explores what that means, and asks how someone officially becomes a saint in Catholicism. He also dives into the more important question: what does Scripture teach about sainthood, righteousness, and who truly belongs to God?

Who is the church really for — believers, seekers, or both? In this video, Christian Barrett explores the purpose of the local church, the role of expositional preaching, and whether church should primarily be outreach-driven.

Along the way, he responds to Joël Malm’s perspective, examines what makes a Biblical sermon, and discusses whether outreach and exegetical preaching stand in contrast with one another. We’ll also touch on how worship music (with references to Brandon Lake and Bryce Crawford) plays into the larger conversation.
