The Evangelistic Impact of Two Great Losses

Friday, September 26, 2025

The American church has entered a season of mourning that is also, paradoxically, a season of gospel proclamation. Two lions of faith—Charlie Kirk and Voddie Baucham—have been called home, and the reverberations of their deaths are being felt far beyond the sanctuaries and seminar halls they once filled. It would be easy to see only loss in their absence. But theologically and evangelistically, God is already at work in their departure, multiplying influence in ways that remind us of the early church’s witness: “unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.”
