Live Like It Matters

Tonight, I listened to Erika Kirk, wife of Charlie Kirk, give a powerful speech about faith, courage, and purpose. Her message stuck with me, and here’s the crux of what she said — in my own words.

“They will be known by the boldness of their faith.”

How do you become courageous?
Ask yourself three questions every day:

1. What is something I can do for someone today?

2. What is something I can do to add value to the world today?

3. How can I honor God today?

You only get one life — this one.

(Tempit fugit, momento mori. Time flies. Remember, you will die. My addition here. But that's what she was referring to). 

So live like it matters.

God created you for greatness — not for something lifeless.

Greatness isn’t about how long you live; it’s about what you do with the life the Lord has blessed you with.

When you get to the end of your life, will the Lord be proud of what you stood for?
Will you be able to say you fought the good fight — that you used your time for something that mattered?
Or will you realize you wasted the precious time God gave you chasing after things that never did?

Hold that in perspective.

Stand up for truth. Defend life. Love your family fearlessly. Love this country and defend her.
Serve our God — boldly and unapologetically.

And don’t think it’s someone else’s role to do it.
It’s yours.

You do it.

Do it for the ones who will follow.

Do it for your family.

Do it for Charlie.

Erika’s words were a reminder that faith, courage, and conviction begin not with speeches or politics, but with action — one person, one choice, one day at a time.

You only get one life.

Live like it matters.
