Before the video from the @TPUSA event at @UTSA went public, I told the story on stage at @texyouthsummit.
"They want us dead, but we cannot surrender the public square." 🇺🇸✝️

My Pick Up the Mic video from @UTSA went viral. Here's my response, and a message for Isa. I'm not here to cast stones; I'm praying she finds the grace I've found in Jesus. Shoutout to @TPUSA and @tpusa_utsa for standing for truth on campus. Early voting ends Friday. Get out and vote. 🇺🇸🙏

Hey @tiktok_us, why was this video banned? You allow countless videos mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination, yet remove a video documenting a student celebrating it and telling me I was brave without my neck covered.
At @UTSA for Pick Up the Mic, a student read a poem celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk with such glee, then told me I was brave to be out here without my neck covered.
I told her I’d pray for her.
This is the climate. We pick up the mic anyway.

The Ten Commandments belong in public schools. They help students understand our nation’s history and the Judeo-Christian values that helped shape it.

An encouraging day in Austin focused on faith and the future of Texas! 🇺🇸
It was an honor to participate in the Texas Faith Summit and share about our work through @texyouthsummit to equip the next generation to stand firm in their faith and lead with courage.
A special thank you to Governor Abbott’s senior advisor, @NateSchatzline, for organizing this gathering and bringing together leaders committed to faith and the future of our state!
Jincy and I also enjoyed visiting with @GregAbbott_TX at the Governor’s Mansion. Grateful for his hospitality and the opportunity to connect with so many people committed to serving Texas.
Our young people need strong examples of faith in action. Excited to keep doing our part!

Good to be at Texas A&M for Pick Up the Mic.
The last time this format was done here was Charlie Kirk’s Prove Me Wrong table in April 2025. It was an honor to pick up the mic.
Thank you to the students who came out — heavy rain, solid turnout, and real conversations. Exactly what the table is for.
Sometimes you weather the storm for one conversation that can change someone’s life.
And then I received this message afterward.
This is why these conversations matter.
Grateful for every student who was willing to step up to the mic, disagree, ask questions, and have an open and respectful conversation.
Thank you to @TPUSA at Texas A&M for hosting me and making it happen. 🇺🇸

Great turnout at UTSA! Hundreds of students gathered to debate, ask questions, and hear different perspectives. Thank you, @tpusa_utsa, for hosting me! 🎤🇺🇸
One of my favorite verses Charlie ever texted me was 2 Timothy 1:7: “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”
Civil discourse matters. Let’s be happy warriors for truth the way Charlie was—with conviction, joy, and respect for others.
Grateful to be part of @TPUSA’s Pick Up the Mic initiative. Next stop: Texas A&M, October 1!
Onward for Charlie. 🇺🇸

Proud to stand with the greatest Attorney General in the nation, @KenPaxtonTX.
James Talarico wants to dismantle capitalism, says God is non-binary, claims there are six genders, and when asked what he loves besides family and friends, his answer was trans kids. He wants to trans the kids and roll out a welcome mat on the southern border.
They’ve lied about Ken, smeared him nonstop, and flooded this race with California and New York money. He keeps winning anyway. He sued Biden more than 100 times, kept men out of girls’ sports, and fought illegal immigration and held the line. He never backs down.
Ken has a real plan to make Texas affordable. Talarico has empty promises.
Texas needs that kind of fighter. Proud to support Ken.
The deadline to register to vote is October 5. Visit VoteTexas.gov and make sure you’re ready. 🇺🇸

One year ago today, we lost @charliekirk11—an American hero and Christian martyr. A husband, father, friend, and warrior for truth.
Charlie was a mentor and friend whose courage, faith, and passion for reaching the next generation left a lasting mark on all of us.
We honor Charlie by continuing the work and carrying the torch.
“Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.” — 1 Corinthians 15:58
His legacy lives on. 🇺🇸✝️

Excited to be at the historic Midterm Convention! We can never let Marxists like James Talarico get anywhere close to power. It’s time for Republicans to unite, win BIG this November, and fight for the future of America!

The race for U.S. Senate in Texas will have major implications for the future of our state and country.
I joined @NEWSMAX recently to discuss @KenPaxtonTX vs. James Talarico and why conservatives must unite to keep Texas RED. 🇺🇸

Grateful for two special opportunities this week.
I had the privilege of sharing my story and the mission of @texyouthsummit through multiple interviews on @Daystar in Dallas, followed by attending the White House Faith Office gathering in Washington, D.C.
I’m grateful for every opportunity to point young people to Christ and inspire the next generation to lead with faith, courage, and conviction.
Thank you to everyone who continues to pray for, support, and believe in this mission. The best is yet to come. 🇺🇸✝️

Rest in Peace, Deputy Erika Serrato.
Montgomery County lost a hero today. Deputy Serrato, 24, was struck and killed in the line of duty while directing traffic on I-45 near The Woodlands.
“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” – John 15:13
Thank you for your service and sacrifice. You will never be forgotten.
Prayers for her family and the entire MCSO.

I hope this pastor’s pews and plates are overflowing Sunday. Defending his family with courage — that’s the kind of shepherd we need. 🔥
Louisiana pastor beats up a man who allegedly threatened to r*pe and kill his wife and grandchildren.
Pastor Tony Spell of Life Tabernacle Church says he was working on a church bus when the neighbor's son started shouting at him.
Spell said that it is his job as the natural protector to protect his church and family.
"He said, 'Tony, I'm gonna r*pe your wife, I'm gonna r*pe all of your grandchildren,' and he said, 'The next time you go out of town, I'm gonna kill them, and what the F are you going to do about it?" Spell said.
The neighbors, the Sherwin family, claim Spell is not telling the truth, but during a press conference, Spell was backed by members of his church who say they've made multiple complaints about the Sherwin family to police.
Spell's attorney says the Sherwin family has "a large, industrial-scale camera that could see from across the street all the way into the pulpit."
Spell was hit with multiple misdemeanor summonses in 2020 during the COVID lockdowns when he refused to close his church.
"The Central City police are friends with these folks across the street. When Pastor Spell was being surveilled 24/7, it was with the help of the man across the street," Spell's lawyer said.
The pastor was reportedly arrested and booked for second-degree battery.
