In the
days since the tragic death of conservative leader Charlie Kirk, the Rev. Lucas
Miles told Newsmax on
Wednesday the pain is still raw — but so is the resolve to carry on Kirk's
work.
Speaking
with "Greg
Kelly Reports," Miles described grief that "comes and
goes" as he and the Turning Point USA team are gathered in Phoenix to
prepare for what he called "the best send-off possible" for Kirk on
Sunday.
"I'm
asking myself that question a lot right now, Greg," Miles told host Greg
Kelly when asked how he's doing.
"I
don't know, honestly. I think that it comes and goes, but we're continuing the
fight. We've got a lot of the team here in Phoenix. We're really just trying to
focus this week on giving Charlie the best send-off possible on Sunday and
ensure that his legacy and his work continue for a really long time," he
said.
A
public memorial for Kirk is going to be held Sunday at State
Farm
Stadium in Glendale,
Arizona, home to the NFL's Arizona Cardinals.
Miles
framed Kirk not merely as a political strategist but as a man of faith whose
convictions guided his public life.
"Charlie
was a figure that we could follow and, you know, trust that he was headed in a
sure direction as he really made the Lord the foundation for everything that he
did," Miles said. "People are calling him provocative or a
conservative commentator. I don't think those are the best descriptions of
Charlie. I think he was first and foremost a Christian."
Miles
said Kirk's courage in speaking his beliefs under pressure reflected a faith
that could not be silenced.
"What
a Christian does is they stand when it's difficult and they still proclaim the
Gospel. When people are trying to silence them, they still testify to their
faith. Charlie did all of these things. He died a martyr. I think he's a hero
to all of us," Miles said, adding that even those unfamiliar with Kirk
before last week are now discovering his life and message.
"And
even those who didn't know a lot about him a week ago I think are discovering
him all over and are recognizing that the world lost a really, truly, great man
this last week."
