E23: America, We Can Clear the Skies w Special Guest
Mark Herr
E23 Introduction
Well, we were all set for this interview and, as fate would have it, we had some tech difficulties (from my end) and had to postpone. And in the meantime, our beloved brother Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Murdered in front of his wife and young daughters.
To me, Charlie represented so many wonderful American attributes. He was unbelievably courageous, he inspired and led others, he was a Christian who wore his faith on his sleeve. And he LOVED America!
He loved all of it and could articulate this love with a wonderful blend of articulation, spirit, and humor. He was a stand for an America that could debate our differences. Where BOTH sides were heard and seen. It would be easy for the left to simply demonize him and call him names. This reflexive approach misses the larger context that Charlie and his legacy are pointing to. Something my guest eloquently expresses.
America is hurting right now. By ALL accounts. Everyone can sense that the nation has entered into a new phase. What will w all choose? What will you choose?
Like all entrenched conflicts, the nation is holding a collective trauma. That we have been disconnected and disregared by our fellow brothers and sisters. By our fellow AMERICANS. Nothing has seemed to heal this divide and now we have lost one of your bravest and brightest.
There is something about the episode today and my guest that stirred something in me. A missing piece that I personally have not been able to quite put my finger on.
See if you can see yourselves in today’s conversation. And I join you in prayer that America will do her work to clear the skies for ourselves, our children, and future generations. Enjoy the conversation.
