• 0:00
  Good morning, my name is Angel Santana and I am the host of Have Faith, Let It Begin.
• 0:06
  Today, we are gonna have two special episodes of Have Faith, Let It Begin.
• 0:14
  We begin with the breaking news that occurred yesterday.
• 0:20
  Today, we're gonna pause two times.
• 0:23
  Our first pause will be to honor the life of Charlie Kirk, a man whose presence,
• 0:31
  words, and spirit impacted so many people.
• 0:36
  We also lift up in prayer his wife and his two children, who are walking through
• 0:41
  an unimaginable season of grief and loss.
• 0:46
  Violence and hate are not what we believe in here at Half-Aid Let It Begin.
• 0:51
  Our mission has always been rooted in faith, love, and hope.
• 0:58
  Today, more than ever, we cling to those truths because when tragedy strikes,
• 1:07
  when injustice rears its head, the only way forward is through compassion,
• 1:14
  unity, and the power of prayer.
• 1:17
  Charlie's life reminds us of the importance of standing firm in our beliefs
• 1:22
  while also caring for the people around us.
• 1:27
  He was a husband, a father, a friend, and someone whose voice carried weight in our world.
• 1:35
  While his loss leaves a deep wound, we honor his legacy by committing ourselves
• 1:40
  to the values of peace, understanding, and justice.
• 1:45
  This is not a time for anger or division.
• 1:49
  Instead, it is a time to reflect on how we, as individuals, and as a community,
• 1:56
  can help bring healing to the world, so often broken by hate.
• 2:01
  We live in a time when violence can feel overwhelming,
• 2:05
  but we must never forget that God calls us to be peacemakers,
• 2:10
  to be a light, to be a light in darkness, and to extend love even when it's not easy.
• 2:18
  Charlie's life challenges us to do just that. At this time, I ask you to join me in a prayer.
• 2:27
  Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, we come to you today with heavy hearts.
• 2:32
  We lift up Charlie Kirk's wife and his two children.
• 2:38
  Surround them with your comfort, your strength, and your peace.
• 2:43
  Hold them close in this time of sorrow and remind them that they are not alone.
• 2:51
  They are not alone. We ask, Lord, for justice in this situation,
• 2:57
  but also for healing in our communities and in our world.
• 3:01
  Remember the spirit of hate and violence. Replace it with compassion, kindness, and unity.
• 3:08
  May Charlie's legacy inspire us to live with boldness and faith,
• 3:13
  but also with love and humility.
• 3:17
  We pray that through this tragedy, hearts would turn to you,
• 3:21
  Lord, and that your light would shine brighter than the darkness.
• 3:25
  We pray this unto you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
• 3:30
  In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
• 3:33
  As we close this tribute, let us remember that every life is a gift and Charlie's was no exception.
• 3:42
  To his family, we send our love, our prayers, and our deepest condolences.
• 3:48
  To all who are listening, May this be a reminder that in our time here,
• 3:53
  our time on earth is truly precious.
• 3:56
  Let's choose faith over fear, love over hate, and peace over violence.
• 4:03
  And never forget, have faith, let it begin.
• 4:08
  Later this morning, we'll be back to do an honorable tribute for 9-11. Thank you.
