Can Erika Kirk’s Influence Help Women To ‘Woman Up?’, by Carrie Gress

By Carrie Gress, The Federalist - Is there someone who can tell (Gen Z women in both parties) to “woman up?” As Erika Kirk takes the helm at Turning Point, many have suggested she could do for young women what her husband has done for young men... Kirk is a woman of remarkable talent and grace, who has made it clear that she isn’t hemmed in by feminist tropes. “Women,” she said at her husband’s memorial service, “I have a challenge for you too.

For example, assassinated American presidents are not considered religious martyrs, as hatred of the faith was not the motivating factor for their killers... A critical factor in considering Kirk’s case would be the motivation of his killer. While there has been some reporting on that to date, it is still not entirely known with certainty.

Author Don Schwager, Servants of the Word - Luke 9:7-9 - 7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead, 8 by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen. 9 Herod said, "John I beheaded; but who is this about whom I hear such things?"
