The tragic murder of Charlie Kirk in September has ignited a profound spiritual revival among many Americans.
This resurgence in faith has notably influenced several hosts of "The Five," Fox News' prominent panel show. As reported by Western Journal, during a recent episode featuring Erika Kirk, widow of the late Turning Point USA founder, Jesse Watters disclosed that he, alongside Harold Ford Jr. and Greg Gutfeld, has begun reading Bible passages each morning and exchanging reflections via text.
"Harold, Jesse, and Greg are in a Bible study group together, because of Charlie Kirk," Watters stated, referencing himself in the third person, as noted by Mediaite.
Erika Kirk expressed her heartfelt reaction to this revelation, acknowledging her husband's enduring impact on others' spiritual journeys. "Are they really?" she responded. "Okay, that is really cool." Watters elaborated on their routine, saying, "Every morning we wake up and we read a passage, and then we text about it."
This newfound practice was inspired by Charlie Kirk's own habit of sharing Bible verses with friends and colleagues. "Charlie, every single day on the way into work, would text people Bible verses," Kirk shared with the panel. "And he just wanted to remind people this is what its all about. Its about, your life here is so short. So are you going to use your short time here on earth to make this place better or worse?"
The influence of Kirk's faith has been far-reaching, with numerous accounts of individuals attending church or engaging with the Bible for the first time, or after a long hiatus, following his passing. Watters and Gutfeld, both raised Roman Catholic, have found renewed inspiration in Kirk's evangelical Protestant devotion.
His funeral service in late September became a monumental event, reportedly one of the most widely viewed gospel presentations in history, attracting an audience of approximately 100 million. This remarkable turnout underscores the profound impact of Kirk's life and legacy, as his message continues to resonate with countless individuals seeking spiritual guidance and purpose.
