On Friday morning of NRB’s 2022 Christian media convention, NRB presents a special Forum with Charlie Kirk, Salem talk host & Founder and President of Turning Point USA, titled “The Church is the Last Firewall for Freedom.”
Kirk will share that for too long, God’s people have abdicated their responsibility to enter into the public square, believing instead that their role begins and ends at the pulpit. But as the culture continues its slide into moral relativism and confusion, this position has been proven insufficient.
