It wasn't all that long ago that Charlie Kirk, who was tragically assassinated on Sept. 10 while speaking at a university in Utah, sending shockwaves around the world, told someone what he really wanted to be remembered by.
According to Fox News, Kirk, during a podcast interview barely three months ago, stated boldly and proudly that he wanted to be remembered for his strong faith as a Christian. Nothing more, nothing less.
The admission came during an appearance on "The Iced Coffee Hour" podcast, with host Jack Selby. The interview took place at the end of June.
Selby had asked Kirk how he would want to be remembered if "everything completely goes away," to which Kirk immediately replied, "If I die?"
"Everything just goes away," Selby clarified for Kirk. "If you could be associated with one thing, how would you want to be remembered?"
Kirk held absolutely nothing back with his response, showing zero hesitation with his answer.
"I want to be remembered for courage for my faith," Kirk told Selby. "That would be the most important thing; most important thing is my faith."

Fox News noted:
The resurfaced clip has gone viral in the wake of his tragic death, with many social media users highlighting Kirk’s words as a reflection of the principles he championed throughout his career.
A number of previous statements and interviews done by Kirk have resurfaced since his death, and as important as they were when he was living, they strike a much deeper cord in the wake of his untimely and unfair death.
Kirk's fans and supporters -- and Christians in general -- across social media weighed in on Kirk's legacy wish.
"Keep the faith. No matter what. That’s what Charlie wanted," one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "Charlie’s own words say it all—faith and courage. Not titles, not fame, not power. Just a man who wanted to be remembered for standing boldly for Christ."
Many suggested that Kirk's death will fuel millions back to Christ. Let's pray that's the case.
