NRB Commemorates the Life and Legacy of Charlie Kirk
The National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), the world’s largest association of Christian communicators, joins believers worldwide in mourning the passing of Charlie Kirk—a friend to NRB, a dynamic communicator, and a tireless advocate for faith and freedom. We celebrate his enduring legacy of inspiring the next generation.
The following statement is attributable to Troy A. Miller, NRB president & CEO:
"We are devastated by the news of Charlie Kirk’s passing. Charlie was a friend to NRB and to so many in our community. He spoke at our convention, set up his broadcast booth on the floor, and had a unique ability to connect with and inspire younger audiences.
"Charlie's influence reached beyond politics; he created space for principled public discourse at a time when it is desperately needed. He championed speech over violence and conviction over compromise, inspiring a generation to stand for faith and freedom.
"Charlie embodied what it meant to speak the truth in love. He was a man who cared deeply about people and the lives they lived. He wanted the best for them and for this country. His death is a senseless act, and our prayers go out to his wife, children, and entire family."
He is in the arms of his Lord and Savior now."
—Troy A. Miller, NRB president & CEO
