Madison Prewett Troutt pays tribute to Charlie Kirk’s faith legacy

Following the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, Madison Prewett Troutt pays tribute to his inheritance, honoring him as a man who lived boldly for his faith and the truth.

Troutt first paid national attention to ABC’s “The Bachelor” season 23, where she finished as a finalist. Since then, she met and married her husband, Grant Troutt, and the couple now shares a girl, Hosanna.

Beyond his personal life, Troutt has become a voice for inspiration focused on faith. She is the host of the “Podcast True True” and a successful author. His last outing, “”Dare to be true:: Overcome the lies that bind you Aand live the truth that frees you,“” focuses on the help of readers to continue an authentic life and focused on Christ. It will be available for purchase Tuesday.

Charlie Kirk replied: “How do you want to be recalled” less than 3 months before killing

Troutt described the feeling of “devastated” when the USA turning point]]was tragically murdered.

“I felt the weight, like probably many people through America have felt, a heaviness, a deep sadness. But at the same time, I felt a conviction to get up, to be more daring and more without shame of the truth,” she said. “Charlie was a man who lived and died for the truth.”

Since then, Troutt has described a “turning point” after the death of Kirk.

“Now people are like,” wow, I want to know more about the truth. I want to know more about what he has built his life “and people are hungry,” she said.

She added that Kirk’s death led a lot to think more deeply about eternity.

Troutt said that people asked: “I have to understand this thing that happens if it happens to me. As, what is eternity? And I think people ask these questions and wonder and want a feeling of security, a feeling of hope at the moment.”

Although Troutt recognized Kirk’s political participation, she said that she came from her faith and stressed that her convictions were ultimately based on belief.

“Everything was confused in the truth about Jesus Christ, and that was what he has always fired and returned,” she said, adding that his example inspired him as well as many through America.

His new book focuses on the search for meaning and the truth.

“I woke up in the middle of the night and I felt like the Lord put on my heart that I needed to write a book on the truth and that it was the truth that everyone needed,” she said. “And now, I see this world in which we live today with so much rupture, with so much pain, with so much confusion. There is hunger and a search for truth, there is hunger and the search for something bigger and more than of themselves to attach to something that is supernatural, something that survives them, something that leaves a heritage.”

Troutt said that she had “broken heart” for the Kirk family but believes in the importance of faith, even in difficult and dark times.

“I just believe that what the enemy meant for evil, God will use for good,” she said. “I also know that God will use it in a greater way that we could never imagine it.”

“Life does not make sense unless you have Jesus. And so even if you have all the money in the world, all the reputation of the world, if you do not have Jesus, you do not know how to hope, you do not know peace, you do not know the truth, you do not know the goal,” she added.

She also gave encouragement on Kirk’s eternal fate:

“The reality is yes, this day ended Charlie’s life on earth, but she also started her life in eternity,” she said.

Watch Troutt appear on “Fox & Friends” Monday at 6:50 am.
