CCM Responds to Charlie Kirk
Until now, names like Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, and Robert F. Kennedy lived in history books and grainy footage. But on September 10, 2025, the world watched in real time, in 4K video, the cold-blooded murder of Charlie Kirk, one of today’s most passionate voices for the political right and conservative Christianity.

So your calling then, is not your job. Your calling is something way bigger than your job.” For years, Steve’s job *was* the music: writing songs, fronting Big Tent Revival, making records, and hitting the road.
