I Hated Him Until I Actually Listened

A man recently admitted that when Charlie Kirk was assassinated, his first reaction was celebration. Why? Because he had been told Charlie Kirk was a bigot, a villain, and an enemy. But then he watched Kirk’s actual debates—not headlines, not edited clips, not media summaries—and what he saw changed him. This Culture & Conviction video looks at the deeper issue behind this viral story: what happens when a culture teaches us to hate people before we’ve ever honestly listened to them? Proverbs 24:17 says, “Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles.” That verse exposes something in all of us. Christians are not called to answer hatred with hatred. We are called to love our enemies, speak the truth, refuse manipulation, and bear witness to a different kingdom. Because lies divide. Truth reconciles.
