Erika Kirk Named CEO of TPUSA & Today’s Tribute to Charlie Kirk
Dear Prophecy Investigators Community,
As America gathers today at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona to honor the life and message of Charlie Kirk with reports of an expected worldwide viewership of over 1 billion people, we are witnessing a profound moment in the continuation of his legacy. The Turning Point USA Board of Directors has unanimously appointed his widow, Erika Kirk, as the new CEO and Chair of the Board of the organization Charlie founded at just 18 years old.
This appointment fulfills what Charlie himself had expressed to close colleagues—that Erika would continue the mission should anything ever happen to him. Today, she stands not only as his widow, but as a leader who accepts the mantle and the responsibility to carry his vision forward.
Today’s memorial is more than remembrance—it is declaration. Though Charlie’s earthly voice was silenced, Erika’s role signals that his mission continues, that the organization is built for this: to withstand trial and to carry on. It is a powerful affirmation that conversion, conviction, and truth will not die.
As the memorial ceremonies unfold at State Farm Stadium, with overflow at Desert Diamond Arena, hundreds of thousands are gathered to honor Charlie’s life and message. Erika Kirk will be among the prominent speakers today, standing not only as his widow, but as a leader who now carries the mantle of responsibility.

The Official TPUSA Board Letter
September 17, 2025
“In Ecclesiastes, King Solomon wrote that mankind is to be tested by God. Today we are facing such a test, yet we also know that God has prepared us with everything we need to overcome this ordeal. It was the honor of our lives to serve as board members at Charlie's side. Charlie prepared all of us for a moment like this one. He worked tirelessly to ensure Turning Point USA was built to survive even the greatest tests. And now, it is our great pride to announce Erika Kirk as the new CEO and Chair of the Board for Turning Point USA.
All of us at Turning Point USA have a special role in carrying Charlie Kirk's mantle and completing his vision of bringing us all closer to our Lord and fostering a prosperous country for generations to come. As Charlie always said, ‘We have a country to save.’ We will not surrender or kneel before evil. We will carry on. The attempt to destroy Charlie's work will become our chance to make it more powerful and enduring than ever before.
May God Bless Erika, the Kirk family, and the entire team at Turning Point USA.
Very truly yours,
Doug De Groote
Mike Miller
Tom Sodeika

A Prophetic Reflection
Erika’s appointment is far more than an organizational transition—it is a spiritual mantle. Like Esther, who rose “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14), Erika now steps forward to carry Charlie’s vision with courage and faith. The attempt to silence his mission has instead amplified it.
Charlie laid the foundation so that in times of darkness, people and institutions would remain strong enough to outlast tragedy. His legacy declares that faith, truth, and courage cannot be extinguished. Erika’s appointment is not simply administrative—it is prophetic. It proclaims that legacy does not end with death, but transforms into calling.
As the board letter boldly affirms, “We will not surrender or kneel before evil. We will carry on.” This is spiritual language, a charge to stand firm, to pray, and to act.
Today’s memorial is more than remembrance—it is declaration. Though Charlie’s earthly voice was silenced, his mission is alive. And under Erika’s leadership, it may yet become “more powerful and enduring than ever before.”
A Prayer for Erika & TPUSA
Heavenly Father, we lift up Erika Kirk, her children, Charlie’s parents, and the entire Kirk family into Your loving care. Grant Erika wisdom, courage, and grace as she steps into this mantle of leadership. Surround her with godly advisors, protect her from every attack of the enemy, and fill her with the peace that surpasses all understanding.
We pray for Turning Point USA, that the mission Charlie began will not only continue but flourish. Let this movement be a light in the darkness, a beacon of truth, faith, and freedom for generations to come. Strengthen every staff member, volunteer, and supporter to carry this mantle boldly and faithfully.
May Erika’s leadership inspire revival in America, and may Your glory be revealed through this work. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

A Prayer of Protection for Today’s Memorial
Heavenly Father,
We lift up this historic gathering before You. Place Your angels at every gate, every roadway, and every corner of State Farm Stadium and Desert Diamond Arena. Let no weapon formed against this memorial prosper. Guard President Trump, Vice President Vance, Erika Kirk, her children, Charlie’s parents Robert and Kimberly, the cabinet members, worship leaders, and every attendee with Your divine protection.
We ask that Your Spirit bring peace to the crowd, wisdom to the leaders, and revival to the nation. May every song, every word, and every prayer today be an offering to You, pointing hearts to Jesus Christ and proclaiming that freedom is worth every sacrifice.
In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
Closing Reflection
Charlie Kirk’s life was short, but it was full—defined by truth, anchored in faith, and devoted to the country he loved. Though his earthly voice was silenced, his message now rings louder than ever: that courage is contagious, that faith is stronger than fear, and that freedom is worth every sacrifice.
Today we grieve, but we do not grieve without hope. As Scripture reminds us, “Well done, good and faithful servant”(Matthew 25:23). Charlie’s legacy endures in the movement he founded, in the millions he inspired, and in the assurance that we will see him again.
May we honor him not only with remembrance, but with renewed resolve—to pray for our nation, to live boldly in our faith, and to carry forward Charlie’s mission of truth, freedom, and revival for generations to come.
