“Six months ago today, conservative pundit Charlie Kirk was murdered …. I was nearly nine years old when the Columbine shooting happened. A year or two later, I picked up the book She Said Yes at my school’s Scholastic Book Fair (the best day of my school year). The story of Cassie Bernall — which claimed she was killed after being asked by one of the Columbine shooters if she believed in God — spread like a brush fire through the broader Christian community. Though it was very soon after debunked, it has never been fully extinguished. Cassie and Charlie appear to share only two things in common: they were both professing Christians, and they were both victims of horrific violence. But in death, they have acquired a third. Their stories are used to impress upon young Christians the importance of being willing to die for their faith.” (03/10/26)
