North Carolina is no stranger to fiery church sermons, but one pastor’s speech at a vigil for conservative activist Charlie Kirk has set the internet ablaze. What was supposed to be a solemn memorial quickly turned into a rallying cry against Democrats, complete with dramatic music, bold declarations, and an audience that seemed more fired up with each passing minute.
A video from the event, posted on Reddit, shows the North Carolina pastor in a sharp suit, passionately preaching while a keyboardist played soft, emotional chords in the background. The vibe felt less like a funeral and more like a political rally disguised as a worship service. And the crowd was eating it up, clapping, cheering, and echoing back lines as the pastor dug into his message.
The preacher wasted no time in setting the tone, immediately pointing toward Mayor Rob Burns and declaring, “We can’t have unity with people who want to kill us.” His focus wasn’t just on honoring Kirk but on sounding the alarm about what he described as a “wicked and demonic ideology” within the Democratic Party. Strong words, and they only got stronger.

“The Democratic Party has been captured by a wicked and demonic ideology. It is evil, and we cannot make peace with that,” he insisted, sparking another round of applause from the North Carolina crowd. It was clear this wasn’t going to be a gentle eulogy.
Things took a heavier turn when the pastor quoted Stephen Miller, saying: “There is a vast domestic movement, and with God as my witness, we are going to use every resource we have throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle, and destroy these networks, and we will do it in Charlie’s name.” It was a striking moment, blurring the lines between honoring a conservative figure and rallying people around a brand of Christian nationalism.
At one point, the pastor shifted gears, asking attendees to loudly declare their faith together. The crowd roared back in unison: “In God we trust. In God we trust.” Then came the headline-worthy moment his call to “make America Christian again.” For him, patriotism and Christianity are one and the same. “If we want to make America great again, there’s no way we do it without making America Christian again,” he said firmly.

But perhaps the most controversial part of the speech came at the end, when he listed off the “false gods” that must be torn down, naming abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism, and Marxism. His words left no room for middle ground and doubled down on culture-war politics right in the middle of North Carolina.
For supporters, this was a passionate defense of faith and values. For critics, it was proof that religion and politics are becoming dangerously entangled. Either way, the pastor ensured that Charlie Kirk’s vigil in North Carolina won’t soon be forgotten, though it may be remembered less for honoring Kirk and more for the firestorm it sparked.
