Erika Kirk says Charlie’s murder revealed who her friends are

After receiving criticism, Erika snapped back about being labeled.

In an Instagram post showing footage of her young son walking, she wrote: “The most important thing I’ve learned in the past year is that no one should be cruel to you. As much as you want to give the world a taste of its own bitter medicine, it’s never worth losing yourself.”

Erika noted that a friend sent this to her, and she “loved it immensely and thought it might encourage someone else to remain pure of heart.”

“There’s a cost to being unusual. People will try to label you, or put you in a box, let them, whatever… accusations don’t define you, obedience to Christ does.”

Erika continued, emphasizing that everyone is a sinner and is “not in the glory of God.”

“Never say words that God has never spoken about you,” she added. “Endure hardship for the sake of the Gospel, and the evil of this world will never break you. I promise.’

Erika ended her message to her followers by declaring, “God gives you the grace you need every day. It’s His power, not yours. Rest in that.’

“You answer to God, not to the noise.”
