The memorial service for Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Sunday was not a funeral, it was a revival.
Held in the huge State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, the area, which has a capacity of 73,000, was packed full.
Some of the most powerful and moving speeches were delivered by members of the Trump administration and the Trump family, many of whom were close friends to Kirk.
The majority of the Trump Cabinet were seen in attendance at the service, and many quote verses from the Bible and shared Christ-filled messages of hope, mercy and courage.

Today thousands have come from across the country to show up for Charlie, Erika, and his two beautiful children. He fought for us, and now we will fight for him. We love you, Charlie. ❤️🇺🇸
