In the Wake of Tragedy: Teaching Our Children Civics, History, and Legacy

Today we pause to reflect on the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, who was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University. Whether or not you agreed with his politics, his sudden passing is a sobering reminder of the fragility of life, the weight of leadership, and the importance of preparing the next generation for thoughtful, principled citizenship. In this video, I share why moments like this call us to teach our children civics and history, not merely as facts to memorize, but as truths that shape character, courage, and care for their fellow man. With wisdom from scripture, historic statesmen, and Charlotte Mason’s timeless insights on education, we’ll consider how to raise children who can carry the torch of faith and responsibility into the future. Join me in reflecting, praying, and recommitting ourselves to raising young people who understand both their heavenly calling and their earthly citizenship. 📖 “So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” — Psalm 90:12 🙏 If this message speaks to you, please like, share, and comment how you’re teaching civics and history in your home as we honor legacy by raising faithful future citizens. 🌎 To try our favorite current events program from ‪@WORLDWatchNews‬ for 4 months at NO COST (must be a new account and must register by 9/30/25): https://app.worldwatch.news/orders/cu... 📚To learn more about, and get $25 off your new membership at The Alveary (the Charlotte Mason curriculum we use) use the code OWENS and the link below: https://lddy.no/1jzgg Today I am drinking Earl Grey loose leaf tea with 3 homemade marshmallows.
