Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA have changed my life for the better. TPUSA has developed me as a leader, given me a purpose, and surrounded me with an amazing community of like-minded friends from all over the country who love Freedom and want to Save America! I’m very grateful for TPUSA Staff and how they’ve supported our chapter!

I remember 9/10 like it was yesterday. I was in the BRAGG building at MTSU waiting for my Intellectual Property I class. I remember how I got the news that he’d been shot, how I considered skipping class but thought that was something Charlie wouldn’t want me to do, how I prayed my heart out that he would make a quick recovery, and how I cried when I heard that his life had been taken. I looked forward to learning more under Charlie and perhaps getting to talk to him one day on this side of eternity about Jesus, TPUSA, and politics. I was looking forward to seeing Charlie at the Culture and Christianity Conference at my home church World Outreach in Murfreesboro.

Charlie was a great father, husband, son, and servant-leader. He was articulate. Nothing he said was hateful. He cared for my generation, he cared for our country. That’s why he warned against harmful ideologies like DEI (which went against meritocracy) and socialism. He built this movement. The words he spoke and the way he lived his life made me strive to be a better man, someone who chased after Jesus harder than I have before, someone who encouraged others to do the same, someone who stood boldly in his convictions.

May America have another Great Awakening! May God be glorified!

Invictus pt. 2

After seeing him at @wochurchtn multiple times and at @tpusaevents conferences, I finally had the opportunity to meet @theofficertatum ! I’ve watched Brandon’s YouTube videos for a long time. Tatum was a great emcee. He convicted us to be men of integrity, to do the right thing even when no one is watching.

I loved spending some quality time with the @tpusa_broadway boys - @chrismerkel_ and @evers.frank22 . Thank you so much, @havanajdavison , for nominating us to attend TPUSA’s Inaugural Men’s Leadership Summit!

TPUSA Fall Break Part 2 🇺🇸:

I am honored to be a part of TPUSA’s Invictus Inaugural class! I met some amazing brothers from all over the nation, pursuing Christ and determined to carry forth the mission of Turning Point USA and Charlie’s legacy!

TPUSA TN

@tpusa_mtsu x @uutpusa x @utkturningpointusa
@tpusa_broadway x @tpusa_volunteer x @tpusa_heartland x @tpusastudents

I first met Chris Gaffrey, @turningpointusa ‘s College Enterprise Director, and @cassidy_smith97 , TPUSA’s College Strategic Director, at MTSU as a freshman. Chris took his time to fly from Phoenix to Nashville and spend time with @tpusa_mtsu . Little did I know how much these people and how much this organization would change my life for the better.

I first met @delsypher , TPUSA’s Chief Field Officer, at our Chapter Leadership Summit reception last year. @james_olexa introduced me to him. I saw him again at CLS this year and at Utah Valley University on 9/10 this year. Andrew’s speech at UVU brought tears to my eyes and inspired me to stand for truth. If you haven’t seen it, I’d highly recommend for you to watch it.

Thank you so much to @cultureandchristianity for allowing @tpusa_mtsu / @tpusa.faith.mtsu to table! We checked over 30 voter statuses, met lots of @turningpointusa supporters and speakers!

It was a pleasure hanging out with @baby.abigail.w , @chrismerkel_ , @raeganbecquet , and @jadenheard from @tpusacommunities during the conference!

Thank you so much @havanajdavison and @baby.abigail.w for helping out at the conference!

I love the work @mrtimbarton and his father do with @wallbuilders ! I have especially loved their book The American Story: The Beginnings!

It was very special to see @robmccoy.us , @mikey.mccoy ‘s father and @charliekirk1776 ‘s pastor, roughly one year and one week after Charlie was assassinated.

Months of planning went into these two historic events! On the afternoon of September 17th, @sfl.mtsu had the privilege of hosting @lydiataylordavis for her first “Abortion is Anti-Woman” campus tour of the Fall ‘26 semester! That evening, we hosted Lydia, Portico Nurse Di Bell, and @tpusacommunities ’ @jadenheard ! This would not have happened if it weren’t for my wonderful exec board, MTSU staff, @porticostory ‘s amazing team, and @studentsforlife ‘s brilliant staff! Because of all of us working together, we were able to enlighten people on the disastrous affects of the chemical abortion pill (it’s in our water supply 🤮) and expose the lie that abortion is pro-woman.

As President of @sfl.mtsu I’m honored to stand for life, make an impact on MTSU’s campus, start the conversation, and to share pregnancy resources with women who are considering abortion. Abortion is never the answer! Life is a precious gift from God that should not be destroyed! Check @sfl.mtsu ‘s bio for free, confidential pregnancy resources!

I stand for Life because I am determined to carry forth @charliekirk1776 ‘s legacy; I stand for life because I know it is the right thing to do. Will you?

We are Charlie’s legacy.

@tpusa_mtsu had the honor of being TN’s only chapter leaders at UVU for Freedom: Built To Last, Honoring Charlie Kirk. I got to see some of my favorite people in Utah like @michaeljknowles , @reformation.red.pill.podcast , @drfrankturek , @mikey.mccoy , @delsypher , @havanajdavison , and @anneelizabethmetcalf ! I absolutely love the TPUSA staff and I’m so grateful for my exec! Everything we do could not be possible if not for them!

Utah is a beautiful place! We had a great adventure! Utah Valley University is a beautiful campus; it’s hard to believe such evil could take place there. Stepping foot on the place where Charlie died changed me. I want to live in a way that glorifies Jesus and in a way that honors Charlie. I miss him very much!

Onward.

Hey y’all! I wanted to let y’all know about an event @sfl.mtsu is hosting this Thursday, September 17, in the James Union Building’s Tennessee Ballroom from 6:00pm-9:00pm!! We will be hosting Students For Life Spokesperson @lydiataylordavis , @jadenheard , and Di Bell from Portico, Murfreesboro’s Local Pregnancy Resource Center for a Q&A on chemical abortion!

Many states have outlawed abortion and some have allowed full term abortions like Massachusetts. Sadly, chemical abortion is at an all time high in those states that have made abortion illegal like our home state Tennessee. It is so easy to get access to abortion pills; it’s harder to get piercings and tattoos than it is to get an abortion! Just ask @thomas._.dinkel ! Come to be equipped with truth, meet likeminded students and community members, and enjoy some free Kona Ice!

@chrismerkel_ , @raeganbecquet , and I will also be speaking!! We would love to have y’all!

The link to the Eventbrite will be in my bio! Thank you and God bless you!!

@tpusa_mtsu had an awesome time tabling at the TN State fair, checking over 40 voter statuses this month! We are doing the work to shine the light on the importance of voting. It was amazing to run into our fellow Tennesseans and @turningpointusa family members @rileygbarker and @kaitlynnwheelerr !

TN has an extremely important coming up! Have you registered to vote? Check your voter status with www.tpusastudents.com/vote ! Please use my name in the referred by section!

It was so awesome running into @drewparkerplays ! I’m a big fan of his work! He is a prolific songwriter, writing songs for some of my favorite artists @hardy and @lukecombs !

I recognized him by his sick @yeeyeeapparel hat! I love my @yeeyeeapparel ! My wristbands that I wear almost daily are from YEE YEE. One says “Christ is King” and the other says “9941”! Jesus would leave the 99 saved for the lost 1 to bring the lost sheep back home! (Matthew 18:10-14).

I first met Drew at a TPUSA donor event hosted by @joshthifault !

While @turningpointusa is non-partisan, meaning we do not endorse any party or political candidate, I would like to thank Senator Mark Pody for giving us a place to table at the state fair! We are so grateful for him! We got to meet @_morganharter_ and have had an amazing time hanging out with her this past week! Morgan is the President of @tpusaue and @uestudentsforlife and works for @markpody1 in her personal time!

The @prageru @freedom250 truck was AWESOME!!!! I’m grateful to have spent most of this past week with @tpusa_mtsu VP and one of my best friends, @chrismerkel_ ! taken in Wilson County Fair - TN State Fair by @jacksonswafford
