At Charlie Kirk’s public memorial in Arizona, his widow Erika urged mourners to “mark your soul again and again” through daily choices for Christ, quoting Charlie’s journal about how each decision leaves a mark on the soul. Timmerie guides you through Erika’s faith-filled call to prayer, Scripture, Sunday worship, and perseverance under trial. What happened at the memorial The tribute took place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday, September 21, 2025. You might have seen Erika’s address, which many described as the most moving moment of the day. Her message centered on grace, forgiveness, and a life set apart for God. The heart of Erika’s message, as Timmerie highlights Timmerie zeroes in on a small, potent line from Charlie’s journal that Erika read aloud: “Every time you make a decision, it puts a mark on your soul.” From that seed, Erika invited people to "choose Christ again and again. Pray again. Read Scripture again. Go to Sunday Mass again. Break from the shackles of sin. She reminded everyone that discipleship is hard, and that Jesus promised the cross, not comfort. Timmerie then connects Erika’s call to the sacramental life. When good choices bring us close to Christ, we stay grafted to the Vine. When sin stains the soul, Confession restores us. This is classic Catholic spirituality: repeated acts that train love and form the will. And it is for every state of life, not only for public figures like Charlie Kirk. “Mark your soul” in Catholic terms -Prayer each day. Short prayers through the day keep the heart near God. -Scripture each day. The Gospels shape our choices and our speech. -Sunday worship every week. We keep the command – we receive the Lord. -Confession as needed. Grace wipes the stain and strengthens resolve. -Small sacrifices often. Love costs. The cross is our sign. Erika’s counsel matches time-tested Catholic practice. It turns grief into intercession, it turns shock into witness, and it builds a community that helps new believers grow. Here are some practical things you can do this week to practice holiness: -Welcome the seeker next to you at Mass. -Invite one person to pray with you this week. -Make the sign of the cross before meals – in public – with quiet courage. -Choose the good again. Then choose it again tomorrow. The saints made saints. That is how grace spreads – it starts with one small choice that leaves one clear mark on one willing soul.

Image via Sathyam_19 / Shutterstock. What did Charlie Kirk want his legacy to be about? His work? His mission? His family? Timmerie shares a powerful reflection on what Charlie Kirk himself once said he wanted to be remembered for. In an interview not long before his tragic death, the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was asked how he hoped people would remember him. His answer was simple yet striking: “I want to be remembered for courage for my faith.” Timmerie reminds you that courage isn’t the absence of fear – it’s acting in spite of fear. Whether it was launching Turning Point as a teenager, debating on hostile college campuses, or defending life and family in the public square, Charlie prayed before each appearance: “God, use me for your will.” His refusal to compromise on truth showed the kind of conviction that shaped both his public witness and private devotion. Timmerie mentions that Charlie's greatest joy wasn’t found in politics or fame, but in family. He often encouraged young women not to sacrifice marriage and motherhood for career ambition, and he delighted in sharing stories of his little daughter running to hug him after long days on the road. He and his wife had just celebrated her third birthday shortly before his death. Charlie Kirk’s legacy reaches beyond politics. He saw his mission as fighting for the soul of America, shaping hearts and minds toward faith, truth, and life. His prayerful dependence on God and his devotion as a husband and father reveal a man striving to live with fortitude even in the face of fear. Charlie died the way he lived – committed to truth, unafraid of opposition, and rooted in faith. His life poses a question for all of us: do we have the courage and fortitude to say, like Samuel, “Here I am, Lord, use me for your will”?

Timmerie shares a powerful story about traveling with her newborn son and being asked a surprising question: “Miss, is he expensive?” That moment opened the door to a bigger reflection – what does it really cost to raise children, and what actually matters most in parenting? Cultural headlines claim it takes nearly $29,000 a year to raise a young child, but Timmerie challenges that myth. She explains that raising kids doesn’t require luxury strollers, designer nurseries, or endless activities. Instead, the true “cost” of children is not money – it’s the gift of time, presence, and love. Parenthood is about embracing the sacrifice and joy of raising children with faith, generosity, and simplicity. She also brings up how raising kids is a visible witness to others. Whether your children are peacefully sleeping in a carrier or throwing a tantrum in the grocery store, the way we live parenthood can make it look approachable – or impossible – to a world that is increasingly unfamiliar with family life. For Catholics, this is also a chance for quiet evangelization, showing that family life is not only doable but beautiful, even in its hardest moments. Timmerie reminds you that what really matters in raising children is not the dollars in the bank but the quality of our presence, the discipline we lovingly provide, and the sacramental life we share with them. Marriage and parenthood, she says, is the boldest risk of our age – and the most rewarding.

On this episode of Trending with Timmerie, guest host Brooke Taylor brings on Fr. Dave Heney to talk all about forgiveness. You can listen to the entire hour on this topic here. Fr. Dave jumps right in, saying that forgiveness isn’t just something “nice” we should do—it’s absolutely central to living a joyful life. We all get hurt, he says, and if we don’t learn how to handle that pain, it can end up running our lives. What most people want when they’re hurt is to “get even,” but as Fr. Dave explains, you can never actually even the score. That cycle of hurt just keeps spiraling until someone is crushed under it. It's not a good way to live! He then unpacks Jesus’ famous words: “turn the other cheek” and “love your enemies”—verses you might struggle to understand. Fr. Dave explains that it’s not about ignoring the pain or pretending it didn’t happen. It’s about knowing your dignity comes from God, not from the person who insulted or hurt you. And when we’re anchored in that, we can let go of revenge. What’s beautiful is how he separates forgiveness from reconciliation. Forgiveness is an instant decision — “I’m not going to hurt you back.” Reconciliation, though, is a process that takes time. It’s exactly what happens in confession: you stop the harm, admit what you did, promise to change, and try to make things right. A listener, Hannah, calls in asking what to say to friends who were abused as kids and are now struggling with that trauma. Fr. Dave answers with so much tenderness—he says one powerful path to healing is helping others. When someone who was hurt steps into helping or ministry, they reclaim strength and purpose that abuse tried to steal. And, of course, he affirms how important counseling can be when wounds run deep. Brooke also reminds us of all the saints who lived out this radical forgiveness—saints like Maria Goretti and St. Bakhita—showing us the way back to Christ. Yes, forgiveness is hard—but it’s possible, and you are never walking through it alone.

Timmerie shares a sense of awe and joy at the incredible increase in Catholic conversions happening globally... especially in places like France, the U.S., and the U.K. We’re talking up to 70% increases in some dioceses! The Diocese of Fort Worth, Texas had a whopping 72% jump in conversions from 2023 to 2024. Most of these new Catholics are Gen Z and millennials. Yep... young adults in their 20s and 30s are filling the pews and receiving the sacraments like never before. Why the Shift? Culture, COVID, and the Call of Beauty Timmerie mentions interviews from The New York Post, where recent converts shared what drew them to the Church. Themes like: -A deep dissatisfaction with the "feel-good" culture of non-denominational churches -A hunger for reverence, beauty, and structure, especially found in the Mass and its ancient tradition -The disorienting chaos of the world during the pandemic, which made people pause and re-examine their faith. Take Sydney Johnson, a 30-year-old from California. The hustle culture had her burned out. During COVID, she slowed down, turned to prayer, and was captivated by the depth and order of the Catholic tradition. Same for Adrian Lawson, also 30, who struggled with mental health until the Rosary and Catholic community gave him a new lease on life. He said, "Since I started praying the Rosary and converted, I haven't had any of those issues." Lost in the World, Found in the Church A New York priest, Fr. Raymond La Grange, echoed a powerful point: young people are realizing the world can't give them what they're looking for. Everything is arbitrary, and that’s exhausting. They crave something solid, something with order, and they want something real. The Movement Goes Global And it’s not just the U.S. In France, over 10,000 adults converted this Easter alone, a 45% increase... with nearly half aged 18 to 25. Another 7,400 teenagers received the sacraments, up 33%. In the U.K., 41% of young adult churchgoers are now Catholic, compared to just half that being Anglican. Timmerie even heard from French priests and sisters, many from the Community of St. John, who said some conversions are even coming secretly from Islam, with people risking everything to follow Christ. The sisters emphasized that, even in secular and anti-religious environments, God is still calling hearts, and people are responding. Evangelization Is Working... And We’re All Part of It A French sister told Timmere that this surge is happening because people are evangelizing boldly: sharing the Gospel, standing for truth, inviting others into the Church. That’s our mission too. People are yearning for something more... something whole, transcendent, and healing. The Catholic Church offers exactly that.

So, get this... Timmerie shares that Pope Leo has had an excellent workout routine. His trainer had no idea this humble, smiley, modest guy showing up a few times a week was even a Cardinal, let alone about to become the Pope. This whole situation made Timmerie pause and ask: “Am I taking care of my body?” “Are you?” We’re Body and Soul. God didn’t just make us spiritual beings; He made us embodied souls. The Pillars of Self-Care (According to Timmerie) She breaks it down to four non-negotiables for basic human thriving, backed by science and super doable: Sleep Get eight hours a night. Hormones and brain function need it. Food = Fuel Start tracking protein. Your ideal body weight = your daily protein grams. E.g., goal weight: 150 lbs → eat 150g protein/day. This curbs hangry-snacking and helps you feel full, stable, and energized. Sunlight Aim for 15–30 mins of sun a day, even if it’s just working on your laptop outside. Sun helps with vitamin D, sleep cycles, stress, and mood. Exercise Pope Leo did it 2–3x/week (before becoming the Pope). You can too. Minimum goal: 30 mins, 3x/week. Ideal: Something daily, even if it’s just 15 minutes. Whether it's walking, dancing, lifting random Amazon gear you forgot you owned, or following some quirky YouTube routine; you don’t need a gym membership. You just need a plan. Spiritual Mic Drop from Timmerie: "God created our bodies. He knows what they need. So, let’s stop starving them of sleep, nutrition, light, and movement... and start treating them like the temples they are." And hey... next time you’re exercising, maybe offer it up for the Pope. He’s probably doing the same. Want more life-giving Catholic content? Check out Relevant Radio +. There's no cost, it's ad-free, and it's streaming everything from the Daily Mass to the Rosary.

Timmerie is talking about a trend that’s turning heads and raising eyebrows: Gen Z gals (we’re talking late teens to late 20s) dating men decades older. It’s Not Just About the Money (But Also… Kinda) Timmerie sits down with Jim O’Day, Executive Director of Integrity Restored, to unpack this cultural phenomenon. It’s complicated. Here’s what they think might be at play: -Some Gen Z women don’t want to hustle. Burnout is real. Years of soccer practices, AP classes, and pressure to achieve has left them ready to say: “Sir, take me to a restaurant and pay for the charcuterie.” -The financial comfort older men bring isn’t the only thing, but it’s definitely part of the attraction. Free dinners? Vacations? Yeah, that helps. Emotional Stability One of Jim’s friends is dating a woman 25+ years younger, and when asked why, she said: “He’s emotionally stable. He does what he says he’s going to do. He makes plans.” Older men, in many cases, are less glued to their phones, actually know how to have a conversation, and don’t ghost when life gets slightly inconvenient. Some Gen Z guys, meanwhile, are struggling with timidity, fear of real-life interaction, and a failure to launch. Daddy Issues or Dating Wisdom? Let’s be honest... there’s some truth to the idea that some of these girls are looking for a father figure. Not in a weird way, but in a “I never saw a man treat women with respect so I’m craving that” kind of way. But Timmerie and Jim caution us: it’s not all sweet. With big age gaps come: -Power imbalances -Life-stage mismatches (think: he’s planning retirement and she’s picking out throw pillows from the store) -Cultural confusion (she doesn’t know his music, his political history, or what dial-up internet was) The Spiritual Dimension Let’s not forget... spiritual mentorship is key here. These young women are often searching for good men, virtue, and leadership. And those are beautiful desires! But they don’t always need to be fulfilled through dating. Timmerie suggests: -Healing and discernment in friendship and faith -Mentorship from mature men and women (not romantic!) -And yes, a reminder that Jesus is the true Bridegroom

Timmerie just went there in this episode of Trending with Timmerie. She takes you into the world of Botox, plastic surgery, and our sometimes-awkward relationship with the mirror… and she does it with reverence and realism. Wait, Baby Botox is a Thing?! Yes. Yes, it is. And it's popular with teens and 20-somethings. Baby Botox = smaller doses of Botox to “start early” and prevent wrinkles. It’s now basically a rite of passage for some young adults… which is sad. What’s Really Behind the Needle? Timmerie challenges us to ask the why: -Why are we doing this? -Why do we feel not enough? -Why is our value so tied to how we look? She connects it to something deeper: the rise of body dysmorphia and our cultural obsession with changing what God already made good. Botox and surgeries don’t fix the real issue. Celebrity Regrets Tons of stars are now regretting their cosmetic tweaks: -Cameron Diaz: “I’d rather see my face aging than one that doesn’t belong to me.” -Kylie Jenner: Started procedures at 19, now says she hopes her daughter doesn’t. -Ariana Grande: Quit Botox/fillers because it felt like hiding. The wisdom from these women: Aging gracefully isn’t shameful. It’s authentic. Even Kids Aren’t Safe from the Pressure Brace yourself: Someone actually told Timmerie she should teach her little daughter not to be so expressive... because of future wrinkles. If that’s not a sign that our culture needs prayer, what is? Botox ≠ Harmless Think Botox is NBD? Think again. Timmerie points out: -Long-term use paralyzes muscles. -Some users are developing autoimmune issues and allergic reactions. -And yes; it’s a literal toxin being injected into your face. What the Church Says: Beauty, Body, and Limits She pulls in wisdom from the USCCB's 2023 doctrinal note on the moral limits of tech and bodily manipulation. Key truths: Our bodies are good. Treating them like something we can endlessly “fix” or “upgrade” breaks down that truth. We’re body and soul, made in God's image... and messing with that order has spiritual consequences. So, Where Do We Go From Here? Here’s Timmerie’s loving (but bold) call to action: -Reclaim body literacy; know and understand your body. -Celebrate natural aging; your laugh lines are signs of joy! -Talk to your kids about where their worth comes from. -Root your identity in God, not filters and fillers. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, even if your face moves when you laugh. You don’t need injections to be beautiful. You need to see yourself the way God does. And that, friend, doesn’t come in a syringe. This episode is for anyone who’s ever looked in the mirror and sighed. You’re not alone. But let’s not let the world define beauty; let’s let the Creator do that. Wrinkles are not the enemy. Lies about our worth are.
