FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Screwtape Letters Podcast Announces Its 2025 “Man of the Year,” Honoring Charlie Kirk and His Legacy
Scottsdale, AZ, Dec3rd, 2025 — The Screwtape Letters Podcast: Confronting Evil in Our Time has announced its 2025 Man of the Year, selecting commentator and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk for the profound influence the hosts say he had on people’s lives, work, and ministry.
Ian and Galen reflect on Kirk’s national impact, personal character, and public leadership. They credit his “unwavering Christian conviction,” “discipline,” and “willingness to confront destructive ideas head-on” as central to his legacy. The hosts describe Kirk as a figure who “shaped countless people through his faith, courage, and commitment to truth.”
Quoting C. S. Lewis, “Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.” The hosts frame their tribute as a call for listeners to live boldly in an increasingly challenging cultural environment.
In their podcast episode announcement, Ian and Galen recount Kirk’s career, including his founding of Turning Point USA, his rapid rise to national visibility, and his role as a prominent Christian voice in political and cultural debates. They also discuss the public reaction to his passing and note that some supporters dispute the term “assassinated,” expressing their own belief that Kirk was “murdered,” targeted for what he stood for.
The episode concludes with a reading from the dedication of their new book, Confronting Evil in Our Time, available now on Amazon. The hosts share how Kirk’s example shaped both the message and urgency of the book, expressing hope that his influence will embolden listeners “to live faithfully, courageously, and without compromise.”
In addition, the episode highlights a commemorative Martyr’s Red wine project, created in partnership with Homecoming Winery, with proceeds supporting Turning Point USA.
As the Christmas season approaches, the hosts encourage listeners to reflect on Kirk’s life, draw inspiration from his convictions, and continue the mission he championed.
