Lives 1st

  My previous email, Discovering the First Truth Claim in the Bible , focused on Genesis 1:1-2. It introduced the first Truth Claim in the Bible : There is only one Elohim .

  Did you know that the first story in Genesis is about “ The Creation of the Creator’s Temple and Kingdom ?” How did we discover this?

Kirk had 5.2 million followers on X and hosted The Charlie Kirk Show, a podcast and radio program that reached more than 500,000 listeners each month. His Instagram account had 6,857,641 followers.
