The Gritty Gospel with Christy Young

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy: Training a Generation to Stand for Christ

September 10, 2025 will be remembered as a day many never expected: Charlie Kirk was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University.

In this episode of The Gritty Gospel, we wrestle with the uncomfortable questions: what does it mean to follow Christ when public voices are silenced, when violence is used to spread fear? And—how do we train our kids so they don’t shrink back in fear, but instead own their faith, stand firm, and boldly share the gospel?

We’ll be diving into:

✅ Charlie Kirk: his life, witness, legacy, and why his death demands our reflection

✅ How to help children process the news without fear or cynicism

✅ Practical tools to build a courageous faith in your kids

✅ Why now more than ever, Christians must stand unshaken in truth, love, and courage If you’re parenting, mentoring, or simply wanting to deepen your own faith in a world that’s growing loud with hostility, this is for you. Let’s not merely survive the noise—let’s live out the Gritty Gospel.

Stop Wasting Your Now

Your legacy isn’t built someday—it’s built right now. Every conversation, every act of love, every moment of obedience to God stacks up to tell the story of your life.

In this episode of Coffee Chats with Christy, we talk about living fully present and engaged in each moment, because how you live your “now” is the legacy you leave for your children and grandchildren.

Starting the Homeschool Year in Peace, Not Panic (Philippians 4:6-7)

The start of a new homeschool year can feel like a tidal wave of lesson plans, expectations, and self-doubt. But God has not called us to carry this burden alone.

In Philippians 4:6-7, we’re reminded to bring everything to Him in prayer—trusting that His peace will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to lay down the weight of overwhelm, trust the Lord with our fruitful work, and walk in His unshakable peace—no matter what the homeschool year throws at us. (Because with kids, it always goes sideways... :)

Let’s start this year not in fear, but in faith. Love you sister!

What if Modesty Isn't About Clothing?

Let’s be honest—modesty is one of those topics that triggers eye rolls, tension, or confusion. Especially for women. Is it just about covering up? Is it outdated? Or could God’s design for modesty be deeper—and more beautiful—than we’ve been told?

In this episode, we take a raw and biblical look at what modesty really means.

Spoiler alert: it’s not just about clothes.

We’re talking:

**Why modesty still matters today

**What the Bible actually says

**How to walk in it with conviction and confidence

Modesty has far more to do with the posture of your heart than the style of your wardrobe. It’s about humility, self-control, and a desire to glorify God—not self.

The goal isn’t legalism. The goal is holiness.

Your faith should shape every area of your life - your speech, what you watch, what you listen to, what you post on social media - and what’s hanging in your closet.

Let's dive in to God's word and learn and grow together!

I Love Jesus...But I Yelled at My Kids AGAIN!!

If you've ever ended the day with guilt, shame, and the lingering question, “Why do I keep messing this up?”—you’re not alone.

In this episode, we open up about the real tension between loving Christ and still battling the flesh, especially in motherhood. From peaceful Bible reading in the morning to losing your temper by lunchtime… how do we make sense of it?

The Apostle Paul put it this way in Romans 7: “I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.” Yep. That.

Let’s talk about what it means to follow Jesus in the mess, not just after it. You’ll walk away with grace, hope, and a reminder that your failures don’t disqualify you from being a faithful mom—they make you a real one.
