When Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10, something began happening across America that nobody planned and nobody saw coming.
Pastors who set out to host simple memorial services watched them turn into revivals. In one city, a church baptized 600 people in the fountain outside city hall. Young people who had never set foot in a sanctuary started showing up on Sunday mornings — including, in Portland, dental students from the University of New England who reportedly began attending services after Kirk’s death because they knew he was a Bible-believing Christian and wanted to find out what that meant.
That’s the backdrop for the latest episode of The Pastor’s Office Podcast, hosted by Pastor Travis from Portland, Maine.
This week, Pastor Travis sits down with Chip Moore, National Director of Pastoral Relations at TPUSA Faith, to talk about what’s happening, where it’s going, and what it means for Maine. Moore shares the story of Charlie’s memorial — a moment, in his words, where “the Spirit of God was so thick in that room you could cut it with a knife” — and the decision to launch the Make Heaven Crowded Tour out of it. He walks through the first stops at Pastor Greg Laurie’s church in Riverside and Pastor Jackson’s church in Tennessee, where thousands gathered, parking lots filled, and people fell to their knees before the events even started.
Moore also shares something more personal: dinners with Charlie just weeks before his death, and the prayer Charlie whispered backstage before every event — “Lord, here I am, use me.”
On Friday, May 15, the Make Heaven Crowded Tour comes to Portland.
The event will be held at the Portland Expo at 6:00 PM. It is free and open to the public. There will be worship and an incredible lineup of speakers! Organizers are encouraging Mainers and New Englanders — including those simply curious about what is unfolding nationally — to attend.
