Over the past two weeks, Rev. Rob McCoy has since fallen into the headlines, as co-chair of Turning Point Faith made a strong statement at commentator Charlie Kirk’s memorial.

Kirk’s pastor McCoy told CBN News that “full peace” came to him after sharing a call for emphasis on salvation with millions.
“This is honest before the Lord, unlike anything I’ve ever experienced,” McCoy said. “For 61 years on this planet, perfect peace has come to me.”
Ultimately, he said the opportunity to honor Kirk at the monument was “perhaps one of the most amazing days” of his life.
Like many others, McCoy believes something is happening in the wake of Kirk’s murder.
“This is a resurrection, awakening, a resurrection,” he said. “I think Charlie is the most misunderstood missionary in Christendom.”
McCoy said that Kirk was “modern Moses” and told him who had forgotten the children of Israel had been enslaved in Egypt.
“Moses reeducates an entire generation of people who forget who they are,” he said. “Look, your God is the God of the universe. He created heaven and earth, and he created you, and created marriage.”
From there, ten commandments worked alongside marriage, civil and customary law. Moses guided these people for 40 years and helped them to show eternal truths. In some respects, McCoy sees similarities with Kirk’s mission in America.
“This is a re-education in America and awakened to these young people who were enslaved to university institutionalization camps across the United States, as they were the most free form of government ever designed on the surface of the globe,” McCoy said. “He awakens them to this of protecting freedom of speech, freedom of religion, they love him for it, and they kill him.”
McCoy said many of these young people today were guided to the truth by Kirk’s efforts.
“Charlie drove these children out of slavery,” he said. “He took them out.”
It’s an attractive juxtaposition. Many thought Kirk was primarily political, but McCoy painted another picture. He said that it would help Charlie “rows in the flow of freedom” and allow them to “come to the source that is Jesus Christ.”
“Charlie never concealed his Christian faith,” continued McCoy. “What appealed to so many young people was that Charlie was willing to go to places where the church was not, to go to public squares and compete for their future. The church had long abandoned their responsibility. They said, ‘Oh, I don’t do politics.’ ”
McCoy said Kirk believes politics is a “lamp to his relationship with God” and believes that Kirk’s death has made the church awaken to this reality.
As for the preacher, he lamented his friends and provided the public with a message of hope. Like many, he saw how Kirk’s clip went viral after his death, claiming that he had seen a posthumous clip of activists “more than ever in his lifetime.”
These videos, he believes, shapes and even alters Kirk’s scenery.
“All of a sudden they start to realize that this guy is really sweet and there’s something special about him,” McCoy said. “And you start to realize he’s an incredible citizen.”
McCoy said this has helped to change perceptions and promote interest in the gospel. Regarding Kirk’s legacy, the preacher said he had “that hope for the future.”
