Prior to his speech in Tokyo, Japan, he was advised not to discuss Christianity publicly due to the country&#8217;s religious landscape. Despite this, Kirk openly proclaimed his faith during his address, emphasizing the importance of Jesus Christ. His stance was supported by his team, who highlighted his spontaneous sharing of the Gospel, which resonated positively with the audience.<\/p>\n<p>Kirk spoke at an event organized by sanseito,a Japanese political party advocating customary values and opposition to globalization,attended by over 1,200 participants. His messages focused on education, civic participation, and resisting globalist influences. Throughout his trip, Kirk maintained that faith is central to his identity and political activism.<\/p>\n<p>He also highlighted the past role of Christianity in American founding principles, quoting John Adams about the necessity of morality and religion. Kirk asserted that the foundation of liberty fundamentally relies on belief in Jesus Christ, a message he conveyed both in Japan and back home in the United States. He was committed to promoting Christian faith among Americans, founding Turning Point Faith to encourage this among youth.<\/p>\n<p>the event underscored Kirk&#8217;s unwavering commitment to his religious beliefs as integral to his worldview and activism,emphasizing that faith and morality are vital to national and personal liberty.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Some of Charlie Kirk\u2019s co-workers and friends said that he was advised, before he took the stage in Tokyo, Japan, last year, not to speak about Christianity. The event happened just days before he was assassinated in Utah.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/japan-forward.com\/charlie-kirk-in-tokyo-japanese-reflections-after-his-assassination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Japan Forward<\/a> reported that Kirk delivered a speech on Sept. 7, 2025, at an event organized by Sanseito, \u201ca political party that emphasizes traditional values, pride in history, and the overreach of globalization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore than 1,200 people attended the Tokyo gathering, where Kirk spoke on education, civic participation, and cooperation among movements critical of globalism,\u201d the outlet said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/president-trump-erika-kirk-expressed-different-equally-biblical-responses-charlies-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mikey McCoy<\/a>, Kirk\u2019s chief of staff and right-hand man at Turning Point, who accompanied him on the trip, posted Tuesday on X, \u201cOne of my favorite stories from our last night in Tokyo happened just before Charlie was supposed to take the stage. A local pastor pulled him aside and cautioned him about talking too much about Christianity: \u2018Japan is not\u2026particularly a Christian country.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, naturally, one of the first things Charlie did when he walked on stage was proclaim the name of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/jesse-watters-yearned-learn-jesus-christ-charlie-kirks-assassination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jesus Christ<\/a>. He told the crowd how important his faith was to him and made no attempt to water it down,\u201d McCoy recounted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd instead of getting upset or walking out, the crowd cheered. That was Charlie. It didn\u2019t matter what country he was in, who was in the audience, or whether proclaiming his faith was considered popular. He was never going to hide the most important part of who he was,\u201d Kirk\u2019s chief of staff concluded.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">One of my favorite stories from our last night in Tokyo happened just before Charlie was supposed to take the stage.<\/p>\n<p>A local pastor pulled him aside and cautioned him about talking too much about Christianity. \u201cJapan is not a particularly a Christian country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, naturally,\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5zXsDknATz\">pic.twitter.com\/5zXsDknATz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mikey McCoy (@Michael_McCoyy) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Michael_McCoyy\/status\/2097441055981572504?\">September 8, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/turning-point-crew-responds-netflix-features-grotesque-charlie-kirk-joke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blake Neff<\/a>, who co-hosts \u201cThe Charlie Kirk Show,\u201d concurred with McCoy\u2019s assessment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was one of Charlie\u2019s greatest moments. Charlie\u2019s original Japan speech draft had no references to Christianity \u2014 but Charlie always wanted to be preaching the Gospel, especially where it might be difficult. So just before he went on stage, we talked about the best way to include it, and Charlie executed the ad-lib effortlessly,\u201d Neff <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BlakeSNeff\/status\/2097472403253440860\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter speaking about the threats of globalism and mass immigration, Charlie challenged the people of Japan that only by believing in something eternal and transcendent would they be able to save their country,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven in the most unlikely situation, Charlie\u2019s last public speech included him proclaiming the Gospel. What a tremendous warrior for the faith he was!\u201d Neff said.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, in a video from the event, Kirk first broached the subject of faith, saying, \u201cI personally believe it was the hand of God that saved America from the forces of evil and darkness from taking over our civilization,\u201d referring to President Donald Trump\u2019s return to office and the Republicans controlling Congress, wresting it from the left-wing wokeness and lunacy seen during the Joe Biden years.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ty4SBs45-_8?si=wrFQjgejsamss6DF&#038;start=4125\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd for those of you that are involved in this political fight, I can tell you, things might get difficult.

It was wholly inadequate for the people of any other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kirk observed, \u201cThe body politic of America was so Christian, so Protestant, that our form and structure of government was built for people who believed in Christ, our Lord. One of the reasons we\u2019re living through a constitutional crisis is that we no longer have a Christian nation, but we have a Christian form of government, and they are incompatible. You cannot have liberty if you do not have a Christian population.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So Charlie\u2019s counsel to Japanese conservatives was the same as he gave in America: The true source of liberty is Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
