Here are the TOP 10 UNBELIEVABLE things Glenn's audience did in 2023

Glenn has often said that his audience is the most generous in the world, and you have continued that legacy in 2023.

From Maui and Afghanistan to Israel and Armenia, this audience has helped countless men, women, and children all over the world. What YOU have done this year through your generosity is, as Glenn says, nothing short of miraculous. Here are ten extraordinary feats made possible by YOU.

Maui

This August, horrific wildfires raged across Maui, destroying the historic town of Lahaina along with thousands of acres of forest and claiming more than 100 lives. In response to this tragedy, which is now confirmed to be the deadliest wildfire in U.S. history, Glenn and Mercury One rallied the troops to support the Maui wildfire victims as they begin to heal and rebuild their lives. Through your support, Glenn's audience raised over $1.2 MILLION!

PreBorn

Long-time listeners of Glenn's show are familiar with PreBorn, a paid sponsor of the program. PreBorn is a pro-life organization that helps mothers in crisis pregnancies choose life by introducing them to their babies through free sonograms. Preborn also helps support mothers throughout their pregnancy up to two years after their baby is born. This year alone, PreBorn has saved over 28,000 babies from abortion.

Following Glenn's 40-day series on Biblical covenants, Glenn was inspired to commemorate his series by funding PreBorn for an entire 40 days. Glenn pledged the first $100,000, funding PreBorn for 20 days, and challenged his audience to raise the additional $100,000 for the following 20 days. This audience more than DOUBLED the $200,000 goal, saving thousands of babies and giving mothers hope.

Glenn is a collector of all things historical, as his long-time listeners know, and over the years he has amassed an incredible collection of artifacts and documents. Mercury One has started the intensive process of taking high-quality 3D scans of these artifacts to make them available to everyone. This includes invaluable pieces of American history such as the third-largest library of American founding documents, and the largest collection of documents from Jamestown, and the Pilgrims in the world. This is not light work, and it is only made possible with the generosity of Glenn's audience.

Nigeria

On April 30th of this year, Glenn and The Nazarene Fund launched a new mission in Nigeria known as Operation Lego. Operation Lego's primary objective is to collect irrefutable evidence and intelligence to target individuals and rings involved with the illicit trade of organ harvesting, human trafficking, child abduction and exploitation, baby factories, and ritual killings. This work has already led to the arrest of six human traffickers, the rescue and aftercare of 32 children, and the rescue of 15 pregnant women who were continually raped by their captors, who then killed their babies to sell their organs on the black market. This practice is referred to as "baby factories," and YOUR support is rescuing women and children from this evil industry.

Afghanistan

Currently, The Nazarene Fund is supporting 125 widows, children, and Christians in hiding within Afghanistan. This monthly support includes food and other necessary supplies. They are also supporting evacuations out of Afghanistan into safehouses in Pakistan, and from there into countries such as Brazil, Mexico, Germany, and Turkey for permanent resettlement. YOUR support has enabled the rescue and resettlement of these Christian families who are under constant threat from the Taliban.

Israel

After Hamas' October 7th terrorist attacks, The Nazarene Fund chartered a flight from Tel Aviv to Nashville to bring home US citizens trapped in the country while the Biden administration took weeks to bring American citizens home. The Nazarene Fund also provided funding for the relocation of six Israeli families to the U.S.

Iraq and Syria

This ongoing outreach is where The Nazarene Fund got its roots. In Syria, the Yazidi people are captured and kept as slaves in a giant prison camp called Al-hol. The Nazarene Fund locates and liberates prisoners from Al-hol and relocates them to Australia and Canada. Just this year alone, 190 people have been rescued from these terrible conditions.

Armenia

Since the conflict in Azerbaijani forces began targeting Armenians in the historically Christian and highly contested Nagorno-Karabakh region in September, Armenians have attempted to flee their historic homeland in droves, fearing for their lives. Over 100,000 people have fled the battlefield and areas of conflict, creating a desperate situation along the Armenian-Azerbaijan border. The Nazarene Fund is on the ground in Armenia assisting Christian families flee the carnage. So far they have successfully evacuated 127 individuals.

Asia

In Asia, The Nazarene Fund has Operation Renaissance, which is dedicated to assisting Christian families and other minority groups with food, medicine, and legal assistance across Asia. Operation Renaissance assisted over 1,590 Christian families fight against persecution and discrimination with cases including but not limited to kidnapping, workplace abuse, and sexual assault.

Around the world

With the generosity of this audience, The Nazarene Fund has been able to provide aid and support to people all over the world, including the evacuation of 180 Kurdish workers in June, $200,000 of emergency aid for the victims of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that rattled Turkey, safe houses for at-risk Yazidi women and their children fathered by ISIS fighters, and protection for former ISIS captives who are witnesses against ISIS for crimes against humanity proceedings.

The West is dying—Will we let enemies write our ending?

The blood of martyrs, prophets, poets, and soldiers built our civilization. Their sacrifice demands courage in the present to preserve it.

Lamentations asks, “Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?”

That question has been weighing on me heavily. Not just as a broadcaster, but as a citizen, a father, a husband, a believer. It is a question that every person who cares about this nation, this culture, and this civilization must confront: Is all of this worth saving?

We have squandered this inheritance. We forgot who we were — and our enemies are eager to write our ending.

Western civilization — a project born in Judea, refined in Athens, tested in Rome, reawakened in Wittenberg, and baptized again on the shores of Plymouth Rock — is a gift. We didn’t earn it. We didn’t purchase it. We were handed it. And now, we must ask ourselves: Do we even want it?

Across Europe, streets are restless. Not merely with protests, but with ancient, festering hatred — the kind that once marched under swastikas and fueled ovens. Today, it marches under banners of peace while chanting calls for genocide. Violence and division crack societies open. Here in America, it’s left against right, flesh against spirit, neighbor against neighbor.

Truth struggles to find a home. Even the church is slumbering — or worse, collaborating.

Our society tells us that everything must be reset: tradition, marriage, gender, faith, even love. The only sin left is believing in absolute truth. Screens replace Scripture. Entertainment replaces education. Pleasure replaces purpose. Our children are confused, medicated, addicted, fatherless, suicidal. Universities mock virtue. Congress is indifferent. Media programs rather than informs. Schools recondition rather than educate.

Is this worth saving? If not, we should stop fighting and throw up our hands. But if it is, then we must act — and we must act now.

The West: An idea worth saving

What is the West? It’s not a location, race, flag, or a particular constitution. The West is an idea — an idea that man is made in the image of God, that liberty comes from responsibility, not government; that truth exists; that evil exists; and that courage is required every day. The West teaches that education, reason, and revelation walk hand in hand. Beauty matters. Kindness matters. Empathy matters. Sacrifice is holy. Justice is blind. Mercy is near.

We have squandered this inheritance. We forgot who we were — and our enemies are eager to write our ending.

If not now, when? If not us, who? If this is worth saving, we must know why. Western civilization is worth dying for, worth living for, worth defending. It was built on the blood of martyrs, prophets, poets, pilgrims, moms, dads, and soldiers. They did not die for markets, pronouns, surveillance, or currency. They died for something higher, something bigger.

Yet hope remains. Resurrection is real — not only in the tomb outside Jerusalem, but in the bones of any individual or group that returns to truth, honor, and God. It is never too late to return to family, community, accountability, and responsibility.

Pick up your torch

We were chosen for this time. We were made for a moment like this. The events unfolding in Europe and South Korea, the unrest and moral collapse, will all come down to us. Somewhere inside, we know we were called to carry this fire.

We are not called to win. We are called to stand. To hold the torch. To ask ourselves, every day: Is it worth standing? Is it worth saving?

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Pick up your torch. If you choose to carry it, buckle up. The work is only beginning.

Stop coasting: How self-education can save America’s future

Coasting through life is no longer an option. Charlie Kirk’s pursuit of knowledge challenges all of us to learn, act, and grow every day.

Last year, my wife and I made a commitment: to stop coasting, to learn something new every day, and to grow — not just spiritually, but intellectually. Charlie Kirk’s tragic death crystallized that resolve. It forced a hard look in the mirror, revealing how much I had coasted in both my spiritual and educational life. Coasting implies going downhill. You can’t coast uphill.

Last night, my wife and I re-engaged. We enrolled in Hillsdale College’s free online courses, inspired by the fact that Charlie had done the same. He had quietly completed around 30 courses before I even knew, mastering the classics, civics, and the foundations of liberty. Watching his relentless pursuit of knowledge reminded me that growth never stops, no matter your age.

The path forward must be reclaiming education, agency, and the power to shape our minds and futures.

This lesson is particularly urgent for two groups: young adults stepping into the world and those who may have settled into complacency. Learning is life. Stop learning, and you start dying. To young adults, especially, the college promise has become a trap. Twelve years of K-12 education now leave graduates unprepared for life. Only 35% of seniors are proficient in reading, and just 22% in math. They are asked to bet $100,000 or more for four years of college that will often leave them underemployed and deeply indebted.

Degrees in many “new” fields now carry negative returns. Parents who have already sacrificed for public education find themselves on the hook again, paying for a system that often fails to deliver.

This is one of the reasons why Charlie often described college as a “scam.” Debt accumulates, wages are not what students were promised, doors remain closed, and many are tempted to throw more time and money after a system that won’t yield results. Graduate school, in many cases, compounds the problem. The education system has become a factory of despair, teaching cynicism rather than knowledge and virtue.

Reclaiming educational agency

Yet the solution is not radical revolt against education — it is empowerment to reclaim agency over one’s education. Independent learning, self-guided study, and disciplined curiosity are the modern “Napster moment.” Just as Napster broke the old record industry by digitizing music, the internet has placed knowledge directly in the hands of the individual. Artists like Taylor Swift now thrive outside traditional gatekeepers. Likewise, students and lifelong learners can reclaim intellectual freedom outside of the ivory towers.

Each individual possesses the ability to think, create, and act. This is the power God grants to every human being. Knowledge, faith, and personal responsibility are inseparable. Learning is not a commodity to buy with tuition; it is a birthright to claim with effort.

Charlie Kirk’s life reminds us that self-education is an act of defiance and empowerment. In his pursuit of knowledge, in his engagement with civics and philosophy, he exemplified the principle that liberty depends on informed, capable citizens. We honor him best by taking up that mantle — by learning relentlessly, thinking critically, and refusing to surrender our minds to a system that profits from ignorance.

The path forward must be reclaiming education, agency, and the power to shape our minds and futures. Every day, seek to grow, create, and act. Charlie showed the way. It is now our responsibility to follow.

If they thought the murder of Charlie Kirk would scare us into silence, they were wrong!

If anything, Turning Point will hit the road louder than ever. On Monday, September 22, less than two weeks after the assassination, Charlie's friends united under the Turning Point USA banner to carry his torch and honor his legacy by doing what he did best: bringing honest and truthful debate to Universities across the nation.

Naturally, Glenn has rallied to the cause and has accepted an invitation to join the TPUSA tour at the University of North Dakota on October 9th.

Glenn's daughter honors Charlie Kirk with emotional tribute song

MELISSA MAJCHRZAK / Contributor | Getty Images

On September 17th, Glenn commemorated his late friend Charlie Kirk by hosting The Charlie Kirk Show Podcast, where he celebrated and remembered the life of a remarkable young man.

During the broadcast, Glenn shared an emotional new song performed by his daughter, Cheyenne, who was standing only feet away from Charlie when he was assassinated. The song, titled "We Are One," has been dedicated to Charlie Kirk as a tribute and was written and co-performed by David Osmond, son of Alan Osmond, founding member of The Osmonds.

Glenn first asked David Osmond to write "We Are One" in 2018, as he predicted that dark days were on the horizon, but he never imagined that it would be sung by his daughter in honor of Charlie Kirk. The Lord works in mysterious ways; could there have been a more fitting song to honor such a brave man?

"We Are One" is available for download or listening on Spotify HERE
