After Wednesday's tragic killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, we talk with Alisa Childers about lament and how to process the events. How can we continue to dialogue with others when you disagree? Then we talk about Alisa's dad, Chuck Girard. He was a pioneer in the world of contemporary Christian music before contemporary Christian music existed. We'll salute the life, ministry and music of Chuck, who passed away a month ago. Don't miss the program on Chris Fabry Live.
