The man Charlie Kirk referred to as his pastor spoke exclusively with FOX 11 Wednesday night via Zoom from a hotel room in Utah.
"Charlie didn't die today; he began to truly live," said Pastor Rob McCoy. "His heart was secured in Jesus. That's what he professed and proclaimed. He had no fear of death. Every day he faced death threats from evil, and he was never afraid of that."
FOX 11 asked McCoy if Kirk had ever expressed concerns to him about the possibility of assassination.

Pastor Rob McCoy routinely had Kirk as a guest speaker at Godspeak C
