A popular New York City pastor believes that the tragic assassination of conservative and Christian commentator Charlie Kirk has sparked something truly surprising: revival.

“Anytime society goes into a desperate state — and I think we’ve been there for years — this desperation is increasing financially, economically. We’re feeling it, but also within our families: people … start looking for answers,” Mike Signorelli, pastor of V1 Church, told “God Country and the American Story.”

Mr. Signorelli, author of the new book, “Fire Starters: Igniting Revivals and Sustaining Spiritual Awakening,” said this search for answers amid the chaos is leading many to discover Christianity. On the first Sunday after Mr. Kirk’s killing, the pastor’s church saw 533 people embrace the Christian faith.
