Jenny McCarthy says Kirk’s death deepened her faith
Jenny McCarthy, the actor and former model, told host Alex Clark on the Dec. 11 episode of the Culture Apothecary podcast that the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk prompted a deepening of her Christian faith. McCarthy, who has long identified as a follower of Christ, said she “completely surrendered” to Jesus after the event and has become “so devoted.”
What she said on Culture Apothecary
On the podcast, McCarthy described a “very deep relationship with God” and used candid language about her spiritual life: “Jesus is my homie.” She said the aftermath of Kirk’s death left her “so broken,” praying and seeking healing, and ultimately led her to start Bible study immediately. McCarthy explained that tragic events can lead people to find good and move forward, and she pointed to a broader “mass awakening” that brought many people closer to God.

Faith, activism and personal history
McCarthy connected the spiritual shift to her long-standing activism. After her son was diagnosed with autism, she became a parental-rights advocate and has attributed parts of her journey to prayer and faith. She said she felt “the most godly energy” when researching recovery and promised to teach others how she helped her son while asking God to “lead me there.”
McCarthy also described embracing conservative values such as questioning authority and being “closer to God.” She said losing work over her anti-vaccine stance and experiencing threats have required courage—what she referred to as wearing the “armor of God.” She and husband Donnie Wahlberg, she said, have become more devout since Kirk’s passing, though the couple currently lives in different countries because of work.
Public reactions and social posts
Shortly after Kirk’s death, McCarthy shared a video of herself praising God to worship artist Kari Jobe’s song “The Blessing.” She said the late commentator’s work was “so good” and expressed frustration that many people had been fed “only one narrative” about him.

McCarthy also recommended the Duomo devotional app as part of her new routine.
Why it matters
For fans and observers, McCarthy’s comments offer a window into how public tragedies can affect private faith and public activism. Her account ties personal healing, religious devotion and political views together, and she frames the experience as both a personal surrender to Jesus and part of a wider spiritual response among those who knew or admired Charlie Kirk.
