Rush Limbaugh died a few days ago at the age of 70 and many Christian conservatives have mourned his death. Growing up in a family with very strong conservative views and an even stronger faith in God, Rush Limbaugh was a person I often listened to in the car when K-Love was not being played over the radio. He was one of the founding members of talk-shows that tried to combine a religious and political perspectives. Limbaugh expressed his faith quite often on his show even saying this on one of his last days of his show, “I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is of immense value, strength, confidence and that’s why I’m able to remain fully committed to the idea that what is supposed to happen will happen when it’s meant to.”
His influence was felt by the former administration as well. Former President Donald J. Trump gave Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2020, during which time he received a standing ovation for all of his work.
His influence has had a lasting impact on me as well as many others. His work led me to other Christian talk shows such as Sean Hannity, Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan. These individuals have been very important in my own faith and political alignments. It is with a heavy heart I pray for Rush Limbaugh’s family as they go through this difficult time, but I hope they remember God is still with them and they will see Rush again so long as they are Christians themselves.
