Nearly a year following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Fox Nation is examining the profound ripple effects the killing had on Evangel Christian Academy, a private Christian high school in Louisiana. The academy’s football program and student body serve as the focal point of the third season of the streaming network’s reality series “God. Family. Football,” which premiered on Fox Nation with new episodes available on demand.
Head football coach and Pastor Denny Duron leads his team through the 2025 season while honoring Kirk, the leader of Turning Point USA who was killed. In the second episode, Duron reflects on Kirk’s impact and shares his own philosophy about using platforms to advance beliefs. “That young man was a young man I admired,” Duron states in the program. “I have used football as my platform to be able to speak the name of Jesus to the world, but he used politics.”
Following Kirk’s death, Duron addressed his players during practice, urging them to channel their emotions constructively rather than toward violence or hatred. He emphasized Christian teachings about forgiveness and compassion, telling the team that holding grievances contradicts core religious principles. The coach subsequently led the squad in a moment of silence dedicated to Kirk and requested prayers for global peace.
Classroom discussions also incorporated Kirk’s killing as a teaching moment. Offensive coordinator and civics instructor Kramer Hagan facilitated open dialogue with students about the assassination and its political implications. Hagan stressed the importance of respectful discourse while maintaining conviction in one’s beliefs, warning against dehumanizing those with differing viewpoints.
The football team navigated multiple significant challenges throughout the season beyond the political turbulence. Players and coaches dealt with a teammate battling leukemia and another facing a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis while preparing for district competition. The first three episodes of season three are currently streaming exclusively on Fox Nation for subscribers.
