The political and religious landscape in the United States is changing, and this transformation will bring together partisan politics, American identity, patriotism, and religious activism. Turning Point USA is no longer operating solely as a campus-based conservative movement, but is positioning itself to become a central force shaping the national agenda leading up to the 250th anniversary of the United States.
Turning Point USA (TPUSA) and its affiliate TPUSA Faith are organizing the “Make Heaven Crowded Tour,” a religious tour scheduled for 2026. It is being promoted as a series of Christian revival, evangelism, and public policy discussion events, to be held in churches and other venues in various U.S. cities with the goal of revitalizing Christianity, uniting Evangelicals and Catholics, and generating new conservative voters.
Andrew Kolvet, spokesman for Turning Point USA and the executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Radio Show, expressed the following about the mission of the Make Heaven Crowded Tour 2026:
• “There’ s things that work and we know they work,’ says Kolvet. ‘The campus tours work. We’re going to launch a ‘Make Heaven Crowded’ TPUSA Faith tour — a revival tour all across the country,’ he said. Our role is very simple when it comes to faith. That there has been a lack of leadership in the public sphere from Christians. And that if we seed that ground, you create a vacuum that others are going to fill — and you’re not going to like their ideas nearly as much as other Christians and your own.” [1]
Pastor Lucas Miles, senior director of TPUSA Faith, explains the Make Heaven Crowded Tour in this way:
• “While TPUSA is openly mourning Kirk’s death, it’s also leveraging his story to rally Christian pastors and recruit voters. Miles told RNS (Religious News Service) that TPUSA Faith’s network jumped from 4,200 member churches prior to Kirk’s death, to 9,500, and is now planning a “Make Heaven Crowded Tour,” hosting faith events at churches in more than 25 cities.” [2]
Turning Point USA is not just calling for a revival of Christianity; it is actively working to recruit voters. Make no mistake—Turning Point’s strategy is focused on keeping key swing states red in both state and national elections while working to flip additional states. The organization’s objective is to secure and expand GOP control by deliberately using faith as a motivating force, claiming that political participation is a religious duty. This is how TPUSA is mobilizing voters and influencing the balance of power in the White House, the Supreme Court, the U.S. Senate, the House of Representatives, and even at the state and local levels.
During Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest 2025, high-ranking government officials and prominent speakers openly called for reaffirming the importance of preserving the nation’s Christian identity. On that same stage, JD Vance received an endorsement for a potential presidential run in 2028. Political leaders, religious figures, media personalities, and celebrities repeatedly spoke about the “war” against faith and Christianity, warning that these values are under threat in American society. The consistent message was that this conflict must be won by uniting believers, invoking God’s favor, and mobilizing citizens to act through the political process—particularly through voting—to secure electoral outcomes that align with their religious convictions.
What throws fuel on the fire of this so-called political-religious revival is that Turning Point USA’s national tour is inextricably linked to Charlie Kirk’s book and its push to bring back a Sabbath for the nation. You cannot separate TPUSA’s political activism from Charlie Kirk’s book, which calls for a collective Sabbath rest as the remedy to America’s moral decline. Let’s be clear: when they use the word “sabbath,” they are referring to Sunday, not the biblical seventh-day Sabbath.
This renewed focus on revitalizing Sunday rest in America, coupled with the Make Heaven Crowded Tour 2026, has the potential to bring the message of Sunday rest into the realm of politics, power, and enforcement—the very trajectory that Bible prophecy warns against. When political movements present religious revival as a national solution—and then unite that revival with state power and a mandated national day of rest—this evokes mark-of-the-beast language and imagery, revealing that prophetic events are accelerating with alarming speed.
