“It’s really encouraging for me to just see the pure raw numbers of it because you can feel it. There’s been so many stories and so many people coming to us, sending us emails,” he said. “You can see in the comments on social media that Charlie has re-inspired my faith.

“And then they hear about how he lived his life or loved Erica, his wife, or his children, and they realize there’s real wisdom here and there’s a future and a purpose for them. So it’s amazing to see.”
