Erika Kirk, the widow of late Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk, sat down with Fox News' Shannon Bream on "Fox News Sunday," opening up about how her relationship with God has evolved since her husband’s assassination in September.

Bream asked Erika Kirk what her conversations with God have been like in the months since her husband was killed.

"Quite frankly, they're kind of the same," she responded. "I've never questioned, ‘Why me?’ I always knew that my life was not just to be lived for me. We're here for such a greater purpose, and Charlie and I both knew that."

Erika Kirk added that the couple's shared faith in God and their drive to serve a greater purpose is "why Charlie built what he built."

"I talk to God, like I said, the same way: 'God, use me. God, heal my heart. You know my pain, you know the depths of my pain. Walk through this with me. Put the people in my path that will help heal me and guide me and direct me and keep me in lockstep with your will,'" she said.

Erika Kirk was named the CEO of TPUSA after her husband's death. As the new leader of the conservative organization, she said, "God's will" is her sole guiding light as she moves forward.

"I don't want anything outside of God's will. I do not," she said. "Anything outside of the jet streams of God's will, I will not even touch it with a 10-foot pole."
