The WallBuilders Show

What if the entire arc of American freedom hinges on where we say rights come from? We take you inside a spirited, timely conversation that ties together the founders’ reliance on prayer, the moral sequence of life before liberty, and the hard economics of why voluntary exchange creates wealth while coercion destroys it. This isn’t a history lecture; it’s a practical roadmap for evaluating candida...

If you care about why some nations flourish while others stall, this conversation puts real substance behind the answer. We dig into the ideas that anchor a free people—rights that don’t come from a vote, limits that bind power, and a moral center that turns law into trust. With former Congressman Bob McEwen, we connect those foundations to the everyday things we take for granted: GPS in your pock...

A governor’s Christmas proclamation that actually says what Christmas is about. A president joking with kids about cookies while thanking service members. Federal agencies quietly restoring room for faith at work and school. The start of 2026 comes packed with moments that reveal where conviction and culture meet—and why it matters. We open with Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ proclamati...

New year, new habit: let’s make this the year we actually learn how freedom works. We kick things off by swapping stale timelines for stories that stick—showing why kids (and adults) fall in love with history when they meet real people first and fit the dates around character and consequence. From Abigail Adams to George Washington Carver, narrative turns rote facts into insight, and it gives fami...

Giants don’t only live on battlefields. They show up in our homes, our timelines, and our headlines—and that’s why this new animated musical about David is landing like a thunderclap for families. We sit down with Brian Stivale, the voice of Samuel, to explore how a film can be both wildly entertaining and spiritually grounding without pretending to be a verse-by-verse commentary. We share why the...

A frontline ally says it needs to win, and we’re told to tell them not to. That tension sits at the heart of our conversation with Michelle Bachmann as we unpack Israel’s campaign in Gaza, the daily grind of terror, and the cost of stopping short under international pressure. We dig into why “no partner for peace” isn’t a slogan but a strategic reality when Hamas rejects statehood in favor of anni...

A quiet holiday reset gives way to a hard question: when should America act to stop mass killing abroad? We sit down with Rudy Atala, Deputy Senior Director of Counterterrorism at the National Security Council, to unpack the U.S. strike that rattled ISIS-linked militants and Fulani warlords in Nigeria’s north. Rudy explains how years of targeted violence against Christians escalated, why Nigeria’s...

Christmas may be over, but we’re still counting the days with a grin—and counting the wins from a year that felt like a reset. We open with a culture-shifting story out of Washington: a packed, worship-forward Christmas show at the newly rebranded Trump Kennedy Center. Our guest, worship leader and pastor Charles Billingsley, takes us behind the scenes of how a six-week scramble turned into a sold...

A secret bag of gold. A midnight window. A bankrupt father praying his daughters won’t be sold. We trace the astonishing true story of Nicholas of Myra and watch how a third-century bishop became the world’s most recognizable giver. This isn’t a North Pole fairy tale; it’s a tour through persecution, courage, theology and tradition that formed the bedrock of Christmas as we know it. We start with...

A few notes of Christmas music set the scene, but the heart of this conversation is bigger than a holiday playlist. We look back on a year where gratitude turned into action: policy wins that reopened space for faith in schools, new training programs that doubled in size, and unexpected doors at the highest levels that accelerated long-laid plans. The throughline is simple and bold—He came—and bec...

Start with the hard truth: you can’t fix culture if you ignore the home. We sit down with Jack Brewer—former NFL captain turned fatherhood advocate—to unpack why the most stubborn problems in crime, education, and reentry trace back to one root issue: fatherlessness. Jack tells the story of growing up with an engaged dad while watching talented cousins fall into trouble, then connects those experi...

The line formed before sunrise, security opened, and the room filled until the fire marshal closed the doors—twice. That kind of turnout for an early-morning history session says something bigger is stirring. We dig into why people are chasing origins again as the 250th nears, and how a renewed appetite for primary sources, founding debates, and real context might shape the next chapter of civic l...

A clear moral voice is returning to the ranks. We break down a major shift inside the Pentagon that elevates chaplains from wellness facilitators back to pastors and shepherds—restoring the historic role that once helped cadets and warfighters wrestle with duty, restraint, and the ethics of lethal force. Drawing from George Washington’s orders and the just war tradition, we explain why spiritual l...

Rumors move fast; context moves truth. We kick off with a listener question about Alexander Hamilton and follow the paper trail from a single 1976 claim to the everyday realities of 18th‑century life. Sharing beds in crowded inns, the language of friendship in an older era, and the difference between primary sources and agenda-driven readings all change how the story lands. We also revisit the Rey...

What if the line between principled debate and platforming hate is clearer than we pretend? We open with a candid look at race-based redistricting and why history suggests party-aligned maps can yield broader representation without hard-coding race. From Reconstruction lessons to modern court battles, we trace how structural fairness boosts trust in elections while reducing zero-sum identity fight...

A light holiday intro gives way to a sharp, evidence‑driven conversation with Dr. Carol Swain about a problem many didn’t want to see coming: how identity politics and race‑based preferences helped create the space for a “new white nationalism.” Not the hooded caricature of the past, but an online‑networked movement animated by grievance and the perception of unequal rules. Carol walks us through...

A simple verse on a metal tag became a lifeline for an athlete facing fear—and later for countless service members heading into danger. We share how Kenny Vaughn’s Shields of Strength grew from a personal reminder into millions of replica dog tags carried by troops, firefighters, and police, and why a federal licensing policy suddenly put Scripture in the crosshairs. When an activist complaint cla...

A live nativity in America’s premier arts hall, a courtroom win that restores order in the nation’s capital, and a rare bipartisan rebuke of socialism—this is the kind of good news that actually moves the needle. We open with a surprise from Washington: the Kennedy Center hosting “Noel, Jesus Is Born,” complete with Scripture readings, a children-welcoming live nativity, and performances by respec...

What if the Founders didn’t reject the King James Bible at all—but rejected the politics that tried to own it? We open the archive and walk through the real story: why early American leaders printed Bibles in King James language while stripping the king’s name from the title page, how the Aitken Bible won congressional endorsement during the Revolution, and why Noah Webster’s 1833 update aimed to...

Culture is loud, busy, and bossy—and too often it sets the rules in our homes. We talk with Pastor Alan Jackson about a quiet rebellion built on three simple habits: read the whole Bible, reclaim a weekly family table, and make one-sentence prayer as normal as saying hello. No theatrics, no heavy programs—just clear steps that put Scripture back at the center, return authority to parents, and invi...

What if the rising chaos isn’t a detour but a diagnosis? We sit down with Pastor Alan Jackson to examine the “birth pains” rocking culture—October 7 and its aftermath, the eruption of antisemitism on elite campuses, and the widening gap between America’s Christian heritage and our present choices—and we ask a harder question: what actually holds when everything rattles. Alan lays out a clear case...

When the ground moves under your feet, what do you hold onto? We sit down with Pastor Alan Jackson at the Pro Family Legislators Conference to tackle a hard but hopeful thesis: the church is meant to shape culture, not drift behind it. With candor and care, we revisit how faith retreated from boardrooms, classrooms, and civic life—and why that retreat let rival worldviews set the terms. This isn’t...

A single court signal just shifted the ground beneath the midterms. We break down how the Supreme Court’s move to let Texas’s new congressional map proceed—on a 6–3 trajectory—could mark a turn away from race-based redistricting and toward a simpler, race-neutral standard. With filing deadlines here and margins razor-thin, even a handful of seats could decide whether a reform agenda advances or st...

Headlines move fast, but good policy starts with first principles. We open the toolbox—biblical clarity, historical evidence, and constitutional guardrails—to make sense of today’s most charged debates and to chart a path that actually improves lives. With Matt Staver of Liberty Counsel, we map how culture drifted from strong families to fragile norms, and then we show how to reverse course with c...

A single court order that barred a 12-year-old from church. A split jury that left Kim Davis with a six-figure judgment. A growing wave of state moves to protect conscience while testing the limits of federal marriage and gender rulings. We sat down at the Pro Family Legislators Conference with attorney Matt Staver of Liberty Counsel to trace how these flashpoints connect—and why the debate over m...
