    The WallBuilders Show - Washington And The Town Destroyer Name

    “Town Destroyer.” It sounds like a verdict, and for a lot of people it becomes instant proof that George Washington was a monster. We take that claim head-on and rebuild the story from the ground up, starting with what the Seneca title meant in its own cultural setting and why the nickname is tied to the Washington family before the Revolution even begins. From there, we zoom out to the bigger issue: how modern ideology can turn history into a single, predictable script where one side is always innocent and the other side is always guilty. The American Revolution does not fit that mold. We talk through the Iroquois Confederacy and its internal split, why tribal alliances shifted between Britain and the Americans, and why it matters that many Native nations fought alongside Washington and provided intelligence, troops, and scouting that shaped the war. We also confront the brutal reality of frontier warfare, including raids and massacres that targeted civilians, and we explain why Washington’s 1779 order to General Sullivan is presented as a response aimed at enemy villages involved in repeated attacks. You may still wrestle with the morality of what happened, but you will at least be working with the whole timeline instead of a slogan. Then we switch gears to a question we hear all the time: if the founders were influenced by Christianity, why doesn’t the US Constitution quote the Bible? Our answer is federalism. We compare the federal Constitution’s purpose to the Declaration’s purpose, and we point listeners to state constitutions that openly required belief in God and shaped who got sent to national office.

    Going Rogue with Lara Logan - THE IRS LIES TO ITS OWN COMPUTERS with Joe Banister | Going Rogue with Lara Logan | Sponsored

    Former Special Agent Joe Banister Exposes the Fake 1040-A and how the IRS allegedly fabricates computer codes to create fraudulent tax assessments against individuals who never filed returns. Banister, who resigned from the IRS in 1999 after concluding most Americans aren't legally required to pay federal income tax, shares his personal battle against the agency, including a criminal prosecution that ended in acquittal. He also discusses constitutional arguments surrounding the 16th Amendment and income tax, directing listeners to his website, agentfortruth.com, for further evidence.

    The WallBuilders Show - When Trials Turn Into Training - with Tom Mullins

    A deal that looked like a six-week nightmare turns into a celebration and a long-term mission. We walk you through the moment Patriot Academy closes on 40 cottages that will house students, pastors, veterans, and leaders for years to come, and we talk honestly about what it feels like to stare down a deadline and watch God turn stress into momentum. If you care about Christian leadership, civic education, and building institutions that last, this story will hit home. From there, we pivot into American history you probably didn’t learn in school. Tim shares the jaw-dropping account of Revolutionary War patriot Samuel Whittemore, an 80-year-old veteran who takes on British soldiers alone, survives the impossible, and still tries to reload. It’s more than a wild story. It’s a reminder that courage and conviction are muscles, and a nation forgets who it is when it forgets what it did. Then Pastor Tom Mullins joins us to unpack his new book, Grandpa’s Wisdom: Unlocking the Secrets of a Victorious Life. We talk about “no traffic jams on the second mile,” why excellence matters in every assignment, and how integrity protects you when pressure rises. Along the way we connect biblical principles to practical habits that strengthen families, churches, and communities. If you enjoyed the conversation, subscribe to the podcast, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find these faith-and-culture conversations.

    The WallBuilders Show - Why Midterm Turnout Matters For Your Freedom

    Staying home feels like a protest until you realize who benefits from your silence. We sit down as Rick Green, David Barton, and Tim Barton to talk through the midterm election with a biblical worldview, a clear-eyed political strategy, and a deep concern for the future of America’s constitutional republic. If you’ve ever thought, “Both parties are corrupt” or “My vote won’t matter,” we challenge that instinct and explain why disengagement doesn’t send the message you think it sends. We wrestle with the reality that general elections are often a binary choice between imperfect candidates, and we argue that your vote isn’t a Valentine for someone you adore. It’s a chess move that helps decide what kind of culture gets promoted, what laws get prioritized, and whether destructive ideas gain ground. We dig into concrete stakes that rarely make headlines: judicial confirmations, cabinet and agency appointments, and how a shift in congressional power can stall reforms for years. We also address frustration with stalled legislation and point out why a small number of lawmakers can block progress, and why the answer is better turnout, better primaries, and better training for future candidates. Finally, we connect civic engagement to biblical stewardship, using the parable of the talents as a sobering reminder that burying what we’ve been entrusted with has real consequences. If this conversation sharpened your thinking, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people hear it. What’s one practical step you’ll take to help someone else vote?
