    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?

    The WallBuilders Show - The Rise Of Jew Hatred - with Michele Bachmann

    A 70% jump in Jew hatred incidents in just a few years, an 83% rise in physical assaults, and a 707% surge on college campuses is not a headline we can shrug off. We sit down with former Congresswoman and Regent leader Michele Bachmann to trace what’s driving the escalation, why it’s showing up even among kids from solid schools, and how social media misinformation can shape beliefs before facts ever get a hearing. We also tackle a common trap: the claim that supporting Israel means endorsing everything Israel does. Scripture itself contains sharp critiques of Israel when Israel rejects God’s ways, so honest evaluation is not betrayal. Michele walks us through the biblical foundation for Christian support for Israel, from Genesis and the call to pray for the peace of Jerusalem to the stakes of Romans 9–11, and we address replacement theology and the Jewish roots of Christianity that many people forget. Then we zoom out to the modern “narrative war” and the influence pipelines aimed at young audiences, including major funding, media shaping, and campus pressure that can make lies feel like consensus. We close with practical next steps and trusted resources, including Regent’s Israel Institute and Michele's new show, Israel Live with Michele Bachmann, designed to bust myths with data and context. If you care about a biblical worldview, antisemitism in America, and helping the next generation think clearly, listen, share this conversation, and subscribe for more. After you listen, will you leave a review and tell us what argument you’re hearing most often from friends or family? Support the show

    Focus on the Family with Jim Daly - Discovering Why God Made You

    The late Steve Farrar invites listeners to consider life not as an accident, but as a purposeful design rooted in God’s sovereign plan. Beginning with God rather than self, he uses Scripture to show that every life is intentionally formed, spiritually awakened by faith, and prepared in advance for meaningful good works. Through trials, growth, and obedience—including a call to sexual purity — Dr. Farrar underscores that God’s wisdom can be trusted, offering deep comfort and direction for a blessed, purpose-filled life.
