The WallBuilders Show

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.

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.

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.

Common sense is showing up in places we did not expect, and that’s exactly why we love Good News Friday. We kick things off with a story that hits close to home for parents and educators: states across the political spectrum are moving to bring recess back and prioritize physical activity in public schools. We talk about why movement matters for kids’ health, focus, and long term development, and why this shift feels like a quiet win for families who want schools to support the whole child.

Then we dig into a major education policy update: new Department of Education guidance saying schools should neither favor nor disfavor students by race when it comes to discipline. We unpack what race based discipline quotas and “restorative justice” pressures have looked like in practice, why they can undermine safety and fairness, and why accountability should be applied consistently to every student.

From there, we pivot to immigration policy details most people never hear about, including B1 business and B2 tourist visas, visa overstays, and how asylum is meant to be a narrow safeguard rather than a loophole. We also highlight a potential FDA leader, Dr. Heidi Overton, and why her medical credentials and clarity on the science of unborn human life matter. Finally, we test climate catastrophe claims against long term data and end with encouraging news of large prayer gatherings in the UK that point to spiritual hunger beyond the US.

The internet loves a secret backstory, especially when it can slap a scary label on the Founding Fathers. We take one of the most common claims head-on: “The founders were Freemasons, so America wasn’t really built on biblical values.” Instead of trading hot takes, we walk through what the historical record actually shows, why the numbers are often exaggerated, and why membership claims are not the same thing as real influence.

We also dig into the example everyone brings up, George Washington. Yes, he had a documented Masonic connection, but the question is what that looked like in practice. We compare the popular narrative to the recorded reality, including Washington’s own words about how rarely he attended lodge. Then we address the Washington, D.C. design rumors, including the “pentagram in D.C.” storyline, and explain why late-blooming claims without early evidence should raise your skepticism.

From there, the conversation shifts into modern policy and civic responsibility. We discuss the Texas law requiring age verification to download apps and ask whether it’s government overreach or a reasonable way to help parents protect kids from exploitation and grooming. Finally, we respond to a question about the Save Act and why Senate leaders don’t bring bills up when the votes aren’t there yet.

If you care about Freemasonry and the Founding Fathers, George Washington’s faith, Washington D.C. conspiracy claims, parental rights online, and limited government that actually functions, this one is for you.
