A Pastor Can Shape A City Without Losing His Calling...

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/10/06

A pastor who becomes a mayor sounds like a headline, but Pastor Rob McCoy treats it like a calling problem: how do you love God, love people, and still tell the truth when the public square gets hostile? Tim Barton sits down with Rob for a candid first part of a three-part conversation, tracing Rob’s unlikely path from the business world into decades of pastoral ministry at Calvary Chapel Godspeak in Thousand Oaks, California, and then into elected office. Along the way, we talk about exposi...

Ballot Initiatives You Cannot Ignore - with Michael...

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/10/05

Ballot initiatives are quietly rewriting state law while most voters are distracted by the top of the ticket. We dig into why these measures matter so much, how they bypass stalled legislatures, and why the fine print can change your community faster than any campaign promise. We focus on Virginia as a high stakes case study with Dr. Byron Foxx and Dr. Michael Huffman, walking through three proposed constitutional amendments and why they argue every voter needs to read past the marketing lab...

Supreme Court Deportation Ruling And Signs Of Revival

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/10/02

The news cycle trains us to expect the worst, then act surprised when we feel exhausted. We go the opposite direction with a rapid run of verified good news stories that actually change how you see the moment, from immigration enforcement and Supreme Court decisions to unmistakable signs of spiritual hunger among young adults. We start with a headline most people have not thought through: “third country deportations.” What happens when someone is in the US illegally or commits a crime, but t...

Treason, Sedition, Insurrection

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/10/01

Calling something “treason” feels satisfying when you’re angry, but it can also be the fastest way to lose the rule of law. We slow the conversation down and get specific about three words that are constantly thrown around in politics: treason, sedition, and insurrection. The surprise is how narrow treason is under the US Constitution and why the Founders insisted on it after watching Britain stretch these charges during the American Revolution. We walk through the actual constitutional stan...

Homeschooling And Parental Rights In America - with...

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/09/30

Homeschooling didn’t become normal in America because the culture got nicer. It became normal because families and attorneys fought for parental rights when educating your own kids could trigger investigations, court battles, or worse. We sit down with constitutional attorney Mike Farris to answer a listener’s real-life tension: how do you honor biblical teaching about submission to authority while still protecting your children and doing what you believe God calls you to do, especially when ...

Faithful On The Wall - with Rudy Atallah

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/09/29

Some of the most important work in America is happening in ordinary churches, with leaders who decide they’re done sitting on the sidelines. We’re recording from opposite ends of the country, one of us in Washington, DC walking pastors through the spiritual heritage of the US Capitol, and another in Washington State encouraging pastors who feel beat down by a culture that keeps getting darker. The thread tying it together is stewardship: we don’t just get to complain about the moment we’re in...

Parental Rights On Trial - with Kelly Shackelford

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/09/28

A state law can tell you nothing about where your minor child is and still call it “policy.” That’s the heart of the parental rights fight we tackle today, and it’s why we’re sounding the alarm for families who care about education transparency, child welfare, and constitutional limits on government power. We connect the dots between the early homeschooling legal battles and the new reality where some leaders openly act as if kids belong to “all of us” instead of their parents. Kelly Shackel...

Economic Gains And Policy Wins You Probably Missed

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/09/25

Median household income hits a 58-year high and child poverty hits a record low, yet most people never hear the numbers. We start with that disconnect and talk honestly about why personal financial pain can still be real even when national data shows improvement, and how voters should weigh both lived experience and hard statistics when the economy dominates election season. From there, we move into big policy developments that tie directly to immigration enforcement and government spending....

From Shy To Bold Through Christian Leadership Training

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/09/24

Something shifts when you stop waiting to feel ready and start training to become ready. We sit down with Zach, Hannah, and Bella, Patriot Academy Institute grads, and talk about the moments that turned timid students into clear, courageous communicators. One story starts with simply watching another student go from shy to fully confident at the mic and realizing, “I want that.” That desire becomes a roadmap for growth: get in the room, take the risk, and let repetition do its work. We dig i...

Finding Your Calling With Confidence

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/09/23

The fastest way to lose hope is to stare at the whole mess and forget the person right in front of you. That’s why this conversation with Zach, Bella, and Hannah hit so hard: they describe a kind of leadership formation that feels less like hype and more like honest, daily discipleship that changes your trajectory. We talk about the Patriot Institute at Patriot Academy and what makes it different from typical “leadership” programs. Yes, there’s serious training in apologetics, communication,...

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/09/22

Civics can feel “too complicated” for a reason, and that lie keeps good people quiet. We sit down with Patriot Institute grads at Patriot Academy to talk about what changes when you stop being intimidated and start getting trained, coached, and challenged. From defending a bill in a legislative simulation to learning how to speak with clarity under pressure, we unpack why leadership is learnable and why you’re never too young to step up or too old to grow. Then we shift to constitutional def...

Building Biblical Citizens

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/09/21

A golf ball, a committee room, and a room full of people who are scared to speak. That is where courage gets trained, and it is exactly what we talk through with three Patriot Institute graduates: Hannah, Bella, and Zach. They join us to describe what it is really like to spend a full nine month academic year living on the Patriot Academy campus, getting poured into through biblical citizenship, constitutional education, worldview training, and Christian apologetics, while also working real j...

Midterms, Museums, And A Faith Revival In Sports

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/09/18

George Washington’s Constitution is not just a museum piece, it’s a living reminder that words, edits, and ideas shaped a nation. After Constitution Day, we talk about a rare moment at the National Archives: seeing Washington’s own working copy of the US Constitution with handwritten annotations. It’s the kind of primary-source history that restores perspective fast and it also raises a harder question: why do so many major institutions still tell sloppy or ideological stories about the Found...

Constitution Alive: Constitution Day Quick Start

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/09/17

The fastest way to lose your freedoms is to stop reading the document designed to protect them. Constitution Day gives us the perfect excuse to change that, and we take it head-on with a practical, non-lawyer-friendly guide to understanding the United States Constitution without outsourcing your brain to courts or pundits. We walk through why original intent matters, using the founders’ own advice to “carry ourselves back” to the time of adoption and ratification. Instead of piling on ...

Constitution Alive: One Life To Give

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/09/16

One sentence can outlive a battle and outlast a lifetime. We start with the true story of Nathan Hale, a 21-year-old who volunteered for an “impossible” spy mission, got caught, and still used his last moments to speak for the American cause of liberty. When we repeat “I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country,” we’re not quoting a slogan, we’re hearing a challenge: what are we doing with our one life to give? From there, we get uncomfortably personal about honor and grat...

Constitution Alive: Public Schools Once Taught Love...

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/09/15

The Founders didn’t build America on vague feelings or distant myths. They built it on written principles, public commitments, and the kind of courage that looks a lot less glamorous when you realize it could cost you everything. We pick up part two of our Constitution Alive series by asking a blunt question: if you love your country, what do you owe your neighbors and the next generation? That leads into Benjamin Rush and the early American view of public education and civic virtue, includi...

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/09/14

The fastest way to lose a constitutional republic is to raise citizens who cannot explain what the Constitution says. That is the warning thread running through our conversation with David Barton as we share the opening segment of Constitution Alive, recorded around original documents and anchored in the places where America’s founding ideas were debated and framed. We dig into why history is not a hobby but a “training camp” for freedom, starting with George Mason’s call for a frequent retu...

Never Forget With Real Context

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/09/11

“Never forget” sounds strong until you realize how many people no longer know what they’re supposed to remember. On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we talk honestly about national memory, gratitude for the men and women who served, and why remembering can’t be reduced to a yearly moment of silence. If we forget the facts, we also forget the stakes and that vacuum always gets filled with a new story. We also dig into the real-world battle over what gets taught to students, including the controv...

Charlie Kirk Shows Why A Free Society Needs God

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/09/10

A year after losing Charlie Kirk, we stop and remember what made him more than a headline or a political organizer: a man who increasingly aimed at the heart. We play a powerful montage of Charlie speaking plainly about courage, sin, salvation, and why he believed a free society can’t last without faith in God. It’s an honest look at the spiritual shift he was making, and why his message keeps discipling people long after his passing. From there, we pivot into real-time Republican Nati...

A Midterm Convention Wake-Up Call - with Chad Connelly

The WallBuilders Show ·

2026/09/09

A midterm election can be won or lost long before Election Day, and we’re feeling that pressure from the floor of a first-ever midterm Republican convention in Dallas Fort Worth. We talk about why motivation can sag when a party gets complacent, why post-primary infighting lingers in key states, and why national polls can scare you into either panic or passivity. Chad Connelly joins us to share what he’s seeing on the ground through Faith Wins: pastors meeting with candidates, congregations ...
