Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture. This is The Wall Builders Show, taken on the hot topics of the day from a biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective. And today you get to drive the conversation. So send those questions to us, radio at wallbuilders.com. Radio at wallbuilders.com.

And, of course, wallbuilders.com.

That's our main website.

Great place for you to go get some good materials for your family.

There's all kinds of great swag there.

So everything from hats to coffee bugs, you name it.

And then, of course, that's the place to make that one time our monthly contribution.

This is a great time to sow into liberty. The harvest is amazing.

People are paying attention. They want to learn the things that we're teaching here at wallbuilders.

And when you donate at wallbuilders.com, it helps us get that information to people. It helps us reach

more people and train pastors and legislators and young people and teachers and all the rest.

So be sure and check that out today, wallbuilders.com.
