| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture. It's The Wall Builder Show taking on the hot topics of the day from a biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective, and its foundations of Freedom Thursday. Of course, that's the one day a week where you, the audience, get to drive the conversation, so you ask the questions, |
| 0:22.7 | and we try to answer them. |
| 0:26.5 | Anyway, it's radio at wallbuilders.com, if you want to send one in today. |
| 0:28.6 | Radio at wallbuilders.com. |
| 0:32.0 | Rick Green here with David Barton and Tim Barton, fellas, we'll just jump right in. |
