0:00.0 | Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture. It's The Wall Builders Show. We're taking on the hot topics of the day from a biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective. Rick Green here with David and Tim Barton. And so much to cover. What an amazing week. Just a few days ago, a massive change in our nation's history in the right direction, a massive restoration of so many things that we've all been fighting for for many years. |
0:28.6 | And just an answer to prayer. And we mentioned it on our program Tuesday about the inauguration. |
0:34.1 | Great is his faithfulness, folks. We're so thankful and just have hearts of gratitude for where the nation is headed today. |
0:40.6 | It's Foundations of Freedom Thursday, so it's a chance for us to hear from you. |
0:44.0 | You can send in your questions to radio at wallbuilders.com. |
0:47.2 | That's radio at wallbuilders.com. |
0:48.8 | We'll get to as many as we can today. |
