Let the torch of freedom burn.

You found your way to the intersection of faith in the culture.

This is Wall Builders Live, where we talk about today's hottest topics on policy and faith in the culture.

Always from a biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective.

We're doing that today. Actually, we started yesterday, and then picking up today, we're doing a

guidance to his kids that are about to be without their father. Great leader, great attorney,

he was on the Supreme Court here in New Jersey, but a great story of Richard Stockton.

We're in Quincy, Massachusetts, actually at the home of John and Abigail Adams.
