Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture. It's the Wall Builders show where we take on the hot topics of the day from a biblical historical and

to be eyes wide open about the challenges that we face

and to recognize that we are two years from right now,

today, two years from that

250th birthday, the one where most nations fall apart,

where great civilizations crumble.

We're in that part of the cycle folks.

We've had it so good in America for so long.
