Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture today. This is The Wall Builder Show, taking on the hot topics of the day from a biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective.

Rick Green here with David and Tim Barton. And guys, when I say constitutional, biblical, historical, those three things.

Our movie we're going to talk about today is all three of those in a really cool way, quite literally going back to the Constitutional Convention, going back to the Great Awakening.

I mean, this is going to be fun, guys.

I think we've all wanted to see a movie about Whitfield be done.

And today we get to have the producer, director, of this

incredible new movie, A Great Awakens. It's going to be great. Yeah, I'm so excited. They did send a screener link, and I haven't been able to watch it yet. I'm already jealous that you already saw it. You've been bragging on it. Wait, Tim, Tim, wait, you didn't even, I had such a good pun there.

I said it's going to be great.

Oh, well, it was like, I was not yet awakened to your wait you you didn't even i had such a good pun there such a good i said it's going to be great oh

well it was like i was not yet awakened to your pun but now now my eyes were open i've awakened to the

greatness of your pun okay yes a lot but i mean guys when we first saw the trailer and just kind of going, I can't believe, in the best way possible, somebody who's finally doing this thing, because we have talked for years about how if it wasn't for the first great awakening, there is no American Revolution.

If it wasn't for the second Great Awakening, you don't see the end of slavery in America,

et cetera, et cetera, at least not with the end of the Civil War kind of the way it unfolded. The great awakenings are what moved the culture. And when you go to the first

great awakening, that main voice was George Whitfield. And so many people overlook the,

not necessarily influence of Whitfield, but maybe some of the relational

connections that Whitfield had that very well documented, but ignored, where Franklin actually

becomes very good friends with George Whitfield. Franklin writes in letters and says, hey,

anytime you're in Philadelphia, like come stay at my house. It's not much, but I would love for you

to be here.

And they begin a series of letter exchanges and they get connected and their friendship and

their relationship grows. And there's just so many layers to this that nobody had ever done.

So when we saw the trailer, I mean, I remember texting you guys going, this is amazing.
