Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture.

It's The Wall Builders Show, taken on the hot topics of the day from a biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective.

We've got a great program for you not only today, but tomorrow and Friday as well.

I mentioned it briefly on Monday when we were talking about how great the pro-family legislators conference was over the weekend, and how David Barton just always brings an opening presentation to kind of say, okay, let's understand what time it is. We want to be men and women of Issaqar that understand the times and know what to do. And so we want to bring that to you, our listeners, as well. This was intended for legislators, but it really fits for all of us. We're all citizens of this great country, and we've all got a lot of work to do to rebuild liberty. So we're going to jump right in right here with David Barton, teaching at the pro-family legislators conference opening night, getting these legislators ready for several days of preparation for truly rebuilding liberty in our country.

And in that memorial, you had people like Rob McCoy who got up and gave a very clear

Christian message to people that may not necessarily have been familiar with Christian faith.

And it was followed by so many others, Marco Rubio, which was not expected,

and he gave it just as clear as a pastor would.

And then following him, you had Peach Headset, who was very clear about his Christian faith as well.

And even J.D. Vance, who said, you know, in the last

10 days since Charlie's murder, I've talked to Jesus Christ more than I have in my whole life.

And if you don't know, J.D. Vance had been an atheist for a long time. He came to faith

late in life, so he's still fairly young in that regard. But in talking to the leadership of

Turning Point afterwards, it was with them

a couple weeks afterwards, and they said that with all the live cast that went on, they had more

than one billion people who watched that event. So that is the greatest size audience in history.

And as you look at what happened, you remember even when Erica got up and specifically

forgave the man that murdered her husband. And that was a real hard thing to do and say,
