Welcome to the intersection of faith in the culture. This is Walboulders Live. Thanks so much for joining us today. My name is Rick Green. I'm a former Texas legislator at America's Constitution coach. I'm here with David Barton and Tim Barton. Tim Barton is a national speaker and pastor and president of Walboulders. David Barton is the founder of Walboulders and America's premier historian.

Tons of books and videos and fantastic material that'll educate you, equip you, inspire you all available right now at Walboulders.com, at Walboulders.com.

And then our radio site, Walboulderslive.com. That's where you can get archives of the program. If you're a first-time listener today, you can go back in there and find some of those good news Fridays to encourage you, some foundations of freedom Thursdays to dig deep into the principles of the nation as we answer your questions about those things. And then Monday through Wednesday, typically we have an interview with someone that's out there on the front lines.

That's influencing the culture in a positive way, restoring biblical principles, restoring those things that will make our nation once again be a great nation and a blessing to the people of America, but also people around the world.

That's the really cool thing about applying biblical worldview to a culture is that you're truly salt and light. You not only preserve the culture, you not only preserve the meat, you're actually bringing out the best flavor.

You're making it the best that it can be and people thrive and they have abundance and they have blessings.

Deuteronomy describes all of this when we do things God's way, we get not only is it right, it works best and we get great blessings out of it.

So if we do that as a nation, we are blessed here, but also then we become a blessing to people around the world. And that's what we're restoring through Walboulders, we're helping you and your communities to be the catalyst for restoring those biblical values and constitutional principles.

Hope that you've signed up as one of our Constitution coaches hosting the classes there in your home or at your churches, all kinds of ways that you can be involved check it out at Walboulders.com.

And we'll have links there today to all the different things that we're going to talk about from the things available to you at Walboulders.com and also the things available to you from our special guest today.

Our guys general Vernon Lewis will be with us when we come back from the break in a moment, we get to spend a little bit of time with him at our legislators conference every year.

At least y'all spend more time with him than I do, that's the only time I get to see him. But I'm kind of excited to get to actually interview him. So let's tell folks about him.

Yeah, General Lewis is a guy that has a strong military pedigree. He's a retired two-star general, a major general. He goes back into the Vietnam days. He was an artillery guy.

I think he told me that he has personally been there for the firing of one million rounds of artillery. I can't even imagine what that is, but one million rounds. And so he is a great military leader.

After he got out of the military, he did fantastic in business, very successful in business, started some businesses. They've done very, very well.

But he has never, ever divorced his faith from anything that he did. He was a strong, open, outspoken Christian as a soldier. He is the same as a businessman.

And he is very concerned that really Christianity have an influence on the culture. And so as a result, the community where he lives, he tries to model very things.

He wants to see the nation do. He doesn't just talk about what we need to do to fix the nation. He works in his community to get things done.

Tim and I have gone in and spoken for him in community meetings. And he gets churches to reach across church lines and hold hands to cooperate on greater value issues.

Doctors find, keep the churches with their doctrines, but on community things and influencing and biblical influence, man, hold hands, let's do things together.

And so he's been a very, very good leader, been able to bring people together from diverse backgrounds, get them cooperate for a greater good.

So it really is a terrific guy in so many ways, not only because he's a warrior in the military area, but he's a warrior in the culture area as well.
