Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture.

It's The Wild Builder Show, taking on the hot topics of the day from a biblical, historical

and constitutional perspective.

Today's Friday, so it's good news Friday.

We get to get into a lot of the good news that's happened in the last week or two, and it's

a chance to, you know, see that the principles actually work. Rick Green here with David Barton and Tim Barton, I say it every week. Friday's my favorite day of wall builders, because I love hearing this good news, sends me into the weekend knowing that if we work hard and we do our duty, God will take care of the results. Don't always get the results we want, guys, but, you know, sometimes we get to see some of those victories right in front of us. So, David, start us off, man. What's the first piece of good news you want to talk about today? So every year we did the Wall Builders Legislators Conference, and we have all these experts come in from across the country to address different topics, and invariably we'll choose some of those programs and share

them with folks because we think it's really good information to have and I know that that you guys

chose one of the ones I did this year and it was kind of the opening night that we did the legislators

and was talking about whether America's in a revival or not and what that means and we kind of went

through and looked at the stats and said yeah America is definitely in a revival but not and what that means. And we kind of went through and looked at the stats and said, yeah, America is definitely

in a revival.

But the problem with that is if you go back for the last 300 years, America's had eight historically

recognized revivals and five of them did not change the nation.

The first three did.

The last five didn't.

And it's because the first three were awakenings and the last five were first three did. The last five didn't. And it's because the first three were

awakenings and the last five were just revivals. And so revivals don't necessarily change things

unless they get disciples. So what happens is people think, oh, if we can get people to become

Christian, come to Christ, it'll change everything. And that's not true. Because if you're not

disciples and don't know God's word, it doesn't change behavior so I'm not going to say that Biden's not a Christian I'm not going to say Pelosi's not because they both claim they are I'm going to say that if they are they're not disciples because they don't do what's biblical they don't follow what the Bible says so we're in this thing that if we can get people to say the sinner's prayer, it's going to save America. And that's just absolutely not true. And so that was

what we shared that opening night for the legislators is, look, we're in a great time of revival,

unquestionably, what's what we're seeing across the nation. But if we don't change public policy
