Let the torch of freedom burn.

Welcome to the intersection of faith and the culture. It's Wall Builders Live, where we're talking about today's hottest topics on policy, faith, the culture.

Always looking at things from a biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective. We need that

right now in our culture, and you can help spread the truth. You can help get this out there in the

culture by going to wallblerslive.com, sharing the links to today's program, frankly all week,

all of the programs this week. We've been bringing you this great presentation, David Barton,

did one run into the roar. We're going to jump this great presentation, David Barton, on Run Into the Roar.

We're going to jump back into that today, and then we'll get the final conclusion tomorrow.

So let's jump right back into David Barton on running to the Roar. We get so much national news that our

focus is looking at the national level. So we look at things that

happen, for example, in Washington, D.C. at the federal level. We look at what's going on

with the Capitol, the laws of the Supreme Court, or the decisions of the Supreme Court,

we look at the president, what the president's doing, and it's very easy to get paralyzed

because nearly none of us can do anything to make that different. I know lots of members of Congress. I know hundreds of state legislators. And as well as I know them, as good a relationship as we have, I can't call Congress and say, that's a silly law. Pass a different one. That's not going to happen. Don't call the White House and say, you know, you shouldn't assign that one. Let's do it differently. I can't get the Supreme Court and say, oh, that was a really bad decision. Let's make that different. We can't do that as citizens. And so what happens is we feel paralyzed because we keep seeing the national news. We see all this stuff happening. There's nothing we're able to do about it. And so we kind of feel like it's checked out. There's just nothing we can do. Let me take you back to the start of the country. Back to the American War for Independence, often called the American Revolution. When you look at that, consider what happened with the first four battles of the American War for Independence. Now, you have the Battle of Lexington, the battle of North Bridget Concord, the 19-mile running battle in the road to Boston,

and then the battle of Bunker Hill. You look at these battles, and with all of these battles that occurred, if you look in those battles for anyone trying to contact the National Commander-in-Chief and said, hey, Mr. Commander-in-Chief over all the military, we've got a battle here in our community, we need to come in and fix our battle.

Wasn't what happened.

They didn't put a call into the National Command Center and say, all the military, we've got a battle here in our community, we need to come in and fix our battle.

Wasn't what happened. They didn't put a call into the National Command Center and say,

send us troops. They all said, it's our community. We'll take care of what goes on in our community. And a great example is when you look at what happened with the Battle of Lexington.

And the Battle of Lexington right here, 700 British came to town.

There were 70 Americans that went out there to meet them. They were all Americans out of one church.

Reverend Jonas Clark, it was his church that went out and said, no, no, this is our community.
