Welcome to the intersection of faith in the culture. It's wallbillars. We're taking on the hot topics of the day from a biblical

historical and constitutional perspective. My name is Rick Green. I'm a former Texas legislator and America's Constitution coach working here with David and Tim Barton. David's America's premier

historian and our founder at wallbillars Tim Barton National Speaker and pastor and president of wallbillars. You can find out more about all three of us at our website wallbuilders.com

wallbillars.com and of course that word wallbillars comes from a scripture in Nehemiah. It says arise and rebuild the walls that we may no longer be a reproach.

Here in America today we have to rebuild the foundations. We have to restore the foundational principles that made the country great in the first place. And today we are celebrating the restoration

of one of those most important principles freedom of religion. Joe Kennedy, a coach in Washington state took a stand and as a result, here we are nine years later with a tremendous victory. Huge victory.

It happened last summer at the Supreme Court, but Joe is going back to the football field this week. And in fact, this Friday, September 1 is going to be take a knee day.

And we're encouraging everyone to participate in this R F I A dot org is the website that's restoring faith in America R F I A dot org. You go to that website. You can sign up. Be part of it. Take a knee with coach Kennedy and fellow patriots across the nation celebrating our freedom.

Worshiping God and being thankful for what we have and exercising those constitutional rights. So we've got a great program today. We're going to hear from Kelly Shackleford, who was the attorney for Joe and of course has first Liberty. We have Kelly on all the time.

Wonderful, wonderful organization over first Liberty represented a ton of people. And Kelly is going to we're actually going to play a video that the audio of a video that Kelly made celebrating this victory, but also pointing out this is a big, big sea change. This is a shift in the landscape.

For religious Liberty here in America. And so we want to hear from Kelly first talking about that. And then we'll take a quick break and we'll come back and have Joe Kennedy himself with us. All right. Here's Kelly Shackleford from first Liberty.

I've got some great news about religious freedom in America. I'm Kelly Shackleford president CEO first Liberty Institute. We're the largest legal group in the country that all we do is religious freedom.

And there's a lot of bad news. There's a lot of attacks on religious freedom. Certainly more than we've ever seen, but there's some huge news from the Supreme Court.

We just had a number of major victories. I'm going to say something that you're even going to be surprised by every American right now has more religious freedom than they've ever had in their lifetime.

The problem is most don't know. So that's why I'm trying to get this information along to you. You can spread this to others.

Probably the best example of this and to help you understand this is the coach Kennedy case coach was a coach you just wanted to go to a knee after the football game. He was fired.

We went all the way to Supreme Court and most people know we won that coach Kennedy gets to go after the games to a knee and say a prayer. He's got his coaching job back.

When he goes this fall to that first game, there'll be a lot of TV cameras covering this all over the country. But what people don't know was what happened within the decision.

And that is there's a major case called the lemon case that was reversed. This case has been cited over the last 50 years, over 7,000 times.

And what it is is we have an establishment clause because the founders didn't want there to be a nationally established church.

But this Supreme Court 50 years ago, the same court that gave us for OV Wade, said no, no, we think it means a lot more than that.

We think it means strict separation of church and state that wherever government is, religion can't be.
