Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture. It's The Wall Builder Show, taken on the hot topics of the day from a biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective, Rick Green here with David and Tim Barton, wallbuilders.com to learn more about our entire organization, and then wallbuilders.
