  • The WallBuilders Show - Battle-Tested Prayer - with Troy Jackson

    Election night doesn’t just tell you who won. It shows you how your state actually works and sometimes how it doesn’t. We start with a fast, practical sweep through the late primary map, including a Pennsylvania State House special election balanced on a razor’s edge, and why “blue state” and “red state” labels can miss the reality on the ground. We also dig into the growing gap between campaign branding and the advisors, staffing, and worldview choices that shape what leaders really do once they’re in office.

    Then we hit two case studies that raise bigger questions about trust and clarity. Florida delivers a headline-worthy contradiction with a Democratic Socialists of America aligned Senate candidate, and we talk about what that signals to voters. Wyoming and Alaska take us into the weeds of election design: plurality fields that can produce winners with a small percentage and ranked choice style systems that can delay results for weeks. If you care about election integrity, voter confidence, and ranked choice voting debates spreading to more states and cities, this part will give you language and examples to think with.

    The tone shifts when Pastor Troy Jackson joins us to talk about Battle Tested: The Power of a Praying Man in a Nation at War. Troy makes the case that the most urgent leadership crisis is spiritual and local: men praying with their families, protecting their marriages, disciplining their lives, and showing up with courage in schools, city councils, and communities. We unpack the Armor of God, the “shoes of peace,” and what it looks like to move without panic when everything around you shakes.

  • Focus on the Family with Jim Daly - Renewing Your Mind, Rewiring Your Brain (Part 1 of 2)

    Neurosurgeon Dr. Lee Warren, shares insights about the powerful connection between neuroscience and the Christian faith. He explains how our thoughts can physically reshape our brains. By intentionally choosing what we think about—especially gratitude, truth, and hope—we can form new neural pathways that influence our emotions, behaviors, and even future generations. Drawing from personal tragedy, including the loss of his son, Dr. Warren shares how people can better heal from trauma, anxiety, and destructive patterns. The conversation highlights practical ways believers can renew their minds, strengthen relationships, and raise resilient children by aligning their thinking with God’s design for human flourishing.
