  • The WallBuilders Show - Flag Day Decoded - with Bill Federer

    Flag Day isn’t a modern, made-up observance. It reaches back to a wartime decision on June 14, 1777, when the Second Continental Congress chose a national flag in the middle of the American Revolution. We walk through that origin story, why Francis Hopkinson belongs in the center of it, and how the familiar Betsy Ross claim shows what happens when legend outruns documentation. If you care about American history, the founding era, and civic literacy, this timeline changes how you see the symbol flying outside your home, school, or church.

    Our friend Bill Federer joins us to lay out the surprisingly clear chain from the flag to the Pledge of Allegiance: early drafts in the late 1800s, public school adoption, and Woodrow Wilson’s 1916 declaration of National Flag Day. We also dig into presidential language around faith and freedom, including how leaders framed liberty of conscience and religious liberty as core American principles rather than optional extras.

    Then we tackle the Cold War turning point: the 1954 addition of “one nation under God,” the role of the Knights of Columbus, and the story of a pastor who challenged President Eisenhower with a simple question, what truly makes America different from regimes that can mouth the same words about “liberty and justice.” We connect that to a bigger conversation about where rights come from, what happens when a nation forgets its past, and why education shapes culture. If this helped you, subscribe, share it for Flag Day, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

  • Focus on the Family with Jim Daly - Staying Connected to God: A 60-Day Challenge (Part 1 of 2)

    Imagine life if you were 100% in tune with God all the time! Sadly, things get in the way—squabbles with our loved ones, difficult circumstances, disappointments. John Burke reminds us that God is the source of life and of our contentment and joy. He gives us a clear picture of what it looks like to do life with God and how you can trust Him with your strongest and deepest desires! Just like branches connected to the Vine, with John’s 60-60 experiment (connecting with God every 60 minutes for 60 days), you can cling to God’s peace and love, allowing that to overflow to your relationships and everything you do.

  • Going Rogue with Lara Logan - SHOWDOWN IN SOUTH CAROLINA with GOP Primary Candidate Mark Lynch | EP 84 | Going Rogue with Lara Logan

    Lara interviews Mark Lynch, a South Carolina businessman and political newcomer challenging incumbent Senator Lindsey Graham in the Republican primary. Lynch recounts his 2020 confrontation with Antifa in Greenville, where he and armed militia members showed up to defend monuments and prevent potential violence. He outlines his political agenda, which includes pushing to remove Senate Majority Leader John Thune, eliminating the filibuster, passing the SAVE Act to require voter ID and proof of citizenship, and pursuing accountability for what he describes as widespread government corruption. Lynch also addresses attacks from within the Republican Party, including his support for attorney general candidate David Pascoe, and reveals that he and his wife invested $5 million of their own retirement savings into the campaign. With the primary vote imminent, Lynch positions himself as a grassroots fighter against the political establishment, accusing Graham of splitting the vote by backing last-minute candidates and of holding a conservative voting record he characterizes as disqualifying.
