  • The WallBuilders Show - School Prayer Returns To The Spotlight - with Kelly Shackelford

    What changes when a single Supreme Court case rewrites the playbook on faith in public life? We dig into the ripple effects of Coach Joe Kennedy’s victory, which not only vindicated a high school coach’s right to pray but also swept aside the Lemon test that fed government hostility to religion for decades. With that barrier gone, schools and communities now have clearer ground to protect student religious expression, respect teachers’ personal faith, and honor America’s history and traditions without fear or confusion.

    We talk with Kelly Shackelford of First Liberty Institute about the legal momentum reshaping the landscape: Ten Commandments displays returning to public spaces, appellate courts signaling a new era for religious liberty, and updated Department of Education guidance that finally reflects the modern case law. Kelly explains how these changes empower local leaders to act confidently, why historical practice matters in constitutional analysis, and how misinformation about “separation of church and state” still clouds basic rights in classrooms and boardrooms.

    Beyond the courtroom, we spotlight a national call to prayer—an hour a week with ten friends—to re-center hearts and communities. Then we turn to the nuts and bolts of civic influence: strategic voting in low‑turnout primaries, where choosing a viable values-aligned candidate can block bad outcomes and advance lasting change. If you want practical steps, we point you to resources like FirstLiberty.org and RFIA.org, where citizens can find model language, legal backing, and real-world projects to restore faith in their hometowns.

  • Focus on the Family with Jim Daly - Overcoming Anxiety in Your Family, Faith and Life (Part 1 of 2)

    Jason and Tori Benham describe the debilitating impact anxiety can have on our health, emotions, and faith. They define anxiety as “projected powerlessness” and believe it’s a form of spiritual warfare. The Benhams offer a 3-part strategy of “recognize” the source of anxiety, “renounce” the lies you’re tempted to believe, and “replace” the lies with God’s truth.
