  • The WallBuilders Show - Faithful On The Wall - with Rudy Atallah

    Some of the most important work in America is happening in ordinary churches, with leaders who decide they’re done sitting on the sidelines. We’re recording from opposite ends of the country, one of us in Washington, DC walking pastors through the spiritual heritage of the US Capitol, and another in Washington State encouraging pastors who feel beat down by a culture that keeps getting darker. The thread tying it together is stewardship: we don’t just get to complain about the moment we’re in, we get to be part of the solution.

    We also dig into a tough but necessary topic: religious persecution. We talk through real-world numbers on Christian persecution and why it’s so easy for media narratives and even AI tools to blur categories by mixing “harassment” with lethal violence and forced displacement. If we want clarity on religious freedom, we have to be honest about definitions, sources, and what’s actually happening on the ground.

    Then we’re joined by Rudy Atallah from The Blessing Projects (BlessingProjects.org), a faith-based nonprofit doing high-impact humanitarian aid for persecuted Christians in places like Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and parts of Africa. Rudy explains why “rescue” is only part of the story and how stability is often the real protection: bakeries to keep food local, clean water when wells are poisoned, chicken farms that create sustainable protein, and even simple solar lights that stop predators and protect livelihoods. We talk about what effective giving looks like when overhead stays low and results stay measurable.

    If you care about courageous leadership, Christian persecution, religious liberty, or practical ways to help, this conversation will challenge and equip you. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.
