  • The WallBuilders Show - The Rise Of Jew Hatred - with Michele Bachmann

    A 70% jump in Jew hatred incidents in just a few years, an 83% rise in physical assaults, and a 707% surge on college campuses is not a headline we can shrug off. We sit down with former Congresswoman and Regent leader Michele Bachmann to trace what’s driving the escalation, why it’s showing up even among kids from solid schools, and how social media misinformation can shape beliefs before facts ever get a hearing. 

    We also tackle a common trap: the claim that supporting Israel means endorsing everything Israel does. Scripture itself contains sharp critiques of Israel when Israel rejects God’s ways, so honest evaluation is not betrayal. Michele walks us through the biblical foundation for Christian support for Israel, from Genesis and the call to pray for the peace of Jerusalem to the stakes of Romans 9–11, and we address replacement theology and the Jewish roots of Christianity that many people forget. 

    Then we zoom out to the modern “narrative war” and the influence pipelines aimed at young audiences, including major funding, media shaping, and campus pressure that can make lies feel like consensus. We close with practical next steps and trusted resources, including Regent’s Israel Institute and Michele's new show, Israel Live with Michele Bachmann, designed to bust myths with data and context. 

    If you care about a biblical worldview, antisemitism in America, and helping the next generation think clearly, listen, share this conversation, and subscribe for more. After you listen, will you leave a review and tell us what argument you’re hearing most often from friends or family?

  • Focus on the Family with Jim Daly - Discovering Why God Made You

    The late Steve Farrar invites listeners to consider life not as an accident, but as a purposeful design rooted in God’s sovereign plan. Beginning with God rather than self, he uses Scripture to show that every life is intentionally formed, spiritually awakened by faith, and prepared in advance for meaningful good works. Through trials, growth, and obedience—including a call to sexual purity — Dr. Farrar underscores that God’s wisdom can be trusted, offering deep comfort and direction for a blessed, purpose-filled life.
