On Sunday, October 20, 2024, I was honored to speak at Back to the Cross Ministries in Manteno, Illinois--home church of dear friends and Pastors Norman and Myra Lapinski.

The title of this speech is "Inspecting the Walls" and the key biblical texts come from the Book of Nehemiah. The story of Nehemiah inspecting and rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem directly relates to the condition of the government school system. I share valuable information on the history of the public school system in America, and encourage listeners to follow Nehemiah's example and return to God's commandments, statutes, and judgements.
