    The WallBuilders Show - Vote Early With Confidence - with Doug Napier

    Something big is happening at the same time in America and you can feel it in the voting numbers, the church, and even in the brands people are pushing back on. We start with a practical challenge: vote early while you still can. Candidates are known, but life is not predictable, so we talk through why early voting removes last minute obstacles and how tools like ChristianVoterGuide.com and iVoterGuide help you research candidates fast and share clear voter guides with friends, family, and your church. Then we shift to a hopeful cultural signal that didn’t get nearly enough coverage: a massive prayer gathering at AT&T Stadium with tens of thousands of people showing up to pray for repentance and revival. We unpack the difference between revival as internal change and awakening as faith that starts shaping the public square, and why noticing “good news” matters when discouragement is easy. Finally, we bring the marketplace into the conversation with guest Doug Napier from 1792 Exchange. He explains how they track corporate bias across thousands of companies and what it looks like for a business to respect constitutional rights like free speech, free exercise, and freedom of conscience while still serving customers well. We talk corporate stewardship, the cost of ideological activism, and why the 1792 Buttonwood Agreement is a powerful reminder that trust and integrity built the American economy in the first place. If you care about faith and culture, early voting, and the future of American business, listen, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show. Support the show

    Focus on the Family with Jim Daly - James Brown: Faith, Family, and Purpose (Part 1 of 2)

    James Brown, CBS host of The NFL Today, shares his personal faith journey, family story, and transformation through Jesus Christ. Brown reflects on the powerful influence of his mother’s faith and discipline, his early struggles after being cut from professional basketball, and the moment in his mid-20s when he turned to God and began a lifelong spiritual commitment. He emphasizes the importance of responsibility, humility, and “walking the talk” as a Christian, both in family life and public influence. The conversation also explores themes of racial unity, the role of Scripture in addressing cultural challenges, and the lasting impact of mentors like coaches and parents. In the Sports & Faith collection, you’ll hear powerful testimonies from athletes with memorable track records in sports and an even greater legacy in faith.

    The WallBuilders Show - Stop Punishing Your Own Side - with Jordan Lorence

    You can feel it in election season: the temptation to vote with your emotions, sit out November, or “send a message” because your candidate lost a primary. We don’t sugarcoat the stakes here. When we treat the general election like a protest, we can end up empowering policies we strongly oppose and locking in consequences that last for years through courts, appointments, and executive power. We also bring on attorney Jordan Lorence from First Liberty Institute to walk us through why the Democratic Socialists of America has so many constitutional conservatives alarmed. The issue isn’t just labels, it’s structure. We talk about checks and balances, separation of powers, federalism, the US Senate, the Electoral College, and why an independent Supreme Court is essential for protecting constitutional rights including religious liberty. If those guardrails disappear, minority rights get crushed under pure majority rule, and history shows that “more democracy” can quickly turn into something far darker. Along the way, we get practical about how to think clearly when you don’t love the nominee, why a senator is part of a team vote, and why a governor can reshape an entire state through leadership and appointments. If you care about the Constitution, civic engagement, and biblical citizenship in modern America, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s tempted to sit out, leave a review, and tell us: what helps you vote strategically when you don’t like the options? Support the show
