    Going Rogue with Lara Logan - ARE INCOME TAXES VOLUNTARY? with Joe Banister | Going Rogue with Lara Logan | Sponsored

    Joe Banister went from IRS criminal investigator to outspoken critic of the agency, and says he hasn’t filed an income tax return since 1998. He describes the radio broadcast that prompted him to investigate the tax system, alleges that IRS computer codes were used to create assessments against people who didn’t file, and explains why he believes the agency’s enforcement exceeds the law. Banister also revisits his challenge to the IRS, his claims about the ratification of the 16th Amendment, and the striking irony of government employees who reportedly don’t pay their own taxes.

    The WallBuilders Show - A Pastor Can Shape A City Without Losing His Calling - with Rob McCoy

    A pastor who becomes a mayor sounds like a headline, but Pastor Rob McCoy treats it like a calling problem: how do you love God, love people, and still tell the truth when the public square gets hostile? Tim Barton sits down with Rob for a candid first part of a three-part conversation, tracing Rob’s unlikely path from the business world into decades of pastoral ministry at Calvary Chapel Godspeak in Thousand Oaks, California, and then into elected office. Along the way, we talk about expository teaching, the verse-by-verse approach that refuses to “proof text” Scripture, and why that kind of Bible teaching forms deeper disciples. Rob also challenges a pattern many listeners will recognize in the American church: we emphasize evangelism but often neglect discipleship, and we’re shocked when there’s little cultural change to show for it. He connects those ideas to American history, spiritual renewal, and what it means to build durable convictions in a generation under constant pressure. We also get the behind-the-scenes story of Rob’s friendship with Charlie Kirk, why Charlie called Rob “my pastor,” and the moment Charlie finally agreed to preach in a church and surprised everyone, including himself. If you care about biblical citizenship, Christian engagement in politics, and building faith that holds up in real life, this conversation is for you.

    The WallBuilders Show - Ballot Initiatives You Cannot Ignore - with Michael Huffman and Byron Foxx

    Ballot initiatives are quietly rewriting state law while most voters are distracted by the top of the ticket. We dig into why these measures matter so much, how they bypass stalled legislatures, and why the fine print can change your community faster than any campaign promise. We focus on Virginia as a high stakes case study with Dr. Byron Foxx and Dr. Michael Huffman, walking through three proposed constitutional amendments and why they argue every voter needs to read past the marketing labels. We talk about the “reproductive freedom” language and the concerns raised about abortion policy, parental consent, medical safeguards, and conscience protections. We also cover the broader warning: once something is embedded in a state constitution, reversing it is a long, uphill process, so the real chance to stop a bad amendment is before it passes. Then we zoom out to the national map. From voter ID questions to keeping men out of women’s sports, from abortion rollbacks to election systems like rank choice voting, states across the country are putting major policies directly on the ballot. We share how to find trustworthy information, why turnout is everything, and how one informed voter can multiply impact by bringing friends, family, and church communities along. If you want a biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective on what your ballot is actually doing, hit play and share this with someone who votes but never reads the propositions.
