The WallBuilders ShowProperty, Freedom, And The Good SocietyStart with a simple question: what happens to freedom when property fades? We dive into that pressure point with a story that runs from Genesis to Philadelphia, tracing how stewardship, ownership, and consent form the backbone of a free society. Tim Barton walks through the biblical roots of private property—creation, cultivation, and commands that forbid stealing and coveting—then highlights the stark warning of 1 Samuel 8, where centralized power “takes” until liberty shrivels.
