Faith, Votes, And The Pulpit
The headlines from Virginia and New Jersey aren’t the whole story. What’s happening inside America’s churches is shaping the way people think, vote, and live far more than a single election night. We sit down with David Closson of Family Research Council to unpack new nationwide research on regular churchgoers—folks in the pews weekly—and the picture is both sobering and hopeful.On the hopeful side, the data show an unmistakable hunger for worldview training. Large majorities want clear, Bible-based teaching on religious freedom, social and political responsibility, human sexuality, and the value of life. G...

Run to the Roar, part 1
Run To The RoarAre you running from the battles you're meant to fight? David Barton's compelling presentation "Running to the Roar" challenges believers to reconsider their approach to cultural engagement through powerful biblical imagery.When a male lion roars on the African savannah, animals instinctively flee—directly into the waiting teeth of female lions who do the actual hunting. This natural phenomenon reveals a counterintuitive truth: sometimes safety lies in running toward the very thing that frightens us, not away from it. Barton skillfully applies this principle to spiritual warfare, showing how Satan operates as...

The cultural battle for America's soul plays out daily across our institutions, and today we're celebrating significant victories on multiple fronts that honor biblical, historical, and constitutional principles.President Trump has issued a bold directive to reshape how American history is presented across the Smithsonian museum system.

The fundamental tension between constitutional limitations and citizen self-governance takes center stage in this thought-provoking episode exploring questions that strike at the heart of American liberty.When 22-year-old Janessa from Missouri asks about presidential term limits, the conversation ignites a friendly yet passionate debate. David Barton argues that term limits fundamentally don't trust citizens to make good decisions: "You want term limits because the people aren't doing what they're supposed to do." Meanwhile, Rick Green counters that term limits serve as an essential separation of powers mechanism, preventing the dangerous accumulation of influence that comes with decades-long...

The battle for religious liberty in America has reached a historic turning point, with implications that reach into every community and classroom across the nation. In this powerful episode of Rebuilding Liberty, David Barton uncovers the dramatic transformation in how courts interpret religious expression in public life.For half a century, the "Lemon test" served as the legal standard that systematically pushed faith out of public spaces—cited over 7,000 times to justify removing prayers, crosses, Ten Commandments displays, and religious references from schools and government property.
