Pastor Allen Jackson of World Outreach Church joins the WallBuilders Show to offer spiritual wisdom for navigating today's increasingly hostile cultural landscape. In this powerful conversation, Jackson frames current events as divine "shakings" – COVID exposed institutional corruption, October 7th revealed hidden anti-Semitism, and Charlie Kirk's assassination represents Christian martyrdom in 21st century America.

Jackson delivers a stirring challenge to believers who have remained silent in the face of growing hostility toward biblical values. "We've made too many friends with evil and built too many bridges with wickedness," he warns, urging Christians to overcome the timidity that has allowed faithful voices like Kirk's to stand alone on the frontlines. With piercing clarity, he introduces the concept of "trans Christians" – those who identify as believers on Sunday while living contradictory lives throughout the week.

The pastor places current events within the historical context of Christian persecution, reminding listeners that suffering for faith is nothing new. From Isaiah being sawn in half to Stephen's stoning, the Bible contains numerous examples of martyrdom. His provocative question cuts to the heart: "If they came hunting Christians, would your Christian reputation put you at the top of the list?" For those remaining comfortable and inconspicuous, he asks, "If you're not willing to be an advocate for Him in the face of threat, why do you think He's going to come looking for you?"

As discussion turns toward the spiritual awakening many believe is occurring, Jackson distinguishes between crowds and genuine revival. True revival, he explains, produces transformed lives and measurable cultural change. He emphasizes fundamentals: daily Scripture engagement, authentic community, and obedient living – moving beyond mere identification with Christianity to genuine discipleship.

Have you ever wondered what makes the United States Constitution the most successful governing document in world history? As we celebrate Constitution Day, marking 239 years since its signing, this episode dives deep into the remarkable durability of America's foundational charter.

The secret to the Constitution's unprecedented longevity isn't just clever wording or political genius—it's rooted in something more profound. Through fascinating historical research, we reveal how the Bible influenced the Founders more than any other source, accounting for 34% of their direct quotations—far outpacing Montesquieu, Blackstone, and Locke combined. This biblical foundation provided the moral framework necessary for constitutional self-government to flourish.

We tackle common constitutional misconceptions that threaten our republic today: the myth of three co-equal branches, misinterpretations of the "general welfare" clause, and the imaginary "wall of separation between church and state" that appears nowhere in our founding document. These misunderstandings haven't happened by accident—they represent fundamental shifts away from the Founders' vision of ordered liberty.

Most critically, we explore John Adams' prophetic warning that "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." The document itself hasn't failed America; rather, the question is whether we still possess the moral character necessary to maintain it. Recent events surrounding Charlie Kirk have sparked renewed interest in constitutional principles, with 54,000 new requests to start educational chapters nationwide.

Whether you're a constitutional scholar or just beginning to explore America's founding principles, this episode will deepen your appreciation for the remarkable document that has secured American liberty for generations—and what we must do to preserve it for centuries to come.

A profound spiritual awakening is sweeping across America in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination. Churches nationwide report their second-highest attendance of the year (surpassed only by Easter), as people who previously dismissed faith now actively seek answers and meaning. This catalytic moment feels reminiscent of Pearl Harbor – an event that transformed American isolationism into unified purpose and resolve.

The WallBuilders team explores this cultural shift with Congresswoman Mary Miller of Illinois, who has introduced the "Safety and Opportunity for Girls Act" to codify biological definitions of sex in Title IX legislation. This bill aims to protect women's sports and spaces by establishing clear legal definitions that can't be manipulated through ideological reinterpretation. Miller expects unanimous Republican support, describing it as a "90-10 issue" with the American public despite media narratives suggesting otherwise.

At the heart of our current cultural confusion lies a fundamental spiritual problem – the removal of God from society has created what the late pastor Adrian Rogers described as "chaos," similar to removing instinct from a beehive. We've told generations of young Americans "they came from nowhere, they're here for no purpose, that they can define good and evil, they're heading to nothingness." Such nihilism inevitably produces the mental health crisis and social disorientation we now witness.

Yet hope abounds as Americans increasingly reject this empty worldview. Even individuals previously hostile to traditional values are reconsidering their positions. The Wall Builders hosts emphasize that churches addressing these cultural moments head-on are seeing growth and engagement, while those remaining silent risk irrelevance. This parallels patterns observed during COVID, where courageous leadership distinguished thriving faith communities from declining ones.

This pivotal cultural moment invites every American to find their voice. Whether with family, coworkers, church, or broader audiences, now is the time to speak truth and participate in spiritual and cultural renewal. As Miller powerfully states, "Instead of woke, we're awake" – and that awakening may prove to be the turning point America so desperately needs.

The quiet battle for your child's mind is happening on elementary school bookshelves, and you might be shocked at what's hiding there. Representative Richard McGrew of Arkansas joins us to share his journey from concerned citizen to legislative champion after discovering LGBT-themed books targeting fourth graders in a rural school library.

McGrew takes us behind the scenes of his successful effort to pass Act 917, groundbreaking legislation that prohibits non-age-appropriate sexual material in Arkansas K-5 school libraries. His story reveals the surprising reality that even small country schools are not immune to the push for sexual content targeting young children. "If you'd have told me beforehand these books were there, I'd have said no way," McGrew confesses, highlighting why parents everywhere should investigate what's available to their children.

We explore the grassroots strategy that made this legislation possible - from helping parents navigate bureaucratic processes to rallying church communities and building coalitions. McGrew's practical approach demonstrates how strategic compromise can achieve crucial protections while withstanding constitutional challenges. His experience provides a blueprint for concerned citizens nationwide who want to effect meaningful change in their own communities.

The conversation broadens to address the critical need for civil discourse in our divided times. How can we speak truth boldly while maintaining respect for those with whom we disagree? Drawing inspiration from leaders who model this approach, we discuss practical ways to rebuild relationships with family members holding different views and engage effectively in the public square.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk has left many reeling, searching for meaning amidst tragedy. In this deeply moving episode, we navigate the complex emotions of grief while offering a distinctly Christian perspective on death and legacy.

We begin by examining what Scripture teaches about mourning with hope. Unlike those without faith, believers can find comfort knowing death is merely a doorway to eternal life. As Tim Barton notes, "Charlie is living his best life right now." This doesn't diminish our loss, but it transforms how we process it. We explore the fascinating parallel between Jesus standing to welcome the martyr Stephen in Acts and how Christ might similarly welcome modern martyrs.

But how should we respond to such evil? The temptation toward anger and retaliation is strong, yet we're called to something higher. David Barton challenges listeners to "overcome evil with good" by doubling down on Charlie's approach – confronting dangerous ideologies while showing genuine love to the confused individuals influenced by them. This balanced approach requires both courage and compassion.

We also celebrate recent victories for religious liberty, including Liberty Council's continued legal success defending Good News Clubs in public schools nationwide. These constitutionally-protected after-school programs allow teachers to share the gospel with students, providing much-needed moral foundation. Additionally, we discuss President Trump's announcement of new Department of Education guidelines protecting prayer in public schools and his strong defense of the foundational American principle that rights come from God, not government.

The episode concludes with Abraham Lincoln's timeless challenge from the Gettysburg Address – to take "increased devotion to the cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion." In honoring Charlie's legacy, we're called not to civil war, but to civil discourse; not to hatred, but to renewed commitment to truth spoken in love.

September 11, 2025 marks not only the anniversary of 9/11 but now the day after Charlie Kirk's assassination—a profound loss that has shaken the conservative movement and faith communities across America. Charlie, martyred at just 31 years old while speaking to students in Utah, lived a life of extraordinary impact that far exceeded what most accomplish in decades of public service.

The shocking news reached us during a pastor's briefing in Washington DC, transforming what should have been a routine gathering into a somber prayer vigil as we awaited updates on Charlie's condition. What makes this tragedy particularly striking is the remarkable spiritual journey Charlie had traveled in recent years. Already wildly successful with Turning Point USA, Charlie demonstrated uncommon humility by seeking out pastoral mentorship that transformed his approach to public engagement. While he always possessed the courage and intellectual prowess to engage in reasoned debate, his growing willingness to center his message on Christ reflected a spiritual maturity that continually evolved.

Charlie's practical impact on American politics cannot be overstated. His grassroots ballot initiative work across ten states proved decisive in securing Donald Trump's electoral victory—work that political parties traditionally handled but had largely abandoned. Beyond politics, Charlie's murder reveals a disturbing consequence of rhetoric that frames words as "violence," creating justification for actual violence against effective communicators. Yet even in death, Charlie's influence grows. Social media has erupted with unprecedented discussions of faith, prayer, and Jesus—precisely what would have mattered most to him.

As we process this loss while remembering 9/11, we recognize both events as products of dangerous ideologies willing to employ violence against those with differing viewpoints. The most fitting tribute to Charlie's legacy is continuing his work with even greater determination—standing boldly for truth, mentoring the next generation, and courageously speaking about faith in the public square. Like biblical Samson, Charlie's greatest impact may come through his death, igniting a movement of believers willing to stand with similar conviction.

America is about to embark on its most ambitious anniversary celebration ever. The upcoming 250th anniversary of American independence promises to dwarf the bicentennial celebrations of 1976, with hundreds of organizations coordinating thousands of events nationwide in what David Barton calls an "orchestrated, spontaneous, grassroots movement."

Kimberly Fletcher of Moms for America joins us to unveil her organization's spectacular contribution to this historic milestone: a 50-state, 50-week tour covering 250,000 miles across America. This isn't just another historical commemoration—it's bringing the celebration directly to communities that might never have the opportunity to visit major historical sites.

The America 250 Tour features "Patriot Village," a traveling experience complete with five semi-trucks, five RVs, and multiple vehicles creating a county fair atmosphere dedicated to American history. At its heart stands America's Wall of Honor, a breathtaking 60-foot monument honoring military and first responders that comes alive with light, sound, and pyrotechnics during special presentations. The tour will focus on communities under 250,000 population while remaining accessible to larger metropolitan areas, ensuring maximum participation.

What makes this celebration truly special is its grassroots nature. Unlike the 1976 bicentennial, which was primarily government-directed, the 250th anniversary emerges from a nationwide groundswell of patriotic energy. The tour will highlight 26 flagship locations chosen for their significance to American history—from Florida's Space Coast to Hollywood's film industry to the engineering marvel of Hoover Dam—each telling a unique chapter of America's story through concerts, reenactments, and immersive experiences.

For those who can't attend in person, virtual participation opportunities include a national "Where's Liberty" photo contest connecting Americans across the country. The celebration kicks off December 31st in Huntington Beach, California, and will continue through July 4, 2027, providing ample opportunity for every American to connect with our founding principles and shared heritage.

Something extraordinary is happening in America's relationship with faith. President Trump's recent appearance at the Museum of the Bible marks a pivotal moment in what appears to be a national spiritual revival. Trump didn't just speak about faith—he donated his personal family Bible, used at both his inaugurations, to become part of the museum's permanent collection.

The event centered around a meeting of Trump's Religious Liberty Commission, tasked with addressing attacks on faith and developing recommendations to secure religious freedom. Speaking without teleprompters, Trump addressed controversial topics with remarkable directness, demonstrating a boldness that suggests a significant shift in how faith is discussed in the public square.

Most significantly, Trump announced that "prayer belongs in public schools" and revealed that both the Department of Education and Department of Justice are developing guidance to protect student prayer—potentially reversing six decades of court decisions that have progressively removed religious expression from educational settings. Rather than waiting for lengthy court challenges, this administration is taking direct action to restore religious liberty.

Complementing these efforts is the White House's "America Prays" initiative, which encourages Americans to gather weekly in groups of ten to pray for the nation through the 250th anniversary celebration. This unprecedented government promotion of prayer draws inspiration from America's founding moments—including the first Continental Congress, which began with a two-hour prayer session studying four chapters of the Bible.

For many observing these developments, they represent the restoration of America's historical connection between faith and civic life. After generations of seeing religious expression pushed to the margins, we're witnessing what could be a fundamental realignment in American culture. The unlikely champion of this revival? A president many religious voters initially questioned.

Join this movement by visiting whitehouse.gov/america250/america-prays and becoming part of what could be the most significant spiritual renewal in modern American history.
