The WallBuilders Show - Faith In Every Arena - with Elizabeth Carlyle

Culture doesn’t drift toward truth by accident. It’s shaped by whoever shows up with conviction, skill, and staying power and that’s exactly why we’re talking about faith beyond church walls. We dig into what it means to live as “biblical citizens” who bring the gospel into every calling, from politics and education to media, medicine, and the fine arts. If you’ve ever wondered whether your work really matters to God, this conversation makes the case that your profession can be a mission field when you practice excellence and refuse to compartmentalize your beliefs.

Elizabeth Carlisle joins us to share her new book, “Americans Who Pray: Uniting a Nation in Faith and Freedom,” a collection that blends her own prayers with prayers from 80 inspiring Americans. We talk about the power of prayer in American history, why George Washington’s dependence on God still speaks to the moment we’re in, and how humility changes leadership. Elizabeth also describes the story behind First Freedom Art and the legacy of Arnold Freeberg, the artist behind “The Prayer at Valley Forge,” now seen by hundreds of thousands at the Museum of the Bible.

We also tackle the “Seven Mountains of influence” idea in a grounded way: don’t get stuck on labels, just engage every sphere of culture instead of surrendering institutions by default. Along the way, we point you to practical resources, including historic prayer proclamations and examples you can bring back into public life. If you care about faith and culture, Christian leadership, prayer for America, and restoring beauty and truth in the arts, this one’s for you.
