Building Biblical Citizens
from The WallBuilders Show Hosted by Tim Barton, David Barton & Rick Green
A golf ball, a committee room, and a room full of people who are scared to speak. That is where courage gets trained, and it is exactly what we talk through with three Patriot Institute graduates: Hannah, Bella, and Zach. They join us to describe what it is really like to spend a full nine month academic year living on the Patriot Academy campus, getting poured into through biblical citizenship, constitutional education, worldview training, and Christian apologetics, while also working real jobs and building real community. We walk through the practical rhythms: four hours of class a day, service and campus work, chapel and worship, and the kind of shared meals that turn strangers into family. Zach breaks down the difference between having the “right” beliefs and actually understanding the why behind them, so you can articulate truth when culture pushes back. Bella shares what daily life looks like for students who are learning communication, responsibility, and leadership in the middle of real deadlines and real relationships. We also zoom in on civic engagement skills. Students coach legislative simulations, lead committees, and help people of all ages learn how to testify, present a bill, and stop feeling intimidated by the process. We even talk scholarships and timing for applications, because opportunity favors the prepared. If you know a young adult who needs direction, conviction, and practical leadership training, share this conversation, subscribe, and leave a review so more people can find it. Support the show
