## Resource

I want to talk about building. Not just the buzzword “building,” but the real thing. Building Protestant churches that preach like they actually believe Christ rules the nations. Building Protestant schools that raise children to be men and women of dominion, not cogs for the state. Pulling our kids out of Pharaoh’s house and teaching them to walk in freedom. Building with Bitcoin as the monetary backbone of that freedom. And building with Nostr as the social and cultural nervous system that can’t be censored, can’t be bought, and can’t be co-opted. Because here’s the truth: history belongs to the builders. And the great lie of the last century has been that we can outsource building to the state, or to Wall Street, or to Silicon Valley, or to whoever is supposedly “in charge.” No. The task is ours. And right now, under this administration—with its chaos, its hostility, and its incompetence—the opportunity is greater than it has been in decades.
