Building Bridges Not Walls

Building Bridges Not Walls seeks to close the information gap between experts in spheres of influence (healthcare, finance, education, law enforcement, housing, etc.) and all people. Those who dominate the language controls the narrative and wields the power. Empowering people who engage in the spheres of influence leads to communication on both ends flowing smoothly. Ignorance (no information, little information or misinformation) does not have to exist or be tolerated. The foundation of BBNW is anchored in faith by Truth for practical application. We are to invest and keep the truth, wisdom, instruction and understanding (Proverbs 23:23, 4:7) and to always let our conversations be gracious and attractive (bringing out the best in others) so that we may know how to answer everyone (Colossians 4:6).
