Uncommon Sense in Current Times
This podcast is for the man who’s tired of biting his tongue while the world burns. For the Christian who loves his country — but loves God more — and refuses to trade conviction for comfort. For the leader who’s built a business, a family, a life… but feels alone in a culture that mocks truth, silences faith, and rewards weakness. This is for the one who won’t bow, won’t break, and won’t be bullied into silence. Every episode cuts through the noise with bold truth, biblical wisdom, and the courage to speak what others won't. If that’s you… Welcome to the front line. You’ve found your people.

What happens when conservatives stop playing it safe—and start using their power? In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I sit down with Luke Macias, Texas-based political strategist, to break down why red states must lead the “revolution of common sense” by boldly advancing conservative policies, reforming redistricting, and resisting Democratic power plays.

The Dating Crisis in America | J.P. De Gance on the Church’s Role in Restoring Family & Faith
What happens when marriage collapses and the church stays silent? In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I speak with J.P. De Gance, president of Communio, to expose the growing crisis of Christian marriage in America—and why the church must reclaim its role in shaping relationships, families and the future of faith. From collapsing marriage rates to the rise of dating apps and the demasculinization of men, the cultural revolution is reshaping how young people find love and build families. But De Gance argues the church can, and must, lead a revolution of common sense by restoring biblical truth, teaching healthy masculinity and creating real communities where love can flourish. If you’ve ever asked: “Why are marriages collapsing and what can the church do about it?” This conversation is your wake-up call. 📌 In this episode, we uncover: ✅ The shocking decline: 65% fewer marriages annually since 1970 ✅ How feminism, “toxic masculinity” and the MeToo era have reshaped dating and marriage ✅ Why churches have surrendered their role to dating apps, and what’s at stake ✅ The church’s neglected duty to teach sexual integrity and promote holiness ✅ How pornography is crippling faith, relationships and marriage culture ✅ Practical ways churches can create real communities for singles and young families ✅ Why encouraging marriage at a healthy age leads to more happiness and holiness ✅ What parents must do to guide, mentor and “broker relationships” for their kids 📢 TAKE ACTION: 🔗 Learn more about Communio: https://communio.org 📣 Encourage your church to invest in strategic relationship ministry 🙌 Start building communities that protect marriage and faith 🔗 Follow Peter Demos: Website: https://www.peterdemos.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peterdemosofficial Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/peterdemosofficial Twitter/X: https://x.com/peter_demos 🙌 SUBSCRIBE for bold conversations at the intersection of faith, freedom, and truth in a world gone mad. #JPDeGance #ChristianMarriage #Communio #UncommonSensePodcast #PeterDemos #ChurchAndFamily #FaithAndFreedom #MarriageCrisis #BiblicalTruth #DatingApps #Masculinity #PornographyCrisis #ChristianSingles

What happens when the hard-won rights of women are erased in the name of ideology? In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I sit down with Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America (CWA), to expose the growing crisis of men competing in women’s sports—and what it means for truth, dignity and freedom in our nation. From lost scholarships and broken bones to the erosion of Title IX, this fight isn’t just about athletics—it’s about protecting women, defending biblical values and resisting a dangerous cultural agenda.

Is War Ever Just? Frank Turek Explains Just War Theory & Christian Ethics
Should Christians ever go to war—or are we called to pacifism? In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I sit down with Christian apologist and author Dr. Frank Turek to unpack the biblical foundations of Just War Theory—a framework first articulated by Augustine and rooted in Scripture. From Romans 13 to Genesis 9, Dr. Turek explains why government bears the sword to protect the innocent, when war is morally justified and why loving our neighbor sometimes requires defending them against evil. If you’ve ever wrestled with questions like: “Does ‘turn the other cheek’ mean Christians can’t fight?” or “Can modern wars ever be considered just?” - This conversation brings biblical clarity. 📌 In this episode, we uncover: ✅ Augustine’s principles of Just War: right cause, last resort, restoring peace and proportionality ✅ Why the Bible rejects pure pacifism and affirms government’s duty to protect ✅ The difference between Just War and Old Testament Holy War ✅ How John the Baptist’s words still soldiers apply today ✅ Why technology makes modern precision warfare more ethical than WWII bombings ✅ The danger of confusing civil disobedience with vigilantism ✅ How wars can begin just but end unjust when principles are abandoned ✅ Why loving others sometimes means stopping evil with force 📢 Recommended Resource: 📖 Christian Ethics by Dr. Norman Geisler AMAZON: https://tinyurl.com/28kemkux 🔗 Follow Peter Demos: Website: https://www.peterdemos.org Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peterdemosofficial Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/peterdemosofficial X (Twitter): https://x.com/peter_demos 🙌 SUBSCRIBE for bold conversations at the crossroads of faith, freedom, and truth in today’s world. #FrankTurek #JustWarTheory #ChristianEthics #UncommonSensePodcast #PeterDemos #IsWarEverJust #BibleAndWar #ChristianityAndPolitics #Romans13 #FaithAndFreedom

Obama, the Deep State & the RussiaGate Hoax | Mark Tapson Exposes the Silent Coup
What if the biggest threat to democracy came from inside the White House? In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I sit down with cultural critic Mark Tapson to unpack shocking revelations about what he calls the largest political scandal in U.S. history—a “silent coup” allegedly orchestrated by President Barack Obama and his deep state allies to undermine Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory. From fabricated intelligence and illegal eavesdropping to mainstream media collusion, Tapson argues the evidence—bolstered by Tulsi Gabbard’s recent disclosures—points to Obama as “the man behind the curtain” directing a treasonous conspiracy. If true, this scandal dwarfs Watergate and forever changes how history will remember the 44th president. 📌 In this episode, we uncover: ✅ How the Obama administration allegedly weaponized the intelligence community against Trump ✅ The role of Susan Rice, John Brennan, Loretta Lynch, and other deep state operatives ✅ Why the “RussiaGate” narrative was a hoax from the start ✅ How the media acted as a willing arm of the state ✅ Why Tulsi Gabbard’s credibility makes these revelations so explosive ✅ Why this scandal could be the real threat to democracy—not the people accused of being “election deniers” ✅ The lasting impact this truth could have on public opinion and political history 📢 Take Action: Stay informed.

The Bible Revival in Ukraine’s Public Schools | Dirk Smith
What if an entire nation decided to bring back a biblical worldview—starting in public schools? In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I talk with Dirk Smith, Vice President of Eastern European Mission, about the incredible story of how Christian ethics classes and Bibles in Ukrainian schools are transforming education, uniting churches and inspiring a hunger for God’s Word unlike anything in the United States. From preschool to high school, students across Ukraine are learning biblical principles—endorsed by government leaders—because test scores went up and discipline problems went down. In a war-torn nation, the spiritual hunger is so deep that even soldiers request Bibles for their enemies. If you’ve ever wondered: “Why isn’t this happening in America?” Dirk’s answer will challenge you. 📌 In this episode, we uncover: ✅ How Ukraine’s Christian ethics program became a national movement ✅ The remarkable unity between Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant leaders ✅ Why government officials endorsed the Bible in schools after seeing real results ✅ The explosive demand for Scripture among refugees, soldiers and even POWs ✅ How a post-Soviet hunger for truth fuels authentic discipleship ✅ Why U.S. Christianity often struggles with authenticity and action ✅ Practical ways you can be “all in” for the Gospel—right where you are 📢 Learn more & take action: 🌐 Eastern European Mission: https://www.eem.org 🔗 Follow Peter Demos: Website: https://www.peterdemos.org Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peterdemosofficial Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/peterdemosofficial X (Twitter): https://x.com/peter_demos 🙌 SUBSCRIBE for bold conversations at the intersection of faith, freedom, and truth in a world that’s lost its way. #DirkSmith #EasternEuropeanMission #BiblesForUkraine #ChristianEthics #UncommonSensePodcast #PeterDemos #FaithInAction #AuthenticDiscipleship #UkraineRevival #BibleInSchools #GospelImpact

In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I sit down with Jason Kimack, Assistant Director of North American Ministries for Samaritan's Purse, to explore the heart of disaster relief work. We dive into the devastating Kerr County flood in Texas, where over 121 lives were lost and hundreds more were displaced. Samaritan's Purse responded with practical aid and spiritual care, focusing on rebuilding homes, restoring hope and partnering with local churches to provide long-term support. Jason shares how their faith-driven mission delivers both physical and spiritual care to those in crisis.

What if your freedoms could disappear—not by force, but by design? In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I sit down with human rights advocate and founder of Anti-Globalist International, Reggie Littlejohn, to expose the rising threat of global surveillance, AI control and the WHO’s alarming pandemic treaty. From digital IDs that could track your every move to AI systems designed to record even your bathroom breaks—this is not science fiction. It’s already happening. If you’ve ever asked: “How much freedom are we giving up in the name of safety?” This conversation is your wake-up call. 📌 In this episode, we uncover: ✅ The shocking truth behind a U.S. bill that almost banned AI regulation for 10 years ✅ Why digital IDs promoted by the WEF & WHO could become a global social credit system ✅ How China’s surveillance model is influencing Western policy ✅ The WHO’s new Pandemic Treaty—and how it could unleash dangerous pathogens worldwide ✅ Why Big Pharma’s influence over the WHO threatens global health decisions ✅ What your Constitutional rights really protect—and how to wield them before it’s too late ✅ The story of how 36,000+ citizens stopped a dangerous AI bill with a single campaign 📢 TAKE ACTION: 🖊 Sign the manifesto at https://antiglobalist.net 📨 Contact your representative today. 🔗 Follow Peter Demos: Website: https://www.peterdemos.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peterdemosofficial Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/peterdemosofficial Twitter/X: https://x.com/peter_demos 🙌 SUBSCRIBE for bold conversations at the intersection of faith, freedom, and truth in a world gone mad. #ReggieLittlejohn #AntiGlobalism #DigitalID #AIMoratorium #WorldHealthOrganization #PandemicTreaty #UncommonSensePodcast #PeterDemos #WEF #SurveillanceState #ConstitutionalFreedom #SocialCreditSystem #GlobalControl #HumanRights

Is doubt a threat to your faith, or a sign of spiritual maturity? In Part 2 of this conversation on Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I continue my dialogue with theologian Dr. Randal Rauser (The Doubters Creed) to dive deep into biblical interpretation, moral reasoning, deconstruction and why empathy is essential for truth-seeking Christians. We unpack the pitfalls of certainty, how to navigate disagreement with love, and why honest doubt might be your most faithful response in confusing times. If you’ve ever asked: “Is it OK to question what I’ve always believed?” then this episode offers both clarity and comfort. 📌 In Part 2, we explore: ✅ Why truth has become “uncommon” in our time ✅ How flawed moral intuitions shape our beliefs—and how to correct them ✅ The difference between interpretation and idolatry ✅ How to argue like a Christian (Golden Rule-style) ✅ What deconstruction actually means (and why Rauser believes it’s not always bad) ✅ The difference between doubt, deconstruction and the “sin of certainty” ✅ Why love of neighbor must guide every doctrine 📕 Grab Dr. Rauser’s book The Doubters Creed 🌐 Learn more: 👉 Missed Part 1?

This Is NOT Civil Disobedience | LA Protests | Peter Demos
Are we confusing rebellion with civil disobedience? In this urgent solo episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I break down the LA protests and expose the dangerous misuse of the term “civil disobedience.” From violent blockades to Molotov cocktails, what’s happening in the streets isn’t resistance—it’s chaos. I contrast today’s demonstrations with real civil disobedience led by Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.—movements grounded in moral law, non-violence, and a willingness to accept consequences. What we’re witnessing now is a rejection of law itself, not a principled fight for change. If we don't call this what it is—rebellion, not righteousness—we risk losing the moral clarity future generations will need to stand against true injustice. 📌 Topics Covered: ✅ The difference between rebellion and true civil disobedience ✅ Why civil disobedience must be rooted in higher moral law ✅ How Gandhi & MLK defined non-violent protest ✅ Why violence ends any claim to moral protest ✅ What Christians must understand about justice & resistance ✅ The media’s deception and politicians’ hypocrisy ✅ Why this matters for future laws targeting Christianity 🎯 Resources & Next Steps: 🌐 Learn more: 📖 Explore historical models of real civil disobedience 🧭 Join the movement to restore common sense and biblical clarity 🔗 Follow Peter Demos: Website: Instagram: Facebook: Twitter/X: 🙌 SUBSCRIBE for more global faith insights, bold discipleship, and unfiltered truth for families seeking to stand firm in today’s world. #PeterDemos #CivilDisobedience #RebellionVsResistance #BiblicalTruth #MLK #Gandhi #LAProtests #CommonSense #UncommonSense #ChristianWorldview #FaithAndCulture

Why don’t most Christians actually think like Jesus? In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I sit down with Dr. George Barna—renowned researcher and founder of the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University—to uncover the alarming truth about discipleship, worldview, and the modern church. Drawing from decades of data, Barna reveals that most Christians form their worldview by age 13—and almost never change it. Even more shocking? Church attendance rarely leads to a biblical worldview. Barna challenges pastors, parents, and believers to rethink what it means to follow Jesus—and how we measure true transformation. If we’re not thinking like Christ, we’ll never live like Him. 📌 Topics Covered: ✅ Why worldview is locked in by age 13 ✅ The 6 biblical markers of a true disciple ✅ Why behavior reveals your actual beliefs ✅ The crisis of “heady faith” vs. practical faith ✅ Why most churches aren’t in the discipleship business ✅ How Jesus’ model of relational discipleship still works ✅ What your church should measure instead of numbers 🎯 Resources & Action Steps: 📘 Learn more: 📍 Take the Adult Worldview Assessment Tool 🔗 Follow Peter Demos: Website: Instagram: Facebook: Twitter/X: 🙌 Subscribe for more truth-centered conversations that challenge the norm and equip you to live out your faith with boldness and clarity. #GeorgeBarna #PeterDemos #UncommonSense #BiblicalWorldview #ChurchCrisis #Discipleship #FaithAndCulture #BarnaResearch #RelationalDiscipleship #TruthMatters #ChristianLeadership

Dan challenges today’s clergy to stop hiding behind political correctness and reclaim their biblical role as moral leaders, truth-tellers, and defenders of liberty. From the myths of church-state separation to the cowardice creeping into modern pulpits, this conversation pulls no punches. If you’ve ever wondered why so many churches stay silent on abortion, gender, tyranny, or truth—it’s time to wake up. 📌 Topics Covered: ✅ Who were the Black Robed Regiment—and why they still matter ✅ Why pastors won’t preach truth in today’s culture war ✅ The lie of “separation of church and state” ✅ How Romans 13 is misunderstood and misused ✅ Why America may have already lost its republic ✅ What brave pastors must do now to be relevant ✅ How to start preaching—and living—the whole counsel of God 🎯 Resources & Action Steps: 📕 Read Bringing Back the Black Robed Regiment by Dan Fisher 🌐 Learn more: 📍 Explore Dan’s Romans 13 resource for pastors 🔗 Follow Peter Demos: Website: Instagram: Facebook: X/Twitter: 🙌 Subscribe for more uncensored truth and fearless conversations about faith, freedom, and restoring moral courage in America. #DanFisher #BlackRobedRegiment #PeterDemos #UncommonSense #ChurchAndState #FaithInPolitics #BoldPastors #TruthOverSilence #CulturalCourage #Romans13

In a culture drowning in confusion and spiritual compromise, how do you know what’s true anymore?
