    Just Common Sense | 138 | Epoch Times with Pastor Arthur (AJ) Johnson
    2025/11/27
    On this Thanksgiving edition, Dr. Johnny Hunter welcomes Pastor Arthur “AJ” Johnson (Birmingham, AL) for a heartfelt conversation on giving thanks in everything.

    After a quick sweep of national headlines, Pastor AJ shares his pro-life journey (including an arrest while peacefully praying at a clinic and a night in the same Birmingham jail cell once used for Dr. King), the miracle of his family after years of infertility, and the deep grief of losing a son.

    Anchored in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, he teaches the difference between thanking God in trials (not necessarily for them), and shows how gratitude glorifies God in every season. Scripture-rich, pastoral, and practical—this one lifts weary hearts to worship.

    Just Common Sense |137 | Conflicts with the Constitution w/ Rusty Thomas
    2025/11/20
    Dr. Johnny Hunter welcomes Pastor Rusty Thomas for a candid conversation on constitutional liberty, media narratives, and the church’s response to cultural threats.
    After quick headlines (Turning Point USA, court fights over redistricting), the episode dives into lessons from Ruby Ridge and Waco/Branch Davidians, contrasting the media’s story with on-the-ground accounts.
    The second half examines reports of a proposed “Sharia/Epic City/The Meadows” development in Texas, broader concerns about Sharia law and Marxism as competing ideologies, and why Rusty believes they’re incompatible with America’s creed.
    The show closes with a pastoral call to courage: don’t fear—trust Christ, contend for truth, and live the gospel publicly.

  • Just Common Sense | 136 | Solomon Speaks: Life, Law, and the Battle for the Unborn (Dr. Robert Solomon)

    Just Common Sense | 136 | Solomon Speaks: Life, Law, and the Battle for the Unborn (Dr. Robert Solomon)
    2025/11/13
    “After Roe v. Wade fell, the abortion industry didn’t die. It just moved to the mailbox and the internet.”

    On this episode of Just Common Sense, Dr. Johnny Hunter and his wife Pat welcome Rev. Robert Solomon, Vice President of the National Black Pro-Life Union, for a frank conversation about the state of the pro-life movement after Roe v. Wade. They trace the shift from brick-and-mortar abortion clinics to abortion pills, expose the population-control roots of the abortion industry, and discuss how Obamacare is being used to subsidize abortion. Anchored in Scripture, they draw sobering parallels between slavery and abortion, warn about the advance of a godless, communist mindset, and call believers to action: prayer, bold truth-telling, and contacting elected officials to defend innocent life.
    • Post–Roe Reality: The Fight Has Shifted, Not Stopped
      • Roe v. Wade being overturned did not end abortion; it pushed the battle to the states.
      • Pro-life work now must engage federal, state, and local levels.
    • From Clinics to Pills: A New Frontline
      • Brick-and-mortar abortion clinics are declining, and abortion doctors are aging out.
      • The industry is moving aggressively to abortion pills:
        • Mailed through the U.S. Postal Service, even into states with strong protections.
        • Distributed through major retailers like Walmart, CVS, Walgreens.
      • Much of the battle will increasingly be online and in the mail, not just on clinic sidewalks.
    • Abortion and Slavery: A Moral Parallel
      • Slaves were treated as chattel property; today, preborn children are treated as the property of the mother.
      • The 14th Amendment protects “persons” from being deprived of life without due process; the question is recognizing the unborn as persons.
      • Just as slavery divided and defiled the nation, abortion is now doing the same.
    • Eugenics and Targeted Population Control
      • The roots of legalized abortion are deeply tied to eugenics and population control.
      • Certain populations were (and are) considered “undesirable” or “inferior”: black Americans, Jews, Native Americans, poor whites, disabled individuals.
      • Abortion, sterilization, and birth control were deliberately used as tools to reduce these populations.
      • Historically, black Americans moved from “asset” (as free labor) to “liability” (as competitors), and policy followed that mindset.
    • Obamacare and Taxpayer-Funded Abortion
      • Obamacare included mechanisms that expanded abortion coverage, bypassing the Hyde Amendment.
      • Democrats fought hard to maintain subsidies so that taxpayers would indirectly fund abortion.
      • The shutdown battle is tied to whether subsidies for abortion-involved plans continue.
    • National Identity at Stake: Toward Communism?
      • Open borders and refusal to deport dangerous individuals are seen as intentional destabilization.
      • Bringing in large numbers of people who do not assimilate is described as a way to change the nation’s character.
      • The warning is clear: without a moral and constitutional anchor, America heads toward a communist-style system with no real freedoms.
    • Biblical View of Life in the Womb
      • Scripture clearly presents life beginning at conception.
      • God knows, forms, and calls individuals from the womb.
      • Jesus’ fierce protection of children (millstone warning) reflects God’s heart toward the defenseless and the young.
    • What Believers Should Do
      • Pray and stay grounded in the Word.
      • Teach and defend a biblical view of life.
      • Support pregnancy centers and ministries that offer real help and alternatives.
      • Call and visit district offices of senators and representatives, especially regarding:
        • Abortion subsidies in Obamacare.
        • Regulation and restriction of abortion pill distribution.
      • Work toward making abortion not only illegal, but unthinkable.

  • Just Common Sense-Episode 135 You Are What You Vote

    Just Common Sense-Episode 135 You Are What You Vote
    2025/11/06
    In this episode of Just Common Sense, Dr. Johnny Hunter starts with headlines—from the legacy of Charlie Kirk and the latest shutdown blame game, to electric vehicles and police Cybertrucks—then moves into a deeper question: who should really be caring for the poor? Walking through Matthew 25, he points out what Jesus did and did not say about feeding “the least of these,” arguing that charity is the responsibility of God’s people, not big government.

    Dr. Hunter connects the dots between historical slavery, modern welfare dependency, open borders, SNAP benefits, and the impact on families and communities. He also highlights the Fayetteville Renewal Project, a church-led initiative built on charity, unity, and outreach, and closes by urging listeners to find a Bible-believing church, seek true freedom in Christ, and remember that Jesus Christ saves.

  • Just Common Sense | 134 | The Fayetteville Renewal Project: Charity, Unity, Outreach

    Just Common Sense | 134 | The Fayetteville Renewal Project: Charity, Unity, Outreach
    2025/10/30
    Guest host Pastor Dale Paschal talks with Pastor Greg Williams (Cliffdale at the Lake Community Church) about the Fayetteville Renewal Project—a citywide, volunteer-only initiative built on three pillars: Charity, Unity, and Outreach. The plan: unite Bible-believing churches, pool people and resources, knock on doors, assess needs, fix what’s broken, connect families to services, and serve with zero political agendas. Funding flows primarily from churches; oversight comes from a multi-denominational council to ensure accountability and focus. What you’ll hear:
    • Why unity across denominations is essential (and possible)
    • How a volunteer model stretches every dollar to real needs
    • Practical help: repairs, bills, counseling referrals, and more
    • Guardrails: accountability, stewardship, and non-partisanship
    • A scalable approach other cities can adopt
    Call to action: If you’re a pastor or church leader in the Fayetteville/Raeford area, connect with Pastor Greg’s team and invite your congregation to serve. Many churches, one mission—and a city that notices.

  • Just Common Sense-Episode 133 Headlines with Insight from Marjorie Williams

    Just Common Sense-Episode 133 Headlines with Insight from Marjorie Williams
    2025/10/23
    Today’s “Just Common Sense” scans the headlines—shutdown politics, “No Kings” protests, global unrest—and asks a deeper question: is chaos our biggest problem, or is sin? Evangelist Marjorie Williams joins us to make the case that only Jesus cures the heart behind the headlines, calling listeners to repent, return to the Word, and re-engage the local church.

    We contrast a “No Kings” culture with Matthew 2’s King Jesus and anchor in Proverbs 2:7: God grants common sense and shields those who walk with integrity. Practical next steps follow—pray, vote wisely, serve locally, and live the gospel boldly.

    Just Common Sense | Episode 131 | Perilous Times w Pastor Ceasar LeFlore
    2025/10/09

    In this episode of Just Common Sense, we contrast “What would Jesus do?” with “What did Jesus do?” and apply Scripture (2 Timothy 3; Exodus 7) to today’s headlines.

    Pastor Caesar LeFlore joins the conversation from Chicago with a ground-level look at violence, “ICE-free zone” claims, and the clash between political power and public safety. We talk discernment, faithful church engagement, and the hope that never changes: Jesus Christ saves.

    Welcome to Just Common Sense, where biblical wisdom cuts through the noise. Today we lean into Proverbs 2:7—God gives common sense to the honest—and ask a better question than WWJD: WDJD—What DID Jesus Do?

    From 2 Timothy 3’s warning about deception to Exodus 7’s showdown with counterfeit power, we unpack how Scripture equips believers to navigate confusing times.

    Our guest, Pastor Caesar LeFlore (Spirit of Liberty Church of God), checks in from Chicago with an unvarnished update on weekend violence, reported “stand-down” directives, “ICE-free” signs, and how political tug-of-war impacts everyday families. We discuss why staying rooted in a gospel-preaching local church matters more than ever, and we end with a prayer for boldness, clarity, and hope in Christ.
