What happens when faith collides with law in modern society?

In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I sit down again with Dr. Stephen Law, philosopher and humanist, to dive deeper into the political implications of faith, secularism and morality in public life. From equality legislation to conscientious objection, this conversation explores the tensions between religious conviction and humanist principles in shaping modern law.

If you’ve ever asked:

“Should religion have special privilege in government and law?”

This conversation is your wake-up call.

What happens when someone is killed for their ideas?

In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I respond to the assassination of Charlie Kirk with a call to action: to reject silence, resist political violence, and stand boldly for truth, faith, and freedom—no matter the cost.

From grief and anger to prayer and conviction, this episode confronts the cultural decay that celebrates violence and silences debate. We must become watchmen in our time—speaking truth even when it costs us everything.

“What can I do when the culture descends into chaos?”

This conversation is your wake-up call.

📌 In this episode, we uncover:

✅ The danger of celebrating violence and silencing free speech

✅ Why silence in the face of evil is complicity

✅ How grief can unite us across political divides

✅ The duty of Christians as “watchmen on the wall” to speak truth

✅ Why standing for right and wrong may cost your career, friends—or even your life

✅ Why prayer is the most powerful weapon against cultural collapse

📢 TAKE ACTION:

🙏 Pray for truth, unity, and even for those who persecute

📣 Refuse silence—speak boldly for right and wrong in your community

What if you follow Jesus’s teachings—but don’t believe in the supernatural?

In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I sit down with Tom Krattenmaker, award-winning author and long-time USA Today columnist, to explore his unique identity as a “secular Jesus follower.” From ethics rooted in the teachings of Jesus to questions about truth, morality and miracles, Krattenmaker offers a thoughtful, humanist perspective on faith in a divided world.

Through humility, honesty and rigorous reflection, he invites believers and skeptics alike into a conversation about what it means to live a good and abundant life—even without traditional religion.

If you’ve ever asked:

“Can Jesus still speak to us—even in a secular age?”

This conversation is your wake-up call.
