  Just Common Sense | 182 | Your Vote Counts Spiritually

  Oct 1, 202629 min

  Jesus isn't on the ballot. So how should Christians evaluate the imperfect people who are? In this episode of Just Common Sense, Dr. Johnny Hunter turns first to Scripture before discussing the day's headlines and makes the case that voting shouldn't be separated from a Christian's convictions. Beginning with Elijah and the appointment of leaders in 1 Kings 19, Johnny considers the reality that human leaders are flawed. That raises an important question for Christian voters: Are we looking for a perfect candidate—or examining what candidates actually believe, support and are likely to do? The conversation then moves into the 2026 Michigan U.S. Senate race between Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers, along with several other headlines involving America's skilled-trades shortage, artificial intelligence, aviation security and a disturbing case involving two children in South Carolina. Throughout the program, Johnny returns to his central argument:What we believe should affect the choices we make—including the choices we make at the ballot box.

  Just Common Sense | 181 | Seminary in a Suitcase II: Back from Bolivia

  Sep 24, 202629 min

  Pastor Dale Paschall traveled to Bolivia to teach pastors. But after the teaching was finished, another assignment was waiting. In this episode of Just Common Sense, Dr. Johnny Hunter and Pat welcome Pastor Dale back from his first overseas mission trip for Part Two of “Seminary in a Suitcase.” Dale shares stories from Santa Cruz and Cochabamba—from adjusting to life at 8,000 feet in the Andes and experiencing Bolivian culture to working through an interpreter and watching pastors and their families arrive after long workdays for hours of biblical training. The team began with MyCircle training, equipping believers to have Gospel conversations with the people already around them. Then came five nights of IBAC training, where Dale and the team helped teach the doctrine of the Holy Spirit to local pastors and believers. But one of the most memorable moments happened after Dale thought his teaching assignment was finished. A local pastor invited him to visit a prison for young men ages 14–17. Dale shared his testimony, taught from 1 Timothy 4:12 and reminded them that their present circumstances didn't prevent them from living for God. By the end of the visit, 18 young men had come forward and professed faith in Jesus.It's a conversation about missions, discipleship and what can happen when Christians take the Great Commission seriously enough to simply say yes to the next opportunity.

  Just Common Sense | 180 | Soul Refreshing Common Sense and Discernment

  Sep 17, 202629 min

  Should Christians stop following the news because so much of it produces fear, anger and discouragement? Dr. Johnny Hunter says no. But we do need discernment. In this episode of Just Common Sense, Dr. Hunter, Pat and Tahea begin with Proverbs 3:21–22 and its instruction to hold tightly to common sense and discernment because they “will refresh your soul.” From there, they consider what that principle means for the information we consume every day. Dr. Hunter argues that Christians shouldn't become uninformed simply because the news is troubling. Instead, believers should learn to recognize trustworthy reporting, identify agendas, question unreliable sources and continually return to Scripture as their ultimate source of truth. The conversation moves through several current stories involving alleged pandemic-relief fraud, immigration investigations, food-ingredient regulation and religious-liberty disputes. But the larger challenge remains the same through each story: don't simply consume information—discern it. And when the headlines become overwhelming, remember where a Christian's confidence ultimately belongs: not in a news organization, political movement or government agency, but in God.

  Just Common Sense | 179 | Remember 9/11 (A History Lesson)

  Sep 10, 202630 min

  Twenty-five years after September 11, remembering what happened isn't enough. What did we learn from it? In this episode of Just Common Sense, Dr. Johnny Hunter, Pat Hunter and Ta'Heya use the 25th anniversary of 9/11 as a starting point for a much broader conversation about history, current events, biblical prophecy and Christian responsibility. The discussion begins with an update from Pastor Dale Paschall in Bolivia before turning to Jesus' words in Matthew 24 about wars, deception, persecution, lawlessness and the continuing proclamation of the Gospel. From there, Dr. Hunter moves through current headlines and asks listeners to evaluate the culture not simply through politics, fear or outrage, but through Scripture. The conversation ultimately lands in Proverbs 6 and the things Scripture says God hates—including pride, lying, shedding innocent blood, devising wicked plans and stirring up conflict. The challenge is bigger than remembering a date. Learn from history, know what Scripture teaches, remain engaged, find a faithful church, serve where God has placed you, and keep proclaiming the Gospel.

  Just Common Sense | 178 | Seminary in a Suitcase: Pastor Dale Paschall

  Sep 3, 202628 min

  What does the Great Commission look like when the people you're discipling are themselves pastors? In this episode of Just Common Sense, Dr. Johnny Hunter and Pat Hunter welcome Pastor Dale Paschall of Cliffdale Community Church as he prepares to travel from Fayetteville, North Carolina, to Bolivia for a week of intensive biblical training. Dale explains how a relationship with Pastor Jacob Warren of Veritas Church introduced him to Rich Culp, founder of the Centurion Project, and ultimately to IBAC—the Bible Institute of the Americas and the Caribbean. Dale describes its approach with a memorable phrase: “seminary in a suitcase.” Rather than requiring pastors to leave their communities for extended theological education, teachers travel to them, equip local leaders, and send those leaders back to disciple their own churches and communities. For Dale and his team, the upcoming assignment is the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, with multiple teaching sessions each evening over five days. But the larger mission reaches straight back to Jesus' command: go, teach, make disciples—and equip those disciples to make more disciples.
