Just Common Sense

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.If this helped you:Subscribe and share with a friend who needs hope today.To connect and learn more, visit learninc.orgListen to Just Common Sense on your favorite podcast app.

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. Resources mentioned:Illinois Family -- https://illinoisfamily.orgGood Soil, Good Seed Christian Scholarship Foundation — https://gsgsfoundation.com If this helped you think clearly in chaotic times, subscribe, share, and drop a comment with your takeaways.
