Podcast Description
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…

Is faith in America actually declining or are we witnessing the beginning of a spiritual awakening?
In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I speak with David Kinnaman, CEO of the Barna Group, to discuss groundbreaking research on faith, culture and the future of the Church in America. From shifting generational trends to the role of AI, social media and biblical worldview, this conversation explores what the data is really saying about spirituality in modern culture.

💭 A different way to reflect this week: • Am I interpreting culture through fear or through hope? • What if people are more spiritually open than we realize?
📌 In this episode, we discuss: ✅ Why 30 million more Americans say they’ve committed to Jesus since 2020 ✅ The surprising rise in spiritual openness among younger generations ✅ Why 58% of Americans believe revival is possible ✅ The difference between optimism and biblical hope ✅ How church leaders sometimes misuse research and statistics ✅ Why data alone cannot transform lives ✅ The “Issachar mandate” — understanding the times and knowing what to do ✅ Confirmation bias, worldview and the future of faith in America
📢 TAKE ACTION: 📖 Study culture carefully but stay grounded in scripture 🧠 Develop discernment instead of reacting emotionally to headlines 🙏 Pray for revival while actively engaging your community 🗣 Have meaningful conversations about faith and worldview ❤️ Lead with truth, wisdom and humility in a divided culture
