What happens when identity, politics and faith collide?

In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I interview Dr. Eric Wallace—co-founder of the Freedoms Journal Institute and author of The Heart of Apostasy—to unpack one of the most complex and sensitive conversations in today's culture…race.

From the role of identity in the church to the intersection of race, theology and public policy, this discussion challenges long-held assumptions and calls for a return to a Christ-centered worldview on race and racial relations.

Where is the line between inclusion and endorsement?

In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I break down the controversy surrounding the Nashville Predators' 11th Annual Pride Night—and the deeper cultural and spiritual questions it raises.

This isn't just about one event. It's about how culture shifts over time, how language shapes meaning and how Christians respond when values and public platforms collide.

We explore the difference between welcoming people and celebrating ideologies and why that distinction matters more than ever.
