4/7/26Was America Really Founded by God? | Divine Providence & the 250-Year Story
#PeterDemos #UncommonSensePodcast #AmericanHistory
Was America simply founded by human effort—or was there someone truly divine more behind it?
In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, Cynthia Scott and I explore the role of Divine Providence in the founding and shaping of the United States.
As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, this conversation challenges the way we think about history, faith and the public square. We walk through key moments—from the Pilgrims and the Mayflower Compact to George Washington’s miraculous survival in battle and Lincoln’s leadership during the Civil War—and ask a deeper question: was God actively involved?
We also discuss why so many Christians today hesitate to speak about faith in public life, and why recovering both historical truth and spiritual boldness is critical for the future of the nation.
This episode isn’t just about the past—it’s about what we do next.

4/16/26DEI Has Changed: The New Bias Framework Replacing Law and Due Process
DEI isn’t going away—but it is evolving.
In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I explain how Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is no longer functioning mainly as a public corporate slogan or HR mandate.
Instead, it’s becoming something far more subtle: a professionalized operating logic embedded into law, institutions and workplace risk management. The shift is clear. Bias is no longer treated as something proven through actions, but as something ambient and assumed. Harm is no longer tied to illegality, but to perception. And intent is no longer a defense.
This new framework quietly relocates authority away from due process and objective truth and toward subjective experience, inferred motive and perceived offense. What happens when following the law becomes necessary but no longer sufficient?

4/10/26Is the “Charlie Kirk” Effect Real? | The Biblical Worldview Crisis Explained
#PeterDemos #UncommonSensePodcast #BiblicalWorldview
Why do massive cultural moments, like the assassination of Charlie Kirk, 9/11 or national tragedies, spark spiritual interest…but fail to produce lasting faith? In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, Dr. George Barna from Arizona Christian University’s Cultural Research Center shares new research on the shocking gap between short-term religious response and long-term worldview transformation.
The data is clear: while crises temporarily drive people toward God, they rarely lead to real discipleship.
We explore why that is, what the modern church is getting wrong and how believers can move from passive reaction to intentional, prepared boldness.

4/14/26Darwin vs. DNA | Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson on Creation Science, Evolution & the Case for Genesis
What if the latest genetic discoveries actually confirmed the Bible—and disproved Darwin?
In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I sit down with Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson, a Harvard-trained research biologist and author with Answers in Genesis, to unpack his bold claim: that creation science offers testable predictions disproving evolution.
From irreducible complexity to DNA evidence of post-flood civilizations, Jeanson argues that “superior” science points back to Genesis.
If you’ve ever asked: “Can creation science really stand up to evolution?” This conversation is your wake-up call.

4/15/26Faith, Power and Political Idolatry | When Leadership Crosses the Line
What happens when politics starts borrowing the language and imagery of faith? In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I talk about President Trump’s recent social posts, boundaries on political leadership using Christian symbolism, and the growing tension inside the church around accountability and truth. This isn’t about left vs. right—it’s about biblical consistency. From Trump’s Easter messaging to AI-generated imagery, this conversation explores a deeper issue: when political influence begins to take on spiritual weight, and why the church must respond with clarity now and not silence.

1/8/26U.S. Capture of Venezuela’s President? The Legal & Geopolitical Shockwaves Explained
#Maduro #USMilitary #Venezuela
What happens when the United States conducts a high-risk special operations mission to capture a sitting head of state?
In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I speak with a military legal expert to break down the reported U.S. operation targeting Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro—examining the legal justifications, military strategy and global implications behind one of the most extraordinary actions in modern Western Hemisphere politics.
This is not just a story about drugs or Venezuela. It’s about sovereignty, self-defense, foreign adversaries operating in America’s backyard, and a dramatic shift in U.S. posture toward cartel states and hostile regimes.
From UN Charter law and historical precedents like Noriega and Eichmann, to oil money funding terror groups, to what this signals for Mexico, Colombia, Iran, Russia and China—this episode connects the dots the headlines won’t.

9/12/25A Revolution of Virtue | Charlie Kirk on Beating the Woke, Faith & Saving the West
It was an honor to interview Charlie Kirk last year about the launch of his book.
I’m grateful to have had the privilege of hosting him as a guest. I know that the impact he had, especially on young people in America, will continue to inspire and change hearts and minds.
What if saving the West required more than politics—it demanded a revolution of virtue? In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I sit down with Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and author of Right-Wing Revolution: How to Beat the Woke and Save the West. Together, we explore how secularism, nihilism, and woke ideology are destroying Western society—and why the answer isn’t just better laws, but transformed lives.
From faith, discipline, and family to rejecting cultural decay, Kirk issues a bold call for personal revival, common sense, and a new generation willing to stand for truth. If you’ve ever asked: “How do we push back against woke ideology and restore America?” This conversation is your wake-up call.

12/16/24The Biblical Case For and Against Plural Marriage
Is polygyny actually permitted by Scripture—or is it a misreading of the Bible shaped by culture, confirmation bias and flawed theology?
In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I walk listeners through both sides of one of the most controversial theological debates in the modern church: the biblical case for and against polygyny.
On one side, Pastor Rich Tidwell argues that plural marriage is biblically lawful—and in some cases even prescribed—based on Old Testament precedent and the claim that “sex is marriage.” On the other, I work through dismantling his framework, showing why descriptive biblical narratives are not prescriptive commands, why the “sex = marriage” premise collapses logically and morally, and why both Jewish history and the New Testament consistently point to monogamy as God’s design.
This episode isn’t about shock value—it’s about discernment. If Christians can call anything “biblical” by isolating verses, what guardrails remain? 💭 A different way to reflect this week: • When Scripture describes something, how do we know whether God is revealing truth—or warning us through human failure? • What happens when we confuse what God allows with what God desires?

5/16/24The War On Truth W/Chris Burgard
You’ve been told that J6 was a violent insurrection against the United States by a group of angry, fringe, MAGA supporters… What if it wasn’t? What if the reason the J6 footage was withheld for years and the topic has been so censored is that there is more to the story? What if there really was a War on Truth?
The War on Truth will finally pull back the curtain on J6 with actual evidence. In this documentary we talk to actual witnesses, provide video evidence, and ask the tough questions. Regardless of how you feel about Donald Trump or the political environment we live in, we owe it to ourselves to understand what truly happened on that day.
