  • Just Common Sense | 168 | Beware of Favoritism

    Just Common Sense | 168 | Beware of Favoritism
    Jun 25 2026
    Dr. Johnny Hunter and Pat Hunter walk through Proverbs 11, James 2, and the headlines to call the Church back to fairness, mercy, and unwavering love for Israel — and for every soul who walks through the door.


    On this episode of Just Common Sense, Dr. Johnny Hunter and Pat Hunter open with a clear word to the Body of Christ: don't tune out the news — use discernment. From a nationwide blood pressure medication recall to Waymo robotaxi safety concerns, from a near-collision at Boston Logan to the curious case of the Obama Center being a "presidential center" without any presidential records, the Hunters walk listeners through the headlines that matter.

    But the heart of the episode lands on a Brooklyn coffee shop refusing service to Jewish Congressman Dan Goldman — and a New York mayor who refused to condemn it. From there, Pat and Dr. Johnny open Proverbs 11, James 2, Exodus 23, Leviticus 19, and Romans 8 to remind every believer that God hates dishonest scales and shows no partiality — and neither should we.

    A timely, Spirit-led call to mercy, justice, and standing with Israel.

    Just Common Sense | 166 | A Legacy That Won't Be Silenced
    Jun 11 2026
    Dr. Johnny Hunter, Pat Hunter, and Tahia welcome Rev. Dr. Hiram Crawford, Jr. and his wife Dr. Jeronna Crawford to celebrate a multigenerational legacy of bold pro-life, pro-family ministry rooted in Chicago and reaching across the nation.

    The Crawford family carries one of the most consequential legacies in the modern pro-life, pro-family movement. Rev. Hiram Crawford Sr. founded the Pro-Life, Pro-Family Coalition in 1985 — coining the very terms — and gathered pastors across the African American community to defend life, marriage, and Christian family values. Today, his son carries that mantle as president of the coalition, while his wife Dr. Jeronna shares remarkable stories from her years as a Chicago Public Schools principal where prayer, abstinence education, and Spirit-led leadership transformed an entire community.

    From confronting city hall to credit unions in 39 churches, this is a conversation about generational faithfulness — and a clear call to stand up for Jesus in our generation, too.

    Faithfulness is generational — and the Crawford family proves the gospel still passes from father, to son, to grandchildren who stand.

    Just Common Sense | 165 | Pastor Clenard Childress
    Jun 4 2026
    "There's no such thing as a pro-choice clergyman. You're a pro-murderer."
    — Pastor Clenard Childress

    On this stirring episode of Just Common Sense, Dr. Johnny Hunter and Pat Hunter welcome longtime friend, fellow soldier, and pro-life pioneer Pastor Clenard Childress, Jr. of New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey — founder of LEARN Northeast Region and one of the most courageous voices for the sanctity of black life in America.

    Together they honor the late Elder Dr. Levon Yuille, recount the untold story behind the Kermit Gosnell trial press conference with Day Gardner, and unpack the political theater surrounding the Delaney Hall ICE facility in New Jersey. But the heart of this episode arrives when Pastor Childress delivers a prophetic word God has placed on him for clergy across America: there is no such thing as a pro-choice clergyman.

    Anchored in Matthew 19, this is a Spirit-filled call to pastors, watchmen, and foot soldiers — a reminder that God still raises voices who will not look the other way.

    Just Common Sense | 164 | Tribute to Elder Dr. Levon Yuille
    May 28 2026
    On this deeply moving episode of Just Common Sense, Dr. Johnny Hunter and Pat Hunter are joined by special guest Pastor Cecil LaFleur of Chicago to honor the home-going of Elder Dr. Levon Yuille — pastor, host of Joshua's Trail radio, national director of the National Black Pro-Life Congress, and one of the most courageous voices for the sanctity of life in modern history.

    Together, they share personal memories of Dr. Yuille's bold leadership — from leading the first all-black rescue at an abortion facility in East Lansing in 1989, to standing fearlessly in Englewood under threats and spit-filled hatred, to his unforgettable five-minute sermons that "shut the place down." Anchored in Exodus 23 and Proverbs 24, the conversation calls every listener to the same holy boldness Dr. Yuille embodied: you cannot look the other way.

    The episode closes with headlines that show why his message matters now more than ever.

  • Just Common Sense | 163 | Be Courageous and Keep Standing

    Just Common Sense | 163 | Be Courageous and Keep Standing
    May 21 2026
    Dr. Johnny and Pat Hunter return with a rallying call for believers to gear up, stay engaged, and refuse to retreat from the cultural and spiritual battles of our day.

    Dr. Johnny Hunter and Pat Hunter are back behind the mic with a powerful exhortation for weary believers: keep standing. Drawing from Ephesians 6, Galatians 6:9, and the bold example of the Apostle Paul, they remind Christians that spiritual warfare is real — and retreat is not an option.

    Using Paul's unwavering journey to Jerusalem as the centerpiece, the Hunters illustrate what it looks like to count the cost, gear up in the armor of God, and press forward even when the road is hard. They also unpack current headlines — from CIA findings on COVID's origins, to a Virginia Supreme Court ruling on gerrymandering, to California's transgender athletics controversy, to Cuba's collapsing power grid — connecting each story to the urgent need for Christians to be informed, engaged, and courageous.

    This is a call to suit up, show up, and stand firm.
