    Just Common Sense | Episode 156 | Easter is an American Need
    Apr 2 2026
    In this Easter edition of Just Common Sense, Dr. Johnny Hunter and Pat Hunter remind listeners why Easter is more than a holiday — it’s a national necessity. Drawing from Isaiah 53, Dr. Hunter connects the suffering and sacrifice of Christ with the moral confusion and cultural challenges facing America today.
    From COVID‑era church closures to gender confusion in our schools and courts, Dr. Hunter invites believers to return to church, return to truth, and return to the cross — because Jesus Christ still saves.

    This is a rousing call for the Church to stand firm in faith and reason, guided by Proverbs 2 : 7 — “He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest; He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.”

  • Just Common Sense | Episode 154 | Wisdom & Knowledge Can Preserve You

    Just Common Sense | Episode 154 | Wisdom & Knowledge Can Preserve You
    Mar 19 2026
    In this thoughtful and wide‑ranging episode of Just Common Sense, Dr. Johnny Hunter welcomes his wife Pat Hunter back to the microphone — and the two dive deep into Proverbs 2:10‑11, exploring how wisdom and knowledge can preserve us in a world that often confuses noise for truth.

    From their own early hunger for God’s Word — when Bible study was the highlight of every week — to the importance of spiritual discernment in uncertain times, the Hunters connect timeless biblical wisdom to today’s headlines. They discuss how understanding current events with prayerful insight protects both faith and family, covering issues from politics and border policy to school closures and the deeper cultural consequences of rejecting God’s design for life.

    Through it all, Dr. Hunter reminds believers that wisdom isn’t about fear or debate; it’s about being grounded in truth so we can act with clarity and compassion. Pat adds warmth and testimony, offering heartfelt stories from their own walk with Christ that show how the Word of God remains the surest foundation in every season.

    “When wisdom enters your heart and knowledge is pleasant to your soul, discretion will preserve you; understanding will keep you.” — Proverbs 2:10‑11 (NIV)

    Just Common Sense reminds us again that awareness without faith can’t save — but faith with understanding will always strengthen.

  • Just Common Sense | Episode 153 | Socialism’s Spiritual Danger | with Rev. Dr. Melvin L. Johnson

    Just Common Sense | Episode 153 | Socialism’s Spiritual Danger | with Rev. Dr. Melvin L. Johnson
    Mar 12 2026
    On this episode of Just Common Sense, Dr. Johnny Hunter welcomes Pastor Dr. Melvin L. Johnson,.author of Understanding Socialism and the Danger It Brings.

    Together, they unpack the moral and spiritual deception at the heart of modern socialism—why it rejects God, replaces biblical morality with man’s reasoning, and masquerades as compassion.Dr. Johnson traces socialism’s roots through history—from Karl Marx and Charles Darwin to modern movements—and exposes its persistent influence in American culture and even within the church. He reminds listeners: “Socialism is man’s effort to create a utopian world without God.”

    The discussion contrasts forced redistribution with the Spirit-led generosity of Acts 4, reveals how faith leaders once stood against communist infiltration, and urges today’s believers to reclaim both truth and courage.

    Key Points
    • Socialism rejects God: it replaces divine authority with human control.
    • Man’s morality shifts: calling evil good and good evil leads to destruction.
    • Forced charity isn’t biblical: true generosity is Spirit-moved, not government-mandated.
    • History matters: Soviet efforts to divide America once targeted Black churches and leaders —but pastors stood firm.
    • Today’s call: discern deception, defend truth, and uphold freedom through faith in Christ.
    “Socialism is man’s attempt to build utopia without God— and that always leads to bondage.” — Dr. Melvin L. Johnson

  • Just Common Sense | 152 | Know the Season: Wisdom in a World at War

    Just Common Sense | 152 | Know the Season: Wisdom in a World at War
    Mar 5 2026
    In this timely episode of Just Common Sense, Dr. Johnny Hunter and guest host Ta’Heya Foster explore the powerful truth of Ecclesiastes 3 — that to everything there is a season. From Scripture to current world events, Dr. Hunter urges believers to recognize the times we’re living in and respond with discernment, faith, and courage.

    Through lessons from Daniel, Elijah, and Jesus’ words about division and allegiance, the conversation connects the ancient call for wisdom to our modern moment—when nations rage, wars escalate abroad, and moral confusion divides our own culture at home.

    Dr. Hunter reminds listeners that wisdom is better than weapons of war, that God still removes and raises up leaders in every generation, and that the most dangerous enemy isn’t always on the battlefield—it’s a divided heart or nation without spiritual unity.

Together, they unpack the importance of protecting fair and transparent elections—both as American citizens and as people of faith called to walk in integrity.

    Jay shares first‑hand insights from his ongoing work exposing vulnerabilities in voter registration and ballot verification—from tens of thousands of deceased names on voter rolls to recent court disputes involving unverified ballots in North Carolina’s 2024 State Supreme Court election. The discussion weaves civic duty with biblical stewardship, encouraging believers to stay alert, stay informed, and stay involved.

    Just Common Sense | Episode 150 | Wisdom, Legacy, and Community with Pastor Dale Paschal & Ta’heiya Foster
    Feb 19 2026
    For this landmark 150th episode, Dr. Johnny Hunter is joined by two familiar co-hosts, Pastor Dale Paschal of Cliffdale Community Church and Ta’heiya Foster, civic leader, minister, and Ms. Black Fayetteville. Together they celebrate the enduring mission of Just Common Sense—a show founded on Proverbs 2:7: “He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest; He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.”

    In this milestone conversation, they reflect on the importance of faith-led leadership, honoring family legacies, and staying connected to the community through practical wisdom.

    Pastor Dale shares updates from Cliffdale Community Church—including the launch of its new satellite campus and efforts to strengthen engagement in local education. Ta’heiya shares her ministry through “Keep Breathing CPR & First Aid Training” and her passion for equipping youth to lead with integrity.

    The trio also takes listeners back to the biblical roots of the show’s motto, “Just Common Sense,” applying Scripture to issues facing families, schools, and communities today—often with humor, heart, and a reminder that “wisdom isn’t complex—it’s just common sense.”
