What happens when Christians stop engaging—and culture fills the vacuum?

In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I speak with Bunni Pounds, Founder and President of Christians Engaged, to discuss why biblical truth has become "uncommon sense" in modern America and what believers can do about it.

We talk about the explosive growth of Christians Engaged from 79,000 members in Texas to over 1 million nationwide, mobilized around three simple commitments: pray, vote and engage. Bunni explains why many pastors hesitate to address cultural flashpoints, how fear has silenced pulpits, and why this cultural moment demands courage rooted in Scripture, not partisanship.

We also dive into the "America Reads the Bible" initiative—a seven-day, Genesis-to-Revelation public reading of Scripture at the Museum of the Bible—designed to restore biblical identity to the public square in what she calls an "Ezra moment" for America.

This isn't about party loyalty. It's about aligning our civic participation with a biblical worldview and refusing to let truth disappear through silence.

💭 A different way to reflect this week:

• Have I mistaken political fatigue for spiritual neutrality?

• Am I engaging culture from conviction or retreating out of comfort?
