The Bible Revival in Ukraine’s Public Schools | Dirk Smith

What if an entire nation decided to bring back a biblical worldview—starting in public schools?

In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I talk with Dirk Smith, Vice President of Eastern European Mission, about the incredible story of how Christian ethics classes and Bibles in Ukrainian schools are transforming education, uniting churches and inspiring a hunger for God’s Word unlike anything in the United States.

From preschool to high school, students across Ukraine are learning biblical principles—endorsed by government leaders—because test scores went up and discipline problems went down. In a war-torn nation, the spiritual hunger is so deep that even soldiers request Bibles for their enemies.

If you’ve ever wondered:

“Why isn’t this happening in America?”

Dirk’s answer will challenge you.

📌 In this episode, we uncover:

✅ How Ukraine’s Christian ethics program became a national movement

✅ The remarkable unity between Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant leaders

✅ Why government officials endorsed the Bible in schools after seeing real results

✅ The explosive demand for Scripture among refugees, soldiers and even POWs

✅ How a post-Soviet hunger for truth fuels authentic discipleship
