In this episode of Just Common Sense, Dr. Johnny Hunter welcomes Pastor Ceasar LeFlore (Spirit of Liberty Church of God, Markham, IL) for a frank, faith-first look at Chicago—where media narratives, sanctuary policies, and street-level realities often collide. Together they explore how 2 Timothy 3 and Exodus 7 speak to our moment, why church fellowship matters more than ever, and how believers can stand for truth without flinching. They also discuss public safety, immigration enforcement, and community impact—all through a Christ-centered commitment to wisdom, integrity, and love of neighbor. Topics you’ll hear:
  • “What did Jesus do?” vs. “What would Jesus do?”—a better way to frame action
  • Perilous times, persistent hope: anchoring in Scripture and local church life
  • Headlines vs. ground truth in Chicago: safety, enforcement, and responsibility
  • Faith and works in the city: serving families, protecting communities, discipling the next generation
About the guest:
Pastor Ceasar LeFlore is Senior Pastor at the Spirit of Liberty Church of God in Markham, Illinois, and a longtime pro-life and education advocate. He’s involved with initiatives that equip families and students to thrive in faith and life.
