"The only problem with common sense is, it's not so common." Warren Cole Smith of WORLD Magazine never fails to dig deeper into current stories to share a bit of wisdom and a bit of a challenge to listeners. Join us for our latest discussion about Lt. Col. Allen West, Houston Baptist University's decision to change their name, Louisiana College's win in court, Jim Yong Kim's nomination to lead the World Bank and so much more. The news stories of the day hopefully move us out of our apathy and make us realize that we can and must take a stand and play a part in bringing truth, integrity, and purity back to this culture.
