Rebuilding Liberty In the Central Coast and Beyond

On this episode of the Fire By Night Podcast, broadcasting from our studio in Northern California, I sit down with Peter Hernandez, Former San Benito County Supervisor and former congressional candidate, for a deep and candid conversation about faith, government, culture, and the future of California. We tackle the central question facing believers today: What is the greatest challenge Christians face in our communities, our state, and our nation — and what is the way forward? Peter and I discuss the growing disengagement of Christians from public life, the confusion around the role of faith in governance, and why many believers hesitate to engage in civic responsibility. We explore what the Constitution actually means when it speaks of religious liberty, and how Biblical principles can inform leadership without compromising freedom. A major focus of our discussion centers on the Hispanic community — now the largest ethnic voting bloc in California. We examine the shared values of faith, family, work ethic, and entrepreneurship that resonate deeply within Hispanic culture, and we ask why those values have not translated into broader civic participation. How can conservatives and Christians build authentic relationships instead of transactional political outreach? What practical steps can churches and community leaders take to encourage lawful, responsible civic engagement? We also address immigration policy, public protests, and political mobilization strategies — asking whether national movements are truly serving immigrant communities or simply energizing partisan bases. How do we pursue both compassion and rule of law without falling into political theater? Additionally, we examine the long-term demographic political strategy often described as the “emerging majority” approach — popularized nationally in the late 1990s and emphasized during the 2008 election cycle. What has been the fruit of identity-driven coalition politics? Has it strengthened communities, or deepened division? And what alternative vision should Christians and constitutional conservatives offer in response? Throughout the conversation, we return to three themes: • What is the real problem? • What are the solutions? • What is the path forward? This episode is not just political commentary — it is a call to spiritual and civic renewal. We discuss the need for revival in the Church, courage among pastors, and renewed engagement by everyday believers who care about their families, their communities, and the moral direction of the state. If you’ve been asking how faith and public life intersect — and what you can actually do about it — this conversation will challenge and encourage you. Fire By Night exists to guide a wandering nation back to God. This episode is part of that mission.
