JB Hixson: Everlasting, Never Changing – Attributes of God

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 15:22:09 +0000

Dr. JB Hixson

Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to explore the topic of the attributes of God and how the knowledge of the One we worship gives us stability, wisdom, and an understanding of Whom we worship. The church often misrepresents God, and yet how can that be with all the revealed knowledge available to us in the Scriptures? And yet even knowing that He is perfect in all His ways, just, righteous and unchanging, we still find ways to lean on our own understanding in so many of OUR ways. In fact, the more we understand His nature, the more we fall on our knees in gratitude that He has provided a way to be reconciled to Him, despite the fact that we are fallen and completely opposite of Him in our natural selves. In fact, the more we know Him the more this verse becomes astonishing: “…His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” (1Peter 1:4). We say it a lot, but we serve a mighty God and we have a mighty bright future.

Dave Wager: Before the Judas Moment, Listening to God While There’s Time

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 16:03:00 +0000

Today, on Stand Up For The Truth, host Dave Wager teaches from the account of Judas betraying Jesus, using it as a mirror for our own hearts. He walks through Matthew 26 and challenges the assumption that Judas was uniquely flawed, asking whether we fall into the same trap, expecting life and even God to revolve around us. Dave emphasizes that everything begins with God, not us, and that our role is not to be needed, but to recognize the privilege of being wanted and included in His plan. He draws a clear line between living for self, comfort, or money, and living in alignment with God’s purposes, warning that misplaced expectations can quietly lead to compromise, just as they did with Judas.

He then connects Judas’ betrayal to a broader warning about sin and misplaced trust, especially in money and personal gain. Using everyday illustrations, including his own struggle with donuts, Dave explains how sin promises satisfaction but leaves regret, often too late to undo the consequences. He stresses that obedience to God is the true expression of love for Him, and that ignoring God’s direction leads to eventual remorse. The message closes with a sober reminder: we will all stand before God honestly, without spin, and the choices we make now matter. The call is simple and direct, know God, listen to Him, and walk in obedience today, before there is a “Judas moment” you can’t take back.

Good Friday: Kings, Pawns, and Power Struggles

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 15:19:57 +0000

On this Good Friday 2026, Mary takes a look at the reality of authority in this life, and in the one to come. Whether we realize it or not, authority is part of every day for every human. Parents, teachers, employers, politicians, authority in the home, and possibly even over how we will die, at least in Peter’s case and the case of the martyrs. We start at the beginning, when the authorities of the day had issues with the authority that Jesus claimed. Nothing gets hard core religious leaders in knots than to be usurping their hard-won, ego-driven authority over people, and Jesus put them in their place. Today, we struggle daily with political authority: who has it, who wants it, and who abuses it and abuses others over it. Why does the left hate Christians so much? It’s really very simple – because we follow after and obey a higher authority and that is what propels them to try and control everyone. Those who said they would not follow the Cov narrative were persecuted in a manner that told the tale though they denied it. And in the home, how does that play out best to show the example of Christ loving the church? It’s really not complicated at all. Communism, Islam, Nazism, climate change, No Kings – you name it – it all comes down to authority. And everyone will choose; every knee shall bow, every tongue confess.

David Holland: He Who Has the Gold Makes the Rules

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 15:47:43 +0000

Mary welcomes back the insightful David Holland to talk gold and silver and economies and how despite the “rich” history of gold, things are changing rapidly because of the digital age. We talk a bit about gold in the Bible, and how it has always had an impact in the world regarding value, and buying and selling. God created it, He used it for His purposes, and mankind has found many ways to discover its various functions. We talk about the current economic situation, which can change overnight especially when there is a significant war going on in a pivotal place in the world such as the Middle East. On any given day, we might rather say, “he who has the oil makes the rules”, especially when things pinch at the gas pump. We also chat about the immense changes regarding digital currencies and how they figure into the morphing of our world, leading to a specific end that we can easily understand from Revelation. David’s Substack can be found here.

Headlines: Pulling the Plug on the Planet

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 15:19:56 +0000

So, do you think like we do that it’s time to pull the plug on this old planet? Wars and rumors, protestors, papal pronouncements, tyrants – I think we have all had enough. And yet the Lord has the planet continue to rotate. Time must surely be on life support. Today we talk about the latest in Iran, something we expected in that the Revolutionary Guard seems to be in charge now. We also look at a bizarre speech by the Pope in which he lectures the world on war and what God thinks of it. Unfortunately, he has missed the mark widely. Energy lockdowns are also on our target list, because wasn’t it just 6 years ago that the powerful decided we all needed to stay home and not breathe on grandma? Here we go again. Time for a new heavens and new earth.

Stephanie Potts: Social Justice – Perfecting Society, Deifying Man

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 15:55:53 +0000

Mary welcomes new guest Stephanie Potts to the podcast. She worked with the federal government as an intelligence analyst for 15 years and now works with Midwest Christian Outreach. She is passionate about evangelism and apologetics and discernment education. Her definitive book is “Social Justice and the Deification of Man: What You Need to Know When Talking to the Christian Left”. Today we take apart what seemed to be just another way “to do church” in the early part of this century and drag it over to it’s logical conclusion: the deification of man. While that might sound dramatic, it is absolutely what is and always was behind the door of the emergent church/emergence theology that dared to attempt to do plastic surgery on the bride of Christ by denying the need for the atonement, rethinking the gospel, and placing all power and authority for the end game of earth on man. Even though the Bible teaches something apocalyptically different, the doesn’t stop man from thinking that sin is merely all the ways society has let us down. How can Christians better respond to the left on this? Perhaps making fun of the No Kings approach isn’t the most helpful and yet it’s hard not to take that route. A thoughtful hour with an expert on the social justice end game.

Replay – Dr. Tim Chaffey: Do Gentile Believers in Christ Become Jews?

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 14:59:34 +0000

Original airdate 4/10/26: Mary welcomes Dr. Tim Chaffey to discuss the controversial Hebrew Roots Movement. Far from simply trying to understand the Jewish roots of the Bible, this movement seeks to answer the question about what happens when Gentiles and Jews get saved: do Gentiles become Jews? For centuries, the people of God were Jews, with the exception of some Gentiles who came to faith in the God of Israel. The early church consisted mostly of Jewish believers in Jesus, but when the gospel went to the Gentiles, there was a new dynamic that, unfortunately, even led some to believe that Christians were the new Israel and now received all the promises of God solely. This teaching continues today across the church spectrum. Why is there so much confusion about who is who, when the epistles clearly address these things head on? But with the HRM, there is even more confusion regarding the Mosaic Law, the feasts of Israel, who is a Jew, and what is Israel. Here to help us sort it all out is Dr. Chaffey, whose comprehensive article on the subject can be found here.

Alana Arguello: To Be or Not To Be – Vain Philosophies vs. Truth

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 15:26:29 +0000

Mary welcomes back Alana Arguello to continue our conversation around her exhaustive work, “Unearthing Yoga’s Ancient Roots”. Both believers and unbelievers alike think they understand paganism and practices like Yoga, but in reality, Yoga is not a practice – it is an idea. Think about it: if Satan convinced mankind to think they can become gods or even are gods, how does that look in practice? How do they get there, how to they act god-like? By practicing something that is no more real than their thinking they can be gods! Paganism, philosophy, delusion, are all part of the alt-beliefs that are diametrically opposed to revealed truth. God IS truth, it is not just “part” of Him. He cannot be separated from truth itself. Philosophy, long held to be a lot of hot air designed to explain away our world apart from God, is a fascinating subject and enlightens us to the rebellion against our Maker.

Daniel Degner: Protecting The Vulnerable

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 15:27:58 +0000

Mary welcomes first time guest Daniel Degner, president of Wisconsin Family Council, to bring us a Wisconsin legislative and election update. As with many things, in particular Wisconsin Supreme Court elections, not only do these have consequences in our state, but reverberate around the nation. We talk about April 7th election and in particular the Supreme Court battle. Then we look through a legislative lens at the issue of requiring ID to visit adult content sites, and sports gambling which has skyrocketed since 2024. Wisconsin has its own laws but now we face online gambling beyond our tribal casinos. We rejoice that WFC is celebrating 40 years of service to our state! A full hour of breaking down the latest in the Badger State and how these issues affect all of our families.

Today’s news cycle, like all of them really, shows in living color where the front is in this spiritual war: the souls of men. Prophecy headlines generally revolve around three topics: a global economy, a global religion, and a global government. But behind those still, is the war that goes on for the souls of men; worldview wars, ideological wars, truth wars. In the end, it’s all about humanity. The rest is just maneuvering humans to accept lies. Today we talk about the narco-terror war that is going on in South America and has yet to reach media saturation; the week of weather that was far more bizarre than we realize; outlawing “Islamophobia”; and Mamdani’s latest mischief. Finally, a bit of tech news, as Ai marches on.

Rob Yardley: Faithful Days, the Faithful Life

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 15:17:26 +0000

Mary welcomes back Berean Call president Rob Yardley to talk about what the faithful life looks like, in any and all generations. Rob’s March Berean Call article, “Faithful Scribes” can be found here. For most believers, a faithful life is made up of ordinary days – days that God has given us to bless us, use us, test us, and sanctify us. Who have been the faithful among men? Those of whom the world was not worthy, who gave their perhaps smallish lives for the only thing that endures; the men who recognized the canon of Scripture so we could discern God’s ways and will for our lives; faithful spouses who provide a witness to the church and a firm foundation for their offspring; and on and on. Do we really give enough time and attention to our own faithfulness? How we impact those around us every single day, even without ever slaying one giant or affecting a population? What about all the faithful believers who maybe clean the church or teach our kids? An uplifting hour with a faithful servant of Christ.

Scott Schara: Is The Government Legally Killing Us?

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 16:37:04 +0000

Grace’s dad’s new book, Is The Government Legally Killing Us?, has held the #1 spot on Amazon for two weeks since its March 10 release. Today, Crash interviews Scott about the book and the urgent concerns it raises. Their conversation dives into how government policies shape what doctors and hospitals are permitted or encouraged to do, whether patients truly receive informed consent, and if families fully understand their rights and options during critical medical decisions.

They also examine why financial incentives can influence life-and-death care and what ordinary people can do to advocate effectively for a loved one in a medical crisis. These difficult but important questions are explored in depth throughout the book. You can learn more or get a copy here: https://book.ouramazinggrace.net/

Mary Danielsen: The One Anothers

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 15:24:21 +0000

Social media is a fascinating environment. One in particular asks us “What’s on your mind?”, and then proceeds to make value judgments when we dare to tell. Be that as it may, many of us in the church have stuff on our mind too, especially when church doesn’t seem to match up with the biblical parameters and suggestions/commands. Then after mulling that for a bit, we tend to resign ourselves to the fact that people have changed, the culture has changed too much to expect church not to have. But wait, God never changes. The culture will always change. Does that give us the right to change the church? To bring the culture inside to testify of the popular way? Why no, it doesn’t. So in observing something hopefully all believers do every Sunday morning, how can we not have questions and observations? Why is this the object of discussion among believers and yet nothing ever changes? Can we entertain (oops wrong word maybe) the idea that an Acts church is still an option? Today Mary looks at all the ways that believers have handed their fellowships over to corporations and methods and suggests one way that might reverse the trends.

Mary welcomes back the insightful John Haller to the podcast as we capture some screenshots of big events before we lose the day’s light. The world is so dark, prophecy is so beckoning, that we have to begin to at least realize we are ending one day, the day of man, and about to enter The Day. And we see it approaching. We talk to John about the latest on Iran, Israel, and so many kodak moments in between that those who are truly awake are catching and analyzing. Pretty soon prophecy may be all we have left to point to the obvious; persecution will ramp up and Israel will face harder times than they ever have. But be of good cheer people, Jesus has overcome the world. Another great hour with John.

Headlines: Short Memories, Long Shadows

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 15:18:18 +0000

Tim and Mary take on another news cycle, once again we see the shadows of the longest hatred: antisemitism. It is not going to improve but rather those with a demonic agenda will continue to take things to a very dark place, inviting judgment. As we saw with Covid, humans are deeply affected by suggestion, as long as it is accompanied by significant fear and threats. It is no different than antisemitism in a strange way – if people are told that the Jews are despicable and not to go near them, they will program their activities and lives to live that out. As another example, in some circles, a person can’t even name Trump without becoming deranged or acting violently and irrationally. We are in that era of strong delusion and deception. We talk about Canada and their inability to reign that hatred in. We also talk about Islam which is never going to reign their hatred in. The world hates the light because their deeds are evil, how much brighter should we shine.

On today’s edition of Stand Up for the Truth, Mary revisits the history of the chemical industry, only this time with the track of genetic modification of our food. With last week’s news that Trump has ordered Bayer to make a lot more glyphosate in the name of “national defense”, we are seeing just how healthy the MAHA movement is going to prove to be. This is going to, already has, affected every single one of us. Taking away the potential to hold a few multi-national corporations accountable for the carcinogenic aspect of glyphosate – and the food supply – is truly bad news for all of us. Should we care that only a couple of corporations control our entire food supply? Absolutely. Mary works through how we got here and why it matters for our families.

Originally aired 2/14/25: Mary welcomes back Paul Scharf of Friends of Israel Ministry, an organization with over 87 years of support for Israel. On this Valentine’s Day, we talk about loving the things God loves with an everlasting love: Israel. What are some of the Scriptural points that tell us the what and why of God’s care for Israel? Do we ever stop to realize all the ways God has blessed all nations through them, these “People of the Book”? Why does this even matter, and why do many churches not share God’s heart for her, even though as new creatures we should have that love for Israel? We talk about dispensationalism, Gaza, Trump, hostages, Zionism, and more. Paul is a church ministries representative for Friends of Israel based in Columbus, WI, and serving in the Midwest. He speaks regularly about Israel, Bible prophecy and many other topics in churches and Bible conferences all across the Midwest and around the country.

Mary welcomes back retired Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis to talk about his new book, “The New Ai Cold War: Liberty vs. Tyranny”. First we talk a bit about Iran, and what he thinks of how it’s moving forward. Is Trump’s/Israel’s timeframe holding? Are we looking at some economic fallout because of the petroleum issue? After that, we jump into Ai and the difference between the Cold (analog) War that many of us recall, and the new Code (digital) War. The only tech available during the Cold War was the kind that enabled the Space Race, and no one really understands how we landed on the moon without powerful laptops. Be that as it may, we are in a Code War and the implications are civilization-ending. We discuss the national race to win Ai for every application; the moral and spiritual ramifications, and who might win the deep fake and propaganda portion as we race alright – to Armageddon.

Mary welcomes back author and prophecy expert Britt Gillette to help us count the cost of the Mideast war. There is no getting around the fact that any war has economic shockwaves, but in the oil slick of the world there is always potential for extended aftershocks. As if we need more hotspots, we talk about the “wider war”, and what that means. First, we define the nature of the war, because once it gets going, we tend to forget how we got here. From there we take an off-ramp and talk about oil and the Persian Gulf, along with the Strait of Hormuz. What happens when energy costs skyrocket? Everything falls in domino style, trickling down to our grocery prices and how much truckers have to pay for their trucking to our doors. What is Kharg Island? What does the Revolutionary Guard have to do with that? Will Israel invade Lebanon? Will Israel sacrifice a lamb on the Temple Mount on Passover? We have to add all that into the mix because nothing is a given when it comes to the Middle East.

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 15:50:33 +0000

Tim and Mary unpack some last days realities that sound more and more surreal. Take for instance the merry-go-round that is the Middle East, at least when it comes to Iran and current headlines. Now that Iran has played their turn and installed a familial leader (which the 1970s Ayatollah KHO-meini decried before his death), Trump is certainly having to deal with a chess move he hates. After all, why would he go through all this trouble only to have to go in circles and start again with another hardliner? It will be interesting to see Trump’s next move. Meanwhile, no one has seen or heard from the heir apparent yet, so is he dead, alive, or just MIA? Reminds one of Schrodinger’s poor old kitty, an analogy afforded us by none other than Jeff Childers of his Coffee and Covid blog. We also look at Israel, Monsanto, and some terror-related news that proves this is, and has always been, a wider war, a charge which legacy media has reserved for later, but it’s too late for that analogy. Ask Israel about this.

Mary Danielsen: Catholicism – A Cross Examination

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 15:43:58 +0000

Mary Danielsen

Mary takes on some of the questions she has personally had, and has received, about the Roman Catholic church over the course of many years. The number one question? “Are there true believers in the Catholic church?” That’s how we open this podcast and then take some of the main concerns people have and shine the light of truth on it, from the bible of course. If we have any other plumb line, we will be skewed in every spiritual category. When it comes to the vast numbers that adhere to this belief system, it is impossible to know or measure what each Catholic believes since it’s never been a one-size-fits-all religion; not just from diocese to diocese, but in the syncretistic way it is adapted to any culture around the world. But one thing we can know, is how does it measure up to sound doctrine? Today we put our thinking caps on and dive into the main themes. If someone claims to be born again, and doesn’t know the Word enough to see the false teaching they are submitting to in Catholicism, we have to wonder not just what their motivation is, but the motivation of the person who asks, “are their born again Catholics in that church?” Some straight shooting in this edition of SUFTT.

[Original airdate: 4/9/25] Mary welcomes Avery Foley from Answers in Genesis to talk about parenting in these times. With so many parenting styles over the decades, and home-school curricula, parents need to be not just intentional but also measure everything by the Word. We talk about the big issues of the day – are children mature enough to understand them? There was a time not only did these cultural issues remain hidden from children’s eyes, but the children were also allowed to fully experience childhood free from the knowledge of sexual and political understanding in a way far beyond their years. We talk about discernment in curricula; and helping kids make good choices in behavior and self discipline. Telling them what they did wrong, but also helping them choose better next time is critical to driving home the need for good character and responding biblically. She and her husband Trevor produce great children’s content in the form of educational and entertaining videos. They can be found here at Answers TV.

Alex Newman: Creatures Under the Bed, Bad Stuff in the Basement

When I was a kid, and I had to go down to the basement to fetch something for my mom, I hated opening that door. And once the errand was accomplished, I would run up the steps like the devil himself was after me. There was something about the dark and unknown that my naive little heart wanted nothing to do with. Today, the notion of gatekeepers and hall monitors for the deep state has that same effect on me. I don’t even want to open the door. But in an important conversation today with Alex Newman, we talk about one of the poster boys for basement level boogeymen: Jeffrey Epstein. He didn’t own a country or a title, wasn’t a Caesar, Kaiser or Tzar. And yet his influence is massive and we have to ask why. The answers may shock you. Why is the nation so obsessed with Epstein? We also talk about bad actors in public schooling and in climate agendas. A Deep State dive today on SUFTT.

Melissa Huray: My Chains Fell Off, My Heart Set Free

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 16:22:55 +0000

Mary welcomes Melissa Huray to the podcast to talk about true freedom in Christ. Melissa has dedicated the last 15 years to helping people with addictions find freedom through Jesus Christ. She is an Emmy award winning news reporter and anchor, and an addiction counselor with a Masters in Physiology. She is the Executive Director at the Lindell Recovery Network. Her books include Blackout to Blessing and Radical Freedom. She also hosts the Hope Report podcast. Today we look at her testimony of a dysfunctional family and the emptiness she felt as a youth. The deadly cost of gambling on alcohol’s temporary relief brought multiple arrests, harrowing car crashes, and many attempts to quit. She couldn’t save herself – but ultimately put her trust in the One who could set her free from all the pain. God has used her mightily and we talk about a God Who uses our darkest seasons to bring light to others.

Have we just entered into a season that is one of the most unpredictable since the Shah was overthrown in 1979? Even with the strength that President Reagan showed in releasing the American hostages from Iran’s volatile and brutal grip back then, perhaps President Trump has shown the most courage and resolve we have seen in decades with his Operation Fury to take out the wicked Ayatollah “Haman” Khameini. While some of the leftier among us are crying outrage just because it’s Trump, most citizens of the globe recognize the fact that the world, and the Mideast in particular, need LESS Khameinis, not more – or even one – and clearly Trump agrees. Siding with a tyrannical Islamic regime that kills its own is a form of insanity that no one can defend from a human standpoint. At any rate, God is working, because if it is as late as we think it is, it’s all part of Bible prophecy. Back in the 70s, for less than one dollar, one could purchase a Bic lighter and set stuff on fire easily. In today’s Mideast, with hatred all around stewing and brewing, especially for Israel, it doesn’t take much more than one of those to invoke a regional war. Tim and Mary invite you to be watching and waiting with them on our weekly Headline Days.

JB Hixson: Surrendered, Set Apart, Sanctified

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 16:15:37 +0000

Dr. JB Hixson

Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to explore a Bible topic that is both personal and practical: surrendering fully to Jesus. In John 3:29-30, we read, He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled. He must increase, but I must decrease. John was said by Jesus to be the greatest among those born of women, but the least in the kingdom. Now that is a conundrum and yet we understand the unique position John was in for all of history, and that he never saw the crucifixion or resurrection. So let’s get practical: what does that mean to decrease and give Jesus preeminence in our lives? What does this look like as the ultimate ministry model? How is the church doing on that front when we consider all the glory some ministries take for themselves? A timely hour with JB.

Dave Wager: Four Old Lessons

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 16:54:44 +0000

Today’s new episode of Stand Up For The Truth features Dave Wager teaching solo, walking listeners through what he calls “four old lessons” from the book of Job, anchored by 1 Peter 5:8, the warning to stay alert because the devil prowls like a roaring lion. Dave frames the whole conversation around “principles” versus opinions, perspectives, or methods. Principles do not change, regardless of feelings or culture, and Job’s story is used as a clear example. He starts with Job 1, highlighting Job’s integrity and unusual blessing, then pulls back the curtain to Job 1:6 and the heavenly scene where God points to Job as blameless and upright, showing that what heaven calls “great” is character, not comfort.

From there, Dave lays out the four lessons: (1) there is an active spiritual battle, (2) the fight centers on people, our allegiance and trust in God, (3) the crowd, even close friends, cannot define truth, and (4) believers must keep growing through humility and repentance. Along the way he illustrates spiritual attack with a vivid story about a cat tormenting a chipmunk, and he warns that deception often feels like “light” (2 Corinthians 11:14). Job’s response to loss becomes a model for suffering with worship and steady truth (Job 1:21), and God’s questioning in Job 38 becomes a reminder to focus on what we know about God when we cannot explain what we are living through. Dave closes by re-centering “blessing” as being used by God to represent Him, not simply having ease, and points listeners to God’s higher ways (Isaiah 55:8–9) and His proven Word as refuge (Psalm 18:30).

Headlines: The Age of Outrage

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 16:35:28 +0000

Mary Danielsen

Mary takes on some headlines today with a theme: why is everyone so angry? In particular, what things just set people off in a frenzy of emotional vitriol? Well, the nation of Israel for one, in particular those peculiar people of God, the Jews (we are all peculiar people according to the Bible) – those set apart as His own. People can’t seem to run out of things to be furious about. The nations, they do rage. We look at an article about Tucker – yes, another one on his encroaching insanity – but this one asks the question, what does he want from the Jews, that he is so obsessed? A foundational look. We also look at Gaza and the Peace Board’s plan to renovate it. But not just with brick and mortar – it will be the first controlled technocracy piece of real estate on earth. What does that mean? Then we talk about anger, what the Bible says about it and how to avoid just being part of the mob.

Don Veinot: Christianity in the Age of Re-Enchantment

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 16:27:31 +0000

Mary welcomes back seasoned apologist Don Veinot of Midwest Christian Outreach to talk about “sycretism” and why the majority of evangelicals embrace it to some level or another. What is syncretism? Is it those dreadful “Co-Exist” bumper stickers, or something more sinister? Syncretism is the mixing of one faith/belief system with another, it is mixing two things that aren’t supposed to go together. Accepting parts of each, but denying the whole. But the gospel cannot be divided and conquered to make us more comfortable. However, syncretism is the natural, meaning carnal, response to the Gospel. Some reject the Gospel completely. Others want to accept only part of the Gospel, merging specific aspects of it to fit their own ideas. We give quite a few examples, some of which might surprise the listener. Then we look at deconstruction – what it is and isn’t. One would hope that the one that is disappointed with orthodoxy on any level actually looked deeply into what Christianity actually teaches and then made a sober decision. Or is it emotional, a response to either God or man letting them down? A fundamental hour with Don.

Headlines: New Every Morning

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 16:42:31 +0000

Tim and Mary take a look at the news cycle once again, and while it generally resembles all the news cycles, one thing we can count on is that in Jesus, His mercies are new every morning; this can never be true in the world. He is the faithful one, and no matter how tiresome this world becomes, the one thing God says we need is His mercy, not more dark news about man’s inhumanity to man. So we start there, and then try and make sense of this divisive, judgment ready world. Today we look at the continued blame for everything on white men who love Jesus; Mike Huckabee’s attempt to reason with Tucker; and the world marching to the beat of Antichrist, especially in Europe where the spirit of the AC has preceded him. As interesting as it all is, and helpful to watch the times, Lamentations 3:22-26 says it all: “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore I hope in Him! The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” (NKJV)

Katherine Albrecht: Big Brother the Stalker, Ai the Predator

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 16:26:26 +0000

Mary welcomes author, speaker, consumer and privacy advocate Katherine Albrecht to the podcast. Her eyes on tech back in 2005 have been an invaluable resource for prophecy watchers. Here’s some 20th century trivia for you: Did you know that the Theremin, that odd instrument that eventually produced the eerie high-pitched wails for early sci-fi films and a certain Beach Boys hit, was invented by a Soviet spy to transmit military secrets back home as early as the late ‘20s? Truth is often stranger than fiction and radio frequency tech, the true startup of our surveillance age, contains enough dots to connect to keep us busy for years. Katherine is a true expert in all such things, and her book, “Spychips” served as a warning 20 years ago that not only is Big Brother a stalker but keeps stabbing us all in the back.

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 15:58:45 +0000

Pete Garcia and Mary Danielsen discuss the role of the watchman in the church [Original airdate: 10/20/23]; a lonely role that causes bible prophecy to be marginalized despite every sign in the world that it is on God’s front burner. Our worldview, which includes the imminent return of Christ, must not cave to biblical illiteracy for the sake of comfort or denial or any kind of theology that teaches that Jesus cannot return until the world has cleaned up all the messes it has made. Translation: “never” – because there is no indication that mankind is going to turn the corner on the darkness that has gripped the planet. And regarding Israel, it’s truly a spiritual battle and one that humans are all too willing to take sides on – and be wrong at the top of their lungs. Leftist indoctrination of the West about Israel has come home to roost and it’s a battle already begun by principalities and powers in heavenly places. Join us for a timely conversation with Pete.

J. Warner Wallace: Chasing Leads, Finding Truth

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 16:40:03 +0000

Mary welcomes back J Warner Wallace, author of the classic apologetics work, “Cold Case Christianity” to talk about how working leads in cold cases can yield so much spiritual wisdom. Can you imagine the learning curve in the life of a detective in a major city? How to be one step ahead of people, how to follow up on leads without compromising anything, and why in the world did so-and-so do that to that person? In our lawless world, we are all faced with sorting out such dilemmas at one time or another. In talking to Jim today, we look at a handful of leads that are used in the process of solving crimes, hot or cold. Who did they know? What were their priorities? Why do they keep running even when we know they are surrounded? How can we successfully ID the dangerous types in a world in which everyone is looking for their own ID, true or fake. Motive? Opportunity? While the world loves a good mystery, it does tell us a lot about who we are as humans, and while it seems we are determined to get to the truth in these cases, are we really the lovers of truth we claim to be? Especially when those truths are inconvenient and challenge our status quo. An enlightening hour with a very wise and discerning man. Book ’em Dano.

Mike Abendroth: Forgiveness – Mercy in a Merciless Age

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 16:24:45 +0000

Mary welcomes back Pastor Mike Abendroth to talk about forgiveness, such a timely topic in an age where selfishness and brutality seem to rule. What does the Bible teach us about forgiveness? What in the heart of God prepares us sinful humans to be forgiven, AND to forgive? The thing is, times not withstanding, the Word of God has the final say. And it is the characteristic mercy of God that even allows for it. We look at what mercy is, what grace is, what true forgiveness is – and what it isn’t. Yes people are brutal; they often don’t care about truth or mercy in their deepest inward parts. But God. Mike’s passion is preaching the Bible in a verse-by-verse fashion and training other men to do the same. Pastor Mike is also the author of the book entitled Jesus Christ: The Prince of Preachers. Mike has been the Senior Pastor at Bethlehem Bible Church (BBC) in West Boylston, MA since April 1997.

Feeling unsteady, like the earth itself is moving beneath? You are not alone. Despite the fact that the Bible predicts an increase in seismic activity, that’s not today’s topic. We try here on headline day to make a dent in the importance of a few of the biggest topics of the day, the biggest of which, on a global, historical, transformational level, is Ai. I hope we have succeeded in communicating a fraction of what it is, what it is quickly becoming, and why we have to care. The problem with a headline here or there, throwing names and companies out hoping we all remember the players somehow – is that doesn’t really give the big picture of why we should all be a bit gobsmacked by it – and educated. Tech IS undergirding our lives right now, at home and at work. In every corner of the world. Today we look at Matt Shumer’s viral February 9 article entitled, “Something Big is Happening”. And he is not wrong. Remember that big 70’s hit, “I Feel the Earth Move”? That’s also not wrong.

Katie Connell: Getting Off the Food Grid

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 16:30:12 +0000

Q90 ladies Katie and Mary take a look at a trending topic: Ultra-processed foods (UPFs). With the rise in both colon cancer and dementia among people far too young to worry about such things, fingers are being pointed at our chemical-riddled foods. Not just fast foods but anything in a package. Processed foods, those can be minimally processed with the addition of just water and salt, for instance. Canned veggies, tuna, that sort of thing. But UPFs, those have become way more prevalent on our shelves and have wreaked havoc on our health around the world. We have stopped reading labels it seems, because UPFs are associated with over 30 different chronic health conditions. What are some of the ingredients in UPFs? Seed oils, chemical names we cannot pronounce, sweeteners, salt, emulsifiers, thickeners, “flavor” and “color” enhancers – all that and more are causing inflammation and obesity in astonishing numbers. As wives and moms, we understand our unique placement in the home to see to it that our pregnancies, our kiddos, ourselves, and our mates are as healthy as possible, an important calling. We look at ways we can all save money at the store, the doc office – and the pharmacy. Get off the food grid.

[Original airdate 2/13/25] In today’s Stand Up for the Truth, Dave Wager and Jeremy Lundgren, president of Nicolet Bible Institute, discuss the impact of higher education on young people’s faith and direction. Lundgren shares his journey from studying construction to earning a Ph.D. in theology, emphasizing that education isn’t just about career paths but personal growth and faith formation. They challenge the fear of “wasting time” in college, encouraging students to focus on learning, responsibility, and trusting God’s guidance. Whether choosing a Christian or secular school, they stress the importance of knowing why you believe what you believe and surrounding yourself with mentors who will strengthen your faith.

Gary Kah

Mary welcomes back Gary Kah for a timely discussion on Iran, Islam, elections, and Jewish emigration to Israel. What is next for Iran, everyone is waiting impatiently. As much as we might have expected Trump to make a decision on that by now, it is so complex that regime change could effectively make things worse for the people there, in that it is a nation of 95 million people who may get something worse. And Israel, not exactly a wild card, might get involved if things drag on. But someday we may wake up to a Persian earthquake, politically. Then we talk about our leftist cities, how Islam is shaping elections and cities, and how urban life is perilous to the Jews these days. We look at Operation Exodus USA and their work in getting the Jews back safely to their homeland. Finally, some free-range chat about Bible prophecy.

Mary welcomes John Haller back to the conversation – and with his extensive understanding of the Middle East we always come away seeing things a bit more clearly. Today is no exception. John has dug deep into the weeds of what is going on over there and “complex” doesn’t begin to cover it at all. October 7, 2023 seems to have ushered in a new world over there (and over here) with a multi-layered event that has resulted in clarity about the players, their demonic hatred for the Jews, and the depths of antisemitism that have laid down a new normal around the world. Continuing down the hole, we have a wounded Iran ready to do whatever they want to bring chaos and violence to a new level. Also rising to the top are new players with hopeful new influence such as Turkey, Qatar, Syria, Oman, the UAE and more. All of a sudden it’s true globalism, and Trump is contributing to it greatly by bringing as many nations as possible to the table. What could possibly go wrong? Things are happening at an astonishing pace, and we are here to see it all unfold. Pray for wisdom, grace, and eyes to see, ears to hear.

Tim and Mary are back to stare boldly into the face of another news cycle that seems to get a bit darker by the day. With the Bible’s exhortation to stay alert and awake in hand, we try and make sense of several topics. Iran is first up. Who will strike first, America or Israel? Of course, Israel has threatened to go after Iran for probably 10 years now, so something WILL get done. And with Iran’s own brand of prophecy, as they await their last days leader, they represent an immovable object. There is no negotiating with them. We also look further at Ai, last week’s news of Moltbook as a bot social media platform was entertaining enough. Today’s headline is something about bots looking for humans to do tasks for them and pay them in crypto. Scam, or testing the waters to see how gullible we are? We may never know. We also look at the dark shadow of transgendering our kids, a shameful chapter in American history brought to you by people who hate America, the family unit, and our kids especially. So much to chat about, a full hour of wondering what in the world is next while keeping our lamps trimmed and shining brightly.

Andy Woods: The Lengthening Shadows

Mary welcomes back Pastor Andy Woods for another engaging conversation about things we need to stay on top of: first up is antisemitism. As shocked as we all were with the university protests back in 2023/24, now that those have faded from the headlines, now what? That is the challenge for us all because antisemitism continues to ramp up and if we go numb to it, we are missing a key element in making sure the perpetrators are held accountable. We also look at Jared Kushner’s Gaza plan, part of the Peace Board. So many moving parts here, but rebuilding Gaza is the number 1 goal and it might not take as long as people might think. Also on the agenda: military buildup near Iran; Noah Harari’s somewhat unhinged comments about religion and sacred texts. You cannot make this stuff up but existential types like him have no problem translating our world into an Ai dystopian-antichrist friendly-transhuman-God hating-nightmare. Lots of insights from the very sharp Andy Woods. Sugarland Bible Church will host their 5th annual Prophecy Conference February 20 and 21st.

Michael Johnson: Hope Behind the Headlines in the Slavic World

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 16:22:48 +0000

On today’s FRESH NEW PODCAST, host Dave Wager opens with 1 Corinthians 12:26, a reminder that the Body of Christ is connected, when one member suffers, we suffer together. His guest is Michael Johnson, president of Slavic Gospel Association, who also brings a strong communications background to the role. Michael began his career in international advertising (1986–1995) as an account manager and supervisor serving major consumer brands, then moved into nonprofit agency leadership at KMA Direct Communications and Douglas Shaw and Associates, serving as Senior Vice President for 11 years before rejoining SGA. In this conversation, that blend shows up clearly, he’s telling the story of gospel work with clarity, history, and real-world outcomes, while emphasizing that the mission stays rooted in faithful local churches.

Michael walks listeners through SGA’s roots and purpose. Founded in 1934 by Peter Deyneka, the organization began by supporting believers behind the Iron Curtain through covert Bible distribution and Christian radio partnerships, strengthening Christians who often had to listen in secret at great personal risk. Today, the focus is still the same at its core, equipping local churches instead of sending western missionaries, with a network that includes thousands of evangelical Baptist congregations across the former Soviet region. Michael notes he is building on the biblical and ministry foundation laid by Peter Deyneka and Bob Provost, with Bob continuing to advise as President Emeritus. As the discussion turns to the war in Ukraine, the theme becomes practical compassion, the church as a visible refuge, including their “Heat and Hope” effort to resource churches with generators and supplies so they can serve as centers of warmth, help, and gospel hope during harsh winters.

Dr. JB Hixson

Mary welcomes JB back to the podcast to discuss heaven. Yes, Jesus promised to go and prepare a place for us, but he qualifies it like this: “no one comes to the Father except by Me.” Is that exclusive, or inclusive? Or both? No other religion on earth promises heaven to its adherents – and even in Christianity, it further teaches that it must be via a narrow way, and by way of the new birth. Everyone dies, we all have that in common. Life after death? Well, it depends on who you believe for that. What is an afterlife? What can we look forward to in heaven, scripturally speaking? Only Jesus can remove the sting of death with eternal life. How do we know it’s all true? Hint: The Resurrection. Such great news, such a mighty bright future. All that and more on heaven with JB, to end your week on a high note.

We have noticed over the years that we can throw details of current affairs at Chris Quintana and he never ducks nor flinches. And so shall it be as Mary welcomes back Chris to talk about so many things. What does it mean to be “rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic?” Focusing on silly plastic lounge chairs instead of lifeboats? We will ask him about that, along with what exactly Don Lemon was thinking he would encounter when he entered that church; what the protestors think it means to use a concealed carry for running toward trouble; and why Minnesota? We ask Chris what that first amendment means to these peculiar circumstances. We also look at the church’s level of discernment when it comes to charismatic excesses as they relate to the Bethel/Shawn Bolz big tale of gullibility. Also: with another Super Bowl comes another round of “He Gets Us” adverts; and finally, the dreaded mid terms. Are there ever any real winners in any given election cycle? What are we hoping for vs what we will likely get? Count on Pastor Chris to have more than one complete thought on pretty much anything.

Today’s news cycle takes us beyond simple chatbot Ai and into the next wave: Agentic Ai. Simply trying to keep up with advances in Ai tends to give the impression that people are up 24 hours a day making changes to all the expectations, and rearranging what we think we know into something we cannot possibly truly understand. Ai is completely upending all we know about how the world works, and redefining everything from the military to the work world, to finances. So many questions are going unanswered, but from a human standpoint, what does it do to our uniqueness as human beings, our free will, our morality? Who is running this show? A full hour on tech that is will not be obsolete next week – but we might.

Headlines: Nation Against Nation, Kingdom Against Kingdom

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 16:40:29 +0000

On this week’s headline podcast, Tim and Mary take on some of the huge changes that are causing societal upheaval. First we talk about the entirety of the climate hoax and how it appears that nations and institutions are backing off a bit on the hysteria. Why? Because, well, it’s a hoax and while they will never admit that, the economics of it tells the tale of the tape. Not only is the stodgy legacy media going dark about it, but the UK itself is feeling “the heat” of failure in the form of manufacturing decline and citizen suffering on a day to day level. Then we take on some pretty sad immigration tales, such as Ireland, which is finding its people being replaced by the diversity of illegal immigration. When we have to ask “what is an Irishman anyway?”, it’s gone too far but no one is available currently to stop it. We also look at other dynamics of such policies, and who is Amelia, anyway? You can’t make this stuff up. Another full hour of watching the world go down the tubes, yet pointing upward to the greatest Hope of all.

Mondo Gonzales: The Age of Intensity

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 16:42:13 +0000

Mary welcomes back Mondo Gonzales to look at current headlines through the lens of the intensity of events. Are things really cranking up or is there just more coverage? Even with the volume bar in the red, Jesus’ words about birth pangs rises above the tumult and warns us that events will crank up with both frequency and intensity. What is fueling the rage, the ideologies, the intensity? We stand back and watch and really don’t comprehend the craziness which feeds upon itself. Then there’s President Trump, who doesn’t mind shaking up the system that leftists thought was in their own iron-fisted control. If you just stand back and watch, you might even be amused. But it’s spiritual, and someone is shaking the nations from within. We talk about globalism, tech, Israel, and “peace, peace, where there IS no peace.”

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:00:17 +0000

[Originally aired 3/27/25] In the first half of today’s podcast, Mary chats with Dr. Ted Baehr, long-time authority on the media and the importance of having standards and guardrails in place to ensure that our kids are mentally and emotionally equipped to live as spiritually and socially healthy adults. Unfortunately, many Christian parents also partake in morally bankrupt, dark media that affects their walk with Christ and their day to day family life. Should families be arguing daily about their kids’ time on smart devices? Might that be a sign of an unhealthy view and place of entertainment in our households? Dr. Ted is Founder and Publisher of MOVIEGUIDE®: The Family Guide to Movies and Entertainment and Chairman of the Christian Film & Television Commission® ministry, as well as a noted critic, educator, lecturer, and media pundit. His life’s purpose is to be used of God to redeem the values of the media while educating audiences on how to use discernment in selecting their entertainment. Movieguide has 4,000+ Faith Based Articles and Movie Reviews to help families navigate today’s media. Following the chat with Ted, we continue to talk about media and families and how to protect our dearest gifts – the youngsters God has entrusted us with.

David Holland: Global Smackdown – US v Globalists

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 16:32:47 +0000

Mary welcomes back financial guru David Holland to talk about the blowtorch maneuver that Trump used at Davos. As another WEF summit winds down, we know less about globalism and its enduring (not endearing) qualities than we ever did. Trump pushed some buttons for sure, and this caps off the first year of his second term. In 2025 we saw trade policies, tariffs, foreign policy, and alliances all get shaken. The Mideast has altered significantly, topped off by Trump’s “Board of Peace” initiative. It’s impossible to even guess what this year holds in the arena of cryptocurrencies, surveillance systems, inflation, and Ai, but we still see Trump’s America First policies holding firm. And so many do not like it and aren’t afraid to say so. But what did the globalists expect with their pandemic panic run-through that was horribly mishandled? Trust? Or just flat-out tyranny? So we go to David for some free-range conversation about all of it, and look at what to watch for. A full hour on financial stuff – minus the glowing puppies this time.

Trey Dellinger: the Culture, the Pulpit, and the Courthouse

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 16:40:58 +0000

Mary welcomes back Trey Dellinger, the Senior Legal Fellow of AFA Action, the government affairs affiliate of American Family Association. Trey has his finger on the pulse of the moral issues that affect our churches and our families. Today we look at the current SCOTUS cases on trans athletes in women’s sports. Trey gives us the rundown on those cases and why he has reason for optimism. Then we look at the first amendment as it relates to protesters storming churches. Whether it’s for attention or to bait Christians about race and their perspectives on what is important, we have to see what our rights are as believers. We also take a look at how our kids can be better protected online, since parents aren’t always the best gatekeepers – although that is their job. Finally we look at Human Trafficking Prevention month. So many moral issues, how do we keep up, and how can we help pastors keep up as well?

Headlines: Waiting for that Proverbial Shoe to Drop

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 16:10:34 +0000

Tim and Mary Danielsen take a look at the current news cycle, of course a continuation of the previous one – and yet the incremental increase in chaos and wickedness bears mentioning. “Waiting for the other shoe to drop” is one way to describe the edge-of-the-seat posture that today’s headlines tend to invoke. But in the case of the unknown shoe, it very much applies to that global war that seems to be always in the next news cycle. Are nations just being very cautious? Or is there more maneuvering going on? Some say that Trump and the right are warmongerers, but a case could be made that the Dems have been responsible for all the major wars of the last 150 years. Either way, whether it’s global war, civil war in the states, the economy or the Mideast, shoes could all drop at once one of these days, redefining chaos as we have known it. A full hour of headlines and commentary.

JB Hixson: Keeping Watch in the Night – Church Trends

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 16:18:55 +0000

Dr. JB Hixson

Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to talk about trends in the church that bear continual surveillance. Putting together 10 was no challenge at all. So what are we watching? Everything from the state of biblical authority to tech to self-induced isolation from each other. And when you throw in the rise of preterism and the waning of dispensationalism, that tells us an awful lot about interest in the blessed hope. Americans are unique in the world in our emphasis on independence and personal freedoms – that “personal relationship” that is not meant to be stuffed into a bottle but translate into evangelizing, fulfilling the “one anothers” and bearing each others burdens. But all too often all we are seeing is the warning that Paul gave Timothy about the last days and lovers of selfism. Choosing a church based on emotion and what’s in it for us is a community killer. And so many of these trends reflect that, the busy busy church that really doesn’t even disciple, as if being busy is the mark of a Spirit-filled congregation. And just as Paul warns us what flows from selfism is very bad, so it would seem – and a lot of it is, well, really bad. A very full hour with Pastor JB.

BE ADVISED: NUMEROUS INTERNET DROP OUTS WITH GUEST’S CONNECTION! #SpiritualWarfare

[Original airdate: 2/7/25] In today’s installment of Stand Up, Mary welcomes Marcia Montenegro to discuss her revised classic, “Spellbound: The Paranormal Seduction of Today’s Kids”. In her book, she gives a wealth of information on each aspect of sorcery and the paranormal, and how parents can discern if their children are dabbling in it. With so many aspects of it, and so much media, it’s impossible to believe that most kids and teens aren’t dabbling in it. We discuss astrology, oujia boards, psychics, spells, and much more. Before becoming a Christian, Marcia was involved for many years in Eastern spiritual beliefs (Hindu and Buddhist), New Age, and Occult practices. She was also a certified, professional astrologer who taught astrology for several years and served as chairperson of the Astrology Board of Examiners (ABE) and President of the Astrological Society in Atlanta, GA. Through her full-time ministry, Christian Answers for the New Age (CANA), Marcia speaks around the country at churches and conferences and on numerous radio broadcasts, internet webcasts, and podcasts. She has articles published in various magazines and written chapters included in books on the New Age and Occult topics.

Pastor Claude Stauffer: Adding to the Church in Iran; Making Disciples Everywhere

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 16:27:13 +0000

PASTOR CLAUDE STAUFFER

Mary welcomes back Pastor Claude Stauffer of Calvary Chapel in Amityville, NY to talk about the church side of the headlines concerning Iran. The cost of conversion there is a life or death matter of course, because it conflicts in every way with Islam. Is there revival going on there? Or is revival fueling the revolution at this juncture in 2026? We talk about the numbers, the cost and how God continues to use Persia for His own purposes – across the ages. Then we look at discipleship in the New Year, via Matthew 1-4. New Years’ resolutions are pretty useless, but God’s Word never returns void. Since that is our commission, to go and make disciples of all men, what better way to start things out than to learn more about how to do that. A full hour with a man who truly loves God’s Word and it transformative effects. Pray for Iran, for the believers there, that they too can make disciples boldly, and fearlessly.

Julaine Appling: We Will Rebuild – The Family

Julaine Appling is back to give hope to us all regarding putting out the fires that ravage the family unit, thanks to progressive and wicked agendas doing all they can to relight their disasters. Middle America and those who remember what this nation is built upon – what society has always been structured around – aren’t giving up, and they still hold to traditional values. Too bad we can’t continue on economically, because the one-income dream of the 50s and 60s is long past. Why is that? We look at the effects this has had on the family over the last 50 years. We also take a look at the related issue of affordable housing. Are any states at least making an effort to help young families have good affordable housing? If the government is going to tear down all we have known, the least they could do is offer incentives or grants to clean up their mess. Another topic today is a resolution in the assembly to keep churches open in the event of another pandemic attack on our freedoms. Let’s close the craft stores next time and keep the worship portion alive. All that and more with the knowledgeable and articulate Julaine Appling.

Headines: Persians, Shahs, and Ayatollahs, O My

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 16:18:09 +0000

Today we take a look at the momentous events in Iran. From the 1950s overthrow by the CIA of an elected prime minister, to a shah, to the ayatollahs, Iran has had a rich and long world history. How are today’s headlines significant in the scheme of things, including Israel? Why did God give a mention to the Persian empire in Daniel? What is the nature of protests here regarding Iran? We look in-depth at several key bits of information, including the role of the Shah’s son as he tweets encouragement across the fruited internet. Since Iran is in Bible prophecy we have to at least peek into what is going on. We also look at the United States of Protest, where mob rule, a lynch mob mentality, just might get worse this year. We already know who is fomenting and sponsoring it, buy why do people seem so attracted to all that anger? Because they have been told to be angry? What can we learn if we put both nations side by side? Well, Americans fighting for freedoms they already have is one way to look at it, while Iranians are dying for significant life and death issues.

Olivier Melnick: Standing Firm Against the Tide of Antisemitism

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 16:27:02 +0000

Mary welcomes back Olivier Melnick to talk about the shocking levels of what we might call “totalitarian antisemitism” that exist and why things are so much worse today than in the 1930s and 40s. While the Nazis had their propaganda machine that reached far into Europe, it was nothing compared to the digital propaganda machine we are staring at day in and day out. We discuss the five reasons why we have surpassed that 20th century evil day, and what it means for our world. For anyone who was around then, this concept should be especially frightening, even for those who grew up in the 1960s and 70s, we have to wonder how this was allowed on our watch. We also look at the fear factor for those who live in places where their safety is compromised, and how the pressure to disavow their identity adds to the problem of “erasure”. A “refusnik” was historically a Jew who was denied the right to leave Russia for Israel from the 1950s to around 1990 when Russia finally allowed Jews to leave. Here in 2026 it also means someone who refuses to allow their culture to be erased. How can we be refusniks, and encourage, stand with, and support those who need a dose of courage in light of this global problem? What other ethnic/race/culture would be allowed to suffer such malevolent wrongdoings, except the Jews?

Replay – Brian Young: Evidence for the Exodus

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 16:00:45 +0000

[Original airdate 1/30/25] In this installment of Stand Up, we explore the archaeological evidence for the Exodus with Creationist Brian Young of the Creation Instruction Association. If you are a student of the Bible and believe it is the Word of God from beginning to end, you might not ever have asked this question over, say, a 7 day creation issue or any other hot topic in the church today. If you ask scholars, or even just generative Ai, you will get the answer that it is a myth and it doesn’t matter because, well, what a great story! But this approach is largely secular – and dangerous. Because history, and especially biblically archaeological history is so exhilarating, we should welcome any evidence that all those people who lived so long ago were part of one of the great events in Israel’s history, and it speaks of a God who tells us exactly what He wants us to know for His good purposes. Given that Israel had grown to represent a fairly large number over the 430 years, evidence of their lives should be available in one form or another. A fascinating topic for discussion and study.

Headlines: By the Numbers

Today Tim and Mary take a look at 2025 and 2026 – by the numbers. We look back at the top prophetic stories, and forward at the challenges to the church. We also look ahead at the top tech trends, what can we expect? So far, 2026 has proven to be a challenge in that we didn’t get too far into it before we saw what seemed to be emerging as a rumours-of-war state of affairs. What will the Venezuelan action bring regarding other nations that export drugs and terror? Will Trump stop with Venezuela, or are Cuba, Mexico and Iran on the block too? What to make of a shaky start for the year? There are so many avenues to travel down, and we don’t know the general future, but we have a great roadmap in the Scriptures regarding the mountain tops of prophecy. It’s what happens in the valleys that keep us guessing, and so we do the headline thing, to keep us on our toes. A full hour, early in the new year.

Terra, co-host of the Q morning show, has been a committed educator, advocate and trainer in the fight against human trafficking for over 20 years. Today in light of Human Trafficking Prevention month we utilize her expertise in exposing the crime most “hidden in plain sight”, and to bring the stats and put virtual faces to the victims of such horrible exploitation. What is it? Where does it take place? What does recruitment look like? And most importantly – how technology enables it to reach into our kids’ very bedrooms with fear and threats in something called “sextortion”. We talk about how porn fuels the demand and exports it around the world from the decadent culture of the west. Educate, Locate, Advocate. Parents, don’t sit this out, stay alert. An educational hour with someone who knows the specifics – and wants you to know the whats and hows as well.

DON SHIRE

Today on Stand Up For The Truth’s new podcast, Dave Wager sits down with longtime friend and global missionary Don Shire of DSM International. Don shares how God took an ordinary guy with a trumpet and opened doors to ministry in 38 countries, using music to draw crowds and the gospel to change hearts. Along the way, Don watched needs rise up right in front of him, and those needs became real, boots-on-the-ground work: orphan care, schools, church building, widow ministry, and training local believers to serve their own communities.

The heartbeat of the episode is simple and personal, God still uses willing people. Dave anchors the conversation in 1 Timothy 2:1–4, calling listeners to pray, intercede, and give thanks, and reminding us that God desires people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. Before the hour is over, you will hear a clear invitation to stop treating missions like a distant idea, pray for what God is doing through Don, and consider participating, financially and faithfully, in the work the Lord is doing around the world through DSM International.

Headlines: If You Know, You Know

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 16:34:29 +0000

On this final headline cycle of 2025, we find ourselves looking at headlines that aren’t terribly surprising. In fact, once again, the main casualty of the world is TRUTH. Everything flows from that. What we lose we can never get back when it comes to fabrications all around us. So we start out by looking at the continuing degradation of truth in the culture outside of Christ. Then we take a page from our “willful ignorance” file, the one that tells us that the people running Australia willfully suppress the truth, just like Romans says will happen. From our “we already knew that” file, we learn that the hysteria about some sort of “Super Flu” was just that – hype. Test more, get bigger numbers. It’s still a pack of lies and here we go again. From our “we knew that was coming” file, we pull out the one that tells us that we have to cancel New Years’ events because of that thing called “global intifada”. What results were the immigration idolators expecting, exactly? And so goes the world as we turn over another day on the calendar. It’s just another day.

Mary Danielsen: Growing Up in All Things

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 16:20:53 +0000

Mary Danielsen

Well, we told you so: 2026 was coming. And we even counted it down on headline days. So while that’s not terribly profound, we all get a week or two to remember to number our days and God says that’s wisdom. While we’re thinking about it, we often resort to New Year’s resolutions to ease the pain of past fails. It might be related to our behaviour, our self-discipline or lack thereof, but we all understand starting fresh, turning a page. But outside of Christ, is wholesale change really just a fantasy? By February, how’s it going? If the answer is “not so well”, we have a far better way: Christian maturity. Growing up in all things unto Christ our Head. The template for all this is the church, but how is THAT going? Not so well. Nevertheless, Christ is the Head, our ever-living Head who sanctifies us by His blood, by His grace. Today we look at some perspectives on how the culture at large has returned to using pacifiers like media and self-love to go the other direction, also known as the Eternal Adolescence of the American Mind. We need grown ups in the culture, and in the church particularly. How does one influence the other? A long look at the 20th century youth cult and what we need to do to grow up.

Originally aired 9/11/25: Mary welcomes back Bill Wilson of The Daily Jot to pull the curtain back on some inconvenient truths – inconvenient for those who don’t like truth telling, anyway. In the aftermath of yesterday’s shocking headline of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, sometimes the bedrock of truth will go head to head with wickedness and a high price is paid. Worldviews clash daily in these times, but embedded in the series of decisions that were made to take this man’s life over ideology is the true definition of “crossing the rubicon” – and America will take a long time to recover from this, if we do. Today we also discuss the the political polarization fallout of the Sars/Cov pandemic, accompanied by the general declining trust in public health measures that followed, along with more intense political division. If it only took a couple weeks for Fauci and his ilk to shut our country down, why has it taken an additional 4 years to finish a thought on the scam of the century? Well, there are those who are finally getting around to spelling it out. We also chat about lawfare against Trump’s agenda, Senator Tim Kaine’s radical views, and the myth of the Palestinian State. Set for September 22, the UN is continuing to push hard for that unknown state for an unknown people (see, “terrorists”). But Trump has disallowed visas for Mahmoud Abbas and 80 of his closest friends in terror. Now what? Well, change of venue perhaps. Stay tuned. A full hour with a prophecy watcher and journalist.

Dave Wager: From Bethlehem to Eternity, Why Christmas Still Changes Everything

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 26 Dec 2025 17:02:24 +0000

Today is a special teaching from host Dave Wager. He slows down the Christmas story and reads Luke 2:1–21, letting the details land, Caesar’s decree, Joseph and Mary’s trip to Bethlehem, the manger, the angel’s announcement, the sky filled with praise, and the shepherds rushing in to see what God had made known. From there, Dave brings in reflections from V. Raymond Edmond’s 1960 book Wiser Than They Thought, using imagined conversations and scenes to help us picture what it may have felt like for real people to be standing in the middle of something they could not fully explain. The shepherds are shown as working a routine night shift when heaven interrupts it, and Dave uses that to challenge listeners to stop assuming God only works in “big moments.” He can move in the middle of the normal day, if we’re paying attention.

As the program continues, Dave connects the shepherds’ encounter to other “windows into eternity” in Scripture. He points to Luke 15, where Jesus says there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents, and he turns that into a simple, personal appeal: heaven is not bored, and your response to Christ matters. He also leans on Luke 16’s account of Lazarus and the rich man to underline the seriousness of eternity and the hope of being carried home by God’s provision, not by our own goodness. He returns again and again to the heart of Christmas: God does not need us, but He wants us, love invites a real choice, and salvation is a gift purchased by Jesus, the baby in the manger who became the man of the cross. The closing takeaway is clear, Christmas is not a seasonal story, it’s a fact that changes life now, and it calls each listener to respond to Christ with faith and obedience.

Headlines: Good Tidings. Great Joy.

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 17:18:34 +0000

As we celebrate another Christmas on this side of eternity, we want to halt the news in its tracks (since there are never good tidings nor great joy most weeks) and talk about Isaiah, David’s throne, and some of the lighter things that make the holidays joyful. It’s always bittersweet, Christmas – because the chains we have that tie us to this planet mean we suffer hurt, loss and difficulty all through the year. But at the same time that sweet-sour paradigm allows us to rejoice and carry on because on the other side is hope. For those who aren’t drawn into the study of last days, we need to ask ourselves why, because we can’t get to the hope part quite yet. Jesus IS our hope, and while the things of God seem far away at times, He is ever near. He will return. We look at Isaiah 9 which is loaded with familiar Christmas verses, but what are the deeper aspects? Unto us. A Child is born. Children are born every day in the flesh. Oh wait – a Son is given! Humanity, and divinity in one verse. We also talk Christmas carols, full of doctrine; the promise of a Messiah on David’s throne despite a curse in the lineage, and who exactly were those Magi? A fun hour of chat about holiday Spirit and letting God use us however that might look right now.

Mary Danielsen: In the Days of Those Kings – Expect Turbulence

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 16:21:29 +0000

Mary Danielsen

Mary takes some time today to focus on the end game, geopolitically – and at what point the world runs out of real estate to do a global build-out designed for the final rebellion against Jesus Christ at His coming. The image in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, the metal man depicting the significant world powers that will succeed each other from Babylon to Rome, is one of the greatest, most astonishing prophecies the world has ever been privy to. The end of the matter tells us that in the days of those Roman Empire kings, the toes of the image, the revived Roman Empire – God will set up His everlasting kingdom. As joyous as that is to think about, the process involves going from Satan’s kingdom of man that has ruled for millennia, to the righteous Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is often depicted as the birth process, birth pangs – that increase in frequency and intensity. It also can be summed up this way: “expect turbulence”, and you frequent flyers will understand that. We look at how Satan even got this world as a prize, how he fell, why he was able to offer it to Jesus – and maybe why he has saved his most awful bag of tricks for this late hour. We also look at the importance of Genesis in interpreting Revelation. Most churches don’t pay any heed to their connection, but it is incredible to see all the events that begin in Genesis having their fulfillment in Revelation. As we are on the verge of a new year, let’s be found watching and waiting, and building up our knowledge and understanding of why things are the way they are.

Mary welcomes back Pastor and prophecy teacher David Bowen to look at moments that mattered in 2025. In my lifetime, we largely viewed a new year as a clean slate, filled with potential. Since 2020, we’re pretty much just holding our collective breath, expectations being at historic lows. If I were a youth today, and if I did not have Jesus in my life, I would wonder who what and how this world got so irrevocably messed up. it’s tempting to find someone to blame, but Bible prophecy clearly tells us that this is exactly what we can expect. Nevertheless, with the knowledge of Jesus comes the knowledge of the tension between futility and hope. It’s always difficult to look at current events and come away hopeful, but that is exactly what should happen if we are focused on the Kingdom to come. We talk about 6G with David, the surveillance state, Israel, social credit scores, and much more. What will 2026 look like? We have no idea really, because the devil is in the details, yes – but God is in the big picture. Hopefully, excitement about the wrapping up of all things is contagious.

Russ Miller: From Misinformation to Evil Fruit

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 16:45:53 +0000

Mary welcomes back Creationist Russ Miller to talk about the season of time we are in, which altogether looks like an end game in so many ways. Sometimes we think that the world remained somewhat static in culture and innovation until the 1800s, at which time there was an explosion of change in the 20th century. That’s not wrong, because the pace and scale of global transformation has accelerated in dramatic fashion, particularly with the Industrial and Scientific Revolutions. We also think in the church that evolution is the only thing we can think of that has continually warred against a biblical worldview. But the explosion of philosophies and religious movements have also played a huge role. We talk briefly about what those movements were and are, and then zero in on evolution in particular as the bearer of the most rotten fruit we can imagine over several categories: education, morals, socialism and Marxism, and science probably above all. An hour of dot-connecting with a highly knowledgeable creation apologist whose many Grand Staircase tours, conference sessions and church and college messages have helped to educate and build up the Christian church about the lies of old earth/evolutionary theory.

Headlines: When the True Light Comes

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 16:44:54 +0000

Tim and Mary take a look at the headlines, once again – and another news cycle that just bears out how late the hour is. Waking up to a weekend of violence, we have to not only ask ourselves why, but it makes us want to shout from the hilltops: “Enough! Stop it!” The average American does struggle with the lawlessness we witness in bundles sometimes, but we feel completely helpless to do anything about it. We look at why the evil is so ramped up. We also take a look at Europe and it’s unbelievable, unrelenting pursuit of a surveillance state. It makes us all wonder who exactly gave who permission to look at every chat and text their citizens send. Also, we have to examine the underpinnings of the Australian Hanukkah rampage and discuss what Hanukkah actually is. The signs were all there, but just like October 7, there wasn’t enough time or energy to take any of it seriously. How dark will it get before the True Light returns for His people?

Scott Townsend: The Church, the World, and the Pull of Ai

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 16:24:14 +0000

Mary welcomes back researcher, author and prophecy student Scott Townsend to chat specifically on Ai in the church. This is a murky subject, because the church has existed for over 2000 years and never once said to itself, “gee we need technology to carry out our mission in the world.” And it will always be so, because worship, discipleship, study and fellowship do not need any additives or preservatives. Yet here we are, ethically working through this thing that the whole world is coming under, as if on cue. The Bible, interestingly enough, only mentions the end game of it, we are in real time seeing its genesis. How can the prophecy student not be on the edge of their seats over this fulfillment in real time? We talk about the issues at hand that the church, which is not to be conformed to this world, had better take seriously in order to be truly effective and rely on our true source of power, the Holy Spirit.

Replay – Britt Gillette: The Global Economy – Bubbles, Booms and Busts

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 15:55:47 +0000

[Original airdate: 1/9/25] Mary Danielsen welcomes back Britt Gillette and his wealth of knowledge about all things economic. Today’s system that seems to be held together with duct tape reminds me of the children’s nursery rhyme that says, “when the bough breaks…” – and then spells out the end quite clearly. Considering that the economy now global impacts us all on earth, what might 2025 bring? The last couple years have seen threats of bank closures and the cancelling of accounts of those the globalists don’t like, namely, conservatives and Christians. Alarming enough, but there is so much more going on, in particular the over-valuation of the stock market. We will rely on Britt to help us sort that out, along with the real estate market, Asian economics and their stock markets, and how AI will affect the economy in the next several years. According to the IMF, AI is a game changer for labor in particular, but also how considerable funds will be poured into the global markets from everything tech. A complex subject made easier by Britt Gillette, because while most of us rely on our pocketbook to tell us things have gone haywire, we can also rely on people with his expertise to help us dig deeper. His extensive YouTube channel can be found here.

Patrick Wood: The Final Betrayal – The Technocrats’ Coup

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 17:03:45 +0000

Mary welcomes back the foremost expert in technocracy, Patrick Wood. He has studied the global elite and their schemes since the 1970s, and the origins of their seeds of control. Here on the cusp of 2026, he is the one to tell us just how they did it. If you want an education on Ai and where we are at since Trump took office, this is the podcast for you. His new book, “The Final Betrayal” is not just a cautionary tale, but a handbook on the history of Technocracy. Beginning in the 1930s, movers and shakers wondered out loud why we couldn’t just shake off governents, politicians, and bureaucracy and just have a techno-tyranny that took care of us all from cradle to grave. Think about how little they knew about tech – just like the sci-fi movie creators of the day – but that didn’t stop them from dreaming big on behalf of future generations. Which proves that it’s ideology that runs the world, not tech. Tech is just a tool. We talk about Musk, Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin, cryptos, stablecoins, and algorithms. Our goal is that the listener be on their collective toes when it comes to watching our President usher in what he calls a competitive age of Ai. Is that what it’s about?

Jim Fletcher: Bibi’s Lawfare; Tucker Qatarlson; Hello from the Hasmoneans

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 16:16:35 +0000

Mary welcomes back Jim Fletcher to take on an assortment of significant news finds. First up, Bibi Netanyahu is mired in the lawfare portion of his leadership. Just like Trump, he has had to live in the shadow of charges (“trumped” up?) since 2020. How has this affected his work? The prosecution rested in 2024, but this could go on and on. Next we look at some fantastic archaeological finds: Temple Zero, and a Hasmonean-era c wall, a massive structure that had a great presence in Jerusalem at one time. Who were the Hasmoneans, and what was this wall for? Very significant proofs, like so many found in Israel, of the veracity of the historicity of the Scriptures. Then we look at Tucker and the growing chip on his shoulder, why is he in Qatar anyway? Finally, some apostasy verses that should indeed sober the church right on up. Jim’s books, “The God That Answers by Fire”, and “Zechariah 2” are absolutely must reads for the prophecy student. A great hour with one of the best and most knowledgeable minds about Israel’s past, present, and future.

Headlines: Winding Down, and Winding Up II

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 16:51:37 +0000

Tim and Mary look at some of the top headlines of the last week. We often ask ourselves, are things winding down, or winding up? Civilization seems to be winding down, in the classic historical sense. What is winding up is prophecy, marching to judgment in an unrepentant world. Where is that pivot point? As we head into another Christmas season, we know that the big moment that changed everything was “unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given”. For God so loved, he GAVE. Ever since that proclamation, lovers of Jesus have anticipated His return. And all the more reason with Israel securely a nation state on the world scene. And that’s just one sign, albeit a huge one. So today, we continue to point to the wind up and the wind down, talking about the focus now on the Middle East and Israel in particular. The Word tells us that there will be a conclusion to the ‘times of the Gentiles’, so we know that one dispensation will wind down, and Israel’s redemption will wind upward. Another topic today is the latest from the Pope and his pro-Islam pandering, pretty disturbing on every level. Meanwhile, in churches around the nation, pastors are getting creative with Ai in multiple ways. The question is, are they as easily calling on the Holy Spirit to guide, direct and teach? This is an uncomfortable question for those who believe a church should be Spirit led, not Ai driven. We also take apart the Minnesota welfare scandal, and no one should be saying anyone “meant well” on this one. A full hour.

John Haller: The World Ahead, 2026

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 16:49:36 +0000

Mary welcomes John Haller to chat about what the world thinks about itself as we approach another revolution around the sun. Since 1986, The Economist has published it’s very own version of short-term prophecy as it relates to the upcoming year. Their covers alone for this issue are worth looking at, seeing at a glance what they think are critical issues that will carry over. Of course, we have the sure word of prophecy to give us the big Kodak, but it’s still fascinating to take it apart and see what they expect. Topics this year include Europe, war and peace, Ai, climate, and geopolitics. One of the biggest celebrations will be America’s 250th – unfortunately, every revisionist and political self-interest group will have a spin, and it will be nothing like 1976. Although, nothing resembles 1976 anyway but really, they will find a way to divide us further and ruin the whole event. The wild card really is Trump, and as John says, this is Trump’s world, we are merely living in it. We never know what to expect. We also get an update from John on his 2 Israel trips this fall. A full hour with one of the best news cycle analysts around.

Original airdate: 12/12/24: Mary welcomes back Carl Kerby of Reasons for Hope Ministries, an apologetics ministry that covers many different areas and ways to contend for the faith. In these days of moral ambiguity and outright amorality, the porn industry is one of the most insidious, soul trashing industries under the sun. Statistics regarding the popularity of this pursuit are stunning, having increased tremendously over just the last few years. It is estimated that 28,258 users watch porn every second and 35% of all internet downloads are related to porn; 64% of the 18-24 demographic seek it out on a weekly basis. When you add human trafficking as a supplier, there is clearly no lack of demand and it may never go the other direction. We chat about what families can do to keep it far from their homes and thus honor God in this matter as we are commanded. In the 2nd half, we will talk about a book series from Reasons for Hope that are certainly family friendly and edifying, their “Fascinating Facts” series, and how they would make a great Christmas gift. Homeschooling has enjoyed a wonderful renaissance due to Covid, and ministries have truly stepped up with great resources, Reasons for Hope is no exception.

JB Hixson: Great and Precious Promises

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 16:23:14 +0000

Dr. JB Hixson

Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to talk about the great and precious promises found throughout God’s Word. How many are there? How long do you have? A common number is about 8,000, more in the OT than in the NT. But some say, depending upon how you parse them out, that there could be as many as 30,000. Of course, if God doesn’t keep every single one, He is not Who He says He is. So, what can we conclude except, He is a God Who keeps them ALL. What does that mean for you and I? Well, from Genesis onward, since God promised to send a Saviour to fix our terminal sin problem, all of His promises are yea and amen. And the categories for said promises? Abundant life, a crown of life, a heavenly home, assurance, comfort, answers to prayer, deliverance, protection, the Spirit, power for service, resurrection, rest, wisdom, strength, victory….shall I go on? You get the idea. Such an important subject in a day and age when people do not keep their promises – but God.

Chris Lawson: When Faith Needs Rebuilding

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 04 Dec 2025 16:27:12 +0000

Today we welcome back apologist/author/researcher Chris Lawson to talk about rebuilding faith after suffering at the hands of false teachers, bible twisters, heretics or just plain abusive leadership. Today, we refer to this as “spiritual abuse” – but what does that mean? It is often tossed about easily, leaving the listener or reader confused about this rather subjective term. Chris helps us sort out the truth, and help the listener find encouragement and comfort if they have indeed been a victim of damaging church experiences. Chris Lawson is an ordained pastor, missionary, and founder of Spiritual Research Network (SRN). With nearly 30 years of ministry experience, he is committed to proclaiming the Gospel, promoting biblical discernment, and equipping believers against spiritual deception, cults, and occult influences through research and teaching. We talk about those movements that have shipwrecked many, and how God views us when we have been deeply hurt by those institutions we were told we could trust. How can we avoid making the same mistakes again? How can we comfort those who have been abused by spiritual movements and leaders?

Tim and Mary take on a news cycle that pauses just long enough to acknowledge the rabbit hole of Big Tech. This has to be the case, because so much of what we do and see and hear is undergirded by this infrastructure, which has been building for 100 years. It’s so very interesting from a prophecy perspective, that the world is obsessed with tech, algorithms, and control of our everyday lives. Today we talk about Trump’s recent Ai executive order, “The Genesis Mission”. People are just delusional enough to think it will make life better. It will not, it cannot. In that vein, we discuss “The United States of Delusion” that explains in simple terms just how manipulated we really are in our thinking on a wide range of social issues. Then along comes a woman who was married to a Schwab-ite and she blows the lid off that level of manipulation via the WEF. Sensing a theme here, as always we want more than ever to keep you from being deceived. What a world.

Kelsey Pritchard: In a Heartbeat

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 02 Dec 2025 16:18:15 +0000

Mary welcomes Kelsey Pritchard to the podcast to talk about her work at Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America (SBA). Previously, she served in the office of the governor of South Dakota, spending seven years as the administration’s communications strategist and press secretary, but now serves as the pro-life organization’s first-ever director of state public affairs. Today we look at the year in review from a pro-life vantage point. Starting with Wisconsin’s election of pro abortion activist Susan Crawford, we can look back on a busy year in the war for the heartbeat of tiny Americans. Wisconsin also ruled that their 176 year old life law does not prohibit abortion. What’s next in this swing state for life is yet another Supreme Court election with an abortion ally in 2026. Then we look at the generic Kill Pill that was pushed through by the FDA at the end of September. The battle there is, who is watching out for not just the baby but the mother, with side effects trending upward. Rolling back Biden-era removal of safeguards should be high on the list for HHS secretary RFK, Jr. Finally we look at what that government shutdown was really all about – funding for abortion through Obamacare. Bet you never heard that from the Big News Industrial Media Complex.

Original airdate: 12/3/24: Mary chats with teacher, author and prophecy expert Lee Brainard about his deep studies into the Rapture. Lee has some great insights in his book, “Ten Potent Proofs for the Pre-Trib Rapture” and it’s all in one short volume. A great resource for those who may be confused by the genuine disdain that the church at large has developed for this viewpoint of late. And what about the incredible way the US has turned a corner on normality with the outcome of November’s election? How does that affect the time table for the rapture? After all, the globalists have been in the red zone for a while, now a nationalist has intercepted and is heading things a different direction. Does it matter? Imminency is key of course. Learn more about Israel, dispensationalism, and the rapture with answers for those who oppose the clear teaching of Scripture on this matter. An hour to challenge us all.

Today Tim and Mary look at a few pre-Thanksgiving, non-Ai generated headlines as we talk turkey about several things. First up is the chart-topping Christian song sung in the key of Ai. Should the regenerated sing what is artificially generated? And what about regenerative Ai? While it’s not something that is discussed often, if an Ai model can regenerate new content from scratch rather than just rearranging existing data from a database then we have arrived at another level. Let the regenerated of the Lord say so, so says Psalm 107. Then we talk about the caving to Ai that is currently in progress, and is that what we want? As they say in the Twilight Zone, “do not adjust your set.” Oh that it were so easy, because terrorists and other bad actors will use it more and more to turn against us on a grand scale. Finally, we look at turkeys and being thankful for more than material blessings.

Paul Scharf: Through Many Dangers, Toils, and Snares

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 16:34:03 +0000

Mary chats with Paul Scharf of Friends of Israel Ministry about the Pilgrims, and the heart of a pilgrim. The Bible refers to pilgrims and sojourners as those who knew they were strangers in a strange land, just passing through. Touching the world lightly. In this fast-paced culture of constant chatter and visual distraction, it has become more rare to find those Christians who truly are not conformed to this world, or at least seeking to be influenced by it less and less. And we are told to seek first the kingdom and its righteousness above all. Today we discuss Psalm 107, often referred to as the Pilgrims’ Psalm – not that they see themselves in it, but their experiences were reflected in these verses. The layout is such that those who find themselves wandering, imprisoned, afflicted, or just weathering a storm will find comfort and encouragement. Those who came ashore at Plymouth Rock were directed to this Psalm by Governor William Bradford, and Christians have found similar solace in every generation. Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come; ’tis grace that’s brought me safe thus far, and grace t’will lead me home.

Dave Wager: Thanksgiving, Dependence, And The God Who Provides

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 16:59:37 +0000

In today’s NEW PODCAST, Bible teacher Dave Wager walks through what it really means to give thanks “with all our heart” to the God who provides everything we enjoy. Starting from Psalm 9:1, he explains that true thankfulness needs a Person as its object, not just things. Hope, love, and gratitude all have to be directed somewhere, and for the Christian that “somewhere” is ultimately God. Dave contrasts our American abundance with the deep joy and generosity he witnessed in a poor African village, where believers gladly shared their only meal with him and pointed every ounce of gratitude back to the Lord’s daily provision. Their example forced him to confess how casual and shallow his own thanksgiving had often been, even while living with full cupboards and constant comfort.

From there, Dave draws a line from Scripture to our own Thanksgiving tables, reminding us that it is God who gives life, safety, health, work, family, and even the heritage of our national Thanksgiving celebration. He unpacks passages like 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 and Philippians 4:6, showing that God’s will for His people is to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in everything, including hardship. Using Job, Habakkuk, and the history of the pilgrims, he shows how trials expose our dependence and highlight God’s faithfulness. Above all, Dave centers the conversation on the gospel, calling listeners to thank God for His “indescribable gift” in Jesus Christ, who died so we could be adopted into God’s family. This Thanksgiving, he urges us to remember that God does not need us, but He wants us, and to respond with lives that gratefully point every good gift back to the Giver.

Alana Arguello – Be Not Ignorant: Panentheism in the Church

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 16:25:50 +0000

Mary welcomes back Dr. Alana Arguello for an eye-opening conversation about paganism and panentheism in the church. Not sure what that 2nd one is? Well, you will be by the time we are finished. Just when we might think the problems in the church are fixable if someone would only truly search the Scriptures and at least listen to the apologists’ concerns, we get to the bedrock of an evil philosophy so stuck in mud that there seems no way to pry it loose. What is a worldview? Is a Christian worldview something related to an American conservative pro-life, pro-family stance that we can use when we engage the culture? Not that there is anything inherently wrong with that one, but it’s really something far more basic, having to do with the nature of God and the separation of Him from His creation. What are some of the ways we have let panentheism in? You might be surprised. A full hour with a true expert on Eastern metaphysical practices and the nature thereof.

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 16:28:43 +0000

Mary welcomes back Pastor Andy Woods to talk about some of the more significant stories in late November. We look at this week’s Climate ConJob – rather, “Confab” – and who is actually running the show these days. While the agenda never changes, and they keep trying to pull the wool over our sheeple eyes, there is no denying that many in the world today are getting pretty weary of this sales pitch. Next on our list is the Judeo/Christian worldview and lifestyle that Americans have always enjoyed, and what has happened to obliterate it in one generation. Immigration, ideologies like Communism, Marxism, Progressivism and Islam have taken a huge toll on our freedoms and our prosperity, not to mention endless attacks on men, women and children who have to be open to being something other than how God created them. Now what? Plurality goes off the rails spiritually when a Hindu temple is erecting a 90 foot statue of a Hindu God down in Texas, still a state of the union last I heard. It’s going down so fast it seems. Then we discuss some freedoms of speech and religion that are also going the way of the phone booth – only with greatly significant consequences. Suppose God is removing His hand of protection from idolatrous Americans? Although we are not a Christian nation under the banner of salvation, we have held high the freedom, morals, and good neighborliness that love requires for our entire existence. A great hour with a superb teacher of the Scriptures, and a watchman.

Tim and Mary take a look at the current news cycle in light of some of the more unusual stories of late. The UN did something very unusual in passing a resolution favorable to Trump and his peace plan. The strangeness lies in creating a Peace Board with him at the head, and an international force in Gaza. They still don’t have any idea as to where a Palestinian state might end up, or who might be heading up this force, but details rarely matter anymore. We also look at the soon-to-conclude Climate Summit and find out what they are up to minus US support. We talk about those powerful data centers, and why people are starting to revolt over the cost to build and to run them. From the further Islamization of Texas to Ai toys for the holiday from China, again we have to wonder to ourselves not just why things are so strange of late, but can they get any stranger?

Mary Danielsen: What’s it Worth to Ya?

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 16:27:55 +0000

Mary Danielsen

Today on Stand Up, Mary takes advantage of a cancellation spot and talks about value. Yes, the price of everything is going up, but that doesn’t mean it’s actually worth more. When the Danielsens bought their starter home, it was old and leaning but still had value. When they moved out, it was older and leaned further, but worth a significant amount more. Why is this? Value, investments, worth – the world will tell us just what we can get for pretty much anything. Antiques Roadshow is a very popular program. Since we can’t take it with us, we might as well buy and sell and get through the economic murk. But what really has untold eternal value – the gospel – is what is hidden deep in these old earthen vessels. And we need to rightly handle it, in honor of those who gave their lives for it, so WE could hear it and pass it along, like a human chain through the ages. Paul tells Timothy to “hold fast the pattern of sound words” – guard that gospel, Timothy, above all. Do you have the price tags on the right pieces and are they reflecting their true value? What hill do you want to die on, the political hill, the youth at any cost hill, the modern churchianity hill, or the gospel? Think hard, there is only 1 right answer.

Replay – Judge Phil Ginn: The Importance of Apologetics; The Pestiferous Quagmire; Activist Judges

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 16:00:22 +0000

Original airdate: 6/5/25 Mary welcomes new guest Judge Phil Ginn of Southern Evangelical Seminary to discuss the critical need for apologetics – understanding it, and using what we learn. It can be like a foreign language, if you don’t use it you just might lose it. Hiding God’s Word in our hearts is critical to the articulation of biblical apologetics. We will talk about their upcoming National Apologetics Conference. Then we look at the quagmire parents have found themselves in when trying to assert their rights and opt out of perverted DEI type indoctrination. The public schools don’t want to deal with those messes, because hey, that means their students aren’t learning to be oh so tolerant of diversity and inclusion. Well, that’s on them, the schools – and parents are fighting back. Finally, we look at our government and why Trump has to deal with the O’Biden judiciary mess via activist judges. How did we get to the point that our duly elected President has his agenda hijacked at every turn? An enlightening hour with the president of SES, a former judge and very sharp regarding the Christian worldview.

Oscar Navarro: That I May Win Some

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 16:34:07 +0000

Mary welcomes Oscar Navarro of Living Waters Ministry to talk about winning for the right side, bringing the gospel and the message of the cross to whosoever might listen and be saved. Oscar is Vice President of Ministry Advancement and a host of Way of the Master TV program, now in its 11th year. In this installment of SUFTT, we chat about how he came to Christ, and what it means to work at Living Waters. We ask him about open air preaching, which is something that our human nature perhaps rubs against and yet moving forward despite our fears even when public speaking is involved is an important aspect of reaching everyday humans with the truth. What happens after that, well, we leave the results to God. Living Waters has been a blessing to so many for decades, and demonstrating how to share the gospel is as important of an aspect to what they do as it is actually sharing it because believers often need a little encouragement, inspiration and education on how best to do just that.

Dr. Chris Rupe: Apes on Parade

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 16:13:41 +0000

Mary welcomes Dr. Chris Rupe to talk about that infamous graphic depicting the linear march of ape-to-human that billions know, or accept as, the story of the evolution of mankind. “March of Progress”, as the mural is named, has only been around since 1965 and yet generations of students were force-fed this simplistic view of humans and there is no “unseeing” it, even if a picture is worth 1000 (lying, fake, fraudulent, hoax-worthy) words. We chat with Chris about how the theory of evolution is stalled out – if not going backwards)- over bones and fossils. Specifically transitional bones, because if we can’t find any layers of ape-to-human proof in the form of fossils, what now? Scientists like to think evolution is not merely a theory but also not an ideology, but we are going to take some time to clear all that up. A fascinating hour with someone who has thought through transitional species, and author of “Contested Bones”.

Headlines: The Hand of History

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 16:14:40 +0000

Tim and Mary Danielsen take a look at the current news cycle, which, as always it seems, moves forward to a specific end more and more. It’s easy to just be detached because the news is uniquely bad; but do we stand back often enough to see the big picture? Everything is moving toward a prophesied end and that gets more obvious by the day. And that it is going there guided by the Hand of History should never be taken for granted by us mere earthlings. Yeah, Communism is bad; it has never succeeded; and it will enslave us as sure as the digital dollar. But the real story should probably be the one about Islam which will also enslave us and cost us our head if we stand firm. American voters think that what’s best for us is always something different, but history shows that is a very dangerous mindset. According to FOX, Gen Z voted for Trump and Mamdani for the same reason: change. The level of shortsightedness here is astounding. We also talk about Kristallnacht, Yad Vashem (Holocaust museum in Israel) and more.

Holly Pivec: The New Apostolic Revolution

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 16:17:36 +0000

Mary welcomes back author, apologist and speaker Holly Pivec for a timely conversation about the New Apostolic Reformation – which has become more of a revolution if you look at the numbers. And yet so many believers have never heard of it. So today we look at the basics: what it is, what it isn’t, and how to recognize it will take a bit of effort since it isn’t a specific church or denomination. We look at how it intersects with politics and why. If Christians think that the gospel they see in today’s politics is pure, they really need to think again, since the NAR is bent on taking over every system of the world. Does that sound as crazy to you reading it as it did to me writing it? It should, because dominion theology says that Christians must take over the world before Jesus can return. And yes, that IS crazy because Jesus isn’t a hostage in heaven waiting for us to overtake politics. We also talk about revival: what might that look like here in 2025, with the NAR being opportunistic in nature, that wherever there are whispers of revival, there they must be. Christians must be armed with this information or they risk being deceived, it really is that simple. If a claim of revival turns out to be fake, are we trying to assign the Holy Spirit to something He has not initiated? How can that not be perilous to believers? Holly’s definitive and groundbreaking books on the NAR can be found here.

Dr. Jeremy Lundgren: The Fear of the Lord and the Future of Education

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 16:47:42 +0000

Dr. Jeremy Lundgren

NEW PODCAST TODAY! Dave Wager sits down with Dr. Jeremy Lundgren, president of Nicolet Bible Institute at Silver Birch Ranch, to talk straight about college, calling, and growing up. Framed by Proverbs 1:7, “Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge…,” they push past the usual “pick a major and chase a paycheck” thinking and ask better questions: Should your son or daughter go to college at all? What is God actually preparing them for? How do you weigh Bible school, trade school, a four year degree, or a gap year in a culture that is confused, expensive, and often hostile to biblical truth?

Dave and Jeremy keep circling back to transition. College is not just about classrooms. It is about learning to get up on your own, handle responsibility, live with other people, make your faith your own, and see your future through the lens of serving Christ, not just surviving adulthood. They talk about how a place like Nicolet Bible Institute gives students one focused year in Scripture, service, and community, to grow in wisdom before locking into a long term path. This episode is for parents, grandparents, and young adults who are trying to make decisions about “what’s next” and want to start, not with money or majors, but with the fear of the Lord.

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 16:31:31 +0000

Mary welcomes David Holland to the podcast to talk all things financial. From gold and silver, to fiat currencies to inflation and cryptos, how can we make sense of it all and help our families in the process? We can and must help them get ready for eternity, but fiscal responsibility is required in this life, as a stewardship. We talk about the state of financial affairs in the world and how to understand that better. We also look at what’s coming. Yes, the globalists want that one world economy – it sure seems so – but they are also fulfilling Bible prophecy which they probably do not realize. David heads up Alpha Omega Gold and his desire is to help Christians understand the financial scene and make good choices.

Trey Dellinger: Agendas, Lawfare, and Common Sense

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 16:29:24 +0000

Mary welcomes Trey Dellinger to talk about some of this year’s significant Supreme Court cases, which of course can affect the entire nation eventually. Protecting our kids is so important, and this includes primarily these days, what we expose them to. With threats from transgender therapy/surgeries, the porn industry, and simple library books, there is no such thing as being too diligent. Trey Dellinger is the Senior Legal Fellow of AFA Action, the government affairs affiliate of American Family Association. The impact of AFA on pro-family issues is recognized nationwide, and they have been diligent to defend and protect family values since its founding in 1977 by Donald Wildmon. It’s interesting how those with an agenda steamroll any notion of common sense when it comes to raising our children. In fact, those with an agenda seem to think that our kids are their kids. An encouraging podcast that helps parents see that they are not alone in the fight to let our kids be kids, free from blatant immorality and obscenity.

NO VIDEO PODCAST TODAY! Tim and Mary take on the news cycle with an update on the November 4 elections. With the NYC mayoral behind us, many are saying the way of life in America is truly behind us as well. Aftermarket comments on social indicate people really didn’t do any research on Mayor-elect Mamdani’s beliefs, a trojan horse of Communism and Islam which will surely affect us all eventually. It’s shocking to read today’s comments from the average American, actually, wondering what all the fuss is about. Are constituents really that easily led? Even in the ‘flyover’ states, we will find that with Islam’s encroachment into Minnesota, Iowa and Michigan, the dominoes will fall eventually. We talk about what it all means at least for now, for America, Israel, and all those who love freedom. We also talk about freedom to be believers and Jews in today’s climate. Believers who have long watched prophecy never thought we would see the things we are seeing, but we are here for a reason – walk circumspectly, and occupy till He comes. He is ever on the throne.

Michael Johnson: To the Uttermost Parts with Slavic Gospel Association

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 16:27:27 +0000

Mary welcomes Michael Johnson, president of Slavic Gospel Association to enlighten us about the tremendous needs in the former Soviet Union. SGA works with 13 nations to bring light and hope to those who have never heard the good news through various outreaches. Having begun nearly 100 years ago by a man who immigrated to the States from Belarus, SGA has been faithful to put deeds to the Word and bring truth to all ages. We talk about the orphan crisis, in particular the older teens who age out of the orphanages, only to find themselves the target of sex traffickers and the slave trade. These teens who have never known hope, often just wander aimlessly as young adults. Russia has the 3rd highest suicide rate in the world among adolescents. Who will give them a chance for a normal life, and what are the challenges to giving them the gospel? What is the state of their hearts after such a rough beginning? SGA has partnered with 6300 churches to visit these kids and develop relationships with the older teens. We talk about Siberia, Ukraine, even Israel and how to help these Russian kids. An eye-opener for us in the west.

Replay – Elizabeth Urbanowicz: Firm Foundations for Life

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 15:58:10 +0000

Original airdate 8/12/25: Mary welcomes new guest Elizabeth Urbanowicz, a follower of Jesus Christ who is passionate about equipping kids to understand the truth of the Christian worldview. Elizabeth began her professional career as an elementary teacher in a Christian school. Several years into her teaching experience, she realized that despite being raised in Christian homes, attending a Christian school, and being active in church, her students thought more like the culture than like Christ. She began searching for curricular materials that would equip her students to think critically, helping them discover that Christianity is the worldview that lines up with reality. After not finding any materials that met this need, she began creating a curriculum for her students. Today we look at how to move our kids forward, and pursue excellence in everything, at a time when the culture keeps going backwards everywhere we look. Counteracting a worldly worldview is a full time job. How can families and churches proactively keep their youth engaged with truth? What will it take, consistently and purposefully? A full hour with Elizabeth as we seek to begin to guard our hearts with all diligence and raise children to be confident, passionate lovers of truth. (A discount code has been set up for our listeners, save $10 off a family license of any curriculum using STANDUP10.)

Dr. JB Hixson

SORRY, NO VIDEO VERSION TODAY! Mary welcomes back JB Hixson today to help us all turn down the volume on our lives. We are inordinately busy – and not just that, we are tuning in the world more and more and tuning out that still small voice, the one thing that can give us strength and comfort. Sometimes we don’t even know how unbalanced our lives are until we tune it all out and spend time with Jesus. God knows what we need, in every generation. The world is so chaotic, and adding to the geopolitical insanity, there are countless voices and opinions presenting other ways to view everything. Exhausted yet? Maybe you are but don’t realize it. JB and Mary look at David the sweet Psalmist, and his declaration that what we really need is to draw near to Jesus – and drink of the living water He offers. David, and that deer, panted for the water during the most difficult times, and so should we – whether we are on the run from enemies, navigating apostasy in the church, watching the news about man’s inhumanity to man – all these things sap our strength. He is our peace, and He knows what will make for our peace: whatsoever is true, lovely, and praiseworthy. Let’s unplug and satisy that thirst. Have a long drink of cool water.

Pastor Claude Stauffer: Happy Stove Day! – A Biblical Look at Halloween

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 15:26:01 +0000

PASTOR CLAUDE STAUFFER

Mary welcomes back Pastor Claude to talk about the seasonal occultic holiday we have all come to know as Halloween. Should we or shouldn’t we participate, that’s an old debate but really, there are solid answers because the Bible doesn’t leave us in the dark about anything for life and godliness – and shining a light on the dark is what we are called to do. With that in mind, Pastor Claude takes the analogy of the hot stove to describe how easily and subtly we can get burned by dabbling in the occult – and Halloween is just that. Is it just a silly and harmless day to celebrate the occult (more like a month now)? If it is, what does God’s Word say about that? Objections might look like this: “I had a great time on Halloween as a kid. It’s fun and harmless”. So let’s say that’s true, that you had fun. We want that for our kids, as long as it doesn’t hurt them. But equating this day with “harmless” isn’t sound thinking and here’s why: by teaching our precious kids that dabbling in the occult is harmless at a young age, we leave them open later in life to entertain the notion that astrology, altered states, necromancy, ouija boards and any New Age practices are also harmless. If I think like the devil, I’m thrilled that parents have dropped their guard to give place to dark arts. What a sobering thought. Lots to think about as we raise our kids and grands with a biblical worldview that should protect and guard their hearts above all.

Headlines: Dark Days, Mighty Bright Future

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 15:39:43 +0000

Paul tells the Ephesians to walk in such a way that wisdom marks our path. He then says to redeem our time, for the “days are evil”. If they were evil then, we know that we know they are evil now. In fact, the days of Noah were evil plus – and so shall our days be. So what are we watching this week? It will be different tomorrow probably, and next week as well. We went from weekly newspapers in large cities back in the 19th century, to daily in the last century, to non-stop today and newspapers are not even read anymore. In light of all of this, we talk about redeeming the time in a very encouraging article to start us out. Then we talk about the uniqueness of Israel – but in a way you may not have thought of because God is sovereign over ALL nations (Acts 17). More headlines – Big Food wants us all to be vegans, and they can prove it. A hurricane update and just how the fake media is paying richly for their censorship and lies, which has touched every life at some point. Evil days – bright future. Hold fast!

In the first half of today’s edition of Stand Up, Mary welcomes back Todd Nettleton of Voice of the Martyrs to catch us up on the state of the church in areas that are not friendly to the gospel. We tend to think that Christians are mistreated only in Islamic nations, but in other parts of the world outside of Africa, communism contributes to violence against believers, since Islam and atheism are both hostile to the truth of the gospel. Todd talks about his recent travels, and the International Day of Prayer for Persecuted Christians coming up on November 2. We talk about some other hotspots, and how the listener can support this ministry or be involved on a local level. Then Mary looks at some headlines: Ballroom Blues and why the left has gone insane over the reno at the White House; the NYC mayoral race and who bought what so our nation’s largest city could become socialist; and some more odds and ends of the news cycle as October winds down.

NOT Elijah Abraham

[Original airdate: 7/8/25] Mary welcomes back Elijah Abraham to catch up on his travels and discuss the “civilizational shift” that Islam is aiming for around the globe. Elijah has a pastors’ heart for the lost, and to communicate the dangers of the spread of Islam around the globe, including in the US. We will talk about his trips to various nations to spread the gospel and equip pastors to defend the faith. His ministry, Living Oasis, exists to make the most of every day and season to warn the church about the true intentions of Islam and the subjugation of all non-Muslims, or “infidels”. We talk about what’s currently going on in Texas and New York, as well as other areas of our nation. Why are officials seemingly turning a blind eye to the establishment of Islamic communities right under our noses? Will they lead to establishment of Sharia law then naturally? Is there any way to keep Islamic politicians from gaining positions of influence in our major cities? How can the church engage the local Muslim community and get to know them on a more personal level? A timely update from Elijah.

Julaine Appling: How the Church Can Champion Marriage Again

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 16:42:50 +0000

Stand Up For The Truth paused regular programming for a Q Drive hour with Mary Danielsen and guest Julaine Appling, President Emeritus of Wisconsin Family Council/Wisconsin Family Action. They framed marriage and family as God’s first institution and the foundation for church and civil society. Appling challenged the 50 percent divorce myth, urged Bible-believing churches to champion marriage with robust premarital counseling, inventories, and mentoring, and highlighted practices like recognizing anniversaries and sharing testimonies. Data points noted Wisconsin’s low divorce rate and long marriage duration, while cautions covered cohabitation, delayed marriage, below-replacement birth rates, and the moral problems tied to certain contraceptives and IVF. She also celebrated Planned Parenthood clinic pauses and closures, warned about cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers, and called pastors to teach clearly on life, marriage, and religious freedom.

Throughout the hour, listeners were invited to help fund the first six months of 2026, with Q Drive at roughly 46 percent of the $195,000 goal. The team encouraged giving by phone at 800-979-9010 or online at q90fm.com and standupforthetruth.com. Final takeaways for the church were simple and actionable, prepare couples biblically and practically, model strong marriages and family devotions, commit to a local church, engage elected officials as a mission field, and pray for pastors while holding fast to truth without compromise.

Becky Kopitzke: The Theology of Vocation and the Call to Everyday Faith

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 17:02:34 +0000

Becky Kopitzke

It’s a new Stand Up For The Truth podcast with host Dave Wager and special guest Becky Kopitzke, author, speaker, and longtime communicator of biblical truth. Together they dive into the “theology of vocation,” exploring what it really means to serve God through everyday work and calling. Becky shares her story of learning that her worth isn’t found in what she does, but in who she is as a child of God. From motherhood to writing books and mentoring others, she’s seen how the Lord uses both gifts and seasons of waiting to shape her faith. The conversation opens with Colossians 3:12, calling believers to clothe themselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, and explores how these virtues define our work and relationships when Christ is at the center.

Dave and Becky also talk about how our vocations, whether teaching, parenting, or working behind the scenes, become acts of worship when surrendered to God. They touch on the importance of humility, dependence, and being faithful in the small things that few may notice. Even the simple act of praying for someone you meet can reflect the heart of Jesus. Through stories of family, ministry, and everyday faith, the episode reminds us that our calling isn’t about titles, fame, or platform. It’s about living fully for the One who created us. Wherever God places you, He can use your obedience to make an eternal impact. Sorry, no videocast of today’s show. Feedback about today’s podcast is appreciated – email davew @ q90fm.com.

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 17 Oct 2025 15:32:58 +0000

Mary welcomes back Gary Kah to get his insights on several different topics today. The government shutdown – who is doing what to whom to get what they want? According to Americans, who gets the most blame? Who is the new target of losing their jobs as Trump takes aim at Dem programs? Since everything is politicized now, so must this be. We attempt to shine a light on that and what it means for us mere voters. Then we discuss the blue state desire to keep immigration flowing one direction. We have to ask ourselves, why in the world would any community want illegals and the loathsome crimes they commit to ravage their towns and neighborhoods? There must be something big in it for them. Until it’s their family or friend touched by crime. We also get Gary’s take on the Mideast, the hot topic of the week; also on Ukraine and Russia, as no one expected this war to drag so long. Gary has been watching the times since the early 90s and brings an articulate, unique perspective to some hot button issues.

Mary welcomes back Kyle and Flynn to talk about the nuances of how we process information – at the biblical level. Every day, we are processing probably more info than most people ever did in a lifetime in previous generations. We listen to preachers, podcasts, YouTubes, and we read volumes some days. Are we really listening critically? What about pre-texts and presumptions? We all bring with us various biases, experiences, flaws and flesh. But the Bible is unique, isn’t it? Don’t we want a firm foundation? Are we even concerned about said biases and preconceptions, in that they can cause a cracked foundation? We talk about all the ways that we can “watch our life and doctrine closely” so as not to ruin the hearers, but help them see the truth. A high calling indeed. Apologists, authors, podcasters – Kyle and Flynn are perfect for dissecting this subject and seeing what we can take away from how we hear, read, and process profound truth.

Tim and Mary take a look at this week’s news cycle, as powerful people line up around the globe to play their part. How will history – brief though it may be in the prophetic scheme of things – treat the peace initiative that was so loudly lauded this week? What exactly is being agreed to, within the framework of Israel’s enemies who are still Israel’s enemies? Time will tell, and prophecy will be the loudest voice. Meanwhile, Islam, which is usually the loudest voice in this age, continues it’s creep around our nation to bite and devour any civilization that will open the gate to them. The Pentagon has approved Qatari presence at an air base in Idaho, and many are suggesting that this is a tremendous breach in national security. What could possibly go wrong? We discuss the Ai Stargate project, whose name is suggestive of something supernatural. No one discusses the spiritual aspect of all this, but eventually that, too, will be revealed. Government shutdowns, antisemitism, lawlessness are all making headlines right now, and all worth watching.

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 14 Oct 2025 15:46:10 +0000

Mary welcomes first time guest to the podcast Pastor/Dr. Richard Schmidt to discuss current events. Richard has been an avid student of the Word of God for over 45 years. After giving his life to Christ during a Chicago revival meeting, he immediately immersed himself into evangelism and the study of Scripture, graduating with both a B.S. and M.A. in Pastoral Theology/Christian Education. Early in his ministry, Rich traveled with Evangelist Joe Boyd and preached in various churches and venues, including Chicago’s Pacific Garden Mission. Upon college graduation and ordination, Rich and his wife, Valori, moved to Milwaukee, WI to church plant. After the church plant was successfully merged with another, Rich joined the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office to support his young family, while simultaneously serving as an Assistant Pastor. He is currently the pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church just south of Milwaukee and an in-demand speaker. Today we chat about the rampant lawlessness in our nation and how we got here politically and prophetically. We also look at the current peace initiative in Israel, and what are we to expect when there’s a victory lap going on, but we all know that Israel’s enemies haven’t truly had a change of heart. We talk about AI, and its troubling encroachment into Europe. China we expect to be a police state, but why are other nations looking so similar? A full hour with a very sharp brother in Christ.

Replay – Lee Brainard: The Cat, the Fiddle, The Cow and the Moon

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 14:55:47 +0000

[Originally aired 7/18/25] Mary welcomes back Bible teacher, student and watchman Lee Brainard to discuss sensationalizing Bible prophecy, especially in the areas of politics and events in nature. Today, with biblical illiteracy at an all time high, it stands to reason that Christians have no meat on their bones when it comes to the systematic study of prophecy. Whereas formerly, the topics of prophecy were centered around Israel, a global government, a global spirituality and a world wide economy powered by technology, suddenly everything is prophetic, and it’s getting noisier out there. Time to bring things back into focus. And there are more blood moons coming, which means sensationalizing the heavens will also be rampant. Who is teaching this and why? We also discuss the New Wine Pentecost movement. What is it, is it biblical? Is it date setting at the core? Who is promoting it and why should we care? Sometimes following social media Bible prophecy sites more resembles a nursery rhyme than the truth. A cat, playing a fiddle, a cow and the moon makes more sense most days. And that dish that ran away with the spoon? Stay tuned.

Understanding NFTs: A Plain-Talk Look at the Digital Collectible Craze

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Crash Connell) — Sun, 12 Oct 2025 17:01:15 +0000

What Are NFTs?

You’ve probably seen stories about people spending huge amounts of money on digital things like pictures, short videos, or even tweets. These are called NFTs, which stands for Non Fungible Token. I’m not an expert on this stuff, but I’ve been looking into it through some sources that seem trustworthy, and here’s how I understand it.

What does “non fungible” mean?

If something is fungible, it can be replaced by another of the same kind. One dollar bill is the same as any other dollar bill. You can swap them and nothing changes.

If something is non fungible, it’s one of a kind. The Mona Lisa is non fungible because there’s only one real version. You can make copies, but there’s only one original.

What’s a “token”?

A token is a kind of digital certificate that proves ownership of something. NFTs use a technology called a blockchain to keep track of who owns what. A blockchain is like a big public record stored on thousands of computers around the world. Everyone can see the record, and each computer helps make sure it stays accurate.

How do you buy an NFT?

You can’t walk into your favorite chain store and buy one. NFTs are sold on special websites called NFT marketplaces. To buy one, you first need a digital wallet that can hold cryptocurrency, like Ethereum. You use that digital money to pay for the NFT. Once the transaction goes through, the blockchain records your name as the new owner of that token.

Why do people buy NFTs?

People like owning things that feel rare or special. It’s the same reason someone might collect baseball cards or paintings. NFTs make digital items feel like they’re one-of-a-kind, even though anyone can still see or copy them online.

The psychology behind NFTs

A lot of this comes down to human nature. People want to own something unique, something that says “I got here first.” It’s about belonging and status, even if it’s in a digital world. Some people buy NFTs hoping they’ll go up in value. Others just want to be part of a new trend. It’s a mix of curiosity, risk, and the same kind of excitement that drove Beanie Babies, baseball cards, or comic books.

How much energy does it take?

The blockchain isn’t just floating in the air—it runs on thousands of computers doing calculations nonstop. At one point, the Ethereum blockchain used about as much electricity in a year as a small country.

What could this technology do?

Even if the NFT craze cools off, the same technology could be used for more practical things. It could handle digital event tickets, game items, music rights, contracts, or even property records someday.

We are not promoting or investing in NFTs, and and not getting paid to write this. This is just for informational purposes so that when you hear about NFTs being passed around online, you’ll have a better idea of what people are talking about. – Crash Connell

Lexi Hermes: Know the Truth, Live the Truth

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 15:36:23 +0000

Mary welcomes Alexis Hermes to the podcast to talk about her book, “You Can, Through Christ“. In this installment of SUFTT we look at discipleship, what it is and what it isn’t. Primarily, it needs to be based on truth, and it needs to be relational, and reproduce itself. In these days of online church, and devices that prevent us from truly engaging with those around us, what does that look like? Or rather, what should it look like? Jesus said to go and make disciples of all nations. That is truly a tall order, implying the gospel plus living it out, and how best to do that. It’s not just for pastors or theologians, it is for all of us. But first, internal transformation is required, so that we are equipped to point people to the truth, sound doctrine, and how the body works together. We talk about several chapter themes in her book, and how each one presents a challenge to godly living. A full hour of conversation on how to pass the faith along. Can we say as Paul said, “Imitate me”?

Mary Danielsen: Truth or Consequences

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 15:21:48 +0000

On today’s Stand Up for the Truth, Mary takes advantage of a scheduling glitch to talk about – Truth. Truth Matters, in fact. Facts matter, as long as they are true. No, we’re not speaking in circles, the truth has been on the chopping block for a long time now but it’s only that the voices of falsehood are getting louder and louder and those too young to understand or sort it all out are suffering the most. We should never expect truth from the world, in fact, they suppress it, daily. Romans 1 says that when they do that, there are consequences. That’s why Romans tells us that the number of fools will increase. The universe is God-centered. We have no universe of our own, but Satan is doing what he can to get his own, and here we are stuck in the middle with clowns to the left and jokers to the right. Speaking of which, what is the nature of our highly divisive, lawless world right now? Is it the Lefties? The Globalists? The Neo-Cons? Yes. All that and more.

Headlines: Dystopia, Delusions, and Deals in Broad Daylight

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 15:32:47 +0000

In today’s installment of Stand Up, Tim and Mary take on a batch of headlines that point to the continuing global delusion of peace and unity. Every Christian should understand by now that what is going on in the Middle East was never about establishing a state, but destroying one. It is so obvious to so many and yet here we are, with the US and many other nations just deluding themselves around the clock. We discuss Tony Blair’s role in Gaza, a clear delusion. We talk about the disintegration of Portland and why it will never likely improve, but spread; we look at Communion America, a great delusion for the church; and Trump’s deal with Pfizer, delusion that began in 2020 and never really goes away. Why would he make a deal with such a corrupt and wicked corporation? And still another abortion pill goes to market. It just gets more wicked out there, but hallelujah, we have God’s Word: blessed is that one who doesn’t walk, stand, or sit with the wicked (Psalm 1) Homeward, saints!

Mike Gendron: Compromisers at the Common Table

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 15:58:14 +0000

Mary welcomes back Mike Gendron for a timely conversation about compromising the gospel and who is doing what to bring in a so-called unity that could deceive on a broad scale. Who are these, and what is their agenda? We specifically look at an event this week called “Communion America”, organized by the NAR and designed to “host God” and “bring down the blood of Jesus” to “heal our land”. A mile long communion table is the culmination of their vision for the “church of America”. And what church would that be exactly? We show how this is more of a Catholic event than anything, but will the church recognize the wolves? We also discuss that ecumenical agenda that has been building and growing for decades. What is it about the political/religious meld that has many of us on high alert? The perilous slope of a compromised gospel ends with a gospel that cannot save, something the devil is fully aware of. A fascinating hour with a bold apologist.

Replay – Mary Danielsen: Not So Among You – #Narcissism

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 14:58:16 +0000

Mary Danielsen

Originally aired 7/10/25: Mary takes on a topic that may be hard to hear, but is necessary, and few in the church are speaking out about it. The passage is 2 Timothy 3:1-5. When the Bible talks about perilous times, we tend to think about those headlines that appear suddenly and stand the world on its head – birth pangs, wars and rumours, Israel. And yet these verses point to a peril no one wants to talk about: the human heart. And not of unbelievers, but in the church. How in the world did we get here, loving self more than God? And yet, churches are battling this ill more and more to the point where believers are staying away. Yes, lack of sound doctrine plays a part – sometimes. But when narcissism begins to work its evil throughout a church, flowing primarily from controlling and unaccountable leadership, who is watching out for the sheep? What is a “form of godliness”? Why does Paul say to avoid such? What are the qualifications for pulpit ministry? Christians tend to be gracious and put up with a lot of mischief from leadership, as long as the doctrine is sound. But what does God think about those who mistreat His people? Let’s let the Word do the talking on this one, but talk about it we must. The gentiles lord it over others, but it should “not be so among you”. A challenging hour on an elephant-in-the-room topic. PDF transcription – click here.

Alana Arguello: The Returning Raven – Ten Myths about Yoga

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 15:30:23 +0000

Mary welcomes back Dr. Alana Arguello to discuss “The Yoga You Don’t Know”. The best way to address this New Age practice is by taking it step by step, making sure we understand by the time we are done that yoga does not belong in the Christian life. There is no amount of justifying or reconstructing it to make it anything other than Hinduism. Even if you don’t practice it, does your wife? Are your kids being groomed into the New Age in the schools? What about the health food industry, and their claims of a spiritual connection through such things as tea, or supplements? We talk about all the things that people think it is, but it is paganism, pure and simple, and God warns against it. In this day and age, if a believer even says “paganism” in public, people tend to be puzzled by that, it’s so – old-fashioned. And that proves a major point of the discussion today, thinking we can repackage something and, “poof!” it’s real meaning disappears. This is one of those myths about yoga. Dr. Arguello is an apologist specializing in yoga, Eastern worldviews, apostasy, and where it all fits in with the Bible. She serves on the board of the International Society of Christian Apologetics. Her book, “Unearthing Yoga’s Ancient Roots”, can be found here. Here’s a transcript – click here.

Rob Yardley: Bereans, Biologists, and Boldness

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 02 Oct 2025 15:55:01 +0000

Mary welcomes back Berean Call president Rob Yardley to talk about the importance of continuing to learn, pursue curiosity, and add to our knowledge of how the universe works, and how the God of the Bible, the creator of the universe, can cause us to be objective, rational, thinking creatures who can then boldly bring truth into our own sphere of influence. The Berean Call, begun by TA McMahon and Dave Hunt, has an impressive body of apologetics work built up over decades to come alongside believers who want to understand all the variances and downright lies embedded in so much of the Christian culture today. If you want to know the basics of apologetics, there is no better place to start than TBC. We also take a look at some pretty smart men who research Creation Science in the areas of DNA, the flood, and entropy. While some of it is far deeper than many of us might hope to go, we understand from their work that the God we serve is powerful, omniscient, and still has us each in the palm of His hand, worthy of our praise. A fun hour with Rob and the things that he studies and communicates via the gifts God has given him.

Headlines: Game Changers – 6G, Global IDs, and Terror States

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 15:29:08 +0000

Tim and Mary tentatively take on a news cycle that could change rapidly- and dramatically. It’s hard to pinpoint a time in recent history that gave us rapid-fire, game changing and game-over type events to further confuse and mystify all who behold them. Today we take on terror and proxy states and how in the world is this going to end in the Middle East? While we know plenty from Scripture, we know little about the game afoot from a political stance. But wait, there’s more: talking about 6G as something far more than the latest standing in line event for the new iPhone. It really IS a game changer if you understand the coming Beast system. We talk about Keir Starmer and the UK timeline for a national ID. It’s not like we don’t expect these things – when only a few years ago we marveled at these things. And the whole world will “marvel at the Beast” (Revelation 13:3). Nothing at all, nothing, should surprise prophecy students today, we’re just confirming what you already expected. Some day, it WiLL be “Game Over” for planet earth, ushering in the glorious, righteous kingdom of Jesus Christ.

JB Hixson: True North

Dr. JB Hixson

Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to take a closer look at his latest book, “The Great Last Days Apostasy”. With seemingly so many different ways in which the church has lost the plot regarding her mission, events of late dictate that perhaps the chapter in his book on falling away politically deserves a second and third look. While the church seems to think that saving the American way of life from imploding should include a side order of the gospel, and while that is a noble thought, we should rather ask, “what are we missing?”. Maybe the overarching question should be, “what are we losing?” as politics takes center stage more and more. The passing of the head of TPUSA has revealed many things about the church here in 2025, and the biblical maturity of those who are inheriting it. We talk about Christian Nationalism, the marriage of politics and faith; Dominion Theology, postmillennialism, and why Americans are so obsessed with politics. What is the Left? What is the Right? Is it really just Coke or Pepsi? Are Christians so naive to think that there is salvation of ANY kind in politics, considering who owns the systems of the world? A challenging hour to think long and hard about things that come and go, and things that are eternal.

Mike Jewell: Building Bridges – How Churches Can Transform Foster Care

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 16:04:29 +0000

Mike Jewell

Today’s FRESH NEW Stand Up for the Truth Podcasts features host Dave Wager with guest Mike Jewell, founder of Family Connect Wisconsin, applying James 1:27 to real families in crisis. Mike explains how churches can become the point of care for vulnerable kids by meeting vetted needs from local caseworkers, then building relationships that lead to stability and discipleship. The tool is simple: a request is posted, a donor funds it, a church delivers it, and a connection begins. Dave underscores that kids don’t just need lectures, they need living examples of Christlike love.

Listeners hear stories of beds delivered, meals shared, and single moms supported, along with early impact numbers and a vision to expand county by county. The invite is clear: pray, give, and form a small church response team so families see healthy believers up close. Pure religion visits the vulnerable and keeps unstained from the world. When the church shows up, kids are protected, parents are strengthened, and communities see the gospel in action.

John Haller: Double Trouble, Duplicity, and Diabolical Delusions

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 26 Sep 2025 15:23:20 +0000

Today’s edition of Stand Up for the Truth with guest John Haller focuses largely on the global eyes that are perpetually on Israel. Each week brings more Middle East mayhem, and a lot of it is lost on the US because it’s not getting reported. We talk about the danger that Syria has become, the UN and their duplicity, always, when it comes to Israel; the Palestinian state that does and doesn’t exist all at the same time; and how any nation can jump on this delusion is mystifying. We dive into the Judea and Samaria dilemma and Trump’s take on that; we discuss the 21-point plan floated by Trump and what that might contain. Also on our list is Qatar’s double trouble, technology and so much more. John Haller is an in-demand speaker, pastor and has an agile mind that is capable of storing more information than many of us would ever hope to have, and in these times, that is a gift.

David Bowen: Boots on the Ground

Mary welcomes back David Bowen, founder and Sr. Pastor of Standing Stones Community Church. David is an in-demand speaker and adjunct professor of Grand Canyon University in Phoenix. He has a heart for Bible prophecy, and in 2010, he and his wife founded Interpreting the Times. His podcast, The Final Hour, is a must-listen for prophecy perspectives and for updates on the nation of Israel, including his recent trip when he spent time with the IDF. David tells us things that we would not be able to access here in the West, and it is eye-opening. The war on terror, the Israeli people just trying to scratch out their day, the soldiers, the media – it is a complex and spiritual situation that requires that the heart and mind be focused on God and His Word, not the ignorance and lies of the media that has only a portion of the story. We talk about the Nova festival, the massacre that occurred on October 7, 2023. How can the church help the people get things they need to continue this fight? David has some incredible experiences and insights to relate to us all.

Today Tim and Mary take a look at the phenomenon of political talk via radio, podcast, or The Tube. How did we get to the point where the saturation of political talk takes us down a violent road? Rush, Paul Harvey – political talk pioneers of the 20th century – what would they think of all this chaos? Then we look at Day 718 of the war in Israel. Another anniversary of October 7th looms and while God has kept Israel, and multiple terrorists are in eternity, so many issues remain. Palestinian statehood is forever on the table, but only for her enemies, Satan’s useful tools. State of confusion is more like it. We also talk about Albania and a government bot, something new under the sun? Bot for President? How about Antichrist? How are we even talking about such a thing? A full hour of planetary insanity.

Mary Danielsen: A Generous Spirit

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 15:27:51 +0000

Today Mary looks at a pivotal passage in Acts 16. We lay a groundwork of gratitude and thankfulness which are to mark our days on this earth. This is part of who we must be, to reflect to a lost and dying world our gratitude for the provision of salvation. If we are not thankful and filled with hope, who will be? Then we widen the lens and talk about Lydia and her testimony. The book of Acts is loaded from beginning to end not only with the history of the church and the Jew/Gentile paradigm, but contains patterns of living and dying we need to hear about even in 2025. Applications abound, and Lydia’s story is no exception. Plus: on this Paul’s 2^nd missionary journey, we find a world-altering event that even Paul couldn’t have planned for. God is in the details, just like He is with each of us. Be encouraged! He is on the throne and here we are in the West, fruit of – Acts 16.

Original airdate: 9/17/24: Mary Danielsen catches up with Mark and Amber Archer, a husband and wife filmmaking team and founders of the filmmaking ministry, Fearless Features. With over 30 years of combined production experience they are on a mission to share hope in Christ around the world through feature films, documentaries, podcasting, books and more. Today’s topic is “Title IX”, the name of their recent documentary, their fourth title. A spinoff of a previous film, “Dysphoria”, it is a deeper look into the history of that civil rights legislation which was primarily designed to protect women in the education and sports systems to be free from discrimination. However, with Biden’s 2024 updates to the law, the rights of gay and transgender have taken precedence. How are these changes going to affect our nation? With 26 red states bringing lawsuits before the August deadline, what is the latest on this unnecessary and likely illegal action? All that and more with the Archers.

Jameson Taylor: Rules of Engagement

Mary welcomes back Jameson Taylor of American Family Association to continue our focus this week on engaging the culture, for the common good. While the gatekeepers change, the rules of engagement do not: the Bible as the moral authority for every human who ever lived. Today we shine a light on some of the important issues. Speaking of the rulebook, we chat about Texas and Oklahoma’s reintroduction of the Bible into public education. Bold and likely to be framed as forcing our worldview on others, there is no forcing, considering we as believers have been enduring the worldly worldview our entire lives. It’s more of a skirmish in a much wider war. We discuss discourse in the face of marketplace vitriol from those who want to be self-ruled; Costco’s decision not to distribute the abortion pill; and some activity in the Wisconsin legislature. We can never be over-equipped in a world that still needs to figure out what a woman is.

Mary welcomes back Natasha Crain to talk culture – and define it in light of Jesus’ words in John 15:18. What do we mean when we say culture? And why would Jesus tell us they will hate us, unless they know what we believe? Natasha’s current book, “When Culture Hates You” is a clear and articulate look at a very timely subject as Christians find themselves more and more in the crosshairs of 2025 culture, which is different from 1958 culture, which might be varied in 2030, should the Lord tarry. What are the rules of engagement? Soup kitchens, alternative lifestyles, abortion? Who is to say what the rules are today in light of the killing of Charlie Kirk? Making sense of the hostility and moving about society armed with an understanding of the true nature of light vs dark is an important conversation today, and loving the people around us who do not know Jesus, how do we advocate for the common good? We talk about the gatekeepers in society and what it takes to be admitted – or shut out – of the public square.

Headlines: Your Words Against Mine

Today, Tim and Mary take a break from the current loop of a news cycle and focus on words – they matter. Pastor Claude Stauffer, a frequent guest on Stand Up wrote a post last week entitled “Words Matter” – and the more we thought about it, and the Word made flesh, the more we came to realize just how significant last week’s events have become. What does the Bible say about a world full of words – both lies and truth? About the tongue in James 3? About Gamaliel’s wisdom in Acts 5? There are so many ways we can take what happened and sharpen our witness, become more soberminded about our social media presence, and give God an opportunity to work among us based on HIS word, not man’s word. Man’s word shapes every cult and false teaching. Satan said “Hath God said?” by Genesis 3. And so much more we can say about this. Join us for a biblical take on our current dilemma of too many words, and sin is not far behind. (Prov 10:19) Let’s choose our words carefully, to give life to the hearer.

Ken Ham: Like a Fire in My Bones

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 15:33:27 +0000

Mary welcomes Ken Ham to the podcast to talk about 50 years of impact through Answers in Genesis. From the start of his life in Queensland, Australia, Ken was surrounded by parents and grandparents who modeled service and an uncompromising love for truth centered around God’s Word. Sometimes our testimony is a series of divinely orchestrated events that get us on the same page with God, other times it’s a pivotal moment. Either way, who can doubt that it’s miraculous, and Ken’s story truly is, from the beginning! From science teacher to AiG, God has had His purposes and plans for one of the most enduring and effective apologetics ministries of modern times. We talk about his youth in Australia, the birth of AiG, coming to American shores, and the Creation Museum project. We learn of experiences both high and low in engaging the culture and standing firm for truth that has made the AiG worldview so eternally effective. The book is “Miraculous! The Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis Story”, which can be found here.

Shawn Weber: Training Up a Child in a Screen Age

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 16:22:48 +0000

Shawn Weber

Today’s FRESH NEW PODCAST: Dave Wager talks with sixth-grade math teacher and former youth pastor Shawn Weber about schooling, home life, and a child’s heart. Using Proverbs 22:6 as the anchor, they dig into respect in the classroom, impulsivity driven by screens, and how parents can model leadership at home. Shawn explains why he serves in public schools, how Christian teachers quietly witness by the way they live, and how students can respectfully ask faith-forward questions. Dave urges parents to pray for teachers, speak with grace, and partner with the school instead of swiping people the way we swipe apps.

Practical helps fill the hour. Ask better questions after school, not “What did you do?” but “Show me what you’re working on.” Let kids teach you what they learned, set short, consistent homework routines, and use bedtime review to lock in memory. Keep AI in its place. Learning is the struggle that forms character, not outsourcing the answer. Aim for feedback, not judgment, when you look at grades. Above all, remember the path is about loving God, walking with Him, and helping your child grow in wisdom as you walk it together.

Chris Quintana: Retiring to Bedlam – Distress of Nations with Perplexity

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 15:33:32 +0000

Mary welcomes back Bible teacher Chris Quintana to get a grip on the times. When people say, “get a grip”, what do they mean? Getting a grip on reality in 2025 includes really pausing to see things for what they are. The waves of the sea tossing, with a side of perplexity suggests that God is backing the world into a corner and they are not seeing a way out. What does this look like then? We talk about the chaos that leads to global change, in a number of categories. When Dickens had his beloved Scrooge say, “I’ll retire to bedlam”, what did that mean? Back in the 13th century, there was a hospital in London for the insane called Bethlehem Hospital, shortened to “Bedlam”. When Scrooge was talking to Bob Cratchit about Christmas and the “insanity” of celebrating anything, being merry, when he didn’t have two shillings to rub together – that was “insanity”. Scrooge further implied that if he were to do that, find himself happy outside of his wealth, he would willingly have himself committed – “retire to Bedlam”. This showed his priorities over everything, including people. The craziness in this world, it is not going anywhere. We talk about the technocrats, rich tech engineers who do see the chaos in the world’s systems, and believe that the order that tech brings, and control over everything and everyone, will bring order. We look at various other crises and the answers the world gives to the chaos. A fascinating hour with an articulate man.

Bill Wilson: Moments of Truth

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 16:37:20 +0000

Mary welcomes back Bill Wilson of The Daily Jot to pull the curtain back on some inconvenient truths – inconvenient for those who don’t like truth telling, anyway. In the aftermath of yesterday’s shocking headline of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, sometimes the bedrock of truth will go head to head with wickedness and a high price is paid. Worldviews clash daily in these times, but embedded in the series of decisions that were made to take this man’s life over ideology is the true definition of “crossing the rubicon” – and America will take a long time to recover from this, if we do. Today we also discuss the the political polarization fallout of the Sars/Cov pandemic, accompanied by the general declining trust in public health measures that followed, along with more intense political division. If it only took a couple weeks for Fauci and his ilk to shut our country down, why has it taken an additional 4 years to finish a thought on the scam of the century? Well, there are those who are finally getting around to spelling it out. We also chat about lawfare against Trump’s agenda, Senator Tim Kaine’s radical views, and the myth of the Palestinian State. Set for September 22, the UN is continuing to push hard for that unknown state for an unknown people (see, “terrorists”). But Trump has disallowed visas for Mahmoud Abbas and 80 of his closest friends in terror. Now what? Well, change of venue perhaps. Stay tuned. A full hour with a prophecy watcher and journalist.

Another news cycle, another opportunity to convey the lateness of the hour – and the lunacy that goes with that. That time is short is so painfully obvious, because at what point does even tech outpace that Revelation 13 scenario? Living on the edge of history has its advantages – namely, it keeps us on our toes and the edge of our seats all at the same time. Now, if AI genius of the day Peter Thiel is delivering lectures on the antichrist, it might be time to look up. When quakes and volcanoes threaten “global winter”, it might be time to look up. When persecution and the Middle East heat up hot as the fires of judgment, it might be time to look up. The point of all of it? Look up! Our redemption is nigh and people are on the edge of sanity it would seem. More news cycle and more mayhem awaits, but it’s all good. Take us home, Lord.

Testimony Tuesday: Bruce Carroll – State of the Art

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 16:20:49 +0000

Mary welcomes Bruce Carroll to the podcast to talk about his story, his life, his art. Bruce is a quintessential musician and artist in every facet. We talk about his early years, how they formed who he is, coming from a broken home. Becoming a Christian was the farthest thing from his thoughts, like most of us. One thread that runs through every testimony from his age group is a love of music, as though that was bound to be part of our lives. How did music enter into his day to day, what was he able to build upon to become such an iconic singer songwriter in the church? We talk about the Grammys, Dove Awards, touring, record contracts, parenting, and grandparenting. Bruce is a compassionate lover of truth, and a true blessing to the church; his heart for people comes through in all he does. We also talk about the point at which the church became an inward-looking entity instead of outward. What was the Apostle Paul’s answer to a selfish church? “Have nothing to do with them.” An insightful hour with one of the great songwriters of our generation.

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 15:29:58 +0000

[Original airdate: 9/6/24] On today’s podcast we chat with Chris Quintana, Kyle Peart and Flynn Huseby live in the studio. Up for discussion is the urgency of the gospel and bringing hope to as many as possible while the church is still able to speak clearly and uncompromisingly. Two things that await every human are death and standing before God. One hundred years from now, all that will be important is, who is in heaven with us? While there may come a time when we can no longer communicate the truth openly, our neighbors and friends need to hear. Kyle and Flynn have a heart for the lost and through their ministry, Once Lost Ministries, they contend for the faith with clarity and zeal. Then we look at Israel and the latest headlines there with Chris who has a thorough understanding of Israel and her place in prophecy.

Julaine Appling: Fighting for the Family

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 05 Sep 2025 16:11:36 +0000

Mary welcomes back Julaine Appling to talk about a smorgasbord of issues that affect the family. With a new school year and the Big Beautiful Bill, we look at some funding options for families whether they homeschool, charter, or attend public schools. Then we look at the increase of sports gambling around the nation. Why in the last few years are we inundated with ads for team odds and the money to be had? For so long, teams, players and fans were concerned about the integrity of the games, but no more. Sports gambling has become a real challenge for family finances in all sorts of households, but now some are looking to bet on Little League. It’s unthinkable that adults should profit off a child’s learning teamwork and athletic skills, but somehow it’s not completely surprising. Then we look at the Illinois mandate to provide mental health evaluations in all schools; transgender violence, and the issue of the availability of the abortion pill in Texas.

Jim Fletcher: Living in Bible Times

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 15:35:18 +0000

Mary chats with Jim Fletcher about a prophecy in Zechariah 2 that most Christians have never looked into. In his booklet “Zechariah 2”, he fleshes out one of the most interesting passages imaginable – where prophecy intersects with modern times – and wouldn’t you know, it has to do with the creation of the modern state of Israel. Shocking! There are over 100 prophecies foretelling their regathering, is the church even listening to God on this one? Jim is one of the most articulate around when it comes to clearly expositing on this subject, one that should be dear to all our hearts. There is so much swirling around us in terms of prophetic fulfillment, and still we find far too much claimed as prophetic fulfillment that is not. Why doesn’t the church keep the main thing the main thing, with a Bible full of remarkable things to look into that we have yet to master? Jim’s 2nd, current book, “The God that Answers By Fire”, contains 7 of the greatest fulfillments related to Israel’s regathering, and a believer can camp out on those for a season to fully understand the big picture. A full hour with one of the best Israel apologists around.

“Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God’s great Judgment Seat” (Rudyard Kipling). Tim and Mary take on another news cycle, as Summer gives way to Fall. What will the new season bring, regarding the Middle East and the falling West? There may not be a lot of commentary in the week after Labor Day, but things done under the sun are never “done”. Today we talk about the very real potential for famine following the reported collapse of bee colonies in the West. The Bible has some pretty dire warnings about this in Revelation 6. Also on the agenda, the changes in the UK on a civilizational level. How long till what is turning into utter tyranny over there, will we see such brazen, unlawful censorship here in the States? Probably just one presidential election away. We take a look at the Vatican’s LGBTQ embrace, and why is it that they speak out of both sides of their mouths on this lifestyle, and try to appear to condone it? Yes, East and West will, according to the Bible, become one big happy dictatorship in the end, but God will bring both together for judgment after the sin of the earth-dwellers is full. East and West shall meet.

Orphans, Heirs, and the Providence of God

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 02 Sep 2025 15:24:03 +0000

Today Mary brings her testimony to the table on our 2nd Testimony Tuesday. While every testimony is a series of divine appointments and God’s revelation to the heart of someone, Mary has a historical context to widen the scope of God’s providential ways. Tracing events from her great-grandmother to today, we see that God’s ways are truly not ours. In the 2nd half of the podcast, we take a look at Malachi 3 and 4 and some of the most beautiful verses in the entire Bible. We talk about the books of God, and how our tears are recorded, showing us a God Who has great care and compassion for us. Once we get to the end of Malachi 4, prophetic utterances from God come to a halt, and we don’t pick up the redemption story until Matthew 1, and a new epoch arrives with a song of “glory to God in the highest”. What happened in that time frame? A lot, as we shall see, as we place it in historical context. A full hour looking at some of the more lovely things about this God we serve, in awe and wonder. The big picture today on Stand Up for the Truth.

Judge Phil Ginn: Marriage – Some Assembly Required

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 15:50:49 +0000

From the courtroom to the boardroom, from the pulpit to the podcast booth, Judge Phil Ginn is a man who has lived a life of extraordinary purpose and unwavering faith. He’s a respected judge who served over two decades on the bench, presiding over countless cases in nearly half of North Carolina’s county seats. He’s a successful entrepreneur who took a struggling pump company and transformed it into a thriving industry leader. Currently, Judge Ginn currently serves as the president of Southern Evangelical Seminary, a leader in apologetics education—teaching students to defend their faith and talk intelligently, passionately and rationally about what they believe and why they believe it. Today Mary talks to the Judge about marriage – as an apologetic. When we think of apologetics, we think of cults, defending the gospel, evangelism and false teaching. But in the culture wars, what could be more important than defending the building blocks of society when all around us are those who wish to destroy it? Remember the “free love” movement of the ’60s? Free it was not, and freedom was not attained. Rather, it was just one more knife in the heart of defending life and the picture of marriage that God desires us to project. Some deep thoughts about marriage and family today. Worth fighting for!

Tim and Mary look at the news cycle, and are forced to conclude that something deep inside the culture has snapped. How else are we to think when saying “bacon” is a crime? And California wants to pass a child trafficking bill that isn’t what you would think it is, and forget the blood moons, we have a much bigger problem, Houston. It’s not that this massive comet that could wipe out all life on earth is actually going to hit our fair planet, it’s the media spin and fear mongering that is going to occupy our minds. It doesn’t matter if it’s an actual threat anyway, kind of like bacon. We talk a bit about AI, and flag burning – also not a story you might expect. We should just stop expecting normality and go for the big apocalyptic scenario, because, it’s coming. If the news cycle doesn’t get you, the truth of the Scripture will because in the end, God has the last word.

Scott Townsend: AI – True Intelligence, or Massive Hoax?

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 15:29:36 +0000

Mary welcomes speaker, author and AI expert Scott Townsend to the podcast to talk about the concerning characteristics of AI. The word “artificial” should give us our first clue as to what kind, if any, intel is within. Scott has written extensively on why we should be extremely wary of the potential delusion that comes packaged with the “illusion”. A parrot can say that 2+2 is 4, but it doesn’t know why. In a similar way, AI can spout all sorts of learned input but has no idea the physical reality. AI can tell us when certain stars or planets will be predictably in our skies, but has no knowledge of the physics in motion to make it true. We look at patterns and inference in AI, and all the ways it fails the simplest sniff tests. Also for discussion, Scott’s gracious and heartfelt open letters to pastors, to challenge them to present prophecy biblically, as well as what we see in the news that obviously points to the season of Christ’s return. How is it that they don’t even have a working knowledge of Daniel, Ezekiel and Revelation? Is their approach to ministry more temporal than looking to our sure future? A timely discussion with a true Watchman for our time.

Dr. Timothy Durkee: The Truth That Sets Us Free—In Medicine, Politics, and Life

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 25 Aug 2025 15:25:37 +0000

On today’s Stand Up for the Truth, host Dave Wager brings on his longtime friend Dr. Tim, a physician and city council member, for a wide-ranging conversation rooted in John 8:32—“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Dave reflects on God’s role in medicine, sharing how he trusted the Lord through his wife’s cancer surgery, while Tim recalls moments when prayer guided him through critical procedures. The two talk through how truth requires discernment and obedience, not just knowledge. In his practice, Tim emphasizes the difference between evidence-based medicine and social narratives that distort reality, pointing to abortion, gender ideology, and the drift away from foundational truths. Together they affirm that real freedom comes from trusting God, not institutions.

The conversation shifts to politics and culture as Dr. Tim highlights the growing influence of narratives in media, government, and education. He notes how truth is often sidelined for political gain and how leaders stray from foundational principles of governance. Dave and Tim explore how many problems the government tries to fix stem from the church neglecting its role in caring for the poor, elderly, and vulnerable. Dave stresses the importance of returning to simplicity—living by God’s Word, valuing life, serving others, and trusting God’s provision. They close by reminding listeners that belief and truth are not the same—truth always stands, and ultimate freedom is found in Christ.

Dr. JB Hixson

Today Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to chat about the gospel – what it is, and what it isn’t. This week, President Trump expressed the idea that if he is able to settle the score between Putin and Zelenskyy and thereby save lives, wouldn’t that be enough to get into heaven? Back in 2016, Trump met with 1000 evangelicals in New York, presumably to secure the evangelical vote. Since then he has surrounded himself with various believers of different stripes, and somehow evangelicals conclude that Trump is a true believer. Of course, those with our wits about us know that is not a reasonable conclusion. The math is all wrong. We discuss the everlasting gospel in depth and the grace that surrounds it – and then we go through a list of things that are presented as representing the true gospel but in truth are counterfeits. How can we know the fake gospels? How can the church be armed with the ways to combat these insidious fakes? A doctrinal hour with JB.

Mondo Gonzales: Let the Reader Understand

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 21 Aug 2025 15:26:45 +0000

Mary welcomes Mondo Gonzales today to talk prophecy – but not just in the way that simply confirms the interpretation of the day. Central to our conversation is the famous passage in Daniel 9:27 – “and he shall confirm a covenant with (the) many…” Prophecy teachers have generally taught that to be a peace treaty, making anyone who facilitated such a covenant either the Antichrist, or associated with him. But what if that isn’t in view? Did you know that the word “peace” is nowhere to be found in that verse? From time to time, it’s okay to step back from the pop prophecy that we have been taught and make sure we aren’t torturing the text. To make sure we can defend our position FROM the text. A fascinating discussion. We also get a red heifer update, and talk 10 kings. Who are these guys that Daniel and Revelation 17 both say will get to rule with the Antichrist for a brief moment? Mondo Gonzales was a pastor for 16 years and also has a graduate degree in Biblical archaeology. He is the director of the Psalm 19 Project which has a university class observatory with three separate telescopes scanning and photographing the heavens. He also enjoys theology, running, and traveling. You can find him hosting the Prophecy Watchers TV program and podcast. His book, The Mystery of the Red Heifer was released in March.

Tim and Mary take on those in this world that love to put “-crat” at the end of everything. After all, don’t we all live in a “demo-cracy”? Well some do, and some don’t. The core meaning of “-crat” is related to power and authority, in the context of government. And that 80s tune, “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” is becoming more prophetic as the years go on. The techno people think they do or will rule the world. The Eurocrats definitely are on their way to ruling the world, because the Bible says so and they are all to willing to comply. The Demo-crats, ever power hungry and angry want to take back the rule of the US and will just keep getting angrier until they get their way. So today, lots of crats to go around. We also discuss the death of the small farm, how mobile devices render our kids stupid, and Costco’s decision not to carry the abortion pill. A full hour of global insanity, but one that we hope gives insight to the news cycle in light of Bible prophecy.

Testimony Tuesday: The Heart and Soul of Richie Furay

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 15:53:13 +0000

Mary welcomes guest Richie Furay for our first Testimony Tuesday, as we look at his full and storied life as a member of pioneering bands Buffalo Springfield and Poco. With all that success, what drove him to his knees? How does a person reconcile or intersect the unique life of the spotlight, in the definitive 1960s no less, with the calling of a pastor and troubadour for Jesus? When he returned to Ohio for his Hall of Fame induction, he had a moment of clarity, that those two lives, and all the craziness, were both him, and God was in every moment. Sometimes we have a hard time reconciling our “two lives” as believers, we run from who we were in shame. But God. We talk to him about the early years, the fame years, and the ministry years. Richie and Nancy have been married since 1967, and as the family has grown up, their seasoning and maturity in Christ has had an impact for eternity. Keeping up with his energy level is always a great way to spend an hour.

Replay – Chuck Girard: A Move of God – the Genesis & Power of ‘Jesus Music’

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 15:00:33 +0000

[Originally aired: 5/4/23] Chuck Girard, singer, songwriter, recording artist, and worship leader, is one of the pioneers of Contemporary Christian Music. He was co-founder and lead singer of the group LOVE SONG from it’s beginning to the present. Born in Los Angeles, Chuck began playing music at an early age. In his teens, he formed a group called THE CASTELLS, which had two national top 20 hits. They also released the song “I Do”, which was produced by Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. Chuck shared the stage with stars such as Roy Orbison, Jan and Dean, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bobby Vee, and others. This led to a successful career as a studio singer and musician which included singing the lead vocals on THE HONDELLS first two albums and their biggest hit, “Little Honda.”

In his early twenties Chuck became disillusioned with life, and like so many of his generation began experimenting with drugs. This led to a five-year search for God through LSD, eastern religion, and a committed “hippie” lifestyle.

Rock & Roll Preacher – Chuck Girard

After years of searching for meaning through drugs, Buddhism, sex, and Eastern philosophy, a long-haired hippie musician walked his bare feet into a little country church and encountered the living God. Confounded by the simplicity of the gospel, a young Chuck Girard dedicated his life to Jesus during the height of the sexual revolution and civil unrest that characterized the decade of the ’60s. Along with thousands of other “Jesus Freaks” who came to be known as the Jesus Movement, Chuck’s story was only just getting started. This raw and honest memoir is both refreshing and convicting.

Mary welcomes back Usama Dakdok to lay a firm foundation on who exactly owns that contested piece of land called “Israel”. Usama was born in Egypt and grew up in a Christian home. While in government schools in Egypt, he learned about Islam just as every other student does in a Muslim country. Usama also studied for a university degree in Egypt which included the study of Sharia, Islamic law. He first came to America in 1992. With all of his knowledge about Islam, he felt he could reach out to Muslim people in America with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Thus he began The Straight Way of Grace Ministry. Today we ask ourselves, how did the world come to swallow the narrative of a land called Palestine and Palestinian people? Is it largely to erase Israel’s claim to the land? It seems to be the Lie of the Century, when it comes to Bible prophecy at least. And all that antisemitism today? That’s about that piece of land too. God’s Word ties their redemption to that piece of real estate, so of course, it IS about that. Always educational with Usama.

Dr. Corey Miller: Ideas Have Consequences, Bad Ideas Have Victims

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 15:24:31 +0000

Mary welcomes new guest Dr. Corey Miller of Ratio Christi ministry. Corey Miller grew up in Utah as a 7th generation Mormon. He came to Christ and later became a pastor, philosophy professor, campus minister, and now serves as the president and CEO of Ratio Christi. He has authored or edited 5 books and holds 3 masters degrees and a PhD from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. His focus is on the intersection of faith, reason, and culture. His new book, “The Progressive Miseducation of America: Confronting the Cultural Revolution from the Classroom to Your Community” is set to release October 14. Today we discuss higher education’s devolution into an echo chamber for leftist ideologies. Far from an actual education, today’s ultra-liberal universities are really the gatekeepers for revolutionary ideas. We saw for ourselves how the curtain was pulled back to reveal rabid antisemitism from coast to coast. Is there any way to reclaim our once great educational institutions? A fascinating hour with Dr. Miller.

Headlines: What Goes Around Eventually Comes Around

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 15:26:22 +0000

On today’s podcast, Tim and Mary Danielsen explore the news cycle, such as it is, changing minute by minute. We start out with a “wrong side of everything” story about the granddaughter of the man who owned the company that produced Zykon-B gas in mass quantities to rid the world of the Jews. Now, since she is adamantly “opposed to genocide”, she has joined an upcoming flotilla to protest Israel’s treatment of Gaza. It really doesn’t get any more twisted than this – but her flotilla mates are quick to exclaim that “at least she is on the right side of history”. We shall see about that. Along with all the nations who are going to actively oppose Israel’s retake of Gaza. We take a look at the latest shunning of mRNA tech, and it’s good news, as is the report that all federal records of those who had resisted or been exempted from the jab will find that their records have been destroyed. It’s funny how that season of tyranny is finally past us without so much as a “gee you rebels were right all along” acknowledgment. We also take a look at a different form of tyranny in the EU where starting in October, the Powers That Be will be spying on their citizens’ chats. No surprises there. Another week of on again off again global elite mischief and Jew hatred here in the last half of 2025.

Elizabeth Urbanowicz: Firm Foundations for Life

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 15:26:25 +0000

Mary welcomes new guest Elizabeth Urbanowicz, a follower of Jesus Christ who is passionate about equipping kids to understand the truth of the Christian worldview. Elizabeth began her professional career as an elementary teacher in a Christian school. Several years into her teaching experience, she realized that despite being raised in Christian homes, attending a Christian school, and being active in church, her students thought more like the culture than like Christ. She began searching for curricular materials that would equip her students to think critically, helping them discover that Christianity is the worldview that lines up with reality. After not finding any materials that met this need, she began creating a curriculum for her students. Today we look at how to move our kids forward, and pursue excellence in everything, at a time when the culture keeps going backwards everywhere we look. Counteracting a worldly worldview is a full time job. How can families and churches proactively keep their youth engaged with truth? What will it take, consistently and purposefully? A full hour with Elizabeth as we seek to begin to guard our hearts with all diligence and raise children to be confident, passionate lovers of truth. (A discount code has been set up for our listeners, save $10 off a family license of any curriculum using STANDUP10.)

Replay – Pete Garcia: Apocalyptophobia

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 14:55:01 +0000

[Original airdate: 10/17/24] Mary welcomes back Pete Garcia for a conversation about the Apocalypse. The media is using “of biblical proportions” more and more to describe the world we are in. Climate change, economic meltdown, natural disasters (“birth pangs”) and AI takeover of the human race all contribute to apocalyptic fear and fervor. We look at the exponential increase of these types of films over the last 100 years, as well as headlines that invoke fear. To what end? There are multiple answers to that question, but they do include keeping the masses fearful and in crisis mode, but also it plays right into the anticipation of the man with the answers – the Antichrist. Is there also a fear of death that these movies seem to bring actual consolation? Perhaps, since the phrase, “post-apocalyptic” is so common today, and describes those who have survived the worst and lived to tell, and renovate, and repopulate. A fascinating subject that ends with our hope, and how to spread that instead of terror. Pete Garcia is a military combat veteran and aviator, writer, researcher, speaker, and teacher of Bible prophecy and apologetics with a BA in International Relations and a graduate of the US Army’s prestigious Command and General Staff College. He wrote for Jack Kinsella’s The Omega Letter from 2011-2018. To date, he has written hundreds of articles that are carried on numerous websites and platforms.

Andy Woods: Palestine and Gaza – Stuck Between the Truth and a Hard Place

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 08 Aug 2025 15:28:25 +0000

Mary welcomes back Pastor Andy Woods to talk about the ongoing and often unpredictable hostilities in the Middle East. There seems to be no end to the back and forth politicization of every possible way to sway the west toward the current pro-Hamas agenda. From lies about starving children to the growing call for a Palestinian state, Israel is front and center of all the (big) news that is fit to print. We also discuss an insidious bill in the California Assembly designed to empower the state to control children; we look at those who have weighed in on that. Another topic is the Mesquite, TX mosque and its proselytizing of children who attend taxpayer funded schools. We don’t necessarily need to explore who is behind it, but rather ask ourselves how is this being allowed to take place at all? Finally, we talk about EU censorship that has gone so far down the rabbit hole there is no going back. Andy Woods is Pastor of Sugarland Bible Church and is one of the very best systematic Bible teachers in the land. His YouTube channel is loaded with great content.

Anxious for Nothing, Part II: The Transformed Life

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 07 Aug 2025 15:50:27 +0000

Today Mary continues what she started back on July 24, looking long and hard at anxiety and the plague of worry that has many Americans – and a considerable number of believers – tied up in knots. Oftentimes, unfairly, we simply throw a Bible verse at a person who is living in a pattern of anxiety, as if that is an instant cure. And, technically, it is – but there is something about the hole of anxiety that seems to require some critical thinking, AND doing, to get free. Anxiety, and it’s offspring, depression, (Proverbs 12:25) are not what God has for us, and so if we do find ourselves in such a season, there is no reason to founder and get sidetracked, or worse yet, shipwrecked. There are several practical things we can do and there IS a way forward. We look at psychology, an opposing worldview that offers no hope, and we talk about all the ways that anxiety wants to get hold and linger, even through spiritual warfare. Our enemy does not play fair. So, we will stare this down together and come away with tools to help, including getting past being our own worst enemy from time to time. Overcomers, we are.

Headlines: The People of the Book

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 06 Aug 2025 15:25:24 +0000

Tim and Mary take a look at the latest news cycle, with the specific underlying theme of the greatest headline in a generation, that of the modern nation of Israel. Much of the church has left the position of Israel being the main player in God’s last days plan. What are some of the things we are following right now? The UN and their obsession with a 2-state solution has caused the world to think that 1) if they say it often enough it will happen, and 2) it IS the solution to the “Mideastmess”. Israel expert Jim Fletcher asks the question, “what will happen when France (and other co-conspirators) declares a Palestinian state? Absolutely nothing. The US and Israel are nowhere to be found here politically or philosophically. Also today we talk about the 9th of Av, an annual commemoration and period of mourning in Israel that occurs each Summer at some point. This is a day to remember the destruction of both Jewish temples, but so much more – a very interesting dot-connecting exercise. We also look at why we call the Jews the “People of the Book”, and why that matters today too. A full hour of news, factoids, and dots. Here’s the video link discussed in the podcast (click here).

Claude Stauffer: Zechariah – A Major Message from a Minor Prophet

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 15:28:40 +0000

PASTOR CLAUDE STAUFFER

On today’s podcast, we welcome back Pastor Claude Stauffer of Calvary Chapel of Hope in Amityville, NY. Pastor Claude is a graduate of Hofstra University (B.A. Sociology) and Asbury Theological Seminary (Master of Divinity). He has been in ministry since 1986 and presently serves as the senior pastor of Calvary Chapel of Hope, a church he has served from its beginning in 1993. He served bi-vocationally as a pastor and social worker for 16 years. He is the author of over 30 books, the latest of which is a thorough look at the person and work of the Holy Spirit and has a vital radio ministry to the Northeast and beyond. Today we look at the first few chapters of Zechariah in order to understand the who, what, and how of being used by Him. Primarily, the key verse is “Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord ” (Zech. 4:6). So much of what goes on in the church seems to point to a generation that thinks worship-tainment, a best-selling self-help book, and programs are the way to accomplish the work of God, when really, none of that works. It hasn’t, and it won’t. Zechariah and the Holy Spirit have a lot to say to us here in 2025. Pastor Claude’s most excellent blog can be found here. His books can be found here, and many in electronic/Kindle format are available at no cost.

Jeremy Lundgren: The Pursuit of Safety and the Illusion of Control

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 16:07:07 +0000

On today’s FRESH NEW Stand Up for the Truth podcast, host Dave Wager talks with Jeremy Lundgren, president of Nicolet Bible Institute and author of The Pursuit of Safety: A Theology of Danger, Risk, and Security. Together, they unpack what it really means to live safely in a world that doesn’t guarantee it. From kids on playground slides to airline mechanics and foolproof machines, the conversation highlights how modern culture often confuses safety with control. Jeremy explains that true security begins with obedience to God. Drawing from Proverbs 19:16 and real-world examples, he shows that safety isn’t about eliminating risk but about walking in wisdom and purpose.

Dave and Jeremy also reflect on how we process fear, trust, and mortality in a fallen world. Whether it’s cancer, car accidents, or uncertainty about the future, the conversation points listeners to the God who holds all things together. Jeremy emphasizes the difference between existing and truly living. Understanding our limitations helps us trust God’s plan. From medieval medicine to modern technology, this episode explores how spiritual maturity, godly counsel, and biblical perspective help believers navigate danger without losing their sense of mission.

Patrick Wood: Land of the Free, or Home of the Brave New World?

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 15:24:43 +0000

Mary welcomes back the expert on all things AI, Patrick Wood; author, lecturer, economist and a leading and critical expert on Sustainable Development, Green Economy, Agenda 21, Agenda 2030 and Technocracy. Now more than ever we need his insights because the White House just released “America’s AI Action Plan” which should concern us all. There is something uniquely oxymoronic about our President, on the one hand a nationalist with America’s best interests in mind; born in a century with no tech and in a nation with completely different sensibilities on every level, and yet determined to see America lead the AI pace in the world. Of course you could easily argue he is just competitive, a driven dealmaker who always wins and really does want the best for Americans. And yet. AI is not something that is developed or dispensed by politicians or bureaucrats, but by technocrats who also want to win – and bring the world under the spell and bondage of artificial intel. What is this AI Action Plan and how will it affect our lives? We break it down and try to help the listener get a grasp on our Brave New Future, minus actual reality.

Linda Harvey: Reading, Writing, and Propaganda

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 15:18:59 +0000

Mary welcomes back Linda Harvey of Mission America to talk about the upcoming school year, and the propaganda calendar that is put into place from the moment they walk in the doors, to the last day in June during “Pride Month”. We take a look at all the woke and brainwashing events that kids are subject to, none of which have anything to do with the concept of education. Wouldn’t it be great to have, say, something like “Holocaust Remembrance Day” to key in on actual injustice, historically factual and worthy of study? Or is it better to teach on perversion and shame those kids who don’t want to partake? Is it possible for our kids to be change agents, or is opting out the best choice? We also look at some rulings that might allow a lot of these weekly LGBTQ events to go away quietly. Teaching kids to make it in the real world with academics would be quite the concept in schools today. Linda is on the front lines of the culture wars and she is up on all the things we need to watch in order to protect our families.

Headlines: The Information Superhighway

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 30 Jul 2025 15:27:43 +0000

Originally coined in the 1990’s, the Information Superhighway was a term used to describe digital communication systems that is mostly associated with then Senator and future Vice President Al Gore. The basic idea was to be able to provide access to information to all, no matter what the level of income was. With the explosion of the World Wide Web, essentially, the Internet became the information superhighway. Other resources describe the concept as “…directly connects millions of people, each both a consumer of information and a potential provider…” or “a route or network for the high-speed transfer of information…” or “something that will link every home or office to everything else – movies and television shows, shopping services…” And it changed the world. No one saw it coming, any more than people alive in 1890 anticipated the US Freeway system. With that in mind, today’s news cycle gets some context as we talk about all the headlines fit for a Wednesday! We start off with trending news, including the historical 8.8 quake in far eastern Russia. Is it one of the biggest in history as is being claimed? Then we talk about the Trump EU tariff deal and what it means for geopolitics. Tim takes on hurricanes and the frequency of those over the last couple years, and it’s probably for a reason you did not expect. We look at an immigration warning for America based on the July deal signed between Starmer and Macron. Finally, AI is spiritual. Sci-Fi has told us it is forever in the future, but truly, it’s here – and we still think it’s in the future. A fertile ground for massive deception.

JB Hixson: Assurance of Things Hoped For, Evidence of Things Unseen

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 15:23:58 +0000

Dr. JB Hixson

Stand Up welcomes back JB Hixson to talk about faith and the free exercise thereof. What begins as that which saves us opens a door to a brand new life as a new creation. As we begin this life, what is important? Faith comes by hearing so that systematic study of the Scriptures must undergird all we do as our hearts and minds are transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit, the same power that rose our Saviour from the grave. Walking by faith then is the workout of our lives! What does that look like? Of course, God has a different path for each of us and no one can walk that walk for us. But God’s word applies to ALL of us! What a glorious operating manual for all things pertaining to life and godliness. All means all here, we can assume that. So as we move forward, what are some of the things that might challenge our faith, make it like gold tried in the furnace? When things don’t make sense, when our prayers seem to bounce off the ceiling, when people hurt us or betray us or when tragedy strikes, what is our response? Does the response change from year to year as we move forward in Christ? Growing beyond our circumstances prepares us for eternity. Life is hard and full of challenges but faith, along with hope and love, remain. An encouraging hour with Pastor JB.

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 28 Jul 2025 15:42:51 +0000

[Original airdate: 7/12/24] Mary Danielsen chats with Creation instructor Brian Young about the genetic code of life and how God designed it to adapt to life in a fallen world. In Colossians we learn that God holds all things together until the day He dissolves it all in favor of a new heavens and a new earth. Until then, all of creation is groaning and travailing. How was the curse manifested in all we see and perceive? Epigenetics is the latest subject in the area of DNA and genetics and further combats evolution. Brian is an internationally known speaker and author, was a teacher and principal for ten years before becoming director of Creation Instruction Association and has a creation museum in Broken Bow, Nebraska. He has been doing high energy talks on the topic of creation and Biblical authority for over 25 years, doing debates at Universities, going into prisons, and sharing at churches, schools and camps around the world to kids and adults alike. He uses scientific demonstrations and high-energy talks filled with Scripture and science, all to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to lift up Biblical authority in every aspect of life. A fascinating hour.

John Haller: A Treasonous Plot, An AI Scheme, and a Silicon Cabal

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 25 Jul 2025 15:24:08 +0000

John Haller is back to bring us headlines from any and every corner and byway of the “information superhighway”. Remember when the internet was called that? A highway of information, bumper to bumper and filled with potholes? Well, they had that right. And it’s very hard to find an exit ramp if you are on it, because it gets weirder by the day. Today we talk about a treasonous conspiracy that frankly, most Americans will not have any trouble believing – the Clinton/Obama/DOJ/Biden mafia circle of influence on American politics circa 2016. We all know that something went really wrong and still, few of us think anything will come of it. We also talk about AI and the dangers, which change daily – and affect every person in the Western world at least. For now. Soon enough it will engulf the globe via technocracy. Then there’s Turkey and it’s love fest with Qatar. Back in 2023, following the Hamas brutality against Israel, Qatar was hosting some negotiations, something that should have sent up multiple red flags. Just whom is in bed with whom over there? John helps us sort all that out in today’s installment of Stand Up for the Truth. You can find John’s excellent and timely updates on the FBC YouTube channel.

Mary Danielsen: Traveling Hopefully, Anxious for Nothing

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 24 Jul 2025 15:29:28 +0000

Did you ever wake up in the morning with rampant negativity sucking the life out of you? The flesh just doesn’t want to face the same troubles and anxieties you went to bed with. This is not only common, but it is also a sure way for the enemy of hope to get us defeated before we even put one foot on the floor. Recognizing the pattern is the start of traveling more hopefully, taking those thoughts captive. Today we look at some of the ways to be more hopeful, be less gullible, and all in all have a more positive outlook that stems from unshakeable faith in the Lord, for everything big and small. If the enemy’s greatest tool is deception, our most potent weapon is truth and lots of it. I always figure, if we are not depressed from time to time, we aren’t paying close enough attention. But that needn’t be our way of life. Head into the wind, against the current – that would be us, and we get weary. Sometimes we get anxious, and it can be debilitating. How can we get that out of our lives? Is it possible? Oh yes. Talking hope in the midst of whatever, we all need that. Let’s continue to walk each other home with hearts knit together in love, full of faith and – HOPE.

Another Wednesday, another news round up! Tim and Mary capture a slice of global living with Canada’s antisemitism problem, AI malfunctions, and various topics that point to a culture that you might think cannot hold together for long. Why is Canada so infected with Israel Derangement Syndrome? What possesses the PA to condemn a food truck rally in Jerusalem for being too Jewish? Psychotic levels of envy? Possibly. We also look at a great piece on archaeology as apologetic – with no absence of evidence anymore of the historical accuracy for the Bible, how does this change how we present truth to people, here in the 21st century? And if you think back on your worst day on the job, it likely won’t hold a candle to the guy whose rogue AI task went berserk. Speaking of berserk, try not to let the day’s lunacy override your hope in all things biblical.

Juan Valdes: The Foundations and Fundamentals of Critical Thinking

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 15:25:10 +0000

Mary welcomes back Juan Valdes of Reasons for Hope to discuss the hows and whys of critical thinking in a post-truth world. Humans bring many biases, indoctrinations and emotions to so many issues of the day, and seem content to take most things at face value instead of thinking things through in context. Words have meaning, and even before we speak, our thoughts have already given birth to a multitude of possible words – and actions. No believer can ever hope to be an effective apologist without understanding the importance of thinking things through – with the goal of giving an answer to all who ask about our hope. Social media, in fact, is probably the main contributor to the destruction of meaningful discourse in the public square. We talk about how critical thinking is indispensable in our lives at any age. Juan is the senior pastor of a Spanish-speaking congregation in Florida and has worked at a Christian school as both a chaplain and a teacher for more than 20 years. His educational background includes graduate work at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and master’s degrees from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary and Logos Graduate School. He has a Doctor of Ministry in Apologetics from Southern Evangelical Seminary. As an educated and experienced teacher of apologetics, Juan has taught Bible and Introduction to Philosophy at the High School level, and Theology, Bible, and Apologetics at the seminary level, in both English and Spanish.

Joel Settecase: When Evidence Isn’t Enough: Reaching the Hard-Hearted

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 21 Jul 2025 16:34:23 +0000

What does it mean to be ready to explain your hope in Christ? In this thought-provoking episode, Dave Wager welcomes Joel Settecase of the Think Institute to unpack the biblical foundation of apologetics. With 1 Peter 3:15 as the anchor, the two dive into how believers of all ages—from kids to college grads—can share and defend their faith with boldness, grace, and simplicity. Whether you’re a lifelong Christian who’s never questioned God’s existence or someone who regularly engages skeptics, this conversation offers practical insights on how to communicate truth with confidence.

From explaining the Greek word apologia to navigating the objections of today’s culture, Joel outlines a three-step method rooted in Scripture: ask good questions, expose contradictions, and point people to Christ. Dave brings it home with down-to-earth illustrations (yes, even a pen becomes a teaching tool), reminding listeners that God doesn’t need us—but He wants us. If you’ve ever felt unqualified to talk about your faith, this episode will equip and encourage you to stand up for the truth—wherever God has placed you.

Lee Brainard: The Cat, the Fiddle, The Cow and the Moon

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 18 Jul 2025 15:26:43 +0000

Mary welcomes back Bible teacher, student and watchman Lee Brainard to discuss sensationalizing Bible prophecy, especially in the areas of politics and events in nature. Today, with biblical illiteracy at an all time high, it stands to reason that Christians have no meat on their bones when it comes to the systematic study of prophecy. Whereas formerly, the topics of prophecy were centered around Israel, a global government, a global spirituality and a world wide economy powered by technology, suddenly everything is prophetic, and it’s getting noisier out there. Time to bring things back into focus. And there are more blood moons coming, which means sensationalizing the heavens will also be rampant. Who is teaching this and why? We also discuss the New Wine Pentecost movement. What is it, is it biblical? Is it date setting at the core? Who is promoting it and why should we care? Sometimes following social media Bible prophecy sites more resembles a nursery rhyme than the truth. A cat, playing a fiddle, a cow and the moon makes more sense most days. And that dish that ran away with the spoon? Stay tuned.

Russ Miller: It’s About Time

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 17 Jul 2025 15:22:22 +0000

Mary welcomes back Russ Miller to talk about science in general, and how not all science is reliable, except of course that which originates from God – and constitutes truth. Truly, the point of divergence between secular, historical science and operational science paradigms is TIME. Genesis starts out with “in the beginning”, and humans who refuse the literal interpretation of creation have decided that the earth must be billions of years old, and that eventually, time and chance would produce mankind, after an extended period of death. Now, that sounds crazy to the believer but if you insist on proving the Bible wrong, this is your starting point, to claim mankind just appeared and there was no original sin. Secular Nobel scientist George Wald puts it perfectly: “Time is in fact the hero of the plot…given so much time, the impossible becomes possible, the possible probable, and the probable virtually certain. One has only to wait; time itself performs the miracles…” A quote only those who refuse to believe the Bible could love! Talk about exchanging the truth of God for a lie! Russ helps us understand the differences between operational and historical science, and why believers must understand how this forms our worldview. An eye opening hour with one of the most articulate creationists of our day.

Headlines: Holding Fast the Profession of Faith

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 15:24:07 +0000

Tim and Mary come bearing headlines for another round of news and commentary. Today we discuss persecution in America, as anti-Christian rhetoric ramps up in diverse places. Last week we chatted with Todd Nettleton of Voice of the Martyrs to learn about our church family overseas; today we talk about perils in the US – and opportunities to stand firm for the faith. We also look at the latest with the IRS statement allowing pulpits to promote political candidates. Good, bad, ugly? Freedom of speech is always good, and just because it comes from the side of those who preach morals and are pro-life, doesn’t make it less valuable. In fact, the world needs more words of value spoken by God’s people on many subjects. But, we also have people in pews who think differently about politics and candidates. Is this a breeding ground for divisiveness, and what about those who really don’t come to church to hear about politics on any level? Just askin’. We also talk about the 2-state solution and hostility against Jews. Did we really think we would be left out of that danger zone, where our Jewish brethren are suffering for their beliefs but not the church?

Britt Gillette: Economics Update, The Collapse of Reality, Unfriending AI

Mary welcomes back prophecy teacher Britt Gillette who also brings a lot of financial expertise with him to the podcast. Today we talk about the stock market, something many of us don’t truly understand but has a deep impact on our economy, both national and international. What does it mean that the market is over 40,000 when in 1968 it closed at just over 900? We also look at the real estate market. Then we venture into AI when it comes to relationships. There are people out there, those we might call unstable, who are looking to chatbots for deep relationships. What a friend we have in — AI? Is it time to unfriend these platforms? Especially when we consider that AI could deceive on a biblical level when people look to it to recreate their post-mortem loved ones. Why do people see AI as having human natures? Is this an emotional attachment that is due to a lack of real people in their lives? At the deepest level, this is not just disturbing but very sad. An eye-opening hour with Britt.

TA McMahon: Enter Through the Strait Gate

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 15:00:07 +0000

[Original airdate: 7/2/24] Mary chats with TA McMahon of The Berean Call about the nature of so many false teachings today, and the various reactions by the church as to what, if anything, can be done about it. Why is there so much apostasy? The bible says we have a choice, that we must choose to enter by the strait gate, and yet “few there be that find it.” When the church started to go through many different phases in the last 30 years or so, many believers didn’t follow up on warnings, and as such it has become very difficult to keep up. And to say there is sorcery in the church, that is something many may not understand; but through the New Age and experientially-based Christianity, this has indeed become the case. Times ahead may get tougher, so we have to ask ourselves, are we standing firm on the foundation of truth?

Mary welcomes back Todd Nettleton of Voice of the Martyrs to give us perspective on one of those things that should drive us to our knees: our persecuted brethren around the world. Todd is the Chief of Media Relations and Message Integration for The Voice of the Martyrs—USA and host of The Voice of the Martyrs Radio. Todd serves as an advocate for persecuted Christians, inspiring US Christians with the faithfulness of Christ’s followers in 70+ nations where they face persecution for wearing His name. VOM is constantly ministering to and providing resources for our church family that has truly counted the cost of serving Jesus Christ. We talk about the latest hotspots, some of the faces and stories he encounters, and how the church can come alongside. In the 2nd half of the podcast, Mary wraps up another week with some pertinent headlines, including some fascinating stories about Britain’s lead in technology, the ramping up of violence toward American churches, and Pope Leo’s green agenda.

Mary Danielsen: Not So Among You

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 10 Jul 2025 15:27:14 +0000

Today, Mary takes on a topic that may be hard to hear, but is necessary, and few in the church are speaking out about it. The passage is 2 Timothy 3:1-5. When the Bible talks about perilous times, we tend to think about those headlines that appear suddenly and stand the world on its head – birth pangs, wars and rumours, Israel. And yet these verses point to a peril no one wants to talk about: the human heart. And not of unbelievers, but in the church. How in the world did we get here, loving self more than God? And yet, churches are battling this ill more and more to the point where believers are staying away. Yes, lack of sound doctrine plays a part – sometimes. But when narcissism begins to work its evil throughout a church, flowing primarily from controlling and unaccountable leadership, who is watching out for the sheep? What is a “form of godliness”? Why does Paul say to avoid such? What are the qualifications for pulpit ministry? Christians tend to be gracious and put up with a lot of mischief from leadership, as long as the doctrine is sound. But what does God think about those who mistreat His people? Let’s let the Word do the talking on this one, but talk about it we must. The gentiles lord it over others, but it should “not be so among you”. A challenging hour on an elephant-in-the-room topic. PDF transcription – click here.

Tim and Mary take on the news cycle this week by talking about the latest with Israel, Islam, the culture around us, and more. We talk about the death of the abortion pill inventor at 98; a Middle East roundup centered on Netanyahu’s visit with Trump this week; and a health watch segment. What is a corporate farm exactly, and why should we care whether we have happy contented cows? Lots of reasons, and we also look at RFK Jr’s take on health “wearables” – those devices that we are promised will make life easier if we are tracked 24 hours a day and our biometric markers are seen by whomever gets a hold of our data. What could possibly go wrong? Finally we look at Toyota’s “Woven City” – a smart city on steroids, that is either the crowning achievement of technocrats or the creepiest thing I have ever read about. Your call. Does it seem like it’s getting darker, earlier? A full hour of news and commentary.

Elijah Abraham: A Civilizational Shift

NOT Elijah Abraham

Mary welcomes back Elijah Abraham to catch up on his travels and discuss the “civilizational shift” that Islam is aiming for around the globe. Elijah has a pastors’ heart for the lost, and to communicate the dangers of the spread of Islam around the globe, including in the US. We will talk about his trips to various nations to spread the gospel and equip pastors to defend the faith. His ministry, Living Oasis, exists to make the most of every day and season to warn the church about the true intentions of Islam and the subjugation of all non-Muslims, or “infidels”. We talk about what’s currently going on in Texas and New York, as well as other areas of our nation. Why are officials seemingly turning a blind eye to the establishment of Islamic communities right under our noses? Will they lead to establishment of Sharia law then naturally? Is there any way to keep Islamic politicians from gaining positions of influence in our major cities? How can the church engage the local Muslim community and get to know them on a more personal level? A timely update from Elijah.

Heidi & Dave: What I Thought I Knew… and What I Know Now

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 07 Jul 2025 15:51:56 +0000

It’s a new episode of Stand Up For The Truth with host Dave Wager, featuring a heartfelt conversation with longtime friend and guest, Heidi. Heidi shares her journey of faith that began as a young camper at Silver Birch Ranch, where she first trusted Christ—and how that same faith is carrying her now through a cancer diagnosis. With honesty and warmth, she and Dave reflect on God’s provision in the midst of trials, drawing from Psalm 119:71: “My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.” This episode offers an encouraging reminder that even in hardship, God is not absent—He is teaching, refining, and holding us steady.

Listeners will hear personal stories of how Heidi and her family are walking through treatment with peace and purpose. From the faithfulness of God in hospital rooms to the small acts of love from her children at home, her testimony points to a deeper truth: suffering doesn’t define us—God does. If you’ve ever wondered how to trust God when life takes a hard turn, this conversation will meet you where you are and gently lift your eyes to the One who never lets go. No video podcast available today.

Dave Wager: God Bless America? The Forgotten Responsibility of a Blessed Nation

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 15:05:30 +0000

NEW PODCAST: On this special solo edition of Stand Up For The Truth, Dave Wager asks a loaded question many of us don’t stop to think through: What are we really asking when we sing “God Bless America”? This isn’t just about waving flags or reciting patriotic songs. Dave unpacks the biblical reality that blessing always comes with responsibility. Drawing from Psalm 33:12—“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord”—he challenges listeners to consider whether we’re seeking comfort or commissioning. Have we used our blessings to glorify God and serve others, or have we settled into comfort and forgotten the Giver?

From the roots of Irving Berlin’s famous song to the fiery furnace of Daniel 3, Dave walks us through what true loyalty looks like—loyalty to God first, even when national pride gets loud. Patriotism isn’t wrong, he says, as long as it doesn’t eclipse obedience to the Lord. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego didn’t start a rebellion, but they drew a clear line. The call is the same for us today: respect authority, pray for leaders, and live lives marked by godliness and dignity—but never bow to what contradicts God’s Word.

Headlines: When Worlds Collide – Islam Vs. Everyone

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 15:27:33 +0000

In today’s installment of headline news, Tim and Mary take a look at the continued quest by Islam to rule and reign, especially in the West. Immigration is only a part of the tale, because the end game is vast and if we didn’t have the peace of Christ, we might just be alarmed. But the world, the political factions, should be very afraid; perhaps the media is waking up to what is at stake. When Trump went after Iran, could anyone be so naive as to think there wouldn’t be ramifications beyond protecting Israel? Two sides of the same coin should tell us that Trump poked a hornet’s nest and Iran is going to show its fury at some point, the complexity of the Middle East should tell us that. Meanwhile, the NYC dem is under a vast microscope, being that he is a “twelver” – part of Islamic eschatological thought. Will America get Islamic politicians across the fruited plain? That’s what Islam is hoping for. Texas was just the beginning. We also discuss earth religion and more. Not as the world gives, the peace of Christ is beyond understanding.

David Bowen: Robotheism – Spirituality for the Age of Intelligence

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 01 Jul 2025 15:21:26 +0000

Mary welcomes back David Bowen to discuss the existential aspect of AI. Those who study the end times from the perspective of the human heart and the angst that biblical events will create probably already understood where this was going. Humans tend to gravitate toward something or someone to worship that preferably doesn’t include accountability to a just and holy creator God. They would rather have a spurious, arbitrary God than one that holds them accountable for their sin and the rejection of the One that represents our deepest need. One that has a beginning and an end so they can philosophize about how brilliant they themselves are. Worship of self, intellect, and general idolatry are the general categories of the Church of AI. Yet the Ai-theist knows full well that this is an impersonal, cold god of their own making. Interestingly enough, they have a catechism, creeds and practices. Since they borrow so heavily from Christianity it is difficult to take them seriously but that’s clearly not any of their concern. As we have seen, intelligence that is real has a creator, as does intelligence that is artificial, but both cannot possibly be a source for truth that is beyond the human intellect.

Scott Schara: Exposing the Medical Machine That Took My Daughter’s Life

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 16:25:53 +0000

In this emotional episode of Stand Up For The Truth, Crash Connell chats again with Scott Schara, father of #GraceSchara, a 19-year-old with #DownSyndrome who died in 2021 under what he calls “state-approved euthanasia” at a Wisconsin hospital. Scott walks through the shocking details of the recent #MedicalMalpractice trial—how the hospital administered lethal meds without proper #InformedConsent and placed a #DNR without family approval. Despite compelling testimony and expert witnesses, the jury sided with the defense after only 15 minutes. Scott believes this case exposed how deeply the #MedicalSystem is protected by a corrupt #LegalSystem.

Scott says the case was never about money—it was about #Justice, #Truth, and protecting others. He warns of a growing culture of #Collectivism in medicine, where convenience and cost are prioritized over individual life. He sees the verdict as part of a larger #SpiritualBattle and encourages believers to wake up and take responsibility for their own health. He continues to speak out at OurAmazingGrace.net, urging the remnant to stand firm, stay alert, and remember that #GodIsSovereign.

No video of today’s podcast (producer has the day off, above Crash’s pay grade).

Jim Fletcher: Keep Your Eye on the Ball

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 27 Jun 2025 15:20:11 +0000

Mary welcomes back Jim Fletcher to discuss the growing malevolent force of Jew hatred around the world, particularly in Europe. The walls are closing in on the Jewish people and the level of hate is astonishing. There seems no possibility of stemming the tide either, so since it will only increase, how late is it? What is the end game? We look at systemic antisemitism that is as old as time, so we should not be surprised but in the modern era, are we really unable to police the hate in the hearts of humans? Not in these times, is my conclusion. And unfortunately, it appears the church has taken their eye off the ball on this. We look at the seriousness of this and other observations about the current headlines regarding Israel. Jim is an Israel expert, regarding their history, their current state, the church, and what is to come. A sobering but essential talk on what is really going on around the world with God’s chosen people. His prophecy blog, “The God That Answers”, can be found on Patreon here.

Dr. JB Hixson

Mary welcomes back JB Hixson for our regularly scheduled visit talking about irregularly scheduled events. With such a short window to discuss the details each day, the goal is to stay as current as possible, with a focus on a God Who changes not. Today we discuss shape-shifting movements that represent fundamental transformations in many areas that our parents would have never conceived of. In one short generation, maybe 2 depending on the math, our world has become a very dangerous place filled with those who wish to plot the next course of humanity. The Technocrats have for many decades longed to rule the world, and as the tech infrastructure seems to show no signs of leveling out, AI is going to ultimately realize a civilizational shift in every area of life. We talk about the NAR crowd and their true colors when it comes to Israel. We also look at antisemitism, the future Ezekiel war, and much more.

Headlines: Big Beautiful Land Grabs and AI Military Contracts; Paging Jason Bourne

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 15:51:21 +0000

Tim and Mary Danielsen take on some headlines, hopefully before they self-destruct. Did you ever feel like you are in a fog of uncertainty because of constant media speculation? But sitting still and waiting for the headlines to come to us is just futile, and so we continue to dig and be amazed. Today we take on a land grab built into the Big Beautiful Bill. Western land is up for grabs – and more than likely designated already to big money green projects. America being what it is and has been, apart from the citified areas, we tend to think that the wide open parts should be left to the ranchers, coyote, hikers and cowpokes, but soon, depending on the outcome of this legislation, serious acreage could be handed over to renewable energy companies and foreign conglomerates. Also, we look at the Minnesota murders of State Representative Melissa Hortman, a Democrat and her husband, and injuring State Senator John A. Hoffman, also a Democrat, and his wife. Melissa Hortman was the highest-ranking Democrat in the Minnesota House. Why is this so bizarre, and will we ever be able to connect all the dots? We predict it will be looked at no further. We also explore whether or not other nations can turn around and supply Persia with nukes; EU censorship; and military contracts to use AI to fight our battles – turning suit types into occasional soldiers. Yeah, you can’t make this stuff up.

Mary welcomes back Alex Newman to chat about what everyone already knows: events in this world continue to highlight the traps of technology that can change day to day happenings into the stuff of dystopian nightmares. I think we all know that tech is neutral – but the potential for misuse and abuse in the hands of evil men is off the charts. Our phones already track us but we just pull the covers up over our ears and hope for rest. Truth is, we have every right to believe there are monsters under the bed who wish us harm, especially when we’re not being watchful. We also discuss the Deep State and the tentacles of the Federal Reserve. When the wealthiest in the world gathered at Jekyll Island, Georgia for many winters in the latter 19th and early 20th centuries, their goal was to build a banking cartel impervious to bank panics and bank runs. Long after they are dead and buried, the legacy lives on as the Federal Reserve continues to control and manipulate US finances. Where are we at with their influence today? Then we look at SEL in the schools, Social Emotional Learning – its occultic roots and how it’s making global citizens out of our youngsters. A fascinating hour with Alex.

Replay – Usama Dakdok: Lies in the Textbooks that are Destroying our Children’s Faith

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 15:00:09 +0000

[Original airdate: 10/5/23] Mary Danielsen talks to author, speaker and Islam expert Usama Dakdok about the lies in America’s textbooks. The war on our kids isn’t just related to gender and alternative lifestyles; we must remember that there is deep spiritual deception in the schools. If the bible is not truthful about Israel, the Land, the Book and her enemies then it’s not true about anything. He shows us that Islam is rotting us from the inside and the results may just be that our children may never open the Book ever again once they are grown. A timely expose of how our enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy.

Usama is the author of “The Generous Qu’ran”, the only truly accurate English translation of the Koran available. Other translations sanitize and sugarcoat the harsher tenets of this political movement disguised as a religion. With Americans having fought wars in Islamic states for decades now, it is valuable to understand what they believe.

Jonathan Brentner: A Lavish Feast – Proverbs and Prophecy

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 20 Jun 2025 15:24:09 +0000

Mary welcomes back author, speaker and blogger Jonathan Brentner whose latest book, “A Lavish Feast”, brings together Proverbs and prophecy, and the hope we have of the soon return of Christ for His church. Watching prophecy unfold is fascinating these days. Sometimes a foot is on the accelerator, and other times, we seem to be on “pause” as events play out. Meanwhile, it behooves the church to never stop studying the Bible – and not just prophecy passages, but God’s nature as well, and the over-arching view from 10,000 feet. How does God’s plan of the ages speak to us from outside of time, space, and matter? We seek wisdom about so many passages in Scripture, but do we seek wisdom about prophecy? God is a giver of wisdom, and liberally. He already has told us via Abraham in Genesis 18 that He does not judge the righteous with the wicked. So instead of pet doctrines and dangerous teachings such as Replacement Theology and Dominion Theology, why not ask God what HE thinks, and proceed according to His revealed Word? Where is the fear of the Lord in this area, and does anyone tremble at His Word (Isaiah 66)? A very insightful look at where wisdom and prophecy intersect in the heart of the Lord. It’s all about Jesus, not our pet interpretations.

Don Veinot: Your Worldview, Your Jesus, Your Eternity

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 19 Jun 2025 15:29:31 +0000

Mary welcomes back Don Veinot to talk about taming Jesus to fit a progressive worldview, false representations of Christian and Christianity, and what fills that void every human has. For the last few decades especially, the progressive left has not only sought to dominate the American political landscape, but has infiltrated the church – purposefully and methodically. From Red Letter Christians to Social Justice warriors, the church has been leaning left on a large scale. The church has been duped into rethinking gay rights, social causes and immigration; Israel is no longer the apple of God’s eye and that piece of land is now home to apartheid and genocidal Jews. How did we get here, and what are the dangers of such an unbiblical worldview? Does it impact our eternity? Yes, and people are making eternal choices over temporal issues, misrepresenting Jesus and His ministry. A thoughtful hour on the Jesus of the Left. Don Veinot and his wife Joy are co-founder and president of Midwest Christian Outreach, Inc. (MCOI), a mission to cults and non-Christian religions based in Wonder Lake, IL. They have studied numerous cults and new religious movements impacting the church since 1987. Don is a frequent guest on numerous radio and television broadcasts including The John Ankerberg Show as well as being a staff researcher and writer for the Midwest Christian Outreach Journal. Additionally, Don is co-author of the book A Matter of Basic Principles: Bill Gothard and His Cultish Teachings, as well as various research articles in the CRI Journal, PFO Quarterly Journal, Campus Life Magazine, Journal of the International Society of Christian Apologetics, Midwestern Journal of Theology, and other periodicals.

Headlines: Israel and America: The High Cost of Freedom

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 15:25:48 +0000

Tim and Mary take on the headlines after one of the most intense weeks on earth from a prophetic view. What Israel and America represent is freedom, and everyone knows it. That’s why the enemy of our souls is working overtime to overthrow each one, and what they represent: the Jews, and their torch of Scripture and gift of the Messiah; and the US, representing so many tribes and tongues – and the freedom that faith in Christ represents in a land of tens of thousands of churches that lift up His Name. There is one common denominator in so much world chaos: 1) Rid the world of Jews, and 2) Rid the world of Christianity. All the anarchy is progressive, socialist, and global. Here we have a president who is trying his level best to hold it back, but at a great cost. The result, if they succeed, is to rob us all of our freedoms and our light. Israel is doing momentous things right now, like protecting the West from terror in many forms. Americans are marching and demanding to be free. What’s wrong with this picture? We talk today about Israel, No Kings madness, and various things that point to the lateness of the hour. Get your rapture shoes shined up.

Andy Woods: Summer of Love 2.0 – Riots, Reciprocity, International Relations

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 15:26:28 +0000

Mary welcomes back pastor and Bible scholar Andy Woods to look at what we saw, and what we may have missed, in the last week. Israel and Iran went at it and it won’t be over till it’s over. Which is as it should be, but will Trump insist on taking it to the talk table before Israel has really made the world safe from the largest exporter of terrorism? So much to look at there. We also look at politics, American style, when it comes to the waste of time that was No Kings Saturday. Sometimes we wonder if the Left has thought this through, trying to rid the country of Trump. What exactly do they think would happen if he is gone, are they hoping to simply install their favorite progressive the next day? The lack of civics knowledge will come home to haunt them. We also look at Gog and Magog; the Mark of the Beast tech, and the media mentality, which is generally one of lies and half-truths again. Still. A great hour with a gifted teacher and prophecy watcher. His Pastors Point of View on YouTube is a great way to keep up with the times.

Don Shire & Mike Dawson: From Orphan Care to Tribal Evangelism

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 16:13:11 +0000

In this powerful episode of Stand Up for the Truth, host Dave Wager welcomes long-time friends and global missionaries Don Shire and Mike Dawson. The conversation centers around Matthew 24:14 and the call to proclaim the gospel to all nations. Mike shares updates from deep in the Amazon rainforest, where he and his teams are discovering hundreds of previously unreached Yanomami villages—many who have never heard the name of Jesus. He explains how they use solar-powered audio Bibles and gospel films like The Passion of the Christ to reach remote tribes, often traveling for days by boat and foot. Dave reflects on the impact of simply showing up for missionaries in the field and how those personal connections can open doors for the gospel in remarkable ways.

Don shares stories of his trumpet ministry opening unexpected doors in over 38 countries, including recent work with refugees in Ukraine and orphanages in Haiti and India. What started as a music ministry has grown into a global effort to care for widows, orphans, and the unreached—often in dangerous or politically unstable regions. He and Mike both emphasize that God often uses unlikely people in unexpected ways, encouraging listeners to be willing, available, and open to the burdens God places on their hearts. Through faith, obedience, and divine appointments, their ministries continue to grow, serving as a reminder that God’s plans are far greater than our own qualifications or limitations.

Dr. David Reagan: Israel, Iran and the Left – The Counter Punch

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 15:20:44 +0000

Mary welcomes Dr. David Reagan for the first time to SUFTT. David founded Lamb & Lion Ministries on April 1, 1980 and they are celebrating 45 years of building up and edifying the body of Christ, urging us all to be watchful, prayerful, and joyful in Christ. Dr. Reagan is a native Texan, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Texas in Austin. His graduate degrees were earned in the field of International Relations from the Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy of Tufts and Harvard Universities. Before entering the ministry, he had an extensive career in higher education. David is a life-long Bible student, teacher, and preacher. He entered the full-time ministry in 1976 when he was called to serve as the pulpit minister for a church in Irving, Texas. He has written over 20 books and has contributed to many others. Today we talk about the rising perilous tide all around us, starting with Israel’s brilliant attack on Iran. Then we discuss whether socialism is our expected national doom, as the left ratchets up every cause they can dream of, including antisemitism – an offense to a holy God. Lawlessness and violence threaten to spill over to any community on any day as the left uses whatever crisis suits them to foment trouble. Never mind that they themselves are lawless at heart, when the president tries to establish law and order, and it is vilified, we know just how far the violence has permeated our fragile sense of society. We also talk about the national marches planned for Saturday as it is Trump’s 79th birthday and the 250th anniversary of our Army. The No Kings Movement is gaining steam from the left and could change the face of our nation yet again. What could happen next on this fragile planet is anyone’s guess.

Julaine Appling: Life and Liberty – God’s Design

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 15:20:24 +0000

Mary welcomes back Julaine Appling for a look at the culture from several angles. One of the best culture warriors out there, Julaine’s faith and trust in Christ always shines through as she looks over the moral issues of the day in Wisconsin and across the fruited plain. Julaine helps us stay on top of the issues so that we can know how to vote and what issues take precedence in our worldview watch. Today we look at the March for Life that will take place in Madison, Wisconsin on June 14. The fight for life will not end in our lifetimes, but there are ways we can stand firm for biblical truth on this one. We take a look at a new resolution to revoke Wisconsin’s constitutional amendment on marriage. The author of the bill hails it as a reversal of previous discriminatory language that “fuels hate”. Of course anyone who affirms God’s one-man-one-woman plan for marriage knows this is progressive mumbo jumbo that discriminates against the truth. We discuss Wisconsin’s voucher plan changes and much more as we look at life, liberty and God’s revealed plan for how a moral society functions best.

Headlines: Persona Non Greta, Rogue and Radical Iran, O Canada

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 15:24:21 +0000

Tim and Mary take on the week’s roundup with a variety of Kodak moments. Greta Thunberg with her 14 million+ social media fans showed once again how little she understands geopolitical events. It is difficult to understand her symbolism-over-substance approach to world events but being such a tender age, the grownups know she is over her head on all of it. We take a look at her latest cause. Canada is in the news, and not in a good way as they combine with the UK and France to issue yet another ignorant statement on what they think Israel should be doing and why. Iran is in the news again, and after at least 15 years the world is still grappling with the nuclear potential of that rogue, radical state. Tim sheds some light on that topic. We also look at the top 10 reasons why your money doesn’t stretch anymore – more month left at the end of the money – and what might be next. Health watch, tech watch – all sorts of various and sundry topics this June day. Watch therefore.

Olivier Melnick: Normalizing the Oldest Hatred

comments@standupforthetruth.com (Stand Up For The Truth) — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 15:23:30 +0000

Mary welcomes back Olivier Melnick to discuss the new normal: antisemitism. He is a Jewish believer in Jesus from France, the son of Holocaust survivors, whose maternal grandfather was killed by the Nazis. Olivier is an internationally known speaker on antisemitism. He holds a BA from Moody Bible Institute and a masters from Dallas Theological Seminary, and has been equipping believers to understand and fight antisemitism since 2000. The ramping up of antisemitism is a complete surprise to some, it’s not that long ago that they were the target of genocide during WW2, and if anyone alive has a parent who fought in that war, the connection is still strong. So why now? How are things different? Today we talk about the stages of normalization from his book, “The Normalization of Antisemitism”. World leaders are not so subtly being drawn into this hate as the world turns their back on Israel. Words matter. Words turn to violence. Even our neighbor to the north is being drawn in. Israel can do nothing right, so they might as well do what they are going to do to stave off the end of the west through violence, immigration, and Islam.
