Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

Mary welcomes Jeff Kinley, a former pastor and best-selling author of 40 books. He is a recognized expert and thought leader in the field of Bible Prophecy, having authored 12 books on the subject. Jeff connects with this generation, engaging them with biblical truth in a fresh, practical way. His weekly podcasts - The Vintage Truth Podcast and The Prophecy Pros Podcast (with Todd Hampson) are heard in over 120 countries. This Podcast now has over 1,000,000 downloads and ranks in the Top 1% of all podcasts in America. Jeff and Todd take the Prophecy Pros conferences on the road to many communities, and through Prophecy Pros Academy, offer the student a tremendous theological foundation in a 3 year period of time. Today we look at the God Who rewards those who diligently seek Him by discussing Jesus Himself - and how no one in history can make any single claim that He can. Once we determine Who He is, then we can decide if Bible prophecy is even worth our time, and what it means for every single person who ever lived on earth. Jeff's books include such titles as, "The End of the World According to Jesus", "As it Was in the Days of Noah", and "God's Grand Finale". These titles and more can be found here.

Tim and Mary Danielsen take apart some current headlines today, further cementing the notion that our worldview matters when it comes to discerning the times. First up, we look at the UN and their age-old longing to tax the life out of all of us and call it a world government. It takes money to run the world, and they intend to fund it to the hilt. Next we look at the topic of the Third Temple, and those who want to take it by force - vs those who simply know with confidence that it will be in God's timing. A recent video circulating has the Arab world a bit upset, we will talk about that. Also on the agenda, the IMF is having a confab, they and the World Bank are also longing for complete control. We discuss the latest nonsense from Christianity Today magazine, a long time rag that seems more and more confused as to what "Christianity" actually is. They might just go the way of the iconic Christian bookstore before long. We summarize the late pope's beliefs; the Days of Lot; and stories the media is ignoring.

Mary welcomes back Stand Up favorite Gary Kah to talk about ongoing world events in this first half of 2025. More importantly, are we praying and taking these events to the Lord, knowing He has it all in hand and yet understanding how important intercession is to protect and defend what we have been given? With this unique perspective, we look at both domestic and foreign issues, such as the US economy, Europe, Israel and much more. We often look at prophecy and ask "how late is it?" - but to God, Who is outside of time, the hour isn't as important as seeking His face, His will, His direction. Gary has been warning us about globalism way before anyone else, and while the wheels grind rather slowly in our lifetimes, here we are and still observing the push-and-pull between nationalism and globalism - and knowing that The Restrainer is at work until such a time that the scales tip toward the kingdom of Antichrist.

Dr. JB Hixson Mary welcomes back JB Hixson on this Good Friday to talk about the importance of clinging to the cross in living out our day to day faith. When Jesus gave up His spirit, the veil in the temple was torn in two. This was no window curtain, it was at least 60 feet high and 4" thick - and separated the common area of the Temple from the Holy of Holies accessible only by the High Priest. The symbolism is simple: through the rending of the flesh of our Saviour, we now have access by grace to God through Jesus. What a glorious truth. This also means that we can not rely on ritual, tradition, or works to draw near to God, we are now bondsmen of Christ. So, once we understand that, what would the life of the believer look like? What should the church look like not just in our day to day service to God but corporately? Has the church become distracted by far too many bells, whistles, and sound systems? Are we still connected to the Head? The daily life of confession, repentance, cleansing and faith, minus any righteousness of our own is truly the only way to the fruitful Christian life. Circumcision of the heart. Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Mary welcomes back David Bowen to talk about the Road to Emmaus, that beautiful account that took place the afternoon of Resurrection Sunday. There are 89 verses about Holy Week in the Gospels, nearly a third. It's almost as though everything else in the gospels is merely an introduction to the main event! We will look at those 2 disciples, returning home after a grueling week in Jerusalem of crowds and events - Passover, the trial of Jesus, the crucifixion, the resurrection. What to make of it all? What a weekend - and now they are processing as they walk along. Then a stranger joins them, and asks why they are cast down and sad as they walk, and they respond incredulously - where were You when all this took place? Are you unaware of what has all transpired? And without recognizing their Saviour, they are treated to the most incredible Bible study ever, from the Master Himself. Wouldn't it have been incredible to be a part of that? Then we go back in time a bit and discuss Palm Sunday, and the most amazing prophecy of all - Daniel 9. Finally, we look at why Jesus had to be crucified instead of stoned. A full hour of Holy Week insights with David. Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Tim and Mary discuss the newsworthy items of the day, at least from a media point of view. It's always been a bit of a grab bag because there are always things going on behind the scenes that don't seem to warrant further inspection by those who curate our news. At least in the days of constant feeds, some of them leak out. Today we look at the Iran talks, and try to parse out who the players are. Antisemitism continues on in public events, in this case, an event at Princeton. Who will ensure that someone is accountable for this latest mess? There wasn't even a school ID necessary, probably because that leaves the door open for paid actors to come in and rile everyone up. Also on the agenda: China rare earth elements, and why the US has to care about that; and the latest on Smart Cities for Dummies. What the globalists think is important; ie, what they can get away with, never ceases to amaze. One has to wonder what globalists like Klaus Schwab think of Islam because they might get overridden by that global agenda. Interesting times indeed.

Mary welcomes back historian William Federer to talk about the unthinkable: the encroachment of Islam in America - in alarming ways. In 2006, Keith Ellison became the first Muslim elected to Congress. He swore his oath on the Qua'ran. Today in Texas, two Islamic lawmakers are leading the Pakistainification of the Lone Star State. How Islam is affecting our world here in 2025 is every bit as important as it was back in the 7th century. Cities like Pflugerville, Plano, and Sugarland Texas are finding out just how the idea that Islam is just another religion that should be tolerated is so dangerous. The flag of Islamic dominance is being planted in our nation and who is sounding the alarm? The cost of our silence, starting at the ballot box, is going up by the hour. William Federer is a nationally known speaker, best-selling author, and president of Amerisearch, Inc., a publishing company dedicated to researching America's heritage.His AMERICAN MINUTE radio feature is broadcast daily across America and by the Internet. His Faith in History television airs on the TCT Network on stations across America. You can find his many resources here. You can also sign up to receive American Minute in your email box.

In this solo NEW episode of Stand Up for the Truth, guest host Dave Wager turns our focus to the timeless wisdom of Psalm 37. Dave walks through the full chapter, emphasizing five clear alternatives to worry: trust in the Lord, delight in Him, commit your actions to Him, be still in His presence, and turn from anger. Drawing from both Scripture and personal experiences, Dave explains how these practices offer practical hope in a culture plagued with anxiety and fear. Psalm 37 reminds us that fretting over the wicked is as useless as rubbing sandpaper on wood until there’s nothing left—worry only wears us out. God, not our emotions or circumstances, is our fortress in times of trouble. Dave also reflects on how God’s justice and care contrast with the empty promises of the world. While evil may flourish temporarily, the wicked will fade like grass—but those who know and trust God will endure, and their steps will be guided by Him. Through illustrations ranging from college conversations to a powerful childhood memory of his father standing up to injustice, Dave encourages believers to live lives marked by righteousness, generosity, and peace. If you’re feeling worn down by life’s chaos, this episode invites you to rest in God’s truth, re-frame your focus, and remember who truly holds the future.

Mary chats with Q90's very own Terra Koslowski on human trafficking, the trading in humans by those who themselves are slaves to human lust and greed. Whereas as a culture, we lived according to the maxim of loving people and using things, the trafficking and porn industry survives by using humans and loving things. Terra has been a committed educator, advocate, and trainer in the fight against human trafficking for over 20 years. In 2010, Terra founded “Stop the Traffick: Make Some Noise,” an annual Human Trafficking Awareness Day Rally in her hometown of Oshkosh, WI, which inspired similar events in surrounding cities. She has played a key role in the establishment of Damascus Road Project, a faith-based non-profit organization located in Oshkosh, WI since it began in 2009 and currently serves as the Education and Engagement Director teaching and training the community about human trafficking awareness and how to get involved. She also shares the morning show mic with Crash from 6-9am Monday - Friday. With the NFL Draft coming up in Green Bay in 2 weeks, the flow of fans, tourists and sex trade opportunists will far surpass the population of Green Bay. What is trafficking? What are some of the myths? How do people get "drafted" into it? Parents, the statistics on how your children are targeted are very sobering. Get involved! We tell you how.

Today 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.

On today's program, Tim and Mary Danielsen look at a handful of the signs, or indicators, that we are in those days of the labor pains on earth. When Jesus spoke of the signs in the earth, He said to watch for natural signs as the "beginning of labor pains". I guess the one thing we all want to know of course, is, how close are we - when do things point to the middle of pains? When it comes to watching on the part of the church, it seems they are looking for more drama because the majority are NOT watching, as if these things are just normal -- "all things continue as they have been" is the general thinking. In light of that, we take a look at the crazy weather this Spring as we perceive creation groaning, or is it rather, raging? Then we look at a random selection, or snapshot of the day: DEI gone wicked in Colorado; hypocrisy and Hamas both home and abroad. Those who watch tend to murmur that it's difficult to keep up, but there are some significant subjects that always warrant our inspection and attention: Israel, a global money system, a world government, and a global religion. The apostasy of the church is also a vast subject not for the faint of heart. A full hour of news and commentary.

Mary welcomes Avery Foley from Answers in Genesis 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.

Mary chats with Pastor Andy Woods of Sugarland Bible Church about some fascinating topics on the radar for believers. First we discuss Trump's energetic agenda to pull the plug on Columbia's massive federal aid package, and the courage it takes to tell them "no more!" when it comes to their antisemitic agenda. Will other institutions of higher learning feel the pinch on that as well? Then we talk about the questionnaires Trump is sending out to the UN to force the humanitarian agencies to disclose any ties to communist organizations. We ask ourselves, why do these things take so long to be implemented, when we see the scope of corruption. Also: activist judges who openly oppose the president's agenda, acting as if they have the same power he does. What exactly is a district court? The answer will surprise you. Then there's the Temple Mount, a fascinating subject for believers who see in prophecy a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem - but are still waiting to see how it might come about; more on those Russian horsemen mentioned in Ezekiel 38; Islamisizing America. Always a great hour with a great student of the times. Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Mary welcomes back Creation Scientist/Apologist Russ Miller to talk about a variety of topics. What is science? And is there a difference between true science and Darwinian conjecture? Those who worship at the altar of man's knowledge are becoming more and more vocal toward Christians who say that without God there IS no science; and yet they believe that Christianity is merely blind faith. Many great men of faith throughout the centuries were those who made the greatest discoveries to benefit mankind - and they knew that science WAS designed by God. Copernicus, Galileo, Mendel, Faraday, Kepler - all these men discovered great scientific principles that the world leans on today, and yet few know they were believers. We also discuss micro vs macro evolution, and operational verses historical science. And what about our kids? We have been told for many years they are leaving the church in droves, we probably can pinpoint the why, but - isn't anyone heeding the warnings? Parents, Pastors? Why does this remain so? Russ is a man who loves his calling and it always shows, a delightful hour with a premier Creation apologist.

Tim and Mary Danielsen take on some headlines as we go around the world in 55 minutes. We update the listener on the Wisconsin election and what that means for the nation. Then we talk about the populist movement in Europe that has the attention of Trump and Musk. Regarding Europe, Daniel 2 contains one of the most interesting prophecies of all time - a large metallic man representing the significant kingdoms of the world leading up to the return of Christ. Now, who wouldn't want to know such things? But what do they mean for 21st century citizens? We look at those 10 toes. Another topic is Iran, that scoundrel nation that is the number one producer and exporter of terrorism in the world. Trump is having none of their nuke program and of course he says the quiet part out loud and lets them know he expects cooperation. Then we look at the church vs the culture, and apply things Scripturally. A full hour.

PASTOR CLAUDE STAUFFER Mary welcomes back Pastor Claude Stauffer of Calvary Chapel Amityville, NY to talk about his latest book, "Your Greatest Patriotic Duty". Our discussion covers a variety of topics from voting, to political polarization, to evangelism to revival. Christians often disengage from the election process, stating that the lesser of two evils in candidates is no choice at all. When it comes to matters of conscience, Christians vary widely and voting is probably at the top of their list. But even when it comes to thankfulness for our relatively free and peaceful lives, Christians ought to engage in the process. The issues are important, from pro-life to being able to share the gospel freely. We also talk about revival. What is it? Does the Bible teach or prophesy about it? How might it look today, in a church that is more engaged in deception, pride and false teaching than it is engaged in evangelism. A thoughtful hour. Pastor Claude 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 serves as a chaplain on the New York State Chaplaincy Task Force. His latest work is “Your Greatest Patriotic Duty”, his 30th book.

In this episode of Stand Up For The Truth, host Dave Wager welcomes Ivy Bledsoe, an equine-assisted learning facilitator working with North Star Equine Assisted Learning in Langlade County, Wisconsin. Ivy shares how her work with horses helps children and adults develop relational and emotional skills by connecting with God’s creation. The conversation explores the symbolic and spiritual significance of horses, drawing parallels between how horses guide and how God guides us, referencing Isaiah 30:21: “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’” Dave and Ivy reflect on how horses teach patience, trust, and obedience—mirroring the way God patiently leads us through life. Throughout the podcast, Ivy shares her personal journey from being a high-achieving but struggling student to finding healing and connection through working with horses. She explains the difference between equine-assisted learning and traditional therapy, emphasizing that her program focuses on present growth and building healthy life skills through hands-on interaction with horses. The program is designed to be accessible and adaptable for individuals, families, and even school groups—whether they’re new to horses or seasoned riders. Ivy and Dave encourage parents, educators, and ministry leaders to recognize and nurture the unique passions of young people and to consider alternative, nature-based learning environments as a powerful tool for relational and spiritual development.

Mary welcomes back apologist J. Warner Wallace with the release of his latest book, "Case Files: Murder and Meaning". He and his son Jimmy have written a graphic novel for young adults that is a feast for the eyes, yet explores the deeper questions that shape our lives. J. Warner Wallace is a Dateline featured cold-case homicide detective, popular national speaker and best-selling author. He continues to consult on cold-case investigations while serving as a Senior Fellow at the Colson Center for Christian Worldview. How does this unique format, in the fiction genre, lend itself to the message of the gospel? We'll hear from the "Evidence Whisperer" himself about how it came about, who illustrated it, and will there be a sequel? Then we discuss evangelism and the close link to apologetics and the importance of having an evidence-based faith. Looking back at 10+ years since "Cold Case Christianity" was released, we look at the basics of knowing what we know and why it is so important to provide proof of the hope that is in us. A great hour with one of the best apologists of our day. His books can be found here.

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.

Today on SUFTT, for the first half hour, we welcome pro-life lobbyist Sue Liebel from Susan B Anthony Pro Life America. We will be looking at the April 1 election in Wisconsin and it's wide-ranging affect on all the states, due to the contest between conservative Brad Schimel and pro-abortion candidate Susan Crawford. Back in 2023, the state judiciary veered left with the defeat of conservative Daniel Kelly. This election as well, no less important for the complexion of the Wisconsin court, will be closely watched by all the states largely due to the pro-life issue. Sue will expound on the significance of it and Wisconsin's current abortion status. In the 2nd half today, we look at some headlines regarding Israel, and also the latest series from Amazon entitled, "House of David". It is faithful biblically, is it stuck in the woke spin cycle, or is it just so much fiction aka The Chosen? I would say at this point, if you plan to watch it, have eyes wide open. All this and more in this installment of Stand Up for the Truth. Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A
