Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

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.

Mary welcomes back Andy Woods, Pastor of Sugar Land Bible Church and president of Chafer Theological Seminary, known for his insightful biblical teachings. They dive into the dangers of global climate conferences, discussing how they threaten national sovereignty. Andy highlights the eroding Judeo-Christian culture in America, driven by immigration and rising ideologies. He also shares prophetic insights on recent geopolitical shifts, the implications of a new Hindu statue in Texas, and reflects on the spiritual consequences facing American society.

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?

In this engaging discussion, Mary dives into the concept of value, contrasting inflation's impact on our perceptions with the eternal worth of the gospel. She highlights the treasures we pass on, questioning which legacies truly matter. Mary emphasizes the importance of guarding sound doctrine for future generations and addresses the subtle threats that can dilute the church’s message. Reflecting on the sacrifices of past martyrs, she challenges listeners to assess their own convictions and the hills they choose to stand on.

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.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

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.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

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”.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

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.

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.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

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.     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A
