Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

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.

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.

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.

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

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).

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.

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.

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

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.

[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.
