Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

Chris Quintana is back with Mary to talk about Hamas, Islam, and those who apologize in public for both. Having rejected Israel in every form, where does that leave us in this polarized world? It leaves Christians who have no biblical understanding of the importance of Israel and how her very existence proves a God Who knows the future AND keeps His Word. With celebrities dictating and influencing what others believe about such things at an alarming level, we have poster children Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens taking ignorant and outrageous anti-semitic stances, which colors their view on most everything else. Does it also discredit them?  We talk about their influence and why anyone should be surprised by this. We also discuss Hamas and the notion of Israel being guilty of genocide, another ignorant and hateful stance. Finally, what in the world is going on in Texas? Islam is spreading like a July brushfire and local governments look the other way. We get Chris’ take on why this is so in his own backyard. A full hour with a very articulate pastor/teacher/apologist.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Tim and Mary Danielsen dive into headlines once again, if only to prove we are not robots but real humans. Is everyone sick of trying to prove they are flesh and blood? Or hoping that the pictures you click on will pass the test? This system is actually called CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing Test to tell Computers and Humans Apart). It is a computing test to determine if the user is human. It is sometimes called the reverse Turing test, as the point is to prove humanity rather than artificial intelligence. I for one believe that the burden of proof is on the Artificial Lifeform to come forth and identify themselves. Today we talk about that alternate reality that is the internet. Patrick Wood has for some time now said that reality barely exists anyway, so we will look at what that means. We also look at Canadian elections; the Pope as Muslim apologist; an update on the Temple Mount; catastrophic AI; Facial Recognition perils; and the need to find HOPE in all of it. After all, our hope isn’t in prophetic fulfillment, it is in a person – the Lord Jesus Christ, Lord of all. A full hour regarding life on planet earth in April 2025.

Oliver Zornow joins Mary live in the studio for a conversation on Haiti. Oliver is fresh from his win for a seat on the Appleton School Board. We talk local politics and American schools. And yet his greatest work is in poverty and violence stricken Haiti, where any child would love to get a solid Christian education and rise above their circumstances to have some way to contribute to the world at large, even if it’s to make their own country a bit better. Haiti has a complex history, one of slavery, overthrow, corruption, and natural disasters. The International community hasn’t been much help all in all, but is it time to step in? Violence and gang warfare has made that nation nearly uninhabitable yet God is at work.Oliver is a husband and father of two elementary school students and a local nonprofit leader in the Fox Cities. He is active in educational issues locally and around the world. He is a co-founder of the Caneille Regional Development Fund (CRDF). CRDF was the result of a high school project where Oliver built a partnership with a local church in Caneille, Haiti to found The School of Grace of Caneille. Through support from individuals, churches, and organizations around the globe, the School of Grace has provided life changing, tuition-free primary education to thousands of students in this rural region over the last two decades. More information on how the work and how to support it can be found here.  Pray for the pastors in Haiti, including Calvary Chapel Caneille under the courageous and godly leadership of Huguener Bastia. You can support him here.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

In today’s episode of Stand Up For The Truth, host Dave Wager welcomes Dr. Harry Elward, CEO and founder of Health Guardian. Dr. Elward is a naturopathic doctor, master herbalist, and certified nutritional counselor with a PhD in Health & Nutrition. Together, they explore the urgent need for restoring wellness in the church—not just spiritual health, but physical well-being rooted in biblical wisdom, natural remedies, and nutritional truth. Dave opens with 1 Corinthians 10:31, reminding listeners to glorify God even in the choices we make about food and drink. Dr. Elward shares alarming health stats and confronts the over-medication crisis in America, calling out the pharmaceutical industry’s profit-driven model and pointing believers back to God’s original design for healing and wholeness. As the conversation deepens, Dr. Elward introduces the breakthrough science behind nitric oxide and how a simple amino acid—L-arginine—can naturally restore cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation, and even reverse arterial damage. He discusses the power of lifestyle changes, the dangers of seed oils and processed foods, and why natural supplementation is essential in today’s depleted food supply. Listeners also hear personal testimonies and practical tips, including daily recommendations to boost immunity and heart health. This is a powerful and challenging conversation about reclaiming responsibility for our health and honoring the Creator with our bodies.

Mary welcomes new guest Todd Hampson as we discuss the building blocks of Bible prophecy. Undertaking a systematic study of such a broad subject can be daunting, unless a few things are kept in mind, which will in turn make everything fall into place! Definitions, definitions, definitions! What is amillennialism? What is the church age? Why is the pre-trib rapture the most solid from a biblical standpoint – types and pictures are found in the Scriptures. What was Jesus saying to the 7 churches? If we interpret prophecy from a futurist perspective, it really weaves together beautifully, but if the approach is one of past fulfillment of Revelation, we hit numerous snags that proponents of these alt views never seem to be able to resolve. A great primer on the basics this morning. Todd is a speaker, illustrator, animation producer, and the author of The Non-Prophet’s Guide™ book series. He is also a co-host on the Prophecy Pros Podcast alongside Jeff Kinley. Todd’s award-winning animation company, Timbuktoons, has produced content for many well-known ministry organizations. You can find his book resources here.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

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

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

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
