Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

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. 20% DISCOUNT – Book Link: https://www.proclaimingthegospel.org/page/store#!/Contending-for-the-Gospel/p/141870007   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
