Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

Mary looks at some headlines and Scriptures to usher in Christmas 2024. For those who may not know much about the Bible but grew up on "A Charlie Brown Christmas",  the first half of Luke 2 with it's Caesars, angels, shepherds, parents and baby is at least a little familiar. But what about the 2nd half of that chapter? There is a wonderful lesson tucked in there that last days watchers will appreciate. We also look at the biggest story of 2024, Israel, by the numbers. God is blessing the world through Israel but does anyone take notice? The consolation of Israel is something the prophets longed for; how much more should the church be looking forward to that, via the many unfulfilled prophecies regarding the future tribulation, 2nd coming, and millennium. We also take a look at technology and the big picture on the exponential increase over the last 100 years. Sending 2024 off today, and looking forward to what God has for us in 2025.     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to close our guests for 2024. The future: everyone prepares for it to some degree, on a personal, temporal level at least. But what about an eternal level? The most important thing someone can do is acknowledge they have an eternal future and prepare for it. Yet so few do. We talk about the importance of prophecy to God, how He has made a way for us to spend eternity with Him, and no amount of existentialism or atheistic soul comfort can change that. We also look at transhumanism and its end game, giving death the slip in favor of living forever contained in the confines of AI, unregenerated and lost forever. Not the kind of utopia anyone should want, but that's deception on a grand scale. But the Bible is trustworthy about all the things that matter most to everyone who ever lived. We take a look at some really pivotal passages in the early ministry of Jesus, and a short list of the mountain peaks of prophecy.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Mary welcomes back David Bowen of Lamb and Lion Ministries to put 2024 in the rear view mirror. While any significant event carries over to the future, putting them in their proper historical place helps us see the big picture. Top headlines of the year, interestingly enough, mostly revolve around Israel, which is prophetic in itself. While the Gentile nations did a lot of voting and maneuvering, it remains to be seen the significance of over 50 elections in Spring of this year. Of course, the big news for the US was mandated election of Donald Trump. We all thought this year had the potential to be filled with surprises, none were more so than November 5. We will also cover various headlines of interest to the church. What will 2025 bring? Time marches on. Jesus is coming, regardless of the headlines or American electoral colleges. And since 2024 isn't over quite yet, who knows what is to come?   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

A rare Wednesday NEW PODCAST with Crash Connell, featured an engaging and insightful conversation with Pastor Kevin Minske, lead pastor of Christ the Rock Church in De Pere, Wisconsin. With just a week to go before Christmas, Pastor Kevin opened the broadcast with scripture from Romans 1 and a heartfelt prayer, setting the stage for a meaningful discussion. The podcast dove into deep theological topics, addressing some of the most common questions and challenges posed by skeptics. Pastor Kevin shared his perspective on issues such as the existence of evil, moral progress, and the perceived contradictions in the Bible, grounding his answers in scripture and a profound understanding of God’s unchanging nature. Kevin emphasized that apologetics is not about winning debates but about glorifying God and pointing others to the hope found in Jesus Christ. For those wanting to hear more, Christ the Rock Church streams services live every Sunday at 8 a.m. Central Time at ChristTheRockChurch.org, with his teaching series also airing Sundays at 11 a.m. on Q90FM. Here's the link to Pastor Kevin's testimony https://christtherockchurch.org/pastor-kevin-minske-testimony/     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Mary chats with theologian, author and speaker Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum. He is one of the foremost authorities on the nation of Israel. He received his BA from Cedarville University, and his Masters of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary.The completion of his dissertation, Israelology: The Missing Link in Systematic Theology, was the culmination of 13 years of research for which he earned his Ph.D. at New York University in 1989. He has done graduate work studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary in NY and Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is the founder and director of Ariel Ministries, which is dedicated to evangelism of Jewish people and discipleship of Jewish and Gentile believers from a messianic Jewish frame of reference. His testimony as a Messianic Jew goes back to the 1940s when his parents were driven from their home in Poland, ending up eventually in the US after the war. A full version of his conversion is found here. Today we discuss his story as well as the biblical teaching that all of Israel shall be saved. Gentiles often have questions about this very subject because today's churches are not clear on this issue, citing that since Israel is gathered in unbelief since 1948,  today's Israel has no prophetic significance. Dr. Fruchtenbaum's teaching on the 5 covenants of Israel and who exactly is in the land clears this up. Dr. Fruchtenbaum has a pre-trib, pre-millennial, dispensational perspective; his teachings help the Gentiles understand the Jewishness of the entire Bible. All of his incredible resources are found here.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Gary Kah joins Mary Danielsen (original airedate: 12/15/23) as we discuss his insights on Israel and globalism. Gary was talking about globalism long before most of us and has unique insights. He is a sought after speaker and has been faithfully watching the clock since the early 1990s.  Also, what does it really mean to stand with Israel and of course, don't look to the UN or the US at this point. This open ended war may indicate it's later than we think, on God's timeclock at least. Stay awake!

Mary chats with Patricia Engler today from Answers in Genesis.  She is an apologetics speaker, author, and podcast host for AiG.  After 12 years of homeschool and a bachelor of science degree, she backpacked around the world in 180 days documenting how Christian students keep their faith at university. The top takeaways from this research are available in Patricia’s book, Prepare to Thrive: A Survival Guide for Christian Students. Patricia joined AiG–Canada as a speaker, writer, and youth outreach coordinator before transferring to AiG–US in 2022. The same year, she also embarked on a second backpacking journey, this time to research Marxism’s history and consequences in Europe. Both backpacking trips formed the basis for separate teaching series available on Patricia’s blog. Today we discuss that 2nd journey, and how Marxism goes against God's Word and over time leads to totalitarian regimes. Patricia gives us some context for the worldview issues, and the spiritual roots of this humanist religion. How should Christians respond? A thoughtful hour in our daily battle of worldviews. Her latest book, "Modern Marxism: A Guide for Christians in a Woke New World" can be found here.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Mary welcomes back Carl Kerby of Reasons for Hope Ministries, an apologetics ministry that covers many different areas and ways to contend for the faith. In these days of moral ambiguity and outright amorality, the porn industry is one of the most insidious, soul trashing industries under the sun. Statistics regarding the popularity of this pursuit are stunning, having increased tremendously over just the last few years. It is estimated that 28,258 users watch porn every second and 35% of all internet downloads are related to porn;  64% of the 18-24 demographic seek it out on a weekly basis. When you add human trafficking as a supplier, there is clearly no lack of demand and it may never go the other direction. We chat about what families can do to keep it far from their homes and thus honor God in this matter as we are commanded. In the 2nd half, we will talk about a book series from Reasons for Hope that are certainly family friendly and edifying, their "Fascinating Facts" series, and how they would make a great Christmas gift. Homeschooling has enjoyed a wonderful renaissance due to Covid, and ministries have truly stepped up with great resources, Reasons for Hope is no exception.

[Original airdate: 12/7/23] Mary Danielsen talks with prophecy expert and author Terry James, founder of Rapture Ready ministry. Terry has been coming alongside the church for decades to encourage and exhort believers to look upward, and now more than ever. His soon-to-be-released book, "Nearing Midnight: As it Was in the Days of Lot" helps the reader understand what is the significance of believing that the church's work on earth is winding to a close. We talk about cultural insanity, evil men and seducers, and why these times are so perilous for the awake, the woke, and the slumbering denier. "Rapture Ready" is a great resource for the believer and has an entire section of updated commentaries called, "Nearing Midnight" as well as headlines and articles from the very best and brightest minds who are watching bible prophecy unfold.

Today we welcome back Alex Newman to talk about some of the important issues as 2024 draws to a close. First up, the recent UN Climate Summit and his attendance there, things he saw and heard. Does the election of Donald Trump cast a shadow on the globalist Christmas wish list? Or is it business as usual, shaking down the richest nations for trillions to finance their scam? We'll find out what he saw first hand and what the outcome could mean for our bottom line tax bill. Next, we discuss the Trump transition team, not the usual process involving favors to politicians who do favors to get, well, favors in return, but rather, these are non-politicians who are promising to work for us little folk. Who might be confirmed, who might not. Will things get done from day 1? We will break that down with Alex's help. Another topic is the education system and how dissolving the Department of Education might affect our children, taking education back to state control and what that might look like. A full hour of important topics.     Follow Us on Rumble

[Original airdate: 8/23/24] Mary welcomes Britt Gillette today of End Times Bible Prophecy to help us catch up on the latest news on the economy and the global reverberations in a world that is run by technocrats. Around a year ago we heard of several major banks failing, followed by complete silence from the media. In the same way, August 5 of this year saw Japan's largest market drop in their history, with weak knees ensuing around the world, all on the rumour that the US is "in a recession". Followed by crickets, August 6. What is going on? Does anyone know? Worse yet is being kept in the dark by all parties, especially banksters. Of course, public panic is not something they wish to ignite but at some point, the elite plan for a global economy will become perfectly clear. Until then, we have guests like Britt Gillette to clue us in. You can also find his articles on his Substack page. His books can be found here. An informative hour.

Mary chats with Jeff Childers, an attorney located in Gainesville, Florida. He has been actively involved since March 2020, providing truth, optimism, and hope as the author of the widely read, insightful international blog "Coffee and Covid".  He is one of the nation’s leading attorneys standing against unconstitutional mandates invading citizens’ bodily and medical autonomy. Since the 2020 pandemic, Jeff has represented a variety of clients and cases covering many controversial topics. He has managed to get an appellate decision finding that mandatory masking was presumptively unconstitutional, and he also shut down the City of Gainesville’s “vaccinate or terminate” policy as unconstitutional with a first-in-the-nation broad injunction against a vaccine mandate.  In addition, his witty and well thought out editorials about the daily news cycle are one of a kind. With an audience of 160,000 and growing, there is always something to glean from him that the "legacy media" is silent on. Today we look at the origins of the C&C blog, his fight against the PREP Act, and a handful of the week's page-turning headlines. Follow Us on Rumble

Time for another batch, bundle, or horde of headlines, whatever term of venery you care to employ. As things settle down around the election outcome, Christians have to be about their Father's business. Has anything changed relative to Bible prophecy? Of course not. Is your heart still burning for the return of Christ even with the fresh air that will probably come in January? We must remember that the more things change, the more they stay the same, so we will look at the globalists who aren't quite in the end zone yet but it's coming. We also look at what is happening in Syria, the Biden Pardon, the surveillance state. All that and more news of the day to help us put our eyes where they belong. Kings and Kingdoms shall all pass away, but there's something about that Name.

[Original airdate: 8/2/24] Mary chats with Dirk Smith today, Vice President of Eastern European Mission (EEM), begun in 1961 to get bibles into the hands of those living in the eastern Communist bloc nations. Their mission to get bibles into the hands of those still living in that region is going strong. Children, prisoners, average citizens - coming to learn of God's plan of the ages to redeem mankind through the shed blood of our Savior. In the West, news of bibles and copies of the Ten Commandments going into public schools in Louisiana and Oklahoma is like a fresh wind blowing through the rotting school culture of the times. We talk about their publishing arm, new materials for children, and all the ways God is using EEM. An encouraging hour of good news. No matter how dark the hour, God is working.

Mary chats with teacher, author and prophecy expert Lee Brainard about his deep studies into the Rapture. Lee has some great insights in his book, "Ten Potent Proofs for the Pre-Trib Rapture" and it's all in one short volume.  A great resource for those who may be confused by the genuine disdain that the church at large has developed for this viewpoint of late. And what about the incredible way the US has turned a corner on normality with the outcome of November's election? How does that affect the time table for the rapture? After all, the globalists have been in the red zone for a while, now a nationalist has intercepted and is heading things a different direction. Does it matter? Imminency is key of course. Learn more about Israel, dispensationalism, and the rapture with answers for those who oppose the clear teaching of Scripture on this matter. An hour to challenge us all.

[Original airdate: 8/1/24] Mary Danielsen welcomes back Pete Garcia for another timely look at historical context plus bible prophecy, an essential combination for understanding our current world. What is a barbarian and how do we spot them here in 2024? When we think of something that is "barbaric", we might think of an act so revolting and reprehensible we can hardly imagine how it might happen in a "civilized society". Are we a civilized society? Judging from social media and the general nature of the commentary therein, one would have to say no, we have lost all civility. Why is this? What happened? Who are these "barbarians at the gates"? There is a new type of militancy ruling the world, and it can be found in every corner: religious militancy, ideological militancy, and your garden variety anarchists. Great change is coming to our planet, to unite us all into one big tolerant mass. The end result will be the judgment of the nations, not the kumbaya state the barbarians seem to hope for. Always a great hour with Pete Garcia.   Shameless plug for swag for our listeners/donors! https://www.redpillprints.com/stand-up-for-the-truth - Thanks for YOUR Support!

PASTOR CLAUDE STAUFFER Mary Danielsen welcomes back Pastor Claude Stauffer of Calvary Chapel of Hope in Amityville, NY.  Pastor Claude is one of the best expositors of the entire counsel of Scripture, looking at God's Word in a balanced and detailed lens to help the Christian grow in their faith and in their knowledge of their Saviour. Today we talk about "thanksgiving" - not in a head knowledge way, as a cliche, or a superficial way, but in the very lifestyle that is built upon a heart filled to overflowing with gratitude for what God has done for us. Being thankful is God's will for us - and it is a tremendous witness to a lost and dying world. We should be people of praise and filled with joy even during the darkest hours, because God is good above all (Psalm 107). We will look at Romans 1, where Paul makes a charge that part of the downgrade of mankind is because he lacks gratitude. What a powerful verse that is! We also address anxiety and the place of gratitude in counteracting the negative things we tend to dwell on. Thanksgiving is everyone's favorite holiday, so let's "set the table" of our walk with the Lord being people who are thankful above all.  Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise! Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Pastor Claude's bible commentaries are available here.     Shameless plug for swag for our listeners/donors! https://www.redpillprints.com/stand-up-for-the-truth - Thanks for YOUR Support!

We discuss the dangerous and often subtle teachings of the NAR movement, Bethel music, and its problematic influence. What used to be on the fringes of the church is now mainstream, and many are being deceived. The authors of a new book, Counterfeit Kingdom share their concerns and research.

Mary welcomes back researcher and teacher Carl Teichrib, whose studies on transhumanism and transformation of what it means to be human are enlightening and extremely well thought out. Today we get a report on this year's Burning Man Transformational Festival. Lest anyone think it's merely Hippies 3.0, there is so much involved in the microcosm of life that takes place there each year. We will discuss the cooperative salvation/world spirituality that attendees are searching for, and look at the global aspects as well. Then we connect some dots with the Babel account in Genesis 11 and how it relates to the Burning Man mindset. The future is here, as ad execs proclaimed in the 1960s, which is profound on one level and nothing new at all on another, but as Solomon once said, "there is nothing new under the sun."  Regardless of the American election outcome, globalists are still scheming and cogitating on the future they themselves have always dreamt of. Carl's book, "Game of Gods", can be found here.     Shameless plug for swag for our listeners/donors! https://www.redpillprints.com/stand-up-for-the-truth - Thanks for YOUR Support!

Today we chat with Brady Blevins, Senior Apologist at Watchman Fellowship, an extensive apologetics and cult source that is indispensable for understanding and researching aberrant teachings both within Christendom and outside of it. Which one is more dangerous, within or without? Impossible to say in this age of heresy and apostasy. Today we look at ICC and its aggressive campus proselytizing. Who is Kip McKean? What is his background? How can parents of college students be more aware and prepare their kids for potential cult targeting? We also look at popular Asian cults such as World Mission Society Church of God and Shincheonji. Why do cults flourish in Asian societies to such a level, when one might think their governments would outlaw any expression of religion. As a believer of some duration, it is difficult to understand why anyone would go along with such obvious heresies, but humans being what they are, they are ever searching for a transcendent experience and the community experience to go along with that. A fascinating hour with Dr. Blevins.     Shameless plug for swag for our listeners/donors! https://www.redpillprints.com/stand-up-for-the-truth - Thanks for YOUR Support!
