Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

Mary takes on the latest “marking” technology by taking a road trip into the late 1990s and early ’00s,  looking at the history of implanted tech – and why 1999 chip rumours of mass implantations are obsolete. Remember when tattoos were back-alley statements? It wasn’t that long ago that they were frowned upon for “decent moral people”. But things have changed in the land of all things “cool”, and now smart tattoos are nearly here. We also look at the latest updates regarding Islam’s growth in Texas, and who is finally getting involved. With the story of Islamic communities springing up hitting the mainstream, it looks like it has the attention of state and federal authorities finally. Then we look at the rumour mill swirling about Israel, suggesting that the POTUS is no longer tight with our only real Mideast ally. The “art of the deal” – that’s what Trump does best, and it’s not a lazy summer game of checkers – it’s chess, and it’s sophisticated. Lots to talk about on this edition of Stand Up for the Truth.

Tim and Mary Danielsen talk about the long-term value to learning how to study the Scriptures via the inductive study method. What is inductive bible study? Observing, interpreting, and applying Scriptures is a skill within every believer’s reach, and with a bit of work yields remarkable results as we learn to hold the Scriptures in high esteem, and yield ourselves to what we learn so that we can realize the transformed life. Maybe you have done mostly a type of devotional study but feel like there is something missing in your studies. There is nothing wrong with a devotional approach – but once you learn these skills you probably won’t look at any passage of Scripture the same ever again. If your goal is to go much deeper into the Word and glean some remarkable truths, we encourage you to give a listen and see if inductive bible study is for you or your church group. We talk about how to observe any text, how to do word studies (no, you need not be a Greek or Hebrew scholar), the place for commentaries, and how to interpret and apply to be faithful to the whole counsel of God’s Word.

Mary welcomes Rob Yardley to the podcast, Rob is a true servant in the church with the heart of a pastor and theologian. Rob has served on several boards of note and continues to do so – from Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa to ICR to Thru the Bible with J Vernon McGee. His new role as Executive Director of The Berean Call is one that is dear to his heart because of his friendship with the late Dave Hunt, and of course T.A. McMahon, who has recently retired. When putting godly men like Dave Hunt, TA, Henry Morris, and J Vernon side by side we get a picture of 20th century men that God greatly used. We will look at the legacies of each one, and talk about what it means to be a Berean in 2025. Where are today’s great apologists and theologians? A thoughtful hour with a thoughtful brother.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

On today’s NEW PODCAST, Host Dave Wager offers a unique “interview” with the late V. Raymond Edman through Edman’s devotional book The Delights of Life, focusing on the chapter titled “Destination.” Using Revelation 14:13 as the anchor verse, Dave explores Edman’s reflections on death—not as something to fear, but as a destination of delight for those who know Christ. Through Scripture readings, poetry, and personal stories, he unpacks the hope and assurance found in a relationship with Jesus, encouraging listeners to view death as the doorway to God’s eternal presence rather than an end to be dreaded. Dave challenges listeners to examine their own views on life, death, and eternity, asking whether their trust is truly in Christ or in the temporary things of this world. He emphasizes that knowing God through His Word transforms our understanding of mortality and empowers us to live confidently and joyfully, even in the face of life’s uncertainties. This powerful conversation invites believers to shift their focus from earthly distractions to eternal truths, resting in the promise that “blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.”     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Today we’ll be rebroadcasting our conversation with David Horowitz, the influential author, speaker, and conservative activist who passed away 4/29/25 at the age of 86 after a long battle with cancer. Best known for his memoir Radical Son and for boldly confronting radical ideologies on college campuses, Horowitz spent a lifetime navigating—and ultimately rejecting—the political extremes of the American Left. From his early days among Marxists and Black Panthers to his fierce advocacy for free speech and Western values through the David Horowitz Freedom Center, his voice remained unapologetically clear. His journey from revolutionary to Reagan Republican left a permanent mark on America’s culture wars. [Original airdate: 2/16/23] TODAY’S GUEST: David Horowitz is founder of the David Horowitz Freedom Center and the bestselling author of several books, including Radical Son, The Black Book Of The American Left, Dark Agenda: The War To Destroy Christian America, and his brand new book, FINAL BATTLE: THE NEXT ELECTION COULD BE THE LAST. Final Battle, by David Horowitz, exposes the real threat that Democrats pose to freedom. The rise of socialism and critical race theory, coupled with threats to the Electoral College and Senate, an independent judiciary, and the integrity of the electoral system, now threaten to destroy the traditions that bring Americans together — the heart of our democracy. …Americans now speak in different and antagonistic political languages, and the two parties are so polarized that the American way of life itself is at risk.

Mary welcomes back Israel expert Jim Fletcher to help us both celebrate and articulate what it means that this regathered nation is 77 years old this week. Today we talk about some significant prophecies in Ezekiel and Amos, and the absolute promises of God to regather and redeem Israel. For what purpose? Not only for His good pleasure, that His people are the apple of His eye, but for the reasons stated in Ezekiel 37: “That they may know….” There are 58 such mentions from Ezekiel 34-39 alone. It’s for HIS Name’s sake. Then we look at the Cyrus Cylinder and archaeology as apologetic. Who wrote Isaiah? If you have to ask, we will give an answer. Finally, we answer the the question, “What is Israel?” If churches won’t teach prophecy because of a few who mishandle it, they could at least teach God’s plan for Israel of the ages, which should build our faith. As Psalm 102:16 tells us, “For the Lord shall build up Zion; He shall appear in His glory.” Now THAT’s glorious.  Jim’s Israel blog is called “The God That Answers“.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

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.
