LGBTQ Archives - Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

Dr Duke Show hosts, Duke Pesta and Katie Petrick of Freedom Project join us today for some almost unbelievable education updates. You’re not going to believe what is actually happening on college campuses and in public school classrooms in America. Some in the LGBTQ community are now openly admitting their goal is to “groom young children.” Their agenda has moved on from diversity to inclusion. We...

We see and hear the stories every day of Christians in China, Iran, Pakistan and Africa being harassed, imprisoned and sometimes murdered for their faith in Jesus Christ. We see the stories here in America of Christians being bullied and intimidated into silence. Yet, we cannot seem to connect the dots. This bullying and intimidation is a precursor to the coming violent persecution of Christians h...

Feelings, opinions, beliefs and truth are parts of the thought process that leads to our ultimate actions and behaviors. But the order in which they form our complex thought and subsequent action makes all the difference in the world. If we get them in the wrong order we can start down a slippery slope where our beliefs and actions contradict what God says in His Word, and nothing good will come o...

There is no doubt we live in a sexually-charged society. God has given us clear definitions and teachings about sexual relations and gender, but society has brought confusion, and many people - young and old - are suffering the consequences. Homosexuality is practically accepted and promoted and young people especially, are facing depression and emptiness because they have become confused about th...

Satan is the perfect liar. He has mastered his art of deception over thousands of years and he can present something to us that looks “good” when in reality it is his instrument for enslaving us once man abuses it. In the final segments today, Mike and David look at how the Internet, presented in the 1990s as man’s gateway to knowledge and communication, is slowly becoming a system of intimidation...

Friday is your show! Mike covers questions and comments from our listeners. Here are some of the questions, comments, and topics that Stand Up for the Truth listeners want to discuss today: Is the Bible clear on Christians tithing and giving? Doesn't President Trump promote violence just as much as the radicals on the Left? Hyper-grace is becoming a cancer in the church, leading to 'seeker-sensiti...

How would you feel if friends invited you to their home for dinner and when you sat down to eat they served jars of Gerber's baby food? Would you feel awkward, embarrassed or maybe even offended? But too many churches today are practically doing this with God's Word! Let's look at this from God's perspective as written in the Book of Hebrews: God has given us great principles and depths of wisdom...

The U.S. spend billions of dollars every year on space exploration and the search for extraterrestrial life. Hollywood produces and people watch film after film suggesting we are not alone in the universe. There's something fascinating about the unknown. But scientists, a majority of whom are atheists, hoping to validate their theory of life on other planets, need only look to God's Word. Jay Seeg...

One of the most sinister things a person can do is to brainwash someone into thinking they are in a crisis and that the only way to get out of it is to buy what they are selling, when in reality what they are "selling" actually brings the crisis to fruition. That is exactly the hoax being perpetuated on America and the Christian church by radicals and progressives. Create a crisis and then offer a...

Today's guest is Don Veinot of Midwest Christian Outreach. He recently attended the Parliament of World religions and gives us an update including a bit of history on this unbiblical movement. The meeting in Toronto, Canada included a United Nations workshop espousing the view that our salvation (and the salvation of the earth) depends on man - on our ability to shed exclusion and embrace our "com...

Here are some of the topics and questions discussed today: If we are no longer under that law, why do Christians teach that some parts of the law still apply while other parts do not apply? What was Paul saying in Romans 14:23 when it states, "whatever is not from faith is sin?" There are many aspects to taking one's own life, but what is the right way to view suicide? As a Californian, we are ver...

The Apostle Paul makes it clear that we are to honor and obey governmental authorities in our lives, as long as their orders do not contradict what the Bible teaches. In America we are blessed because we get to choose our leaders, the "Caesars" we are to submit to. Tomorrow (Tuesday) Americans will elect our government leaders for the next two years, and their motives for voting will be worldly. B...

First time guest, Vas Avramidis, Ratio Christi chapter director at Rutgers University, joins us today. Being a former atheist, Vos quickly learned at college that most Christian students could not explain why they believed what they believe. He tried Buddhism, became a Wiccan, and even explored Hare Krishna before coming to faith in Jesus Christ. He then realized how important and vital it was for...

When you watch a movie with great special effects, what you see looks amazing (Buildings exploding, giant dinosaurs, super heroes flying). But when you look behind the curtain so to speak, and see how computer generated imaging produces these effects, the magic wears off and you realize it is all fantasy and illusion. Today, we look at the hard core progressive movement in our nation and how it is...

The Word of God and the ways of this fallen world are in complete contradiction with one another. What God calls "evil" the world thinks of as "good". A Biblical Worldview gives us eternal hope in spite of all we see around us. The world offers nothing but eventual despair and eternal separation from the One who created and sustains us. Things are getting so bizarre in the world that as Christians...

Alarming things are going on behind the scenes in public education that many parents have no idea about while many others are too busy to care. Since the 1960s, the system has flipped on its head. Political correctness and postmodernism have ruled American education to the point that by the college level, there now exists an intolerance of opposing views if students do not support liberal ideology...

So many controversial issues and debates, so little time! Here's what listeners want to discuss today: To what level can a Christian be depressed? How much does our faith play into our emotional and mental health, and how much depends on trusting God? I know spiritual warfare is real because we are warned many times about it in the New Testament, but to what extent can demons influence Christians?...
