Apostasy Archives - Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

Mary welcomes back Don Veinot to discuss pastoring in the digital age: are pastors aware of the ways social media is shaping those in their care? One recent study reports that teens spend an astounding 10 hours every day on their cell phones, with tweens (ages 8-12) logging in at nearly 6 hours. Adults, on […] The post Don Veinot: Guarding the Flock in the Digital Age appeared first on Stand...

Mary welcomes back seasoned apologist Don Veinot of Midwest Christian Outreach to talk about “sycretism” and why the majority of evangelicals embrace it to some level or another. What is syncretism? Is it those dreadful “Co-Exist” bumper stickers, or something more sinister? Syncretism is the mixing of one faith/belief system with another, it is mixing […] The post Don Veinot: Ch...

SORRY, NO VIDEO VERSION TODAY! Mary welcomes back JB Hixson today to help us all turn down the volume on our lives. We are inordinately busy – and not just that, we are tuning in the world more and more and tuning out that still small voice, the one thing that can give us strength […] The post JB Hixson: In a Dry and Thirsty Land appeared first on Stand Up For The Truth Podcast .

In today’s installment of Stand Up, Tim and Mary take on a batch of headlines that point to the continuing global delusion of peace and unity. Every Christian should understand by now that what is going on in the Middle East was never about establishing a state, but destroying one. It is so obvious to […] The post Headlines: Dystopia, Delusions, and Deals in Broad Daylight appeared fir...

[Original airdate: 7/2/24] Mary chats with TA McMahon of The Berean Call about the nature of so many false teachings today, and the various reactions by the church as to what, if anything, can be done about it. Why is there so much apostasy? The bible says we have a choice, that we must choose […] The post TA McMahon: Enter Through the Strait Gate appeared first on Stand Up For The Truth Pod...

Mary welcomes back Jim Fletcher to discuss the growing malevolent force of Jew hatred around the world, particularly in Europe. The walls are closing in on the Jewish people and the level of hate is astonishing. There seems no possibility of stemming the tide either, so since it will only increase, how late is it? […] The post Jim Fletcher: Keep Your Eye on the Ball appeared first on Stand U...

Mary welcomes back Pastor Claude Stauffer of Calvary Chapel Amityville, NY to talk about his latest book, “Your Greatest Patriotic Duty”. Our discussion covers a variety of topics from voting, to political polarization, to evangelism to revival. Christians often disengage from the election process, stating that the lesser of two evils in candidates is no […] The post Pastor Claud...

Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to talk about his newest book, “The Great Last Days Apostasy“. Vance Havner once said, “The church is so subnormal that if it ever got back to the New Testament normal, it would seem to people to be abnormal.” So since that’s loaded with observational wisdom, we have to ask […] The post JB Hixson: The Great Last Days Apostasy appeare...

Time for more headlines and some follow up from our recent podcasts on occultism. Today Mary addresses some feedback she has had on those programs, particularly regarding occultism in the church, and the responses people have to that, who deserve some solid answers. We look at Bethel, catching up on their occultic antics and how […] The post Headline Day: If it’s True, it’s Not N...

On today’s headline day we look at the trajectory of antisemitism around the world. It seemed to have taken a bit of a break during the election cycle but nothing has, or will change, the current direction of antisemitism and it will get worse and worse, a tragedy and a pox upon humanity. From Amsterdam […] The post Headlines: Speaking Up – Pogroms, Prophecy and Pulpits appeared...

Today we welcome back speaker, author, apologist Jay Seegert of The Starting Point Project. Jay speaks to audiences on the evidence for the existence of God, evidence for the inerrancy and Divine inspiration of the Bible, worldviews and our “starting point”; creation vs. evolution, and the ongoing Bible vs. science controversy. In this podcast we […] The post Jay Seegert: Stand Your Ground a...

Mary Danielsen chats with JB Hixson on the dangers of false teaching. It might be difficult to comprehend how those who are supposed to have the Holy Spirit Who guides us into all truth could ever assent to false teaching. Peter warns us in his 2nd epistle that “many will follow their destructive ways” and […] The post JB Hixson: Destructive, Depraved Deceptions appeared first on...

In today’s headlines, the biggest story of the week is the EU election sabotage. Both France and the UK have given things over to the scoundrels who work out back room politics – and to what end? The Spirit of the Age, in this late hour, is a socialist, Marxist paradigm that can only be […] The post Headlines: The Great Election Reset; The Wise and the Foolish; Bird Flu Angst app...

We welcome back Russ Miller today and discuss the delusional aspect of our times on the subject of false Christs, one of the more sobering warnings in the New Testament. The bible tells us clearly who the Messiah is in detail. Jesus Himself walked the earth to witness to His people Israel and prophesy about […] The post Russ Miller: False Christs, False Prophets, False Christians appeared fi...

Mary Danielsen chats with JB Hixson about the merchandizing of all things evangelical, and how the consumer mentality has radically altered the sights and sounds of how we “do church”.  From the seeker paradigm to use of media in all its forms, the church has been transformed radically in the last 35 years. Are Christians […] The post JB Hixson: The Evangelical Industrial Complex...

Mary Danielsen explores the week’s top stories with the backdrop of “What if the Bible had no prophecy?” Think about all the promises of God for the believer, now they are no longer available to cheer us and give us hope. How would we get up in the morning without the knowledge that there is […] The post Headlines: If the Bible Contained No Prophecy, There Would Be No End i...

Mary Danielsen chats with JB Hixson about deception in the last days. Deception and lies are of course traveling companions; knowing the truth in a culture that operates openly on lies is a tremendous challenge today. Beyond the daily misrepresentations of media and our fellow humans, there is delusion; beyond delusion is quite possibly loss […] The post JB Hixson: The Anatomy of Deception a...

Mary Danielsen talks to Bill Perkins of Compass International about a range of topics that he covers in his Steel on Steel series of books. He hosted the first Steeling the Mind Conference in Vail in 1993, and moved to Idaho to take a job with Koinonia House (headed by Chuck Missler) that same year. […] The post Bill Perkins: Steeling Our Minds in an Age of Acceleration appeared first on Sta...

Mary Danielsen welcomes back Jim Fletcher to talk about God’s promises to Israel and what that means for the believer; why Israel is truly winning the war with Hamas; and dividing the land, which of course God will never bless.  Then we talk about those ridiculous Super Bowl Ads that suggest that the God of […] The post Jim Fletcher: Why Israel is Winning; He Gets Us (So Does the Devil...

Holly Pivec joins us today for an in-depth look at the New Apostolic Reformation, particularly as represented by the likes of Bill Johnson at Bethel. Who is this man and what is this “reformation” they speak of? Even the first part of the name, “New Apostolic” should set off alarms, but a reformtion? Is it […] The post Holly Pivec: NAR – A Reckless Christianity...

Today we chat with author, blogger and speaker Alisa Childers on the topic of “deconstructing” Christianity; what it is, why it’s destructive and how to respond. With terms like “ex-vangelical” and “toxic” faith/Christianity/church being tossed around, it would appear we have a postmodern exit demographic to deal with. Is it anti-authority, the desire to n...

Mary Danielsen talks to Tom McMahon of The Berean Call about the coming strong delusion and how the church has gotten so far from reason and apologetics as to become a church based on feelings and doing what seems right. Beyond the itching ear syndrome and seeker-friendly paradigms, we will look at how crafting worship […] The post T.A. McMahon: The Flight from Reason and the Feel-Good Churc...

Mary Danielsen chats with Russ Miller of Creation, Evolution and Science Ministries (CESM) in the first half about how rampant deception begins with turning away from the simplicity of the true gospel. With so much biblical illiteracy in the church, more people at looking at fictional representations and “what is right in their own eyes” […] The post Russ Miller: Another Jesus, A...
