Israel Archives - Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

With the “dog days” of Summer upon us, and the Europeans still clueless as to what true Summer heat is like in the south, we bring post-Independence Day headlines. In this uniquely lazy time of year, finding connected headlines is very difficult so we have a real smorgasbord of information. Yet we can always find […] The post Headlines: Dog Days News Roundup appeared first on Sta...

On today’s edition of SUFTT, Mary takes a look at Psalm 73 as a much-needed answer to the wrestling we all do in the face of a world gone awry.

Mary welcomes back Israel expert Jim Fletcher to talk about the winds of change that have blown through the world by looking at a couple of statistics: the 50th commemoration of Entebbe, and the 1000th day of the current war that Israel has bravely fought on multiple fronts.

Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to talk about his latest book, “Fade to Black: Rise of Global Tyranny”.

But in short order, […] The post JB Hixson: Fade to Black appeared first on Stand Up For...

With an eye on the heavens through the Psalm 19 Project and his archaeological work and field study in Greece, Turkey, the Island of Patmos, Israel, Jordan, Peru and all over Egypt, we ask, are those […] The post Mondo Gonzales: Telescopes, Trowels, and Treaties appeared first on...

On today’s edition of SUFTT, we review what it means to be a Berean, as outlined in Acts 17. When Paul was preaching Christ to the Thessalonian Jews, he also had the attention of the Greeks in attendance at the synagogue.

Tim and Mary look at some of the things that are ramping up as we head to Summer of ’26. Many people thought that 2026 would be a meltdown kind of year, and that’s certainly a possibility. While it’s kind of fun to think that biting mosquitoes might be vanquished once and for all, global […] The post Headlines: A Summer Hate Wave – Islam, and Ai Backlash appeared firs...

Today’s headlines, as do most stories that the world deems important, remind us that we are just passing through this life. Whether it’s aliens, mass immigration and movements of populations of people, the economy or whatever we are all told is important, we as believers have to remember it’s all temporary.  A considerable amount of […] The post Headlines: Mile Markers and...

Mary welcomes back Pastor Andy Woods to talk about some of the hot topics around the world. First up we look at Israel, and their providing an Iron Dome system for the UAE.

We also look […] The post Andy Woods: The Truth and the Times appeared first on Stand Up For The Truth Podcast .

Mary chats with Lee Brainard about the Iran war, and why we just can’t seem to settle on what is really going on there. Every day is a new headline, immediately followed by another one that says, no, that’s not what’s going on. So is avoiding the topic altogether the direction to take, and who […] The post Lee Brainard: Iran – A Propaganda Pipeline appeared first on Stand Up For...

Tim and Mary take on the news with both a backward and forward looking perspective. As we get closer to the Lord’s return for His church, we seem to be seeing ways in which He is revealing many things; the antics of a lukewarm self-centered church, the ideologies of political parties, archeology, and not surprisingly, […] The post Headlines: Revealed, Unearthed, Unveiled appeared first...

Original airdate 4/10/26: Mary welcomes Dr. Tim Chaffey to discuss the controversial Hebrew Roots Movement. Far from simply trying to understand the Jewish roots of the Bible, this movement seeks to answer the question about what happens when Gentiles and Jews get saved: do Gentiles become Jews?  For centuries, the people of God were Jews, […] The post Replay – Dr. Tim Chaffey: Do Gent...

Mary welcomes back the insightful John Haller to the podcast as we capture some screenshots of big events before we lose the day’s light. The world is so dark, prophecy is so beckoning, that we have to begin to at least realize we are ending one day, the day of man, and about to enter […] The post John Haller: Kodak Moments Just as the Light Fades appeared first on Stand Up For The Tru...

Tim and Mary take on another news cycle, once again we see the shadows of the longest hatred: antisemitism. It is not going to improve but rather those with a demonic agenda will continue to take things to a very dark place, inviting judgment. As we saw with Covid, humans are deeply affected by suggestion, […] The post Headlines: Short Memories, Long Shadows appeared first on Stand Up For Th...

Mary welcomes back author and prophecy expert Britt Gillette to help us count the cost of the Mideast war. There is no getting around the fact that any war has economic shockwaves, but in the oil slick of the world there is always potential for extended aftershocks. As if we need more hotspots, we talk […] The post Britt Gillette: Oil, Stocks, Economic Aftershocks appeared first on Stand Up...

Tim and Mary unpack some last days realities that sound more and more surreal. Take for instance the merry-go-round that is the Middle East, at least when it comes to Iran and current headlines. Now that Iran has played their turn and installed a familial leader (which the 1970s Ayatollah KHO-meini decried before his death), […] The post Headlines: The Cat, the Box, and Reality appeared firs...

Have we just entered into a season that is one of the most unpredictable since the Shah was overthrown in 1979? Even with the strength that President Reagan showed in releasing the American hostages from Iran’s volatile and brutal grip back then, perhaps President Trump has shown the most courage and resolve we have seen […] The post Headlines: Lighter Fluid appeared first on Stand Up...

Mary takes on some headlines today with a theme: why is everyone so angry? In particular, what things just set people off in a frenzy of emotional vitriol? Well, the nation of Israel for one, in particular those peculiar people of God, the Jews (we are all peculiar people according to the Bible) – those […] The post Headlines: The Age of Outrage appeared first on Stand Up For The Truth...

Pete Garcia and Mary Danielsen discuss the role of the watchman in the church [Original airdate: 10/20/23]; a lonely role that causes bible prophecy to be marginalized despite every sign in the world that it is on God’s front burner.  Our worldview, which includes the imminent return of Christ, must not cave to biblical illiteracy […] The post Replay – Pete Garcia: Watchman, What...

Mary welcomes back Gary Kah for a timely discussion on Iran, Islam, elections, and Jewish emigration to Israel. What is next for Iran, everyone is waiting impatiently. As much as we might have expected Trump to make a decision on that by now, it is so complex that regime change could effectively make things worse […] The post Gary Kah: Ayatollahs, Aliyah, and General Anarchy appeared first o...
