Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

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 realities set in whether before, during, or after vacations. Ai, for instance, is facing a ba...

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 what occupies the headlines are mere “roa...

Dr. JB Hixson Today Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to talk about the revealing nature of what we would call “cover-ups” in this world – and what it says about all of us who want to know what’s behind whatever is going on behind whatever scenes this world sets up. As believers, we await the Revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ as described in the last chapter of the Bible &#821...

[From 4/22/25] Mary welcomes back Stand Up favorite Gary Kah to talk about ongoing world events in this first half of 2025. More importantly, are we praying and taking these events to the Lord, knowing He has it all in hand and yet understanding how important intercession is to protect and defend what we have been given? With this unique perspective, we look at both domestic and foreign issues, su...

David Arthur Mary welcomes in studio David Arthur with a testimony about which we can only say, “Only God!”. At a very young age, David sought his identity through a deep desire for love and affirmation, having grown up with no father in the home and sexual abuse beginning at 6 years old. His story is both extremely heartbreaking and profoundly hopeful; a raw and unfiltered warning fro...

On this edition of SUFTT, Mary welcomes Myra who tells us about her life in Pakistan as a Christian in a Muslim majority nation. Life in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan has shaped her entire understanding of faith, courage, and truth. As a child, she didn’t fully grasp the weight of what it meant to live as a Christian in a place where expressing your beliefs could come with real consequences. Th...

Today’s news cycle shows us what we’re up against when it comes to building the final world empire of surveillance and slavery . The Tower of Babel was one thing, and God judged it. Today’s tower to man’s desire to control is global, and it has the potential to be brutal. First up today is an update on the pandemic treaty, which, if you ask the average American, they would...

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. Why does the UAE need protection from Iran via Israel, that Iran is going after them with extra rage? We also look at the continuing battle of antisemitism, which is not abating at all in a supposedly tolerant, civilized world....

[From 12/16/25] Mary welcomes back researcher, author and prophecy student Scott Townsend to chat specifically on Ai in the church. This is a murky subject, because the church has existed for over 2000 years and never once said to itself, “gee we need technology to carry out our mission in the world.” And it will always be so, because worship, discipleship, study and fellowship do not...

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 would blame us – because so much of what we read from both believers and non-believers and th...

Carl Kerby | Bub Kuns Mary welcomes back Bub Kuns and Carl Kerby to catch up with them about all things related to youth ministry. We look at the latest in the DeBunked video series, and what it takes to bring one of these captivating and clever videos to life. We talk about the latest video on dinosaurs and why it is so popular.  We catch up with Carl and the many events he has been a part o...

Tim and Mary take a look at the headlines relating to one of the top stories of the week: The Android Next Door. Since personal, humanoid style household robots are poised to “evolve” into something more, well, human – we wonder what part of their popularity today is Hollywood inspired, and what part is real? Is life imitating art? Do we really want a bot in our kitchen or anywhe...

Mary continues the conversation about the fundamental poisoning of humanity on two levels: synthetic chemicals in the form of pharma and gene-editing drugs, and increasing bureaucracy designed to control all agricultural seeds. What do raw milk, migration policies, energy policies, backyard poultry, our health, and slaughterhouses have in common? All of them have become so controlled by politician...

Today Mary welcomes back Trey Dellinger to talk about Wisconsin’s Governor Evers’ “Capitol capitulation” in vetoing AB 105, designed to protect our kids from online adult content.  Evers vetoed this bill that was passed by the Republican legislature requiring all porn online users to give ID to prove age. Being the first governor to veto such protective legislation, residen...

NOT Elijah Abraham [NO VIDEO AVAILABLE TODAY] Mary welcomes back Elijah Abraham to catch up on his recent travels and opportunities to spread the gospel to many. Elijah travels often to various nations and teaches, counsels, and encourages believers in many corners of the world. We get an uplifting report from a pastors’ heart so that we can be encouraged as well – seeing how God is wo...

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 unveiling of who the true church is. Today we look at a remarkable acc...

On today’s podcast, Mary revisits Bible prophecy basics circa 2026. It’s amazing that what was true 50 years ago biblically is still true; what has changed, even in a mere 5 years, are the multitude of cultural markers that point to convergence and soon fulfillment. The beautiful thing is, prophecy students will watch and wait regardless of signs. They are already overwhelmingly convin...

Original airdate: 10/14/25 : Mary welcomes first time guest to the podcast Pastor/Dr. Richard Schmid t to discuss current events. Richard has been an avid student of the Word of God for over 45 years. After giving his life to Christ during a Chicago revival meeting, he immediately immersed himself into evangelism and the study of Scripture, graduating with both a B.S. and M.A. in Pastoral Theology...

[Original airdate: 2/17/26]   Q90 ladies Katie and Mary take a look at a trending topic: Ultra-processed foods (UPFs). With the rise in both colon cancer and dementia among people far too young to worry about such things, fingers are being pointed at our chemical-riddled foods. Not just fast foods but anything in a package. Processed foods, those can be minimally processed with the addition of jus...

Mary welcomes back Pastor David Bowen of Interpreting the Times to discuss the rising tide of evil in our world. As much as we think we are informed about many different things, we often fail to connect them in these last days as one continual flow of history and events. And we can never overstate the connective tissue of evil, as the kingdoms of this world give way to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ....

Mary chats with Ray Moore about the alarming rise in anti-homeschooling bills that have been proposed since January. Ray is the founder of The Exodus Mandate Project , urging Christian parents to pull their kids out of public schools and place them in Christian schools or homeschool instead. Ray, a co-founder of Frontline Ministries, Inc., currently serves as the President of the Board. Ray is the...

On today’s edition of SUFTT, we look at the steady flow of things that make us say, “I never thought I would see that!”, to be followed by, for Christians at least, “What a time to be alive!”. Both expressions are valid. Pigs may not be flying but they are being chased. By a robot. Ask the people in Warsaw Poland. There are so many things that fall into this category...

Mary welcomes back Mike Gendron to have a conversation about counterfeit gospels and our response. Once we establish that the one true urgent gospel is the truth, that the church’s mission revolves around it, and Jesus gave His life for it, there is no room for counterfeits. And yet, in Galatians 1, Paul tells us with emphasis that there are those who, for whatever reason, are enamored of fa...
