Truth to Ponder

There is no doubt that many people that call themselves Christians are truly NOT Christians at all. They have rejected the truth of God’s Word and adopted a very secular world view. Many formerly vibrant and believing “Main-Line” Church bodies have traded in the true Gospel of Jesus Christ for a man-centric “social gospel.” Today Bob welcomes a good friend and fellow minister, Rev. Michael Hinton,...

It has been over a half century since we had the first “Earth Day.” Back then there were dire predictions of the end of the earth as we knew it, if we didn’t act NOW! How did those predictions pan out? How have the predictions made in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000, and beyond done? They all have one thing in common. They failed to materialize, yet we are told that “Climate Change” is the greatest existen...

On this edition of the program and podcast, Bob takes us away from the discouraging headlines of our time and draws us to some encouraging possibilities. There is no doubt the world is increasingly hostile to true Christians. In these times we need ways to connect, places of encouragement and refreshment, the church was often the target for even harsher restrictions during the pandemic and is find...

On this edition of the radio program and podcast Bob spotlights truth from lies, fact from propaganda, and false teachers and false prophets from the genuine Word of God.  If you are a podcast listener, would you consider supporting the radio outreach of “Truth to Ponder.” Your gift, large or small, is a great help.

Bob opens the program with this question. “What are YOU going to do when worshiping God is an act of civil disobedience?” Many of us have always believed the day was coming when Christian Persecution would ramp up throughout the entirety of the western world. I think all of us have been surprised on how quickly it has come using the Pandemic as an excuse.  It’s time to get ready.

One of the hardest parts of preparing a daily radio program and podcast is the amount of negative and bad news one must dig through daily. It can be most depressing to the point you can almost feel defeated and overwhelmed. The hardest part is to find balance. Certainly, the truth must be shared and lies must be exposed, but the Good News must always take precedent. Today Bob shares some light and...

They are not “Sweet little Lies,” they are not harmless lies, what we are being told by both our government and mainstream media are horrendous and dangerous lies. The “Cult of Covid” keeps pushing the fear narrative and now even demands the faces of 2-year-olds be covered, which is not scientific, logical, or even healthy. This past year, the ever changing narrative has been hard to follow, but B...

Today Bob gets back to the news of the day, and the headlines behind the headlines. The Internet is full of all types of information, so how do you know when what you are finding is true, reliable, or even accurate? It is not easy. The one thing we have learned is the media is part of an ever-shifting narrative, and the truth is often elusive. Bob looks at some of the stories in our news and break...

When does the Church rise up and be the church? When does the church stop being cowards and crumbling in their faith? When does the true church divorce itself from the spiritual harlots and earth worshipers? On today’s edition Bob takes on that topic and shares the story of a pastor with true courage. He also shares the words of a prophecy given by a clergyman back in the 1600s which was for this...

“ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction .” These words from Proverbs 1:7 are extremely fitting in this time in which we live. The world lives in a pandemic of fear but has mostly ceased in any “f ear of the Lord .” Again, in Proverbs we read “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” (Pro...

On this edition of Truth to Ponder, Bob welcomes as his guest George Christensen. George is a member of the Australian Government and lives in the North Queensland city of Mackay where he was born, raised, and educated. George is serving his fourth term as an Australian Member of Parliament. Bob begins the program sharing some strange absurdities in these recent times, then with George they discus...

The “Cancel Culture Cult” continues its purge us of integrity, honesty, and personal freedom. From name calling, social media trolling, to attempting to destroy the lives of others, the “Cancel Culture Cult” is increasingly resembling the Cultural Revolution in Communist China. Bob begins a series on the Cancel Culture Cult, and how it will impact you sooner than you think.

When you see the people leading this world and our western nations acting without logic or clear thinking, when you see the crazy and insane ideas being “normalized” in our schools, governments, and media, something evil is happening. Bob begins a series on the cottage industry of doom, gloom, and division.

Each day the story changes, the rules are modified, and politicians dish out fear by the bucketload on TV and Social Media. People are in fear, and many of our children are both educationally and psychologically damaged. When do we demand truth and accountability? When do we say it is finished and we have had enough of wild guesses and crazy theories? Bob looks at the numbers and calls them for wh...

On this episode Bob takes a break from the news of the day and turns our focus to the good news that is the story of Easter. Bob takes us on a journey back in time to Jerusalem to be there when Jesus is mocked, beaten, carries His cross, dies, was buried, and rose again. Bob shares some special music he hopes you will find a blessing as well.

In recent decades much of the Western Church has lost sight of this special day call Maundy Thursday. On this special edition of “Truth to Ponder,” Bob shares some incredible truths that too many Christians have never heard or applied in their own lives. We believe the message contained in this program is life changing, and empowering. This is truly a message for this time.

In the fall of 1974, a song by Harry Chapin was released and became his only Number One hit. The song, “Cat’s in the Cradle” is a haunting song about how parents, in this case the father, can get so wrapped up in their life and career they become distant to their own children. Chapin said the song was about his own relationship with his son, Josh, admitting, "Frankly, this song scares me to death....

We have learned over the past year that Politics, Fear, Division, and Dishonesty have been employed to divide us and control us in ways we never dreamed possible. Families impacted, and children damaged by our insane response to a virus. Too many look for their hope in politics. Even in Jesus time the Children of Israel looked at Jesus for a political solution, never realizing his mission was not...

During this past week Bob has been sharing his thoughts on how we, as Christians, should quietly separate ourselves from the things of this world, and develop our own media platforms, podcasts, connected community, and answering the call that each of us has for our work in God’s Kingdom. On this episode Bob gives more tangible information on how we prepare for the difficult times ahead, and what i...

On today’s edition of the program, Bob looks at some of the recent news headlines and how fast people got the story line wrong in pursuing a false narrative or political agenda. Bob shares how increasingly hard it is to find accurate information with our biased mainstream media, and how even “Alternative” news sites can often end up being sources of false and damaging information, hurting the cred...

Yesterday Bob started sharing some important things with the entire audience of this radio show and podcast. This program must be more than just a daily summation of the “bad news” of our day and times, perhaps a quick update of our times, but more important, it must be what our God given tasks and options are. On Today’s program Bob starts listing a few specific things we can do. Perhaps God is c...

Today Bob begins to share where God is leading “Truth 2 Ponder.” It is easy to find and rant about all the problems in this world today and many radio programs, podcasts, websites, and video bloggers do just that, however, is that enough? While sharing news and information is important, it is even more important to share solutions, encouragement, and what God’s Word has to say on many issues.

Bob opens with the question “ What fills your mind ?” How much time do we spend with negative news, the filth and lies of the world, “The Daily News,” and Social Media? Probably more than most of us would want to admit. Today, Bob shares some serious thoughts about how to balance our time, and how to be more effective agents of change in a world that seems to have gone insane.

Today Bob picks up on where he left off yesterday with a few words about what has been revealed in the State of Georgia. As many people may know, Bob has had a deep relationship with Georgia since 1975 and spends part of his time there. It is time for the full light of truth to be shone on this state, as it should be on a few others. On the second half of the program Bob changes direction on somet...
