  Mary Danielsen: Hero-Centric, Template-Oriented, Motivational Branding 02.10.2026 56Min.

  Mary is back with a solo podcast taking on the late blooming fruit of the Purpose Driven/Seeker Sensitive/motivational paradigm of the corporate branding of the church. It’s been over 20 years since the Evangelical Industrial Complex redefined what a church is, what preaching is, and the consumer approach to all of it. Where are we at? It’s not good. Even small-to-middlin’ churches have adopted the cape wearing hero style of many if not most pastors today. What is a pastor, after all? Why are so many failing to finish well? If a church isn’t teaching the Bible systematically, what are they doing? Is there a name for what people sit through every Sunday? Many sharp Christians know what is missing, but they can’t seem to name it. We name it today. We look at C. Peter Wagner and Peter Drucker, the men responsible for the Signs and Wonders movement, the NAR, and the corporate top-down, success oriented view of the pews – and it is wholly unbiblical. No sacred cows today, just straight shooting as we assess the fallout of the purpose driven drivel over the Spirit led church.     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

  Chris Quintana: Ai – Good, Bad, or Neutral? 01.10.2026 55Min.

  Mary welcomes Chris Quintana back to the podcast to talk about Ai – morally, physically, philosophically, scientifically.  Some of us of a certain age thought our answering machines were pretty special, because before those things showed up, we were pretty much unreachable. Then came this century. There is so much to try and parse about Ai it’s mind-boggling. Today we look at how it should–or shouldn’t–be applied to bible prophecy; whether it’s artificial, intelligent, or just thinks it thinks. Many wishful thinkers believe that when it gets “intelligent enough” it will become conscious. Well, birds and dogs are conscious, but not nearly as intelligent as humans or Ai. What about if it escapes its pen? Is it really just a sophisticated answering machine or does it have no answers whatsoever? Does it hallucinate? A fun and full hour with the very thoughtful Chris Quintana.       Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

  Headlines: The Promised Land and the God Who Promised 30.09.2026 55Min.

  On todays SUFTT: Headline Edition we talk about “that land”. Israel, the most contested piece of real estate in the world. The American folk song, “This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land” that we all sang as kids, is a catchy, soaring ode to the beauty and co-ownership, the freedom, that Americans have always had from sea to shining sea. Walk it, drive it, fly over it – it was “made for you and me.” But was it, really? America, like every bit of land around the world, has been settled, unsettled and resettled many times in history.  In Israel, that contested dirt is also claimed by many; but what does the Bible say about it? Is it all that special? And if Israel dares to claim long-standing and actually eternal ownership and try to prevent its own annihilation, well that’s unacceptable. The Bible has a lot to say about that land, which is governed by covenant in God’s eyes, regardless of the UN’s take.     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

  Bub Kuns: Debunking the Bunk, Verifying the Truth 29.09.2026 58Min.

  Mary welcomes back Bub Kuns to talk about the latest in the “Debunked” video series. When it comes to topically exposing lies that enslave, no one does it visually better than Bub and the Reasons for Hope crew. Today we talk about their newest reasoning tool, “The Earth is Flat”. One might wonder how in the world such a theory could gain any traction in such a scientifically rational world in which photographic and scientific evidence quickly and easily destroys such a theory. But what is behind their thinking? Quite possibly simply the word “theory” – and a deep-seated need to distrust any and all of the world’s institutions that some people have decided are decidedly untrustworthy.  So is it even worth it to debate them at all? Some might say no, but what if we peel back the motives and look at why people believe such things, and discover what other questions they might have about things that are eternal? The same ones humans have always had. We also look at the most popular Debunked videos, and the most effective. A fun hour with one of the more creative apologists out there.       Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

  Gary Kah: Enemies of Faith and Freedom 25.09.2026 55Min.

  Gary Kah Mary welcomes Gary Kah back to SUFTT. Gary has been a valued guest of the podcast for many years, warning, exhorting and encouraging Christians to pay attention to globalism, Islam, communism, and general church and culture issues. Today we talk about communism’s rise and how it is reshaping everything about this nation. We also discuss current antisemitism statistics, up considerably since 2023. We talk about voting, and the latest Barna poll indicating that Christians really don’t intend to vote this year or ever. And yet, who IS voting? Muslims, Communists, friends and neighbors without biblical worldviews – so we are abdicating our worldview to them. Sobering, but it’s not just politics as usual today. Who will speak up for our kids in public schools, for the defenseless, for those of us who want to be free to worship and speak about the gospel openly? Plenty to consider in these times. A full hour of insights into our world with Gary.         Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

  Pastor Claude Stauffer: Judgment Calls 24.09.2026 55Min.

  PASTOR CLAUDE STAUFFER On today’s edition of SUFTT, we welcome Pastor Claude Stauffer back to the conversation to talk about the weighty topic of “judgment”. When it comes to “judging” others, subjectively speaking, people have strong opinions on what that should look like. If a believer is making a discernment call about a certain movement or belief system, one that touches close to someone’s heart, they sometimes lash out with “judge not!” As believers, we have no desire or authority to condemn someone eternally, in judgment that belongs to God alone. But the unbeliever doesn’t, cannot, rightly divide that. We don’t know anyone’s heart. But if we further subdivide this topic, some believers don’t even want to hear a discerning thought, biblically based, on why certain teachings or ideologies are truly wrong – and they tie believers’ hands who really do understand the difference between right and almost right. A solid hour with a wise guest who knows his Bible – and brings clarity to an important issue.         Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

  Headlines: Ai Extinction, Midterms, and Globalism 23.09.2026 56Min.

  Tim and Mary take on the current news cycle which is dominated by chatter about the apocalyptic nature of Ai. The Chicken Little bot keeps telling us the sky is falling, but is it? Trump says Ai isn’t harmful, of course on some levels it is, but on an extinction level? And Bill Gates, globalist extraordinaire, has weighed in, all while writing checks to Ai. How about another scenario? Ai extinction, midterms and globalism, oh my – are they related? Quite possible. We talk about fear mongering by you-know-who (the left) who always has to have an apocalypse at the ready, like climate change, viruses, you name it. And since those two are old hat, and electric stoves are OK now, let’s find a new one in time for the mid-terms: Ai’s death wish for humanity. Regulating it. What could possibly go wrong? We explore the possibility that this narrative too is just in time for the Left to save us from ourselves. Again.

  Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson: Turning the Tide in the Origins Debate 22.09.2026 56Min.

  Mary welcomes back the brilliant Nathaniel Jeanson, someone who has taken the origins debate and placed it ahead of the pack. In his forthcoming book, “A New Way to Win”, he outlines the definitive worldview battle based on the state of America since the Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925. At that time, it was illegal to teach evolution in the schools, specifically in Tennessee. John Scopes ultimately lost for teaching evolution, and fined $100. But what we have lost since then is immeasurable, as the legal tactic of the defense, headed by Clarence Darrow, was one of dismantling what he considered the foolish religion of Christianity. As a result, how the case was argued has had ramifications till today. We talk about lawyers vs. detectives, cold cases in the creation debate (are there any?); Darwin’s finches getting new life, and DNA.  Dr. Jeanson’s 26-part YouTube series on “A New History of the Human Race” is a must for history and genealogical geeks. A fascinating hour with a researcher’s researcher and a gift to the church.       Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

  Mark Harris: The Power of Positive Deception 18.09.2026 55Min.

  Note: APOLOGIES FOR THE LATE POST! Mary welcomes the president of Spiritual Counterfeits Project, Mark Harris, to talk about the Success Motivation movement, and how it has lasted so long, and continues to influence the church. Some listeners will remember the likes of Dale Carnegie, Norman Vincent Peale and Robert Schuller – all proponents of this positive thinking type of approach to life. But is it just thinking the right thoughts? Rick Warren has said many times that Schuller was his inspiration for The Purpose Driven Life – a self help book for the ages, selling 50 million copies. We cannot overstate the influence these men had on our collective psyche for the last 100 years. What are the core principles of the SM movement? What are the dangers of being influenced by it? Today’s pervasive mantra, “You’ve got this!” is a similar self-help approach to any difficulty as if that alone is going to solve any problems, self-made or inflicted by life. There is something about this style of positive, name and claim mental gymnastics that has captivated so many  – and we will take a bite out of it today, helping the listener be discerning and careful in what we think about – and trust in.     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

  Evan Liberman: Israel – Resilience Under Fire 17.09.2026 55Min.

  Mary welcomes investment expert Evan Liberman to talk about the resilience of Israel’s economy under the fire of war, and under the microscope of the world. Talking with us live from Israel, we learn about why this is a golden age for Israel’s economy, and how God always seems to have His hand on them. Evan immigrated to Israel 33 years ago, and in 2010, he established Wise Money Israel, the only licensed Israeli wealth management firm that is Jewish believer-staffed and owned. The firm assists individuals and organizations to partner with Israel through investing in Israeli stocks and bonds in shekels. Wise Money manages approximately 400 million shekels in Israeli stock and bond portfolios for hundreds of clients from 35 nations. Beyond his professional work, Evan is a deeply rooted leader in the Land, living daily at the intersection of faith, economy, and national life in Israel. He and his wife Sarah lead a Hebrew-speaking congregation in Israel. Evan sits on the boards of Israel’s largest believer-run humanitarian group, The Joseph Project International, and the believer business economic forum Israel First Fruits. He serves as the Secretary for Israel for the International Messianic Jewish Alliance, and also on the National Steering Committee for Hebrew-speaking Messianic congregations.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

  Headlines: All the King’s Horses, All the King’s Men 16.09.2026 56Min.

  On this edition of SUFTT, Tim and Mary look at the fall of the Judeo/Christian worldview and what is replacing it. Having built the west with its era of personal freedoms and democracy, today's world is looking far less like what we have known and much more like pending tyranny. Islam, Marxism, climate theology and more all point to a completely new world order fit for Antichrist. In fact, Romans 1 also points to this transition clearly. We talk about Britain's massive fall; the differences in worldviews; euthanasia laws coming online in various places. In the children's nursery rhyme, "Humpty Dumpty", we get the pithy inference that some things simply cannot be reversed, cannot be put back together and reach the point of no return. In Christianity, this hints directly at a time of judgment - after which all things are set aright, made new. Come Lord Jesus.     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

  Mary Danielsen: The Acceptable Year, The Day of Vengeance 15.09.2026 55Min.

  Mary takes on the lowly "comma" in today's podcast. A relatively minor punctuation in life that, when placed by the Holy Spirit into the Scriptures, can separate concepts, lists, thoughts - and even years and millennia. Bible prophecy, for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, has given us many things to watch for and understand and in this generation, the clarity comes from what is commonly referred to as "dispensationalism". Today we tour Isaiah 61, Zechariah 9, Isaiah 9. The church was called a "mystery" in the Scriptures, and that is a theme that really helps us understand that it had a start date and will have an end date. What is often called a "parenthetical" segment of time is actually the season in which God calls out a people separate from Israel, and yet grafted in. Oh the glorious ways and means of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob! Learning about some mountain peaks and valleys in prophecy is our goal today. Seeing what the prophets longed to see. Explaining actual "gaps" - but not the "gap theory" which is not according to Scripture. Amazing, our Bible.

  John Haller: Methods to the Madness 11.09.2026 55Min.

  Mary welcomes back John Haller to see if we can begin to figure out the methods behind all the madness out there. In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Polonius remarks to the Prince, "Though this be madness, yet there is method in 't." Wouldn't we all love to look behind the scenes and try to find the switch that shuts down all the insanity? Nothing makes sense anymore, except to the One to Whom it all matters: God, who knows exactly what is going on at all times. For now, we look at not just cultural madness, but geo-political - and we don't need to look far. Turkey, Iran, Ai, blood libels against Israel, treaties and threats and tyrants are all on the stage at once. No wonder we can't always hear the dialogue! But John is here to help us sort a lot of it out through his many contacts, his legal mind, and his ability to connect dots of many things all at once. A full hour of trying to make sense of a lot of seemingly senseless stuff.       Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

  JB Hixson: From Creation to the Culmination – Great Themes of Scripture 10.09.2026 55Min.

  Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to hopefully play a role in stemming the tide of rampant biblical illiteracy.  If social media has accomplished anything, it's been to pull the curtain back on all the would-be influencers and click bait addicts who think they know something about God's grand design when actually many know absolutely nothing but don't want you to know that. Today with JB we take a look at the major themes of the bible: Creation, Conflict, Covenants, Conquests, Captivities, Incarnation, the Cross, the Church and the Culmination of all things. Some might say, all that matters is that we agree on the gospel. Well, it can also be true that the saving gospel comes to us in the fullness of time, but also that much more can and must be learned about how we got there, from the promise in Genesis 3:15 to "it is finished". It's a full and glorious revelation! Let's never forget the whole counsel, the big picture - and study to show ourselves approved.       Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

  Headlines: What Manner of Persons Ought We to Be? 09.09.2026 56Min.

  On today's Headline edition of SUFTT, Tim and Mary look at the anniversary of 9/11. While some still maintain that it was an "inside job" of the US government, we find overwhelming evidence that it was an Islamic attack on the US. What is the one thing we are seeing take place in our nation among all threats? Islamic encroachment of our nation in alarming ways. This makes the conspiracy aspect null and void because, well, they are already "inside". ISLAM is the inside job. And to say that 3000 families were "in on it" is as disturbing as it gets. There are also those who claim that Oct 7 was an inside job - the IDF. Everything is Israel's fault. These are cringe/fringe beliefs at best but even believers get caught up. At any rate, we take some time to take the temperature of our nation 25 years later. We also look at Israel's prep for a wider middle east meltdown, more evidence of Islam in America, and truly, seeing as everything will dissolve, what manner of persons ought we to be at this point? Hint: holy, and godly. An hour to see where we are at and what to do about it- in the end. What truly matters?

  Phill Cochran: Lessons Out of the Blue 08.09.2026 55Min.

  Mary welcomes Retired Lt. Col Phill Cochran who flew the F-16 Fighting Falcon for more than 2 decades. For 23 years he also stood behind the pulpit, preaching and teaching God's Word. In God's classroom, he began to connect the dots among military service, high-performance flight, and deeper spiritual truths. Today we talk about his book, "Lessons Learned at the Speed of Sound", a book of 40 devotionals to encourage and challenge us on such important subjects as grace, repentance, perseverance, correction, joy and sorrow, temptation and hope. Seeing how God weaves our life choices together with His care and sovereignty in our lives is a rich experience, and Phill's story is no less a picture of how our times are truly in His hands, and our walks become fruit of the classrooms into which He puts us. As another school year begins, will we see our schedule of classes as from His loving hand?       Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

  Sheri Few: School Bells, Warning Bells 03.09.2026 55Min.

  Mary welcomes back Sheri Few, Founder and President of United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE), whose mission is to end the U.S. Department of Education and all federal education mandates. USPIE has established 20 state chapters and is growing rapidly amid the national outcry from parents who want to regain control of their children’s education. Today we talk about how to not sleepwalk through the school year, put it in park and just go through the motions. Getting parents engaged and alert, putting their child's education back into their own hands is a worthy goal. As the years blend together, the woke crowd never rests in their goal to indoctrinate children into a destructive and many times evil agenda. How can parents take back public education, on the local level? Is it redeemable at all? Who are the movers and shakers and those who decide what the kids will learn? An important conversation with a true expert on the public schools of today.       Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

  Headlines: The Courage of Convictions in a Confusing World 02.09.2026 55Min.

  Today's news cycle deserves some social/philosophical/matters-of-the-heart type ponderings. The reason for that is, we have all collectively paused what we were occupied with to pay attention to Lindsey Clancy, the blank-eyed premeditated murderer of 3 innocent children. And the jury is locked in what is likely a moral conversation. How can it not be? And in a nation/world that has forgotten God and thereby loosed its moral moorings, things are likely to get even more convoluted because there are no standards. People want to come to the aid and compassion of the murderer in this upside down world, but how did we get here? Time to talk about these things. We also talk about Iran, calling out false teachers without compromise, and natural disasters that are on the uptick. A full hour of varied and sundry takes on this crazy, chaotic world.

  Marziyeh Amirizadeh: Captive in Iran 01.09.2026 55Min.

  Mary welcomes new guest Marziyeh Amirizadeh to talk about the 8 months she spent in a brutal Iranian prison for her faith in Jesus. Born just before the overthrow of the Shah in 1979, the Iran of her parents and grandparents transformed virtually overnight with the rise of the clerics - and strict Sharia law. We learn her story of being arrested for sharing the love of Christ to her fellow Persians and what took place behind the walls of Evin prison, one of the most brutal in the world. Accounts of fellow inmates and the lack of basic amenities paints a picture of a sort of bleak hopelessness that many of us in the West would find intolerable and beyond. But God. And there lies the immensity of her story - the presence of the Lord, the opportunities to bind up the wounds of women living lives of degrading sin and fear.  Being a bright light in the darkest of places. The worldwide outrage. The steadfast faith of Marzi and her friend Maryam will leave you breathless. We talk about the process of getting into such a place, enduring it, and getting out. Then we follow up with her current ministry, New Persia.  Find her books here - you will be changed.       Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

  Mike Gallo: Cancer, Crisis and the Truth That Holds 31.08.2026 54Min.

  NEW PODCAST: Mike Gallo first joined Dave Wager back in the spring of 2025 to share how cancer had affected his life and faith. Now Mike returns with more of the story. More cancer, more physical challenges, and a growing conviction that God has used these difficult seasons to change his priorities, loosen his grip on control, and open unexpected opportunities to serve and encourage a younger generation. Dave and Mike explore what happens when the truth we say we believe is tested by cancer, loss, pain, and the reality of death. They discuss the danger of allowing feelings and circumstances to control our thinking, and why biblical truth needs to be firmly planted before the crisis comes. At the center is the promise of Romans 8:38-39: nothing can separate those who are in Christ from the love of God.
