  Mark Harris: The Power of Positive Deception 18.09.2026 55мин

  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 55мин

  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 56мин

  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 55мин

  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 55мин

  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 55мин

  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 56мин

  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 55мин

  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 55мин

  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 55мин

  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 55мин

  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 54мин

  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.

  Debbie Wuthnow: Midterm Mayhem and Election Anxiety 28.08.2026 55мин

  Mary chats with Debbie Wuthnow of iVoterGuide, a ministry of American Family Association, about the midterms, and the crossroads at which we Americans find ourselves. Thanks to iVoterGuide, we can have access to tremendous amounts of research on all the midterm elections - scorecards, polling places, dates and much more - because an educated electorate benefits our nation. Most people don't realize that primary elections decide the vast majority of races;  if people don’t vote on the ground level, say locally for school boards or in state and national primaries, they can’t truly complain about having lousy candidates. We are leaving our votes outsourced to our neighbor if we don't turn out. Yet primary voting numbers are notoriously low. So here we are, November 3 fast approaching. Thirty-nine state governorships are up for grabs, and flipping the House and Senate are also possibilities. Add Ai into the mix, and Democratic Socialists, and it's easy to see that the face of our nation is changing fast, and not for the best if you are concerned about voting Christian values. WE should be determining who best represents our values, not our neighbor who doesn’t often have a biblical worldview. What are some of the issues? What about Ai, foreign and domestic? Is it the economy? A lot to cover in our pre-midterm chat with Debbie Wuthnow.     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

  Brady Blevins: Transformation Agents – from Spirituality to Sharia 27.08.2026 55мин

  Mary welcomes back Dr. Brady Blevins of Watchman Fellowship to talk about the more diverse and interesting ways our culture and the church are being transformed. Burning Man, which starts this weekend, is the most visible example of what are called "Transformational Festivals". What are they transforming? Themselves? The culture at large? Attendees seem to think they are practicing the future, a future of pagan, New Age, cosmic consciousness - a utopia of inclusiveness, earth worship, and paganism - in which adherents look within and find a god. Not THE God, of course, Who is outside of His creation. We talk about all those things they say and believe that we understand will of course lead to massive deception and delusion. Then we discuss another kind of transformation - in our cities and towns - the encroachment of radical Islam. What is Sharia Law? Is it codified or something much more insidious and dangerous? A full hour with the senior apologist at Watchman Fellowship.

  Headlines: Postcards from Babel 26.08.2026 55мин

  Tim and Mary take on the news cycle with a bit of a twist: living large in the last days, Babylon style. We talk about the change of seasons and how that brings a reality to the times. The nature of worship today is certainly one of the changes we have waded through, but not just to add to the conversation about it, rather perhaps put a finger on the problem: subjectivity. In the pursuit of making sure the Holy Spirit shows up to our gatherings, we have all but stopped worshiping in Spirit AND in truth: with our minds and our hearts. We talk about the hymn culture that produced doctrine and how that leads us in worship. Then we look at being ambassadors for Christ, doing the King's bidding in our service, not our own or even for our own earthly home. Finally, how some are paying the price for serving the King wherever they might find themselves. Hello from Babylon, wish you were here...but there's no place like home.

  Jeff Kinley: Anchoring a Generation Through Prophecy 25.08.2026 55мин

  Mary welcomes back Jeff Kinley to talk about bringing hope to our kids - through bible prophecy. Back in the 70s and 80s, the youth were clamoring for more information about Jesus' return. It anchored us, gave us hope and caused us to look beyond the troubles and fleeting sense that all humans experience. Then what happened? Churches stopped teaching prophecy. The rapture became a comedic, scoffing byline - and with all that the sense of hope that our youth could rise above the floodwaters of a chaotic and dying world. Today we talk to Jeff about his Future Hope Student/Youth conferences. What are the goals and hopes of reaching out to our kids once again with the blessed hope? Why is it that so many told churches to stop talking about prophecy, and scaring the kids? We make the case that while sobering, "scary" should never be any reason to cut a big chunk of Scripture out of our kids' lives - and our own. We also catch up with the Prophecy Pro's Conferences. A thoughtful hour of hope and help.       Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

  J Warner Wallace: Identity Crisis – Christ or Culture? 14.08.2026 55мин

  Mary welcomes back premier apologist J. Warner Wallace to talk about our identity in Christ, and our identity in Christ in -  America. He enjoys asking his audiences questions like " Why Are You a Christian?" and "Why Aren't You a Christian?". The answers to those simple questions tell him and us a lot about the state of the church today. Our identity is everything. In Christ it's "received, not achieved". But in the culture it might be based on your identity politics, your social, economic and educational status, or your appearance - and a host of other qualifiers. In Christ, we already should know who we are based on Who He is, and that should set the stage for everything we say and do. Does it? Why is the church having an identity crisis then, because the Bible tells us all about Whom we worship and how to live. But we are so busy deconstructing, taking dominion, and worrying about who is in charge of the world that we just forget who we are and what the church is for. And then there is social media where we are all grappling to state and defend our own identity. A full hour of reasoning together on the church's identity crisis here in 2026.       Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

  Mary Danielsen: From the Upper Room to the End of the Age 13.08.2026 55мин

  What is dispensationalism? What is the alternate view, covenant theology? Many Christians don't understand why dispensationalism is being attacked with such vigor; perhaps those doing the attacking don't either but the prevailing mood today is, there is no rapture or at least not one that takes the Christians out of the world before judgment. And Israel? Well, they aren't even in the picture and what's more, that's not Israel over in, well, Israel. On today's SUFTT, Mary starts with biblical interpretive systems of prophecy and from there expands on the really big picture of dispensationalism and how it beautifully fits the historical-grammatical-literal interpretation of Scripture. Are we seeing the church age wrap up and the Day of the Lord commence? We look at the history of the Jews, the Temples that have come and gone and why; and why the rapture is as important to us as it would be to Israel. A full hour of fascinating bunny trails. Hippity hop!     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

  Headlines: Ideas Have Consequences – When Ideologies Engage 12.08.2026 56мин

  In today's news cycle, what is drawing the most attention is competing ideologies: Islam, Communism, Darwinism - and even Ai? Is that an ideology, or just a basket of algorithms? We talk about all these movements that are converging on our world all at once. Meanwhile, the Christian voice is being drowned out, by design - and yet, as Gamaliel famously said in Acts 5:38-39, " And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing;  but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found to fight against God.” And all these ideologies do just that - fight against God. But God is on the throne, we read the end of the book and we know who wins. So how can we come against all these philosophies of men and still be heard? The still small voice of God that Elijah heard still saves - one heart at a time. What can man do to me? A timely discussion of ideologies and elections and when it all comes to nothing.

  JB Hixson: Don’t Just Do Something, Stand There! 11.08.2026 55мин

  Dr. JB Hixson Mary welcomes pastor and author JB Hixson back to SUFTT to talk about toning down the chaos and pressure and spending time in the Lord's presence. Life used to pace like a slow-cooker ("crock pot" for all you Boomer/Millennial types) but now it's a pressure cooker, no longer even the front burner or microwave. Faster doesn't mean better, and in the spiritual realm of things, faster and with a side of drama produces not much except Christianity Lite. Today we pace ourselves through 1 Kings 19 and the drama that was the life of Elijah at times. Having just gone through a tumult with the prophets of Baal, he finds himself in need of rest before he can go on. By the time he gets to that cave in Horeb, he's depleted and depressed and wondering what's next. It's then that the Lord speaks to him, but in that still small way that we hear when the Spirit is working in hearts. After letting him pour out his heart, God sends him on his way. It's not by might, nor by power, but by His Spirit.       Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A
