- Mike Gendron: Catholics – Inoculated Against the Truth
Mary welcomes back Mike Gendron today to discuss Catholicism and this vast mission field of over 1 billion souls. If you have been raised in that tradition and come to true faith, you know how difficult it is to evangelize them. Why is this? The average Catholic has one string on their guitar: “I’m basically a good person.” By whose standard? And by putting their faith in this one basket, how can we as believers help them see that being wrong about this, about salvation, is to be wrong forever? Mike helps us sort out how to lovingly, compassionately share the truth with Catholics and get their nose in the Scripture. Also discussed: the Pope, FOX News and it’s chronic Catholic cheerleading, and the canonization of a teenager who died in 2006. What is it that makes this sort of religiosity palatable to today’s religious cynic? A full hour with Mike that will challenge and confirm the importance of the faith once delivered to the (real) saints of the Most High.

From Stand Up For The Truth research team:
Here are some areas where the Catholic Catechism is often seen as departing from a purely biblical foundation:
1. Authority of Tradition & the Magisterium- Catechism (CCC 80-82, 85): Catholicism teaches that divine revelation comes from both Scripture and Tradition, and that the Church’s Magisterium (Pope and bishops) has the authority to interpret both.
- Biblical Challenge: Protestants argue that the Bible alone is the final authority (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Matthew 15:3-9) and reject extra-biblical traditions as authoritative.
2. The Role of Mary- Catechism (CCC 491, 494, 966, 971, 2677): Catholicism teaches that Mary was immaculately conceived (without sin), remained perpetually a virgin, was assumed bodily into heaven, and can intercede for believers.
- Biblical Challenge: The Bible states that “all have sinned” (Romans 3:23), never explicitly teaches Mary’s perpetual virginity (Matthew 1:24-25), and does not mention her bodily assumption. Additionally, Christ is the only mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5).
3. Salvation by Grace & Works- Catechism (CCC 1987-2029): Catholic doctrine teaches that salvation is initially by grace but involves cooperation with God through faith, works, and the sacraments.
- Biblical Challenge: Many Protestants cite Ephesians 2:8-9, which states salvation is “by grace… through faith, not by works.” Romans 4:5 and Galatians 2:16 emphasize justification apart from the law.
4. The Sacraments as Necessary for Salvation- Catechism (CCC 1129, 1257): The Catholic Church teaches that the sacraments (such as baptism and the Eucharist) are necessary for salvation.
- Biblical Challenge: While baptism and communion are important, the Bible presents salvation as a matter of faith in Christ (John 3:16; Acts 16:31). The thief on the cross was saved without sacraments (Luke 23:42-43).
5. Purgatory & Prayers for the Dead- Catechism (CCC 1030-1032, 1472): Catholicism teaches that purgatory is a place of purification before entering heaven and that prayers for the dead can help souls be freed from temporal punishment.
- Biblical Challenge: The Bible does not explicitly teach purgatory. Hebrews 9:27 states that after death comes judgment, with no mention of an intermediate purification. Christ’s sacrifice is sufficient (John 19:30, Hebrews 10:14).
6. The Papacy & Apostolic Succession- Catechism (CCC 882, 936-937): The Pope is seen as the successor of Peter and the supreme authority over the Church.
- Biblical Challenge: While Peter was a leader, the Bible does not establish a single, infallible ruler over the Church (Matthew 23:8-10). Christ is the true head (Colossians 1:18), and leadership is shared among elders (1 Peter 5:1-3).
7. The Eucharist (Transubstantiation)- Catechism (CCC 1374-1377): Catholicism teaches that during the Mass, the bread and wine become the literal body and blood of Christ.
- Biblical Challenge: Jesus spoke metaphorically about being the bread of life (John 6:35), and at the Last Supper, He often used figurative language (Luke 22:19-20). Many believe the Lord’s Supper is symbolic (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).
These points are the main areas where the Catechism is often challenged by those who adhere strictly to the Bible.

56 min - Headlines, by the Numbers: Mega Churches, Exploding Tech, Big Brother
Headline Day is always a process. A process of how to decide what stories have the most merit, and what stories can wait. There is no easy way, and this podcast is no different. So what made the cut? Well, if “weird” counts as a measure of importance, this headline is downright freakish and I think we can all agree on that part: exploding pagers. No, you can’t make that up. What happened anyway? What door of terror does this open up in the scheme of global things? Does this fit the category of “perilous times”. Yes, in spades. Welcome to a new version of warfare. Also on the schedule today, talking about the megachurch model. What need does that fill in Christendom? Any? What have we learned over the last couple decades of bigger=better? A thought provoking subject to be sure. Also, some random Big Brother hijinx. Be not unaware of the times, my brethren. It gets bumpy from here.

56 min - Replay – Josh Parise: Sexual Idoltory And Its Role in Human Trafficking
Nate Danser
[Original airdate: 9/11/23] Terra Koslowski and Josh Parise, Founder/Director or Ephesians 5 Ministries talk with Nate Danser, Vice President for Ministry Outreach at Pure Life Ministries about the connection of pornography addiction and the demand for human trafficking. Human trafficking is the second largest criminal industry in the world. In order to eradicate it, we must address the demand and issues contributing to the demand. Many people want to join the fight against human trafficking, but don’t realize that their own secret sinful behaviors, might be part of creating the problem. Sexual sin is prevalent in the church, but those involved tend to struggle in secret believing the lie that it’s a harmless small sin. Nothing could be further from the truth! It is a serious issue that destroys lives, families, churches, and victimizes others. Nate has served at Pure Life Ministries since 2009 after finding healing from habitual sexual sin in their residential program in Dry Ridge, KY. In addition to discipling other men through their recovery journeys, Nate oversees audio and video production and social media for Pure Life Ministries as well as hosting their weekly podcast, Purity of Life.

56 min - Replay – Chris Quintana: Pre-Packaged Bible Studies, Hate-Filled Campuses, The Peace and Safety of Israel
[Original airdate: 4/26/24] Mary welcomes back Chris Quintana live in studio to talk about a particularly troubling pulpit “curriculum” that teaches that the answer to spiritual maturity issues in the churches is “emotionally healthy spirituality”. Who is the author of this program, and what are his beliefs? Is it something churches can benefit from or should they run for their “spiritual” lives? We address recent concerns on it. Also, we talk to Chris about the antisemitism on campuses that shows no sign of letting up, and how authorities seem to be clueless on how to stem the tide of hate. There is no other group or culture that the tolerant left would allow to be shown such rancour – except Christians, of course. Are these evil mobs really terrorists at heart? Also, in Ezekiel we look at the “peace and safety” clause of the timing of the Gog and Magog war. You can find Chris online here; you can also subscribe to his YouTube channel and stay current on all his bible studies. No video podcast will be available for today’s show.

56 min - David Bowen: Challenges to the Church
Mary chats with pastor, author and evangelist David Bowen of Lamb and Lion Ministries about the challenges to the church in these times. Does the church at large believe we are in the last days? There are many unbelievers that sense things are spiraling downward, without a prophetic book or star to guide them into that opinion. But the church? Who is teaching prophecy, providing understanding and a firm foundation in eschatology, that we can pass along some answers to the unchurched? Some of the other challenges the church faces are liberal theology, sorting out Israel, biblical illiteracy. Pastor David will help us sort out the need for hope and understanding – and keeping up – with so much that vies for our attention. His articles can also be found on Harbingers Daily.

56 min - Replay – Bill Cook: Calling America’s Black Robed RegimentPlay Episode
[Original airdate: 5/11/21] TODAY’S GUEST is Reverend William (Bill) Cook, Founder and Executive Director of America’s Black Robe Regiment of Virginia, a clergy-led movement of Christian “Minutemen” actively committed to restoring the Foundations of Liberty in America, and the Pulpit’s Founding legacy as Wellspring of the political ideology that ignited a Revolution to “secure the Blessings of Liberty” to itself and its posterity.
A former pastor who also worked for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), you can contact Bill by email here: [email protected]
We discuss forgotten history of Christian church leaders, the “Black Robe Regiment,” and their impact on our Founders and freedoms in America; the growing movement of patriot pastors who refuse to back down from the lies of the enemy and threats to religious freedom.
“The situation in America is so dire, if the church doesn’t rise up prior to this election, we’re going to have genocide. Every single place where communism or Islam have gained the upper hand, there’s been genocide.”
“Pastors, if you will not preach an election sermon, then you can’t claim you are willing to preach the whole counsel of God.”
The Bible says that God established civil government for the express purpose of punishing evildoers and protecting the good that we may live peaceably in all Godliness. When a government becomes perverted, we are not obliged to unlimited submission.” Bill Cook

54 min - Replay – Patriot Pastor Dan Fisher: Proclaim Truth, Equip the Saints, Resist TyrannyPlay Episode
[Original airdate: 3/28/22] TODAY’S GUEST is Dan Fisher, co-pastor at Fairview Baptist Church, Edmond, OK. He served two terms in the OK Legislature and also ran for governor. Dan Fisher travels the country presenting “Bringing Back the Black Robed Regiment” – a multi-media production where he tells the amazing, true story of 18th century Patriot Pastors who led the men of their congregations and communities to fight for liberty in America’s War of Independence.
We discuss the importance of pastors re-engaging, ESG scores (Environmental, Social, Governance), federalism, Romans 13, Liberty Pastors (equipping and training godly men & church leaders), and of course, religious freedom.
Unlimited Submission? – book by Dan Fisher: How often have you heard a Christian pastor/bible teacher declare that Romans 13:1-5 requires Christians to submit to their governmental leaders – no matter what, and that they are sinning if they don’t? For years, spiritual leaders have been shackling believers with a flawed interpretation of Romans 13:1-5 – especially as to how it applies to citizens living in a republic like ours.
