Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

On today’s news cycle podcast, Tim and Mary look at all the things that seem to be cascading at once – American elections, Israeli election results and the current hostility toward the Jewish state; governments around the world urging people to stockpile basics, Iran, the global economy. How much more can we even watch, let alone comprehend? The world is tense – and the worldly answer to attempting to exercise a modicum of control isn’t to just let things play out, or even to trust God with it all; the answer seems to be just place your bets on anything and everything and come out on top. But for the believer, we trust, often knowing nothing. Win, lose or draw – and when things go sideways as well –  we trust a God Who is not surprised by anything, and urge and exhort others to do so too. His ways are not our ways, and we should be grateful for that because humans ruin everything they touch. So even if we know the electoral outcomes, we still really don’t know anything, except that He is on the throne. A full hour of staying alert, armed with hope and brimming with cheer.

[Apologies for the late posting] On Tuesday’s edition of SUFTT, Mary takes a look at what it means to “rightly divide the Word” and warns of a 90+ year old movement that is rearing its head in the church. “Mid Acts Dispensationalism”, or “hyper-dispensationalism” is causing untold doctrinal damage in the church again, and reaping confusion and false hermeneutics – and the only thing it is “rightly dividing” is the brethren. We look first of all at some definitions; what is dispensationalism? Why is it considered the best historical/grammatical approach to understanding the bible? Then we look at the finer points of the “hyper-” or “ultra-” versions and compare. Once we understand what they really teach, if we are approached by a brother or sister who wants to know if we understand what it means to “rightly divide”, we won’t be sucked into this aberration of dispensationalism, and be caught with our discernment down. In addition, if one’s church is taken over by their aggressiveness, we will know how to approach that issue as well. Then we take a fresh look at “Red Letter” Christians, and the deeper problems with their approach to dividing the Word. A full hour to equip you to stay the course and study to show ourselves approved.

This week is Q Drive at Q90 FM! Tuesday (10/27/26) Crash sits down with Stand Up for the Truth hosts Mary Danielsen and Pastor Tim Danielsen to talk about why biblical truth matters more than ever. From growing threats to religious freedom and free speech to digital surveillance, Bible prophecy, and false teaching in the church, the conversation covers the issues Christians need to understand. They also share what goes into researching topics, vetting guests, and standing firm on the authority of God’s Word, regardless of the cost.

With Stand Up for the Truth reaching listeners across the country and around the world, Mary and Tim reflect on the ministry’s impact, memorable guests, and the responsibility of equipping believers with biblical discernment. You’ll also hear why Q90 FM’s commitment to “Truth at Any Cost” requires faithful financial support. We’re raising funds for the first half of 2027, and your partnership helps keep this listener-supported ministry on the air. Give securely at q90fm.com/pledge or call 800-979-9010.

On the first half of today’s SUFTT, Mary welcomes back Todd Nettleton of Voice of the Martyrs to remind the listener that we are approaching another International Day of Prayer for Persecuted Christians. We discuss the current state of the persecuted church around the world; restricted regions and active hotspots. We talk about the goal of having all churches pray for our persecuted brethren around the world and other ways we can practically help them despite being separated by long distances –  and how prayer changes things.  Then in the 2nd half, we carry the subject forward by looking at the storm of persecution brewing in the West through the systematic destruction of the Judeo/Christian worldview. Both Canada and the UK have seen an uptick in legal pressures and anti-Christian bias that is now labeled “hate”, and as such, those who are targeted could be open to potential prosecution. An eye-opening hour for believers in the West who need to have their wits about them as things grow ever darker.

Mary welcomes Autumn Christensen to discuss Her Plan – a hands-and-feet approach to being pro-life. There seems to be a disconnect in the church between being pro-life by conviction and finding opportunities to bring practical hope in real time. Christians often think the only way to show that conviction is to protest somewhere, when actually there are organizations in place to provide for the needs of women who are in dire straits with an unplanned pregnancy, combined with no support group or perhaps mired in poverty and homelessness. Important research has shown that if women had actual resources to see the pregnancy through, around 2/3 of them say they would reconsider abortion. With so many disenfranchised people in the world, this should not be a surprise – and government organizations are not the solution. Rather, charities and ministries have the people and resources to help find ways to meet the needs of women desperately in need of answers. Autumn is the executive director of Her Plan, and chats with us about the myriad of ways we can put our pro-life convictions into real action, meeting the needs of real people, showing the love of Jesus.

Mary welcomes back Pastor Mike Spaulding of Calvary Chapel of Lima Ohio to talk about the changing face of an unchanging gospel. How do we navigate profound cultural changes and stay the course? And not only stay the course but exhort others to as well? Change is the one constant, it would appear. With that in mind, we discuss some weighty things with Pastor Mike, such as sound doctrine, political engagement and the church, pastors and their reputations, and how to steady the ship here in 2026. There are so many things tugging at us all, but shouldn’t church be safe, painless, and uncompromising? On paper, yes of course. In practice, with people’s sensibilities today, is it even possible? And if we got a letter from Paul, or John, what might it say? Or maybe we can queue up in the Laodicean line, a prophecy that is easier and easier to comprehend the closer we get to His return. A challenging hour for the church, in real time and on today’s edition of SUFTT.

The news cycle of the last several days serves to tell us that the world in its current form is becoming very unstable, especially where the West is concerned. Watching riots break our all over France is disturbing enough, but that uneasy feeling that this is only the beginning is possibly the most unsettling because of who is behind all the violence. On today’s edition of SUFTT, we look at the list of agitators who are being assembled and sufficiently agitated to burn France to the ground. Whatever narrative was originally floated to explain the riots last week was, not surprisingly, mostly false. Will this spread to the US? Well, look at the elections and be very concerned. We also look at what the bible says is in Europe’s future, a global leader who will promise to quell the insanity. Also today we talk about Obama’s outrageous anti-Israel comments in Belfast, blaming the Jews for France’s nightmare, and why speaking against Israel is trendy – but morally irresponsible.

Mary welcomes JB Hixson back to the podcast to talk about how Christianese often ventures into platitudes and fridge magnets, and from time to time, just absolute contextual disasters. Back in 2016, a book was published about things Jesus “never said”, followed by a raft of memes that were alternately funny and cringe-worthy. And unfortunately, even these, without discernment, are all over the doctrinal map. What’s to keep the publisher from releasing “Things Jesus Never Said: Cult Edition”? Instead, we look at some sayings that just don’t make the cut of biblical truth. Does God help those who help themselves? Is all truth God’s truth? Then we look at the Hallmark-card-friendly Jeremiah 29:11 and 2 Chronicles 7:14, checking into the context of 2 passages that are constantly misapplied. We might just challenge some long held presumptions today.

Here’s some of what we tackled:

1. “You’ve got to wear your Sunday best.”

Mary welcomes back filmmakers Mark and Amber Archer to discuss their 5th documentary film, “Principalities: Doctrines of Demons”.  It examines the spiritual warfare behind the cultural, educational, political and ideological battles we are witnessing today. Through firsthand testimony, interviews, and primary-source footage, they examine competing doctrines and worldviews, particularly their influence on children, families, the Church, and society. What a lot of us in the west fail to grasp is that what we see in this world, the architecture and infrastructure of politics, fame, societal issues and culture, has as it’s underpinning spiritual values; a worldview. The kingdom of Light vs the kingdom of darkness – and the spoils are the souls of men. This goes on unabated, around the clock, whether we perceive it or not. So where is the front line of the battle? Our kids, our doctrine, our discernment, our biblical literacy, our vigilance. A great hour of encouragement to stay in the war, so much is at stake in this late hour.

Some of our listeners might remember the intro to the black-and-white classic, “Outer Limits”, in which the narrator told the viewer that what you are seeing, while bizarre, does not indicate a problem with the messenger, that big old console television “set”. But rather, an outside force that exists independently from your moderated TV reality is doing things you might not understand. And truly, 60 years later, there are things going on that the average person does NOT understand. And that TV set will not help them.  Only true spiritual light from the Holy Spirit will brighten our path and our understanding. As believers, we not only should have a basic grasp of events, but even the knowledge of how they all fit together. Now is not the time for a normality bias, but to understand our world –  that is headed for judgment. On today’s headlines podcast, we talk about a first time ever religious gathering of all religions of the world. There have been many such confabs claiming to unite the world, but not quite like this one. We also look at the unhinged conversation that the Mayor of Seattle had with any scoffers who might listen in, that the Jews and Christians – and technocrats – are going to bring us all kicking and screaming into Armageddon. Another topic: Elon Musk and his ancestral technocratic dreams. And speaking of unhinged, El Sayed wants to ban any Sharia bans in America. Fun times.
