Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

Mary welcomes back John Haller to get a glimpse of where his depth of research has him this week. While it seems that things are raging out of control on many fronts — there’s no reason to believe that is not absolutely true. Turkey: are they saying they are technically at war with Israel? This week brings us a sound byte that says they want to control Jerusalem; another says that Israel is destabilizing the entire region. They sure have a lot to say about everything and we wonder how much of it is even true. As to who is friends with whom and who is an enemy in the region among Russia, Turkey, Syria and Lebanon, it is difficult to say.  We also talk about Ai backlash – I call it a summer “Hate Wave” – what is really going on behind the scenes? Have people had enough of these oligarchs running their future? Data Clouds: what are those, and why.  Massive amounts of money are being thrown around among competitors for cloud data but maybe they are all on the same side.  People are feeling like it is out of control on a massive scale, and the church has stopped caring or discerning.  Will there be fuel shortages this summer? Warnings are out there that by mid July there could be rationing. Then there is Iran: why is it no one can follow what is going on? Are all the confusing headlines by design, and why does it seem Trump doesn’t even have a handle on it? Today’s edition of SUFTT is an attempt to bring order to global chaos. Is it possible?

Today’s news cycle continues on its merry way in forcing politics and politicians to the forefront of everything, and what happens then of course is the truly significant stories just don’t get any airing. In our ongoing effort to do an end run around all the temporal things the media thinks we want to hear about, once again we bring things around to prophecy and eternal things. Today we look at Spielberg’s “Disclosure” film which opens this week. The real show for believers is what he is saying about the church and his attempts to cause us to “question our beliefs” about how many gods might be out there. Which would be laughable if he weren’t so sincerely arrogant about it. Should Christians bother to see it? That depends. We also look at Elon Musk’s opinion that technology is “Jesus level” stuff.  Meanwhile, down under, the believers are laying low. Is that an option, regardless of the personal cost? We also do a follow up on the Don Lemon invasion of that St. Paul church service. Double standards all around. Lots to talk about on this week’s headline episode of SUFTT.

Mary welcomes back Executive Director of the Lindell Recovery Network, Melissa Huray to talk about our identity in Christ. The culture is obsessed with identity based on politics, race, creed and a host of other invented and invested notions that cause us to become and belong. And it is all too easy for believers to just fall into line and take on and become not only what and who WE think we are, but also what others think we are. After all, how are we ever going to get along with the culture if we don’t dance to their tune? But as believers, we are not to be conformed to this world in any way. How to break free from that, this is what is important. Christ in me is to live; we are HIS workmanship, not each others’.  For those who have spent any time at all in ministry, there is an expectation to perform and be perfect or at least meet everyone’s needs. But the Bible says otherwise. Jesus is our all in all.  An hour dedicated to our internal freedom in Christ.

Today, it’s a new podcast, host Dave Wager welcomes Brenda Bertram and Mike Jewell from Family Connect Wisconsin, a ministry dedicated to connecting struggling families with churches, businesses, and community members who can help meet practical needs. Drawing from their own experiences with foster care and family challenges, they share how Family Connect works alongside schools, social workers, and local agencies to support children and families facing difficult circumstances.

Mike and Brenda explain how Family Connect uses the CarePortal platform to connect vetted family needs with churches and volunteers who are ready to help. From clothing and furniture to relational support and encouragement, the ministry creates opportunities for local churches to serve as the hands and feet of Christ while helping families remain stable and connected within their communities.

The conversation highlights the important role churches can play in caring for vulnerable families and children. Dave, Mike, and Brenda discuss the vision of equipping local congregations to meet needs more effectively, strengthening communities through practical service, and expanding Family Connect’s reach across Wisconsin so more families can experience hope, support, and meaningful relationships.

Mary welcomes Thomas Littleton to this edition of SUFTT to talk about the descent into compromise over LGBTQ inclusion theology in conservative – yes, conservative – churches. Thomas Littleton is an ordained Southern Baptist minister and evangelist with over 4 1/2 decades on the streets of such places as New Orleans, Atlanta, and New York City (while in New York he worked with David Wilkerson’s Times Square Church, author of The Cross and the Switchblade). He has also done extensive outreach at America’s beaches, university campuses, and foreign fields of Eastern and Western Europe and Central and South America. He has a long history engaging the Arts and LGBT community through heading a Christian Arts based ministry in NW Georgia and worked on the front lines of the AIDS health crisis of the mid 80s and 90s. Littleton knows the origins, methods and goals of the LGBTQ activist movement and the faithful Biblical response for believers anchored in the power of the Gospel by the CROSS and resurrection of Jesus. We talk about his fight for truth over the last dozen years to hold high the standard of the gospel and the truth that can transform any sinner by the power of the Holy Spirit.
