Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

Mary welcomes back Kyle Peart and Flynn Huseby of Once Lost Ministries to take an overview approach to the book of Hebrews. Jesus clearly had no respect for the religious leaders of His day as He takes on the pharisees in Matthew 23, exposing their hypocrisy and legalism for all time. His very ministry was the polar opposite of the religious systems’ approach to coming to God through another mediator, one that usurps His ministry of grace alone, through faith alone, through HIM alone.  That message still being lost on subsequent religions large and small, we continue to fight the good fight of rightly dividing the Word and exchanging our filthy rags of works for His righteousness. We talk about that very thing that shines so brightly about this book of the Bible, the themes and what we can glean for our own lives. Flynn’s thorough article, “The Book of Hebrews Vs. the Roman Catholic Church” can be found here. A full hour with sound apologists who daily fight the good fight for truth and point us directly to the finished work of the cross.

Mary welcomes Dr. and Pastor Michael Spaulding of Calvary Chapel Lima, Ohio to discuss his new book, “Replacement Theology: It’s Root, Fruit and Consequences for Jewish People and the Nation of Israel”. This is a definitive text and in-depth work on the genesis and results of claiming the church has replaced Israel in the realm of the promises of God. Those in the media today who say that that nation is not legitimate and the Jews are fake Jews still manage to blame the Jews that they claim don’t exist for everything wrong in the world, a standard they would never hold other nations to. We talk about the unbiblical assumptions of Replacement Theology, the mystery of the church, and the damage done to Bible prophecy in total when RT is embraced. Why don’t RT adherents love what God loves, ie, Israel? Why does Reform Theology especially teach this, and what is the Catholic/Augustinian connection? A thoughtful hour with someone who has truly thought this through.

Another headline cycle gets us deeper into a kind of darkness that is truly astonishing. The world is reeling from the effects of the Mideast war that morphs from day to day and is dividing our nation. Why? Is it because the party that gave so much money to Iran doesn’t want the party trying to fix it to win? It’s complex, and we don’t know how it’s going to end. God knows. We also look at a goodly list of all the ways the signs are converging, so when taken as a whole picture, imperfect as it is for now, we can conclude things are never going back to some other world. How long, O Lord? If you took communion last weekend, you know how important it is to commemorate what He did; but it also ties us to what He will be doing when He comes. Proclaiming the Master’s death – TILL HE COMES. News cycles come and go but His Word remains.

Dr. JB Hixson

Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to explore the topic of the attributes of God and how the knowledge of the One we worship gives us stability, wisdom, and an understanding of Whom we worship. The church often misrepresents God, and yet how can that be with all the revealed knowledge available to us in the Scriptures? And yet even knowing that He is perfect in all His ways, just, righteous and unchanging, we still find ways to lean on our own understanding in so many of OUR ways. In fact, the more we understand His nature, the more we fall on our knees in gratitude that He has provided a way to be reconciled to Him, despite the fact that we are fallen and completely opposite of Him in our natural selves. In fact, the more we know Him the more this verse becomes astonishing: “…His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” (1Peter 1:4). We say it a lot, but we serve a mighty God and we have a mighty bright future.

Today, on Stand Up For The Truth, host Dave Wager teaches from the account of Judas betraying Jesus, using it as a mirror for our own hearts. He walks through Matthew 26 and challenges the assumption that Judas was uniquely flawed, asking whether we fall into the same trap, expecting life and even God to revolve around us. Dave emphasizes that everything begins with God, not us, and that our role is not to be needed, but to recognize the privilege of being wanted and included in His plan. He draws a clear line between living for self, comfort, or money, and living in alignment with God’s purposes, warning that misplaced expectations can quietly lead to compromise, just as they did with Judas.

He then connects Judas’ betrayal to a broader warning about sin and misplaced trust, especially in money and personal gain. Using everyday illustrations, including his own struggle with donuts, Dave explains how sin promises satisfaction but leaves regret, often too late to undo the consequences. He stresses that obedience to God is the true expression of love for Him, and that ignoring God’s direction leads to eventual remorse. The message closes with a sober reminder: we will all stand before God honestly, without spin, and the choices we make now matter. The call is simple and direct, know God, listen to Him, and walk in obedience today, before there is a “Judas moment” you can’t take back.
