Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

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.

[Originally aired 1/22/26] Mary welcomes back Trey Dellinger, the Senior Legal Fellow of AFA Action, the government affairs affiliate of American Family Association. Trey has his finger on the pulse of the moral issues that affect our churches and our families. Today we look at the current SCOTUS cases on trans athletes in women’s sports. Trey gives us the rundown on those cases and why he has reason for optimism. Then we look at the first amendment as it relates to protesters storming churches. Whether it’s for attention or to bait Christians about race and their perspectives on what is important, we have to see what our rights are as believers. We also take a look at how our kids can be better protected online, since parents aren’t always the best gatekeepers – although that is their job. Finally we look at Human Trafficking Prevention month. So many moral issues, how do we keep up, and how can we help pastors keep up as well?

For the first half of today’s edition of SUFTT, Mary welcomes Chris Chiles, director of the Immediate Response Team of God’s Pit Crew who are in Wisconsin to bring hope and relief to the Fox Valley to those suffering the aftermath of adverse weather.  Having dispatched multiple tractor-trailer loads of critical relief supplies from their HQ in Danville, Virginia, they are now in the process of clearing, comforting, and rebuilding. We talk about the ministry in general, what it takes to be able to offer their services at no charge to a community, and how they bring Jesus to those who lost everything in the blink of an eye.  Chris has such a heart for people, and the ministry has impacted lives around the globe. Also, where else are they needed this year, in a Summer of record heat, rain and wind? How can we come alongside them? Then in our 2nd half, Mary covers a few of the day’s top stories of interest to the believer.

Mary welcomes Bill McKeever, longtime student and expert on Mormonism to the podcast, to give the listener a refresher on all things Mormon. With today’s emphasis on Mormonism being just another branch of Christianity, this gives an opportunity to have a clearer understanding of what they believe. We might hear the details once or twice, but many of us haven’t had time or inclination to really understand it. But most of us have or will encounter Mormons or Mormonism in the course of our Christian walk and so whatever we can glean from someone who has studied it for decades will probably prove to be useful. We discuss the main teachings, starting with their doctrine about the nature of God and Jesus; salvation, atonement, the priesthood, eternity, and so much more. Bill’s extensive understanding of this movement gives us an opportunity to sharpen our discernment.

Tim and Mary talk about two very timely, and ancient destinies: the modern EU, destined to bring forth antichrist, and Israel, destined for redemption through Jesus Christ. The EU is at a crossroads in that the world sees it as a supranational failure of bureaucracy and potential tyranny. Israel has neighbor problems, but they will not only do what they must to survive, they will continue to pursue a Temple, and await the Messiah. The Sanhedrin met recently to petition heaven to reveal her Messiah and rebuild that third Temple. They also want the spirit of prophecy revived, but Jesus IS their Prophet, Priest, and King. What a time to be alive, to see these parallel tracks of fulfillment come ever closer to one another. The future is set by God Himself, and we are at the edge of our seats. Another full hour of watching and waiting, observing and monitoring. Come Lord Jesus!
