Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

[From June 10, 2025] Mary welcomes back Olivier Melnick to discuss the new normal: antisemitism. He is a Jewish believer in Jesus from France, the son of Holocaust survivors, whose maternal grandfather was killed by the Nazis. Olivier is an internationally known speaker on antisemitism. He holds a BA from Moody Bible Institute and a masters from Dallas Theological Seminary, and has been equipping believers to understand and fight antisemitism since 2000. The ramping up of antisemitism is a complete surprise to some, it’s not that long ago that they were the target of genocide during WW2, and if anyone alive has a parent who fought in that war, the connection is still strong. So why now? How are things different? Today we talk about the stages of normalization from his book, “The Normalization of Antisemitism”. World leaders are not so subtly being drawn into this hate as the world turns their back on Israel. Words matter. Words turn to violence. Even our neighbor to the north is being drawn in. Israel can do nothing right, so they might as well do what they are going to do to stave off the end of the west through violence, immigration, and Islam.

Mary welcomes back author, prophecy student and researcher Scott Townsend to talk about the converging and stage setting that is exploding, intensely, all around us. Maybe alien disclosure conversation is uncomfortable but there is value to at least enter the chat on some level because the world is talking about it, and in terms of the church no less. What does a Hollywood director understand about the church? Not much it turns out. Something big is coming nevertheless, and we need to be ready as a church, and as individuals. What does that look like, and will we be so exhausted by nonsensical headlines that we miss the forest for the trees? We also talk about Ai and since it is blazing out of control, how can we work with it, go around it, and in general not fear it? A full hour of free-range chat with a thoughtful prophecy student.

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.
