Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

Mary is back with a solo podcast taking on the late blooming fruit of the Purpose Driven/Seeker Sensitive/motivational paradigm of the corporate branding of the church. It’s been over 20 years since the Evangelical Industrial Complex redefined what a church is, what preaching is, and the consumer approach to all of it. Where are we at? It’s not good. Even small-to-middlin’ churches have adopted the cape wearing hero style of many if not most pastors today. What is a pastor, after all? Why are so many failing to finish well? If a church isn’t teaching the Bible systematically, what are they doing? Is there a name for what people sit through every Sunday? Many sharp Christians know what is missing, but they can’t seem to name it. We name it today. We look at C. Peter Wagner and Peter Drucker, the men responsible for the Signs and Wonders movement, the NAR, and the corporate top-down, success oriented view of the pews – and it is wholly unbiblical. No sacred cows today, just straight shooting as we assess the fallout of the purpose driven drivel over the Spirit led church.

Mary welcomes Chris Quintana back to the podcast to talk about Ai – morally, physically, philosophically, scientifically.  Some of us of a certain age thought our answering machines were pretty special, because before those things showed up, we were pretty much unreachable. Then came this century. There is so much to try and parse about Ai it’s mind-boggling. Today we look at how it should–or shouldn’t–be applied to bible prophecy; whether it’s artificial, intelligent, or just thinks it thinks. Many wishful thinkers believe that when it gets “intelligent enough” it will become conscious. Well, birds and dogs are conscious, but not nearly as intelligent as humans or Ai. What about if it escapes its pen? Is it really just a sophisticated answering machine or does it have no answers whatsoever? Does it hallucinate? A fun and full hour with the very thoughtful Chris Quintana.

On todays SUFTT: Headline Edition we talk about “that land”. Israel, the most contested piece of real estate in the world. The American folk song, “This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land” that we all sang as kids, is a catchy, soaring ode to the beauty and co-ownership, the freedom, that Americans have always had from sea to shining sea. Walk it, drive it, fly over it – it was “made for you and me.” But was it, really? America, like every bit of land around the world, has been settled, unsettled and resettled many times in history.  In Israel, that contested dirt is also claimed by many; but what does the Bible say about it? Is it all that special? And if Israel dares to claim long-standing and actually eternal ownership and try to prevent its own annihilation, well that’s unacceptable. The Bible has a lot to say about that land, which is governed by covenant in God’s eyes, regardless of the UN’s take.

Mary welcomes back Bub Kuns to talk about the latest in the “Debunked” video series. When it comes to topically exposing lies that enslave, no one does it visually better than Bub and the Reasons for Hope crew. Today we talk about their newest reasoning tool, “The Earth is Flat”. One might wonder how in the world such a theory could gain any traction in such a scientifically rational world in which photographic and scientific evidence quickly and easily destroys such a theory. But what is behind their thinking? Quite possibly simply the word “theory” – and a deep-seated need to distrust any and all of the world’s institutions that some people have decided are decidedly untrustworthy.  So is it even worth it to debate them at all? Some might say no, but what if we peel back the motives and look at why people believe such things, and discover what other questions they might have about things that are eternal? The same ones humans have always had. We also look at the most popular Debunked videos, and the most effective. A fun hour with one of the more creative apologists out there.

Gary Kah

Mary welcomes Gary Kah back to SUFTT. Gary has been a valued guest of the podcast for many years, warning, exhorting and encouraging Christians to pay attention to globalism, Islam, communism, and general church and culture issues. Today we talk about communism’s rise and how it is reshaping everything about this nation. We also discuss current antisemitism statistics, up considerably since 2023. We talk about voting, and the latest Barna poll indicating that Christians really don’t intend to vote this year or ever. And yet, who IS voting? Muslims, Communists, friends and neighbors without biblical worldviews – so we are abdicating our worldview to them. Sobering, but it’s not just politics as usual today. Who will speak up for our kids in public schools, for the defenseless, for those of us who want to be free to worship and speak about the gospel openly? Plenty to consider in these times. A full hour of insights into our world with Gary.
