Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

Mary welcomes back Olivier Melnick on this eve the 3rd anniversary of the October 7 attacks. What has transpired in that time, what have we learned? Some of it is just so grievous, in the case of antisemitism.  Weeping for the night (Psalm 30:5) surely describes the scars on the the people over time – but joy in the morning – we often look at this through a far more temporal lens, the short view of day and night and our smaller trials but there is something much bigger in view here:  Israel’s long night of struggle and the dawn of redemption. We talk about Hamas and their agenda, and Europe and their agenda. None of it pro-Israel, of course. And yet as we see the Day approaching, the Bright and Morning Star surely promised, let’s hold fast our confession of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and press on in truth about Israel from God’s perspective.

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.
