Mondo Gonzales: The Age of Intensity Jan 27, 2026

Show notes

Mary welcomes back Mondo Gonzales to look at current headlines through the lens of the intensity of events. Are things really cranking up or is there just more coverage? Even with the volume bar in the red, Jesus' words about birth pangs rises above the tumult and warns us that events will crank up with both frequency and intensity. What is fueling the rage, the ideologies, the intensity? We stand back and watch and really don't comprehend the craziness which feeds upon itself. Then there's President Trump, who doesn't mind shaking up the system that leftists thought was in their own iron-fisted control. If you just stand back and watch, you might even be amused. But it's spiritual, and someone is shaking the nations from within. We talk about globalism, tech, Israel, and "peace, peace, where there IS no peace."

David Holland: Global Smackdown – US v Globalists Jan 23, 2026

Show notes

Mary welcomes back financial guru David Holland to talk about the blowtorch maneuver that Trump used at Davos. As another WEF summit winds down, we know less about globalism and its enduring (not endearing) qualities than we ever did. Trump pushed some buttons for sure, and this caps off the first year of his second term. In 2025 we saw trade policies, tariffs, foreign policy, and alliances all get shaken. The Mideast has altered significantly, topped off by Trump's "Board of Peace" initiative. It's impossible to even guess what this year holds in the arena of cryptocurrencies, surveillance systems, inflation, and Ai, but we still see Trump's America First policies holding firm. And so many do not like it and aren't afraid to say so. But what did the globalists expect with their pandemic panic run-through that was horribly mishandled? Trust? Or just flat-out tyranny? So we go to David for some free-range conversation about all of it, and look at what to watch for. A full hour on financial stuff - minus the glowing puppies this time.

Trey Dellinger: the Culture, the Pulpit, and the Courthouse Jan 22, 2026

Show notes

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?

Headlines: Waiting for that Proverbial Shoe to Drop Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

Tim and Mary Danielsen take a look at the current news cycle, of course a continuation of the previous one - and yet the incremental increase in chaos and wickedness bears mentioning. "Waiting for the other shoe to drop" is one way to describe the edge-of-the-seat posture that today's headlines tend to invoke. But in the case of the unknown shoe, it very much applies to that global war that seems to be always in the next news cycle. Are nations just being very cautious? Or is there more maneuvering going on? Some say that Trump and the right are warmongerers, but a case could be made that the Dems have been responsible for all the major wars of the last 150 years. Either way, whether it's global war, civil war in the states, the economy or the Mideast, shoes could all drop at once one of these days, redefining chaos as we have known it. A full hour of headlines and commentary.

JB Hixson: Keeping Watch in the Night – Church Trends Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

Dr. JB Hixson Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to talk about trends in the church that bear continual surveillance. Putting together 10 was no challenge at all. So what are we watching? Everything from the state of biblical authority to tech to self-induced isolation from each other. And when you throw in the rise of preterism and the waning of dispensationalism, that tells us an awful lot about interest in the blessed hope. Americans are unique in the world in our emphasis on independence and personal freedoms - that "personal relationship" that is not meant to be stuffed into a bottle but translate into evangelizing, fulfilling the "one anothers" and bearing each others burdens. But all too often all we are seeing is the warning that Paul gave Timothy about the last days and lovers of selfism. Choosing a church based on emotion and what's in it for us is a community killer. And so many of these trends reflect that, the busy busy church that really doesn't even disciple, as if being busy is the mark of a Spirit-filled congregation. And just as Paul warns us what flows from selfism is very bad, so it would seem - and a lot of it is, well, really bad. A very full hour with Pastor JB.

Pastor Claude Stauffer: Adding to the Church in Iran; Making Disciples Everywhere Jan 16, 2026

Show notes

PASTOR CLAUDE STAUFFER Mary welcomes back Pastor Claude Stauffer of Calvary Chapel in Amityville, NY to talk about the church side of the headlines concerning Iran. The cost of conversion there is a life or death matter of course, because it conflicts in every way with Islam. Is there revival going on there? Or is revival fueling the revolution at this juncture in 2026? We talk about the numbers, the cost and how God continues to use Persia for His own purposes - across the ages. Then we look at discipleship in the New Year, via Matthew 1-4. New Years' resolutions are pretty useless, but God's Word never returns void. Since that is our commission, to go and make disciples of all men, what better way to start things out than to learn more about how to do that. A full hour with a man who truly loves God's Word and it transformative effects. Pray for Iran, for the believers there, that they too can make disciples boldly, and fearlessly.

Julaine Appling: We Will Rebuild – The Family Jan 15, 2026

Show notes

Julaine Appling is back to give hope to us all regarding putting out the fires that ravage the family unit, thanks to progressive and wicked agendas doing all they can to relight their disasters. Middle America and those who remember what this nation is built upon - what society has always been structured around - aren't giving up, and they still hold to traditional values. Too bad we can't continue on economically, because the one-income dream of the 50s and 60s is long past. Why is that? We look at the effects this has had on the family over the last 50 years. We also take a look at the related issue of affordable housing. Are any states at least making an effort to help young families have good affordable housing? If the government is going to tear down all we have known, the least they could do is offer incentives or grants to clean up their mess. Another topic today is a resolution in the assembly to keep churches open in the event of another pandemic attack on our freedoms. Let's close the craft stores next time and keep the worship portion alive. All that and more with the knowledgeable and articulate Julaine Appling.

Headines: Persians, Shahs, and Ayatollahs, O My Jan 14, 2026

Show notes

Today we take a look at the momentous events in Iran. From the 1950s overthrow by the CIA of an elected prime minister, to a shah, to the ayatollahs, Iran has had a rich and long world history. How are today's headlines significant in the scheme of things, including Israel? Why did God give a mention to the Persian empire in Daniel? What is the nature of protests here regarding Iran? We look in-depth at several key bits of information, including the role of the Shah's son as he tweets encouragement across the fruited internet. Since Iran is in Bible prophecy we have to at least peek into what is going on. We also look at the United States of Protest, where mob rule, a lynch mob mentality, just might get worse this year. We already know who is fomenting and sponsoring it, buy why do people seem so attracted to all that anger? Because they have been told to be angry? What can we learn if we put both nations side by side? Well, Americans fighting for freedoms they already have is one way to look at it, while Iranians are dying for significant life and death issues.

Olivier Melnick: Standing Firm Against the Tide of Antisemitism Jan 13, 2026

Show notes

Mary welcomes back Olivier Melnick to talk about the shocking levels of what we might call "totalitarian antisemitism" that exist and why things are so much worse today than in the 1930s and 40s. While the Nazis had their propaganda machine that reached far into Europe, it was nothing compared to the digital propaganda machine we are staring at day in and day out. We discuss the five reasons why we have surpassed that 20th century evil day, and what it means for our world. For anyone who was around then, this concept should be especially frightening, even for those who grew up in the 1960s and 70s, we have to wonder how this was allowed on our watch. We also look at the fear factor for those who live in places where their safety is compromised, and how the pressure to disavow their identity adds to the problem of "erasure". A "refusnik" was historically a Jew who was denied the right to leave Russia for Israel from the 1950s to around 1990 when Russia finally allowed Jews to leave. Here in 2026 it also means someone who refuses to allow their culture to be erased. How can we be refusniks, and encourage, stand with, and support those who need a dose of courage in light of this global problem? What other ethnic/race/culture would be allowed to suffer such malevolent wrongdoings, except the Jews?

Headlines: By the Numbers Jan 07, 2026

Show notes

Today Tim and Mary take a look at 2025 and 2026 - by the numbers. We look back at the top prophetic stories, and forward at the challenges to the church. We also look ahead at the top tech trends, what can we expect? So far, 2026 has proven to be a challenge in that we didn't get too far into it before we saw what seemed to be emerging as a rumours-of-war state of affairs. What will the Venezuelan action bring regarding other nations that export drugs and terror? Will Trump stop with Venezuela, or are Cuba, Mexico and Iran on the block too? What to make of a shaky start for the year? There are so many avenues to travel down, and we don't know the general future, but we have a great roadmap in the Scriptures regarding the mountain tops of prophecy. It's what happens in the valleys that keep us guessing, and so we do the headline thing, to keep us on our toes. A full hour, early in the new year.
