Flynn Huseby: Systems vs the Savior May 29, 2025

Show notes

Mary welcomes back Flynn Huseby to talk about the ascension of Jesus Christ and the beginnings of the church. Here on the podcast we have paid special attention to the events of Holy Week, the Road to Emmaus, and the beginnings of the church - and the confusion it sent through the believing Jewish religious system/believing community of the day. Speaking of systems, along comes the church and now the disciples are commissioned to make disciples as well. So much going on in this stretch of time, and yet here in the 21st century the church is still going. But what does it look like? What was it supposed to look like? We discuss the main categories in which the church has strayed from the simplicity of following Christ - a community of saints under the headship of the Lord Jesus, serving and lifting one another up, walking each other home. Evangelicalism more and more looks less like the original intent, and the enemy of our souls has been hard at work for centuries making sure that is true. Looking in the mirror as a church is never easy, but Flynn helps us sort a few things out.

Headlines: The Nations, They Do Rage May 28, 2025

Show notes

In today's edition of SUFTT, we discuss the global attention on the nation of Israel, the only sovereign nation that seems to constantly be under the world's microscope. As tragic as the incidences of campus antisemitism have been, this hateful ideology shows no sign of letting up. Just this week, a warning was issued for Jews and Israelis to be careful in Canada, and to limit their outward expressions of their faith and culture. This is something that many of us never thought we would see only a generation removed from the Holocaust era. What does the Bible say about this? Should the church be surprised? No, and at the very least, show increasing support for Israel and our local Jewish communities of faith, asking God what we might do to come alongside them. Then we talk about that mischievous AI, which appears to have a mind of its own in bypassing its own shut-down commands. Next, we cover the upcoming pride month by learning that many corporations are backing off from supporting that agenda, largely due to push back from the more morally minded among us. Finally, we look at paganism in the public schools, being forced on all students who find themselves unable to object. Time to hold these schools systems accountable. A full hour of headlines for the last week in May, 2025. Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Mary Danielsen: It’s Foundational May 27, 2025

Show notes

As we bid farewell to the first half of 2025 and welcome the carefree days of Summer, Mary takes a look at stars, time, and how crucial it is to understand the witness of the heavens. Even on a foundational level, the heavens are a message system that show forth God's glory. Many of us might look up night after night and enjoy the beauty on these warm evenings, but do we really understand that it is glory we are beholding? How does that provide the foundation for our faith, and where does the concept of time enter in? Eternity past, the present, the future, eternity future - are these just something to dwell in after we make our entrance into this life, or are they so much more? Even the very spot we put our feet every day outdoors is on something that was made out of nothing. Oh, and "He made the stars also." If we really want to peel back the complexities of this stifling world system, and get down to basics, the primer that is the heavens is that great leveler - that thing that helps us begin to keep the main thing the main thing, and look forward to dwelling forever with the One Who made it all - and has put eternity in our hearts.

JB Hixson: Go and Make Disciples May 22, 2025

Show notes

Dr. JB Hixson Mary welcomes back JB Hixson today to discuss discipleship. What does it mean to disciple, or be discipled? And why didn't Jesus say, "go and make converts"? Much of the church equates the two but they are not the same concept. What exactly is a disciple? If we start there, it will be easier to define discipleship; but the general idea at some juncture is about a relationship, and from that comes a life-long process of learning, and growing, and resembling Jesus. Considering the seemingly stunted growth of so many church-goers, we might be able to deduct that in addition to a lack of Bible knowledge, there is little to no discipling going on, and where there is, depth is lacking. What are some of the ways the church can rectify this? How can we be more engaged with one another instead of disengaged? How does it translate into making disciples of all nations? Converts, yes. Disciples, yes. The church needs to get busy on the Great Commission! A thoughtful hour with JB.

Headlines: Messiah Mania, Population Puzzle, AI Army May 21, 2025

Show notes

On today's podcast Tim and Mary look at several interesting news items for these last days. Jesus warns specifically in Matthew 24 that there will be false christs and false messiahs at the end of the age. Since he tells us they will be multiple, sometimes we might just brush off anyone who has an agenda, roll our eyes, and move on. But He tells us that for a reason; each fake prophet tells us a bit more about what these men will be like, and therefore, what to look for. A Muslim man has come out since Easter claiming to be the Messiah of the world, and so we will look at his agenda. Remember, the world will ultimately be neck deep in deception so that alone makes it an important topic to help us warn others. Also, a look at some disturbing anti-semitic developments which also prove that this eternal hatred is going on and more mainstream than ever before. We also look at a tech billionaire's dream of an AI army, China's alarming population plummet, and a few random items of interest. All in a day's work, seeing what the world is up to in the last of the last days. Stay alert!

Mike Gendron: Rock of Succession, Rock of Salvation, or Rock of Offense? May 20, 2025

Show notes

Mary welcomes back Mike Gendron of Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries to talk about the intricacies of electing a pope, the response of the world, and why Protestants seem so enamored with the process. Watching the larger than life media makes one wonder why the talking heads and random celebrities even care about the process, or what that religious system believes. One gets the impression they wish they could have some sort of influence but of course that's never going to be possible. We also talk about Catholic eschatology, and how to have meaningful conversations with Catholics who are most likely to be ferocious defenders of what they believe, for various reasons. Many of us have a great mission field with Catholicism and it's wise to armour up about what they believe and why - and the spiritual stronghold it is. A helpful - and hopeful - hour.

John Haller: The Middle East – Losing the Plot May 16, 2025

Show notes

How many films have we watched in which the plot gets so bogged down you want to run from the theater? We might even know how it ends, "predictably" even, but things get so complicated in the middle you wonder if it will ever be resolved. As Bible students watching the Mideast, we often feel that way, especially with our current admin believing that everything is resolvable ultimately. Simplistic perhaps, especially where God's acreage is concerned. Today we welcome back John Haller and try and make sense of all the plot twists. I know I am really having trouble following, and if you feel that way, you are not alone. Bring popcorn. Topics include the first Syrian visit with the US in 25 years; what Trump is hoping for following their protracted war. We also look at the Gulf Cooperation Summit and the big price tag on defensive weaponry that Gulf States are shopping for. Saudi has a big desert city in their sights, is it even possible to finish this incredibly ambitious project? We talk mostly Mideast today, and it's been a whirlwind week.

Headlines: Trendy Tattoos and Other Tech; Texas; and Treaties May 15, 2025

Show notes

Mary takes on the latest "marking" technology by taking a road trip into the late 1990s and early '00s, looking at the history of implanted tech - and why 1999 chip rumours of mass implantations are obsolete. Remember when tattoos were back-alley statements? It wasn't that long ago that they were frowned upon for "decent moral people". But things have changed in the land of all things "cool", and now smart tattoos are nearly here. We also look at the latest updates regarding Islam's growth in Texas, and who is finally getting involved. With the story of Islamic communities springing up hitting the mainstream, it looks like it has the attention of state and federal authorities finally. Then we look at the rumour mill swirling about Israel, suggesting that the POTUS is no longer tight with our only real Mideast ally. The "art of the deal" - that's what Trump does best, and it's not a lazy summer game of checkers - it's chess, and it's sophisticated. Lots to talk about on this edition of Stand Up for the Truth.

Inductive Bible Study: Study to Show Yourself Approved May 14, 2025

Show notes

Tim and Mary Danielsen talk about the long-term value to learning how to study the Scriptures via the inductive study method. What is inductive bible study? Observing, interpreting, and applying Scriptures is a skill within every believer's reach, and with a bit of work yields remarkable results as we learn to hold the Scriptures in high esteem, and yield ourselves to what we learn so that we can realize the transformed life. Maybe you have done mostly a type of devotional study but feel like there is something missing in your studies. There is nothing wrong with a devotional approach - but once you learn these skills you probably won’t look at any passage of Scripture the same ever again. If your goal is to go much deeper into the Word and glean some remarkable truths, we encourage you to give a listen and see if inductive bible study is for you or your church group. We talk about how to observe any text, how to do word studies (no, you need not be a Greek or Hebrew scholar), the place for commentaries, and how to interpret and apply to be faithful to the whole counsel of God's Word.

Rob Yardley: What is a Berean? May 13, 2025

Show notes

Mary welcomes Rob Yardley to the podcast, Rob is a true servant in the church with the heart of a pastor and theologian. Rob has served on several boards of note and continues to do so - from Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa to ICR to Thru the Bible with J Vernon McGee. His new role as Executive Director of The Berean Call is one that is dear to his heart because of his friendship with the late Dave Hunt, and of course T.A. McMahon, who has recently retired. When putting godly men like Dave Hunt, TA, Henry Morris, and J Vernon side by side we get a picture of 20th century men that God greatly used. We will look at the legacies of each one, and talk about what it means to be a Berean in 2025. Where are today's great apologists and theologians? A thoughtful hour with a thoughtful brother.
