Mary welcomes back Bible teacher Chris Quintana to get a grip on the times. When people say, "get a grip", what do they mean? Getting a grip on reality in 2025 includes really pausing to see things for what they are. The waves of the sea tossing, with a side of perplexity suggests that God is backing the world into a corner and they are not seeing a way out. What does this look like then? We talk about the chaos that leads to globa...

Mary welcomes back Bill Wilson of The Daily Jot to pull the curtain back on some inconvenient truths - inconvenient for those who don't like truth telling, anyway. In the aftermath of yesterday's shocking headline of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, sometimes the bedrock of truth will go head to head with wickedness and a high price is paid. Worldviews clash daily in these times, but embedded in the series of decisions that were ...

Another news cycle, another opportunity to convey the lateness of the hour - and the lunacy that goes with that. That time is short is so painfully obvious, because at what point does even tech outpace that Revelation 13 scenario? Living on the edge of history has its advantages -  namely, it keeps us on our toes and the edge of our seats all at the same time. Now, if AI genius of the day Peter Thiel is delivering lectures on the a...

Mary welcomes Bruce Carroll to the podcast to talk about his story, his life, his art. Bruce is a quintessential musician and artist in every facet. We talk about his early years, how they formed who he is, coming from a broken home. Becoming a Christian was the farthest thing from his thoughts, like most of us. One thread that runs through every testimony from his age group is a love of music, as though that was bound to be part o...

[Original airdate: 9/6/24] On today's podcast we chat with Chris Quintana, Kyle Peart and Flynn Huseby live in the studio. Up for discussion is the urgency of the gospel and bringing hope to as many as possible while the church is still able to speak clearly and uncompromisingly. Two things that await every human are death and standing before God. One hundred years from now, all that will be important is, who is in heaven with us? ...

Mary welcomes back Julaine Appling to talk about a smorgasbord of issues that affect the family. With a new school year and the Big Beautiful Bill, we look at some funding options for families whether they homeschool, charter, or attend public schools. Then we look at the increase of sports gambling around the nation. Why in the last few years are we inundated with ads for team odds and the money to be had? For so long, teams, play...

Mary chats with Jim Fletcher about a prophecy in Zechariah 2 that most Christians have never looked into. In his booklet "Zechariah 2", he fleshes out one of the most interesting passages imaginable - where prophecy intersects with modern times - and wouldn't you know, it has to do with the creation of the modern state of Israel. Shocking! There are over 100 prophecies foretelling their regathering, is the church even listening to ...

"Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat" (Rudyard Kipling). Tim and Mary take on another news cycle, as Summer gives way to Fall. What will the new season bring, regarding the Middle East and the falling West? There may not be a lot of commentary in the week after Labor Day, but things done under the sun are never "done". Today we talk abou...

Today Mary brings her testimony to the table on our 2nd Testimony Tuesday. While every testimony is a series of divine appointments and God's revelation to the heart of someone, Mary has a historical context to widen the scope of God's providential ways. Tracing events from her great-grandmother to today, we see that God's ways are truly not ours. In the 2nd half of the podcast, we take a look at Malachi 3 and 4 and some of the mos...

Tim and Mary look at the news cycle, and are forced to conclude that something deep inside the culture has snapped. How else are we to think when saying "bacon" is a crime? And California wants to pass a child trafficking bill that isn't what you would think it is, and forget the blood moons, we have a much bigger problem, Houston. It's not that this massive comet that could wipe out all life on earth is actually going to hit our f...

Mary welcomes speaker, author and AI expert Scott Townsend to the podcast to talk about the concerning characteristics of AI. The word "artificial" should give us our first clue as to what kind, if any, intel is within. Scott has written extensively on why we should be extremely wary of the potential delusion that comes packaged with the "illusion". A parrot can say that 2+2 is 4, but it doesn't know why. In a similar way, AI can s...

On today’s Stand Up for the Truth, host Dave Wager brings on his longtime friend Dr. Tim, a physician and city council member, for a wide-ranging conversation rooted in John 8:32—“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Dave reflects on God’s role in medicine, sharing how he trusted the Lord through his wife’s cancer surgery, while Tim recalls moments when prayer guided him through critical procedures. The t...

Dr. JB Hixson Today Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to chat about the gospel - what it is, and what it isn't. This week, President Trump expressed the idea that if he is able to settle the score between Putin and Zelenskyy and thereby save lives, wouldn't that be enough to get into heaven? Back in 2016, Trump met with 1000 evangelicals in New York, presumably to secure the evangelical vote. Since then he has surrounded himself with v...

Mary welcomes Mondo Gonzales today to talk prophecy - but not just in the way that simply confirms the interpretation of the day. Central to our conversation is the famous passage in Daniel 9:27 - "and he shall confirm a covenant with (the) many..." Prophecy teachers have generally taught that to be a peace treaty, making anyone who facilitated such a covenant either the Antichrist, or associated with him. But what if that isn't in...

Tim and Mary take on those in this world that love to put "-crat" at the end of everything. After all, don't we all live in a "demo-cracy"? Well some do, and some don't. The core meaning of "-crat" is related to power and authority, in the context of government. And that 80s tune, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is becoming more prophetic as the years go on. The techno people think they do or will rule the world. The Eurocrats ...

Mary welcomes guest Richie Furay for our first Testimony Tuesday, as we look at his full and storied life as a member of pioneering bands Buffalo Springfield and Poco.  With all that success, what drove him to his knees? How does a person reconcile or intersect the unique life of the spotlight, in the definitive 1960s no less, with the calling of a pastor and troubadour for Jesus? When he returned to Ohio for his Hall of Fame induc...

Mary welcomes back Usama Dakdok to lay a firm foundation on who exactly owns that contested piece of land called "Israel". Usama was born in Egypt and grew up in a Christian home. While in government schools in Egypt, he learned about Islam just as every other student does in a Muslim country. Usama also studied for a university degree in Egypt which included the study of Sharia, Islamic law. He first came to America in 1992. With ...
