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, ...

Terra, co-host of the Q morning show, has been a committed educator, advocate and trainer in the fight against human trafficking for over 20 years. Today in light of Human Trafficking Prevention month we utilize her expertise in exposing the crime most “hidden in plain sight”, and to bring the stats and put virtual faces to the victims of such horrible exploitation. What is it? Where does it take place? What does recruitment look like? And most importantly – how technology enables it to reach in...

DON SHIRE Today on Stand Up For The Truth’s new podcast, Dave Wager sits down with longtime friend and global missionary Don Shire of DSM International. Don shares how God took an ordinary guy with a trumpet and opened doors to ministry in 38 countries, using music to draw crowds and the gospel to change hearts. Along the way, Don watched needs rise up right in front of him, and those needs became real, boots-on-the-ground work: orphan care, schools, church building, widow ministry, and trainin...

On this final headline cycle of 2025, we find ourselves looking at headlines that aren’t terribly surprising. In fact, once again, the main casualty of the world is TRUTH. Everything flows from that. What we lose we can never get back when it comes to fabrications all around us. So we start out by looking at the continuing degradation of truth in the culture outside of Christ. Then we take a page from our “willful ignorance” file, the one that tells us that the people running Australia willfully...

Mary Danielsen Well, we told you so: 2026 was coming. And we even counted it down on headline days. So while that’s not terribly profound, we all get a week or two to remember to number our days and God says that’s wisdom. While we’re thinking about it, we often resort to New Year’s resolutions to ease the pain of past fails. It might be related to our behaviour, our self-discipline or lack thereof, but we all understand starting fresh, turning a page. But outside of Christ, is wholesale change...

Originally aired 9/11/25: 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 made to take this man’s life over ideol...

Today is a special teaching from host Dave Wager. He slows down the Christmas story and reads Luke 2:1–21, letting the details land, Caesar’s decree, Joseph and Mary’s trip to Bethlehem, the manger, the angel’s announcement, the sky filled with praise, and the shepherds rushing in to see what God had made known. From there, Dave brings in reflections from V. Raymond Edmond’s 1960 book Wiser Than They Thought, using imagined conversations and scenes to help us picture what it may have felt like f...

As we celebrate another Christmas on this side of eternity, we want to halt the news in its tracks (since there are never good tidings nor great joy most weeks) and talk about Isaiah, David’s throne, and some of the lighter things that make the holidays joyful. It’s always bittersweet, Christmas – because the chains we have that tie us to this planet mean we suffer hurt, loss and difficulty all through the year. But at the same time that sweet-sour paradigm allows us to rejoice and carry on beca...

Mary Danielsen Mary takes some time today to focus on the end game, geopolitically – and at what point the world runs out of real estate to do a global build-out designed for the final rebellion against Jesus Christ at His coming. The image in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, the metal man depicting the significant world powers that will succeed each other from Babylon to Rome, is one of the greatest, most astonishing prophecies the world has ever been privy to. The end of the matter tells us that in th...

Mary welcomes back Pastor and prophecy teacher David Bowen to look at moments that mattered in 2025. In my lifetime, we largely viewed a new year as a clean slate, filled with potential. Since 2020, we’re pretty much just holding our collective breath, expectations being at historic lows. If I were a youth today, and if I did not have Jesus in my life, I would wonder who what and how this world got so irrevocably messed up. it’s tempting to find someone to blame, but Bible prophecy clearly tells...

Mary welcomes back Creationist Russ Miller to talk about the season of time we are in, which altogether looks like an end game in so many ways. Sometimes we think that the world remained somewhat static in culture and innovation until the 1800s, at which time there was an explosion of change in the 20th century. That’s not wrong, because the pace and scale of global transformation has accelerated in dramatic fashion, particularly with the Industrial and Scientific Revolutions. We also think in t...

Tim and Mary take a look at the headlines, once again – and another news cycle that just bears out how late the hour is. Waking up to a weekend of violence, we have to not only ask ourselves why, but it makes us want to shout from the hilltops: “Enough! Stop it!” The average American does struggle with the lawlessness we witness in bundles sometimes, but we feel completely helpless to do anything about it. We look at why the evil is so ramped up. We also take a look at Europe and it’s unbelievab...

Mary welcomes back researcher, author and prophecy student Scott Townsend to chat specifically on Ai in the church. This is a murky subject, because the church has existed for over 2000 years and never once said to itself, “gee we need technology to carry out our mission in the world.” And it will always be so, because worship, discipleship, study and fellowship do not need any additives or preservatives. Yet here we are, ethically working through this thing that the whole world is coming under,...

[Original airdate: 1/9/25] Mary Danielsen welcomes back Britt Gillette and his wealth of knowledge about all things economic. Today’s system that seems to be held together with duct tape reminds me of the children’s nursery rhyme that says, “when the bough breaks…” – and then spells out the end quite clearly. Considering that the economy now global impacts us all on earth, what might 2025 bring? The last couple years have seen threats of bank closures and the cancelling of accounts of those the ...

Mary welcomes back the foremost expert in technocracy, Patrick Wood. He has studied the global elite and their schemes since the 1970s, and the origins of their seeds of control. Here on the cusp of 2026, he is the one to tell us just how they did it. If you want an education on Ai and where we are at since Trump took office, this is the podcast for you. His new book, “The Final Betrayal” is not just a cautionary tale, but a handbook on the history of Technocracy. Beginning in the 1930s, movers ...

Mary welcomes back Jim Fletcher to take on an assortment of significant news finds. First up, Bibi Netanyahu is mired in the lawfare portion of his leadership. Just like Trump, he has had to live in the shadow of charges (“trumped” up?) since 2020. How has this affected his work? The prosecution rested in 2024, but this could go on and on. Next we look at some fantastic archaeological finds: Temple Zero, and a Hasmonean-era c wall, a massive structure that had a great presence in Jerusalem at on...

Tim and Mary look at some of the top headlines of the last week. We often ask ourselves, are things winding down, or winding up? Civilization seems to be winding down, in the classic historical sense. What is winding up is prophecy, marching to judgment in an unrepentant world. Where is that pivot point? As we head into another Christmas season, we know that the big moment that changed everything was “unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given”. For God so loved, he GAVE. Ever since that pr...

Mary welcomes John Haller to chat about what the world thinks about itself as we approach another revolution around the sun. Since 1986, The Economist has published it’s very own version of short-term prophecy as it relates to the upcoming year. Their covers alone for this issue are worth looking at, seeing at a glance what they think are critical issues that will carry over. Of course, we have the sure word of prophecy to give us the big Kodak, but it’s still fascinating to take it apart and se...

Original airdate: 12/12/24: Mary welcomes back Carl Kerby of Reasons for Hope Ministries, an apologetics ministry that covers many different areas and ways to contend for the faith. In these days of moral ambiguity and outright amorality, the porn industry is one of the most insidious, soul trashing industries under the sun. Statistics regarding the popularity of this pursuit are stunning, having increased tremendously over just the last few years. It is estimated that 28,258 users watch porn ev...

Dr. JB Hixson Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to talk about the great and precious promises found throughout God’s Word. How many are there? How long do you have? A common number is about 8,000, more in the OT than in the NT. But some say, depending upon how you parse them out, that there could be as many as 30,000. Of course, if God doesn’t keep every single one, He is not Who He says He is. So, what can we conclude except, He is a God Who keeps them ALL. What does that mean for you and I? Well, ...

Today we welcome back apologist/author/researcher Chris Lawson to talk about rebuilding faith after suffering at the hands of false teachers, bible twisters, heretics or just plain abusive leadership. Today, we refer to this as “spiritual abuse” – but what does that mean? It is often tossed about easily, leaving the listener or reader confused about this rather subjective term. Chris helps us sort out the truth, and help the listener find encouragement and comfort if they have indeed been a vict...

Tim and Mary take on a news cycle that pauses just long enough to acknowledge the rabbit hole of Big Tech. This has to be the case, because so much of what we do and see and hear is undergirded by this infrastructure, which has been building for 100 years. It’s so very interesting from a prophecy perspective, that the world is obsessed with tech, algorithms, and control of our everyday lives. Today we talk about Trump’s recent Ai executive order, “The Genesis Mission”. People are just delusional...

Mary welcomes Kelsey Pritchard to the podcast to talk about her work at Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America (SBA). Previously, she served in the office of the governor of South Dakota, spending seven years as the administration’s communications strategist and press secretary, but now serves as the pro-life organization’s first-ever director of state public affairs. Today we look at the year in review from a pro-life vantage point. Starting with Wisconsin’s election of pro abortion activist Susan C...

Original airdate: 12/3/24: Mary chats with teacher, author and prophecy expert Lee Brainard about his deep studies into the Rapture. Lee has some great insights in his book, “Ten Potent Proofs for the Pre-Trib Rapture” and it’s all in one short volume. A great resource for those who may be confused by the genuine disdain that the church at large has developed for this viewpoint of late. And what about the incredible way the US has turned a corner on normality with the outcome of November’s elect...
