Alex Newman: Faith, Freedom, and Double Standards

Mary welcomes back Alex Newman to talk about keeping the faith when it comes to encroaching legal double standards. First we look at the Maine court case in which a mom is being cut off from any rights to allow her daughter to be raised with biblical standards and a biblical worldview. The 13 year old daughter, who is a believer, is at the center of a case in which the father, an atheist, has forced a court decision to disallow any bible reading or church attendance when she is with her mother. The court has been very careful to hide their bias by saying it’s about co-parenting…

Chris Lawson: The HMS “Shack” and the Sinking of the Church
Mary welcomes back apologist and author Chris Lawson to talk about a subject both had hoped would never come up again: the phenomenally successful The Shack . William Paul Young has done it again in publishing a sequel to his 25 million selling book that was never intended to go into the Christian book market. The new book, “Return to the Shack” must be vetted as thoroughly as the original. Problem is, the original was largely swallowed hook, line and sinker, much to the detriment of the church. The original was very much a Kodak moment in the church already. So what’s new if anything in…

Russ Miller: The Disputers of This Age
Mary welcomes back Russ Miller to talk about what the Greco-Roman world referred to as their very own brand of professional intellectuals, logicians, and academic debaters who relied on philosophy, rhetoric, and argument to define truth. These disputers, as Paul calls them, were said to be “inquirers of truth” but many of us might wonder if they were ever, or are today, actually interested in truth! Today’s conversation with Russ is a bit different, taking the perspective of the unbeliever/atheist and in looking at Romans 1 in which we learn that all men know there is a Creator, and what it…

Headlines: The Restraining Force
On this week’s headline podcast, we talk about what is holding back the tide of evil in this overtly evil age. Did you ever stop to think about what God allows – and disallows? The dramatic events surrounding the FlyDubai flight of September 30 drove this home in that God really did do a miracle for those passengers, a full flight of Israelis, many of them flying to Israel to celebrate the feast of Tabernacles. So what kind of evil will be unleashed once the church is gone? Who is the Restrainer spoken of by Paul, and is there a connection between the two? The church cannot agree, as usual,…

Olivier Melnick: Israel’s Long Night and the Coming Day
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…

Mary Danielsen: Hero-Centric, Template-Oriented, Motivational Branding
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…

Chris Quintana: Ai – Good, Bad, or Neutral?
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.…

Headlines: The Promised Land and the God Who Promised
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…

Bub Kuns: Debunking the Bunk, Verifying the Truth
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…

Gary Kah: Enemies of Faith and Freedom
Gary Kah Mary welcomes Gary Kah back to SUFTT. Gary has been a valued guest of the podcast for many years, warning, exhorting and encouraging Christians to pay attention to globalism, Islam, communism, and general church and culture issues. Today we talk about communism’s rise and how it is reshaping everything about this nation. We also discuss current antisemitism statistics, up considerably since 2023. We talk about voting, and the latest Barna poll indicating that Christians really don’t intend to vote this year or ever. And yet, who IS voting? Muslims, Communists, friends and neighbors…

Pastor Claude Stauffer: Judgment Calls
PASTOR CLAUDE STAUFFER On today's edition of SUFTT, we welcome Pastor Claude Stauffer back to the conversation to talk about the weighty topic of "judgment". When it comes to "judging" others, subjectively speaking, people have strong opinions on what that should look like. If a believer is making a discernment call about a certain movement or belief system, one that touches close to someone's heart, they sometimes lash out with "judge not!" As believers, we have no desire or authority to condemn someone eternally, in judgment that belongs to God alone. But the unbeliever doesn't, cannot,…

Headlines: Ai Extinction, Midterms, and Globalism
Tim and Mary take on the current news cycle which is dominated by chatter about the apocalyptic nature of Ai. The Chicken Little bot keeps telling us the sky is falling, but is it? Trump says Ai isn't harmful, of course on some levels it is, but on an extinction level? And Bill Gates, globalist extraordinaire, has weighed in, all while writing checks to Ai. How about another scenario? Ai extinction, midterms and globalism, oh my - are they related? Quite possible. We talk about fear mongering by you-know-who (the left) who always has to have an apocalypse at the ready, like climate change,…

Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson: Turning the Tide in the Origins Debate
Mary welcomes back the brilliant Nathaniel Jeanson, someone who has taken the origins debate and placed it ahead of the pack. In his forthcoming book, "A New Way to Win", he outlines the definitive worldview battle based on the state of America since the Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925. At that time, it was illegal to teach evolution in the schools, specifically in Tennessee. John Scopes ultimately lost for teaching evolution, and fined $100. But what we have lost since then is immeasurable, as the legal tactic of the defense, headed by Clarence Darrow, was one of dismantling what he considered…

Mark Harris: The Power of Positive Deception
Note: APOLOGIES FOR THE LATE POST! Mary welcomes the president of Spiritual Counterfeits Project, Mark Harris, to talk about the Success Motivation movement, and how it has lasted so long, and continues to influence the church. Some listeners will remember the likes of Dale Carnegie, Norman Vincent Peale and Robert Schuller - all proponents of this positive thinking type of approach to life. But is it just thinking the right thoughts? Rick Warren has said many times that Schuller was his inspiration for The Purpose Driven Life - a self help book for the ages, selling 50 million copies. We…

Evan Liberman: Israel – Resilience Under Fire
Mary welcomes investment expert Evan Liberman to talk about the resilience of Israel's economy under the fire of war, and under the microscope of the world. Talking with us live from Israel, we learn about why this is a golden age for Israel's economy, and how God always seems to have His hand on them. Evan immigrated to Israel 33 years ago, and in 2010, he established Wise Money Israel, the only licensed Israeli wealth management firm that is Jewish believer-staffed and owned. The firm assists individuals and organizations to partner with Israel through investing in Israeli stocks and bonds…

Headlines: All the King’s Horses, All the King’s Men
On this edition of SUFTT, Tim and Mary look at the fall of the Judeo/Christian worldview and what is replacing it. Having built the west with its era of personal freedoms and democracy, today's world is looking far less like what we have known and much more like pending tyranny. Islam, Marxism, climate theology and more all point to a completely new world order fit for Antichrist. In fact, Romans 1 also points to this transition clearly. We talk about Britain's massive fall; the differences in worldviews; euthanasia laws coming online in various places. In the children's nursery rhyme,…

Mary Danielsen: The Acceptable Year, The Day of Vengeance
Mary takes on the lowly "comma" in today's podcast. A relatively minor punctuation in life that, when placed by the Holy Spirit into the Scriptures, can separate concepts, lists, thoughts - and even years and millennia. Bible prophecy, for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, has given us many things to watch for and understand and in this generation, the clarity comes from what is commonly referred to as "dispensationalism". Today we tour Isaiah 61, Zechariah 9, Isaiah 9. The church was called a "mystery" in the Scriptures, and that is a theme that really helps us understand that it…

John Haller: Methods to the Madness
Mary welcomes back John Haller to see if we can begin to figure out the methods behind all the madness out there. In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Polonius remarks to the Prince, "Though this be madness, yet there is method in 't." Wouldn't we all love to look behind the scenes and try to find the switch that shuts down all the insanity? Nothing makes sense anymore, except to the One to Whom it all matters: God, who knows exactly what is going on at all times. For now, we look at not just cultural madness, but geo-political - and we don't need to look far. Turkey, Iran, Ai, blood libels against…

JB Hixson: From Creation to the Culmination – Great Themes of Scripture
Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to hopefully play a role in stemming the tide of rampant biblical illiteracy. If social media has accomplished anything, it's been to pull the curtain back on all the would-be influencers and click bait addicts who think they know something about God's grand design when actually many know absolutely nothing but don't want you to know that. Today with JB we take a look at the major themes of the bible: Creation, Conflict, Covenants, Conquests, Captivities, Incarnation, the Cross, the Church and the Culmination of all things. Some might say, all that matters is…

Headlines: What Manner of Persons Ought We to Be?
On today's Headline edition of SUFTT, Tim and Mary look at the anniversary of 9/11. While some still maintain that it was an "inside job" of the US government, we find overwhelming evidence that it was an Islamic attack on the US. What is the one thing we are seeing take place in our nation among all threats? Islamic encroachment of our nation in alarming ways. This makes the conspiracy aspect null and void because, well, they are already "inside". ISLAM is the inside job. And to say that 3000 families were "in on it" is as disturbing as it gets. There are also those who claim that Oct 7 was…

Phill Cochran: Lessons Out of the Blue
Mary welcomes Retired Lt. Col Phill Cochran who flew the F-16 Fighting Falcon for more than 2 decades. For 23 years he also stood behind the pulpit, preaching and teaching God's Word. In God's classroom, he began to connect the dots among military service, high-performance flight, and deeper spiritual truths. Today we talk about his book, "Lessons Learned at the Speed of Sound", a book of 40 devotionals to encourage and challenge us on such important subjects as grace, repentance, perseverance, correction, joy and sorrow, temptation and hope. Seeing how God weaves our life choices together…

Sheri Few: School Bells, Warning Bells
Mary welcomes back Sheri Few, Founder and President of United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE), whose mission is to end the U.S. Department of Education and all federal education mandates. USPIE has established 20 state chapters and is growing rapidly amid the national outcry from parents who want to regain control of their children’s education. Today we talk about how to not sleepwalk through the school year, put it in park and just go through the motions. Getting parents engaged and alert, putting their child's education back into their own hands is a worthy goal. As the years…

Headlines: The Courage of Convictions in a Confusing World
Today's news cycle deserves some social/philosophical/matters-of-the-heart type ponderings. The reason for that is, we have all collectively paused what we were occupied with to pay attention to Lindsey Clancy, the blank-eyed premeditated murderer of 3 innocent children. And the jury is locked in what is likely a moral conversation. How can it not be? And in a nation/world that has forgotten God and thereby loosed its moral moorings, things are likely to get even more convoluted because there are no standards. People want to come to the aid and compassion of the murderer in this upside down…

Marziyeh Amirizadeh: Captive in Iran
Mary welcomes new guest Marziyeh Amirizadeh to talk about the 8 months she spent in a brutal Iranian prison for her faith in Jesus. Born just before the overthrow of the Shah in 1979, the Iran of her parents and grandparents transformed virtually overnight with the rise of the clerics - and strict Sharia law. We learn her story of being arrested for sharing the love of Christ to her fellow Persians and what took place behind the walls of Evin prison, one of the most brutal in the world. Accounts of fellow inmates and the lack of basic amenities paints a picture of a sort of bleak…

Mike Gallo: Cancer, Crisis and the Truth That Holds
NEW PODCAST: Mike Gallo first joined Dave Wager back in the spring of 2025 to share how cancer had affected his life and faith. Now Mike returns with more of the story. More cancer, more physical challenges, and a growing conviction that God has used these difficult seasons to change his priorities, loosen his grip on control, and open unexpected opportunities to serve and encourage a younger generation. Dave and Mike explore what happens when the truth we say we believe is tested by cancer, loss, pain, and the reality of death. They discuss the danger of allowing feelings and circumstances…

Debbie Wuthnow: Midterm Mayhem and Election Anxiety
Mary chats with Debbie Wuthnow of iVoterGuide, a ministry of American Family Association, about the midterms, and the crossroads at which we Americans find ourselves. Thanks to iVoterGuide, we can have access to tremendous amounts of research on all the midterm elections - scorecards, polling places, dates and much more - because an educated electorate benefits our nation. Most people don't realize that primary elections decide the vast majority of races; if people don’t vote on the ground level, say locally for school boards or in state and national primaries, they can’t truly complain…

Brady Blevins: Transformation Agents – from Spirituality to Sharia
Mary welcomes back Dr. Brady Blevins of Watchman Fellowship to talk about the more diverse and interesting ways our culture and the church are being transformed. Burning Man, which starts this weekend, is the most visible example of what are called "Transformational Festivals". What are they transforming? Themselves? The culture at large? Attendees seem to think they are practicing the future, a future of pagan, New Age, cosmic consciousness - a utopia of inclusiveness, earth worship, and paganism - in which adherents look within and find a god. Not THE God, of course, Who is outside of His…

Headlines: Postcards from Babel
Tim and Mary take on the news cycle with a bit of a twist: living large in the last days, Babylon style. We talk about the change of seasons and how that brings a reality to the times. The nature of worship today is certainly one of the changes we have waded through, but not just to add to the conversation about it, rather perhaps put a finger on the problem: subjectivity. In the pursuit of making sure the Holy Spirit shows up to our gatherings, we have all but stopped worshiping in Spirit AND in truth: with our minds and our hearts. We talk about the hymn culture that produced doctrine and…

Jeff Kinley: Anchoring a Generation Through Prophecy
Mary welcomes back Jeff Kinley to talk about bringing hope to our kids - through bible prophecy. Back in the 70s and 80s, the youth were clamoring for more information about Jesus' return. It anchored us, gave us hope and caused us to look beyond the troubles and fleeting sense that all humans experience. Then what happened? Churches stopped teaching prophecy. The rapture became a comedic, scoffing byline - and with all that the sense of hope that our youth could rise above the floodwaters of a chaotic and dying world. Today we talk to Jeff about his Future Hope Student/Youth conferences.…

J Warner Wallace: Identity Crisis – Christ or Culture?
Mary welcomes back premier apologist J. Warner Wallace to talk about our identity in Christ, and our identity in Christ in - America. He enjoys asking his audiences questions like " Why Are You a Christian?" and "Why Aren't You a Christian?". The answers to those simple questions tell him and us a lot about the state of the church today. Our identity is everything. In Christ it's "received, not achieved". But in the culture it might be based on your identity politics, your social, economic and educational status, or your appearance - and a host of other qualifiers. In Christ, we already…
