Mary welcomes back researcher and teacher Carl Teichrib, whose studies on transhumanism and transformation of what it means to be human are enlightening and extremely well thought out. Today we get a report on this year's Burning Man Transformational Festival. Lest anyone think it's merely Hippies 3.0, there is so much involved in the microcosm of life that takes place there each year. We will discuss the cooperative salvation/world spirituality that attendees are searching for, and look at...

Today we chat with Brady Blevins, Senior Apologist at Watchman Fellowship, an extensive apologetics and cult source that is indispensable for understanding and researching aberrant teachings both within Christendom and outside of it. Which one is more dangerous, within or without? Impossible to say in this age of heresy and apostasy. Today we look at ICC and its aggressive campus proselytizing. Who is Kip McKean? What is his background? How can parents of college students be more aware and...

[Original airdate: 8/6/24] Mary chats with Holly Varnum of Reasons for Hope in her role as Director of Curriculum Development, writer, editor and proofreader. With a new school year looming, once again we turn our thoughts to how to best educate our kids, in the way that they should go - as individuals made in God's image, male and female. Holly has a love of teaching truth and having a strong biblical worldview. In these times of gender homogenization, what are the hard-wired differences in...

Dr. JB Hixson Mary welcomes back JB Hixson as we tackle the biblical topic of wisdom, something the world could certainly use a lot more of. Isaiah 33:6 tells us, "Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, and the strength of salvation. The fear of the Lord is His treasure." Instability and chaos are not the product of wisdom, something that resides with God and is given to His people who desire it. Wisdom was present in creation, before anything was made. Solomon asked for...

[Original airdate: 6/28/24] We welcome back Kyle Peart and Flynn Huseby of Once Lost Ministries, apologists and evangelists who work tirelessly to bring truth and clarity to those caught up in false teaching. Today we discuss the Catholic faith and the various aspects that are unscriptural: Tradition, relics, sacraments, purgatory, and veneration of Mary. With all the religious aspects, extra-biblical focus and gospel of good works, how is it that a Catholic can never be assured of salvation?...

Mary talks with Linda Harvey today of Mission America, a ministry that has always been on the cutting edge of teaching and warning about those things that would destroy the faith of our kids - the lies and the identities that the world says should be important to them. Young people have always been on a search to "find themselves" - more overtly since the 1960s but really, every young person wants to find their place in this world. The devil is always on hand to get them at a critical point...

On today's headline day we look at the trajectory of antisemitism around the world. It seemed to have taken a bit of a break during the election cycle but nothing has, or will change, the current direction of antisemitism and it will get worse and worse, a tragedy and a pox upon humanity. From Amsterdam to Belgium, from sea to shining sea in the US, here we go again. And we will speak up about it and we will defend Israel with all we have because it represents the heart of God. And yet...

[Original airdate 6/4/24] Mary chats with author and apologist team Richard and Linda Nathan, who met in San Francisco in 1962, lived through the Sixties, and spent many years together in New Age mysticism before becoming Christians in 1976. Since then, they have taught numerous seminars and classes on discerning our times. They have authored the Omega Point Series of books, Lighthouse Trails booklets “The Cross and the Marijuana Leaf” and “Psychedelic Seduction: Drugging the World and the...

Today, Mary Danielsen talks with Pastor Jeff Solwold of Calvary Chapel of Madison. Jeff's teaching ministry, Upward Call, is a thorough, edifying systematic look at the Scriptures with fresh and encouraging insights to help the listener draw ever closer to the Saviour. Today we look at the role of the pastor, the definition of which is all too often taken from a file drawer job description, or - heaven forbid - an example gleaned from a YouTube channel focused on modern day methodology, often...

[Original airdate: 4/2/24] Mary Danielsen talks with Mike Gendron and ministering to those who are held captive by religious duty and obligation, things that have no effect in remediating the sin that we are all born with. Mike takes no hostages as he delineates those issues such as good works, baptismal regeneration, and the bedrock issues that Roman Catholics have with the inerrancy of God's Word. We will talk about religious zeal without knowledge and the numbness of heart and soul that...

Today we welcome back speaker, author, apologist Jay Seegert of The Starting Point Project. Jay speaks to audiences on the evidence for the existence of God, evidence for the inerrancy and Divine inspiration of the Bible, worldviews and our “starting point”; creation vs. evolution, and the ongoing Bible vs. science controversy. In this podcast we chat about the many issues and challenges we continue to face as the worldviews of biblical Christianity and secular humanism clash daily. Is the...

Mary welcomes back Elijah Abraham, pastor, evangelist and speaker who tirelessly sounds the alarm about the Islamic threat to the church and the world. Today we catch up with his extensive travels to the Eastern hemisphere to spread the gospel and equip pastors to combat the threat of Islam both politically and spiritually. His unique testimony is used by God to show Americans it's getting awfully late on the clock to wake up to the Islamic threat here, there, and everywhere. We discuss his...

[Original airdate 5/30/24] Mary Danielsen chats with Patrick Wood on the Trilateral Commission and it's 40+ year run in planning the future of the world, the one you and I have to suffer through for now. At first, they were the subject of conspiracy theories, today they carry on boldly,  using tech as their weapon of choice to usher in the end game of a New World Order, a phrase first mumbled out loud by George W. Bush. The changes in the world are tectonic, thanks to the Sam Altman types who...

Here on Election Day USA we once again as a ministry whole remind the listener that elections have consequences that stretch far into the future. Until we go home to be with Jesus, we must live and do ministry in this world, under some sort of leadership. What will it be America? What will it be, church? We trust God with the outcome, of course - but we have civic responsibilities to uphold. So, a brief look today at the election regarding voting machine integrity. Then we go on to talking...

[Original airdate: 5/17/24] Mary Danielsen looks at yet another aspect of how multinational corporations and their "better living through science" mindset has continued to wreak havoc on the world. As if the origins of the inorganic chemical industry didn't bring enough grief - from 1854 right on up to Pfizer's Cov19 jab - they won't rest until they control the world's ability to produce enough food. It's amazing to consider the grace of God in providing for a world of billions - and all the...

Mary chats in studio with Robert Meyer, editorial writer for Renew America. Today we take the opportunity to use the full hour to talk about the election and some of the issues facing us collectively as a nation - and as a church in her temporary citizenship. Abortion tops the list, and we look at it from the perspective of the party that deems it the pivotal issue. Why exactly is the abortion demographic so important to the democrats? Half the voting public is women, but not women who are...

Mary welcomes Dr. Danny Faulkner of Answers in Genesis to discuss the heavens and all that is in them. The Psalmist tells us that they declare the glory of God - and the God Who made them lives in the believer.  How can that not inspire awe all by itself? As a culture, going from the beginnings of the space race in the 1960s to today's complex telescopic arrays and the Hubble, we know more than ever about the heavens, vast and boundless. Looking up at the night sky, humans have been doing...

Mary welcomes back Pastor and speaker Andy Woods to talk about all the ways Israel is in the news every day. From a replica of the Ark of the Covenant that's making headlines, to Iran and their vulnerability since Israel took out their defenses, there is always something going on over in the tiny nation.  It's very interesting that all eyes are over there even with the election cycle. We discuss Russia's contributions to Iran's defenses and how they might react to Israel taking down one of...

[Original airdate: 6/13/24] Mary chats with Pastor and author Mike Abendroth who has written a 31 day devotional on how to allow God to shepherd us when we find ourselves suffering from chronic illness. The title alone is very freeing, and when we search the Scriptures, how much more is this true and verified over and over as we seek to get to know our Good Shepherd better. Everyone is shepherded, led - and follows -  something in this life, we are all serving something, someone. But for the...

[Original airdate: 9/10/24] Mary chats with Olivier Melnick, a Jewish believer from France; son of Holocaust survivors and whose maternal grandfather was killed by the Nazis. He is an internationally known speaker on antisemitism. He holds a BA from Moody Bible Institute and a masters from Dallas Theological Seminary. He has been equipping believers to understand and fight antisemitism since 2000, and has written 5 books on the topic and contributed over 600 articles to print and digital...

Today Mary welcomes back David Bowen to discuss God's map and man's map, two different trajectories altogether. According to Ezekiel 5:5, Jerusalem is the center of the world. Can you imagine the uproar in this world if mapmakers followed the Bible's focus on this? But God's economy and man's are polar opposites, and so the war rages on. Psalm 2 tells us that those who would plot against God cause Him to laugh at their plans, but judgment awaits those who would rebel against His claims on...

Mary welcomes back Pete Garcia for a conversation about the Apocalypse. The media is using "of biblical proportions" more and more to describe the world we are in. Climate change, economic meltdown, natural disasters ("birth pangs") and AI takeover of the human race all contribute to apocalyptic fear and fervor. We look at the exponential increase of these types of films over the last 100 years, as well as headlines that invoke fear. To what end? There are multiple answers to that question,...

Mary welcomes back Pastor Chris Quintana today for a discussion of the book of Psalms. Diverse authors, themes and style highlight this wonderful instructional book - which has also comforted many a believer down through the ages. We talk about the structure of the book that has 2461 verses, and the longest book in the bible - Psalm 119 - which is also an acrostic. One of the main authors, David, was a pivotal person in all of history but in the Scriptures, it gets personal with his laments,...

[Original Airdate: 10/9/23] Crash Connell visits with Pastor Kevin Minske, from Christ The Rock Church in De Pere, Wisconsin. The news EVERYONE is talking about; the recent attacks in Israel. Is this their worst attack in history?  How does the biblical Christian respond to what's going on around the world.  Other topics covered: Book of Genesis covers it all, How to KNOW you're born again (John 3) and more. Watch Stand Up For The Truth on YouTube ! More on Israel news on Harbingers...
