Gary Kah: Pray Without Ceasing – World Events Edition

Mary welcomes new guest Todd Hampson as we discuss the building blocks of Bible prophecy. Undertaking a systematic study of such a broad subject can be daunting, unless a few things are kept in mind, which will in turn make everything fall into place! Definitions, definitions, definitions! What is amillennialism? What is the church age? Why is the pre-trib rapture the most solid from a biblical standpoint - types and pictures are found in the Scriptures. What was Jesus saying to the 7 churches? If we interpret prophecy from a futurist perspective, it really weaves together beautifully, but if the approach is one of past fulfillment of Revelation, we hit numerous snags that proponents of these alt views never seem to be able to resolve. A great primer on the basics this morning. Todd is a speaker, illustrator, animation producer, and the author of The Non-Prophet's Guide™ book series. He is also a co-host on the Prophecy Pros Podcast alongside Jeff Kinley. Todd's award-winning animation company, Timbuktoons, has produced content for many well-known ministry organizations.

Mary welcomes Jeff Kinley, a former pastor and best-selling author of 40 books. He is a recognized expert and thought leader in the field of Bible Prophecy, having authored 12 books on the subject. Jeff connects with this generation, engaging them with biblical truth in a fresh, practical way. His weekly podcasts - The Vintage Truth Podcast and The Prophecy Pros Podcast (with Todd Hampson) are heard in over 120 countries. This Podcast now has over 1,000,000 downloads and ranks in the Top 1% of all podcasts in America. Jeff and Todd take the Prophecy Pros conferences on the road to many communities, and through Prophecy Pros Academy, offer the student a tremendous theological foundation in a 3 year period of time. Today we look at the God Who rewards those who diligently seek Him by discussing Jesus Himself - and how no one in history can make any single claim that He can. Once we determine Who He is, then we can decide if Bible prophecy is even worth our time, and what it means for every single person who ever lived on earth. Jeff's books include such titles as, "The End of the World According to Jesus",  "As it Was in the Days of Noah", and "God's Grand Finale". These titles and more can be found here.    Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Tim and Mary Danielsen take apart some current headlines today, further cementing the notion that our worldview matters when it comes to discerning the times. First up, we look at the UN and their age-old longing to tax the life out of all of us and call it a world government. It takes money to run the world, and they intend to fund it to the hilt. Next we look at the topic of the Third Temple, and those who want to take it by force - vs those who simply know with confidence that it will be in God's timing. A recent video circulating has the Arab world a bit upset, we will talk about that.  Also on the agenda, the IMF is having a confab, they and the World Bank are also longing for complete control. We discuss the latest nonsense from Christianity Today magazine, a long time rag that seems more and more confused as to what "Christianity" actually is. They might just go the way of the iconic Christian bookstore before long. We summarize the late pope's beliefs; the Days of Lot; and stories the media is ignoring.

Mary welcomes back Stand Up favorite Gary Kah to talk about ongoing world events in this first half of 2025. More importantly, are we praying and taking these events to the Lord, knowing He has it all in hand and yet understanding how important intercession is to protect and defend what we have been given? With this unique perspective, we look at both domestic and foreign issues, such as the US economy, Europe, Israel and much more. We often look at prophecy and ask "how late is it?" - but to God, Who is outside of time, the hour isn't as important as seeking His face, His will, His direction. Gary has been warning us about globalism way before anyone else, and while the wheels grind rather slowly in our lifetimes, here we are and still observing the push-and-pull between nationalism and globalism - and knowing that The Restrainer is at work until such a time that the scales tip toward the kingdom of Antichrist.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Dr. JB Hixson Mary welcomes back JB Hixson on this Good Friday to talk about the importance of clinging to the cross in living out our day to day faith. When Jesus gave up His spirit, the veil in the temple was torn in two. This was no window curtain, it was at least 60 feet high and 4" thick - and separated the common area of the Temple from the Holy of Holies accessible only by the High Priest. The symbolism is simple: through the rending of the flesh of our Saviour, we now have access by grace to God through Jesus. What a glorious truth. This also means that we can not rely on ritual, tradition, or works to draw near to God, we are now bondsmen of Christ. So, once we understand that, what would the life of the believer look like? What should the church look like not just in our day to day service to God but corporately? Has the church become distracted by far too many bells, whistles, and sound systems? Are we still connected to the Head? The daily life of confession, repentance, cleansing and faith, minus any righteousness of our own is truly the only way to the fruitful Christian life. Circumcision of the heart.     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Mary welcomes back David Bowen to talk about the Road to Emmaus, that beautiful account that took place the afternoon of Resurrection Sunday. There are 89 verses about Holy Week in the Gospels, nearly a third. It's almost as though everything else in the gospels is merely an introduction to the main event! We will look at those 2 disciples, returning home after a grueling week in Jerusalem of crowds and events - Passover, the trial of Jesus, the crucifixion, the resurrection. What to make of it all? What a weekend - and now they are processing as they walk along. Then a stranger joins them, and asks why they are cast down and sad as they walk, and they respond incredulously - where were You when all this took place? Are you unaware of what has all transpired? And without recognizing their Saviour, they are treated to the most incredible Bible study ever, from the Master Himself. Wouldn't it have been incredible to be a part of that? Then we go back in time a bit and discuss Palm Sunday, and the most amazing prophecy of all - Daniel 9. Finally, we look at why Jesus had to be crucified instead of stoned. A full hour of Holy Week insights with David.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Tim and Mary discuss the newsworthy items of the day, at least from a media point of view. It's always been a bit of a grab bag because there are always things going on behind the scenes that don't seem to warrant further inspection by those who curate our news. At least in the days of constant feeds, some of them leak out. Today we look at the Iran talks, and try to parse out who the players are. Antisemitism continues on in public events, in this case, an event at Princeton. Who will ensure that someone is accountable for this latest mess? There wasn't even a school ID necessary, probably because that leaves the door open for paid actors to come in and rile everyone up. Also on the agenda: China rare earth elements, and why the US has to care about that; and the latest on Smart Cities for Dummies. What the globalists think is important; ie, what they can get away with, never ceases to amaze. One has to wonder what globalists like Klaus Schwab think of Islam because they might get overridden by that global agenda. Interesting times indeed.

Mary welcomes back historian William Federer to talk about the unthinkable: the encroachment of Islam in America - in alarming ways. In 2006, Keith Ellison became the first Muslim elected to Congress. He swore his oath on the Qua'ran. Today in Texas, two Islamic lawmakers are leading the Pakistainification of the Lone Star State. How Islam is affecting our world here in 2025 is every bit as important as it was back in the 7th century. Cities like Pflugerville, Plano, and Sugarland Texas are finding out just how the idea that Islam is just another religion that should be tolerated is so dangerous. The flag of Islamic dominance is being planted in our nation and who is sounding the alarm? The cost of our silence, starting at the ballot box, is going up by the hour.  William Federer is a nationally known speaker, best-selling author, and president of Amerisearch, Inc., a publishing company dedicated to researching America's heritage.His AMERICAN MINUTE radio feature is broadcast daily across America and by the Internet. His Faith in History television airs on the TCT Network on stations across America.

In this solo NEW episode of Stand Up for the Truth, guest host Dave Wager turns our focus to the timeless wisdom of Psalm 37. Dave walks through the full chapter, emphasizing five clear alternatives to worry: trust in the Lord, delight in Him, commit your actions to Him, be still in His presence, and turn from anger. Drawing from both Scripture and personal experiences, Dave explains how these practices offer practical hope in a culture plagued with anxiety and fear. Psalm 37 reminds us that fretting over the wicked is as useless as rubbing sandpaper on wood until there’s nothing left—worry only wears us out. God, not our emotions or circumstances, is our fortress in times of trouble. Dave also reflects on how God’s justice and care contrast with the empty promises of the world. While evil may flourish temporarily, the wicked will fade like grass—but those who know and trust God will endure, and their steps will be guided by Him. Through illustrations ranging from college conversations to a powerful childhood memory of his father standing up to injustice, Dave encourages believers to live lives marked by righteousness, generosity, and peace. If you’re feeling worn down by life’s chaos, this episode invites you to rest in God’s truth, re-frame your focus, and remember who truly holds the future.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Mary chats with Q90's very own Terra Koslowski on human trafficking, the trading in humans by those who themselves are slaves to human lust and greed. Whereas as a culture, we lived according to the maxim of loving people and using things, the trafficking and porn industry survives by using humans and loving things. Terra has been a committed educator, advocate, and trainer in the fight against human trafficking for over 20 years. In 2010, Terra founded “Stop the Traffick: Make Some Noise,” an annual Human Trafficking Awareness Day Rally in her hometown of Oshkosh, WI, which inspired similar events in surrounding cities. She has played a key role in the establishment of Damascus Road Project, a faith-based non-profit organization located in Oshkosh, WI since it began in 2009 and currently serves as the Education and Engagement Director teaching and training the community about human trafficking awareness and how to get involved. She also shares the morning show mic with Crash from 6-9am Monday - Friday. With the NFL Draft coming up in Green Bay in 2 weeks, the flow of fans, tourists and sex trade opportunists will far surpass the population of Green Bay. What is trafficking? What are some of the myths? How do people get "drafted" into it? Parents, the statistics on how your children are targeted are very sobering. Get involved! We tell you how.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A
