Stand Up For The Truth Podcast

[http://www.standupforthetruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/MIKE-AND-DON-122x300.png]In this powerful episode of Stand Up for the Truth, host Dave Wager welcomes long-time friends and global missionaries Don Shire [https://www.dsminternational.org/] and Mike Dawson [https://www.mpaviation.org/]. The conversation centers around Matthew 24:14 and the call to proclaim the gospel to all nations. Mike shares updates from deep in the Amazon rainforest, where he and his teams are discovering hundreds of previously unreached Yanomami villages—many who have never heard the name of Jesus. He explains how they use solar-powered audio Bibles and gospel films like The Passion of the Christ to reach remote tribes, often traveling for days by boat and foot. Dave reflects on the impact of simply showing up for missionaries in the field and how those personal connections can open doors for the gospel in remarkable ways. Don shares stories of his trumpet ministry opening unexpected doors in over 38 countries, including recent work with refugees in Ukraine and orphanages in Haiti and India. What started as a music ministry has grown into a global effort to care for widows, orphans, and the unreached—often in dangerous or politically unstable regions. He and Mike both emphasize that God often uses unlikely people in unexpected ways, encouraging listeners to be willing, available, and open to the burdens God places on their hearts. Through faith, obedience, and divine appointments, their ministries continue to grow, serving as a reminder that God’s plans are far greater than our own qualifications or limitations.

[http://www.standupforthetruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Dave_2009-300x263.jpg]Mary welcomes Dr. David Reagan for the first time to SUFTT. David founded Lamb & Lion Ministries [http://christinprophecy.org] on April 1, 1980 and they are celebrating 45 years of building up and edifying the body of Christ, urging us all to be watchful, prayerful, and joyful in Christ.  Dr. Reagan is a native Texan, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Texas in Austin. His graduate degrees were earned in the field of International Relations from the Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy of Tufts and Harvard Universities. Before entering the ministry, he had an extensive career in higher education. David is a life-long Bible student, teacher, and preacher. He entered the full-time ministry in 1976 when he was called to serve as the pulpit minister for a church in Irving, Texas.  He has written over 20 books and has contributed to many others. Today we talk about the rising perilous tide all around us, starting with Israel’s brilliant attack on Iran. Then we discuss whether socialism is our expected national doom, as the left ratchets up every cause they can dream of, including antisemitism –  an offense to a holy God. Lawlessness and violence threaten to spill over to any community on any day as the left uses whatever crisis suits them to foment trouble. Never mind that they themselves are lawless at heart, when the president tries to establish law and order, and it is vilified, we know just how far the violence has permeated our fragile sense of society. We also talk about the national marches planned for Saturday as it is Trump’s 79th birthday and the 250th anniversary of our Army. The No Kings Movement is gaining steam from the left and could change the face of our nation yet again. What could happen next on this fragile planet is anyone’s guess.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline [https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline] & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A]

[http://www.standupforthetruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/julaine-appling.jpg]Mary welcomes back Julaine Appling for a look at the culture from several angles. One of the best culture warriors out there, Julaine’s faith and trust in Christ always shines through as she looks over the moral issues of the day in Wisconsin and across the fruited plain. Julaine helps us stay on top of the issues so that we can know how to vote and what issues take precedence in our worldview watch. Today we look at the March for Life that will take place in Madison, Wisconsin on June 14. The fight for life will not end in our lifetimes, but there are ways we can stand firm for biblical truth on this one. We take a look at a new resolution to revoke Wisconsin’s constitutional amendment on marriage. The author of the bill hails it as a reversal of previous discriminatory language that “fuels hate”. Of course anyone who affirms God’s one-man-one-woman plan for marriage knows this is progressive mumbo jumbo that discriminates against the truth. We discuss Wisconsin’s voucher plan changes and much more as we look at life, liberty and God’s revealed plan for how a moral society functions best.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline [https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline] & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A]

Tim and Mary take on the week’s roundup with a variety of Kodak moments. Greta Thunberg with her 14 million+ social media fans showed once again how little she understands geopolitical events. It is difficult to understand her symbolism-over-substance approach to world events but being such a tender age, the grownups know she is over her head on all of it. We take a look at her latest cause. Canada is in the news, and not in a good way as they combine with the UK and France to issue yet another ignorant statement on what they think Israel should be doing and why.  Iran is in the news again, and after at least 15 years the world is still grappling with the nuclear potential of that rogue, radical state. Tim sheds some light on that topic. We also look at the top 10 reasons why your money doesn’t stretch anymore – more month left at the end of the money – and what might be next. Health watch, tech watch – all sorts of various and sundry topics this June day. Watch therefore.

[http://www.standupforthetruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Olivier-Melnick-200x300.jpg]Mary welcomes back Olivier Melnick [http://shalominmessiah.com] to discuss the new normal: antisemitism. He is a Jewish believer in Jesus from France, the son of Holocaust survivors, whose maternal grandfather was killed by the Nazis. Olivier is an internationally known speaker on antisemitism. He holds a BA from Moody Bible Institute and a masters from Dallas Theological Seminary, and has been equipping believers to understand and fight antisemitism since 2000. The ramping up of antisemitism is a complete surprise to some, it’s not that long ago that they were the target of genocide during WW2, and if anyone alive has a parent who fought in that war, the connection is still strong. So why now? How are things different? Today we talk about the stages of normalization from his book, “The Normalization of Antisemitism”. World leaders are not so subtly being drawn into this hate as the world turns their back on Israel. Words matter. Words turn to violence. Even our neighbor to the north is being drawn in. Israel can do nothing right, so they might as well do what they are going to do to stave off the end of the west through violence, immigration, and Islam.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline [https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline] & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A]
