*STAND UP FOR THE TRUTH HAS BEEN SHADOW-BANNED BY FACEBOOK FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW; MANY POSTS DO NOT APPEAR IN PEOPLE’S NEWS FEEDS! YOU CAN HELP BY LIKING OUR SHOW PAGE AND SHARING THE POSTS. IT COSTS YOU NOTHING AND DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OTHER PEOPLE SEEING OUR CONTENT. PLEASE SHARE OUR PODCASTS, COMMENT ON POSTS, SUGGEST GUESTS AND SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS HERE.

We invite godly men and women, authors, pastors, Christian leaders, and cultural experts as guests to talk about church and culture trends and topics like: Creation, The Emergent Church, New Age, false teachings, Social Justice, Universalism, Islam, Humanism, marriage, education, government and politics, and Christians conforming to the world. These are just a few of the major issues that we believe we (and you) should be talking about!

Two points about this show that are a big deal: First, we don’t claim to have all the answers. We’re not biblical experts or theologians, but we are passionate about God’s perfect Word and His Church. Second–and most importantly–we aim to glorify Jesus Christ and point you to Scripture as the only authority on absolute Truth.

HISTORY OF THE SHOW – WHY STAND UP FOR THE TRUTH?

David Fiorazo resigned back in July of 2023, General manager Mike LeMay resigned in late 2019, Amy Spreeman, was also a co-host in the early years. The show’s flagship radio station is Q90 FM, Christian radio station in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The vision for Stand Up For The Truth came about in 2010 when, along with some local churches, this ministry took a stand against social justice/liberalism and decided not to sponsor a music & entertainment youth event called Lifest. We opposed speakers such as leftist, Jim Wallis, who promotes divisive, unbiblical theology and progressive politics. To raise awareness of this apostasy in many churches and to help believers discern, Stand Up For The Truth was born.   Church discernment and worldview issues drive the podcast. However, Religious Freedom has been a primary topic since late 2019 when churches were deemed “nonessential.” We also tackle social and political news, the antichrist spirit of the age, big government, COVID 19, ‘cancel culture,’ Black Lives Matter global network, the hijacking of public schools, social justice apostasy, and the one-party Big Tech Media conglomerate.
