Summary

Stand Up For The Truth paused regular programming for a Q Drive hour with Mary Danielsen and guest Julaine Appling, President Emeritus of Wisconsin Family Council/Wisconsin Family Action. They framed marriage and family as God’s first institution and the foundation for church and civil society. Appling challenged the 50 percent divorce myth, urged Bible-believing churches to champion marriage with robust premarital counseling, inventories, and mentoring, and highlighted practices like recognizing anniversaries and sharing testimonies. Data points noted Wisconsin’s low divorce rate and long marriage duration, while cautions covered cohabitation, delayed marriage, below-replacement birth rates, and the moral problems tied to certain contraceptives and IVF. She also celebrated Planned Parenthood clinic pauses and closures, warned about cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers, and called pastors to teach clearly on life, marriage, and religious freedom.

Throughout the hour, listeners were invited to help fund the first six months of 2026, with Q Drive at roughly 46 percent of the $195,000 goal. The team encouraged giving by phone at 800-979-9010 or online at q90fm.com and standupforthetruth.com. Final takeaways for the church were simple and actionable, prepare couples biblically and practically, model strong marriages and family devotions, commit to a local church, engage elected officials as a mission field, and pray for pastors while holding fast to truth without compromise.
