Chris Quintana: Extinction-Level Optimism

Chris Quintana: Extinction-Level Optimism

Author: David Fiorazo July 9, 2026 Duration: 55:46
Mary welcomes back Chris Quintana to talk about the end of the world as we know it - and how does that make us feel? Well, anxious, exhausted, irritable, pushed to our limit. Where have all the optimists gone? Do they even exist philosophically these days? But wait, there's more! If we do feel fine, it can only mean one thing: that we are walking with Jesus and realize He is in control. Outside of that, it's quite possible we are living our most anxious life now and it manifests itself in many ways. Now that the church is not teaching prophecy, or the Bible even, really, what other triggers await? Evil men and seducers, and ravenous wolves make even going to church discouraging. This ought not to be because gathering together as we see the day approaching is not a suggestion from Paul. Taking communion in memory of Him until He returns is a crucial practice as well. We talk about anxiety, what it is, and how to squash it on today's edition of SUFTT.     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A
