Hour 1: : Eternity In A Manger

Narcissism is challenge for family and friends anytime of the year but especially during the holiday season. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we turned once again to respected therapist who specializes in addressing the multitude of challenges that come with living with a narcissist to give us clear, biblically grounded guidance on dealing with this challenging personality type at this time of year.  China continues its undeterred pursuit of oppression and control as it spreads its influence around the world. To understand just how dangerous this push for control and domination we once again enlisted the expertise of an expert on national security matters to address the pressure that led to the nation’s only democracy focused political party and why our leaders are not addressing the glaring vulnerabilities on our electrical system to Chinese attack. Talking to your kids about the issues that surround sexuality has always been a challenge but in our social media saturated culture our kids are exposed to so much more at a much earlier age and Christian parents can’t shy away from setting up a good, age-appropriate foundation for their kids. We turned to an expert who explained how to explain the proper age to start taking to your kids about sex, how to explain what sexual sin is and how to handle the anxiety and fear that comes with speaking to your kids about such a sensitive topic. This week we were all reminded of the evil of antisemitism as we saw the horrific video of the father and son shooters at the Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebrations in Australia. How should believers respond? Our guest a messianic Jewish believer addressed the complicated issue of antisemitism, exposing its demonic roots and presenting clear, biblically sound guidance on how God’s people should respond to His chosen ones. Even as we head into the Christmas season, deception and misleading ideas continue to populate the news feeds and social media so your need to be ever vigilant watchmen and watchwomen on the walls to protect our families never stops. Join us for another demonstration on how to use the wisdom of God’s word to discern the truth from deception in the headlines of the week.

Hour 2: Salvation In Swaddling Clothes

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we were given a sharp reminder of the thin veil between this life and the next as we heard about brutal stabbing deaths of a Hollywood actor/ director and his wife. We turned to our favorite missionary to the entertainment industry to put this tragedy into context and help you expand your prayer list as family, friends and the industry grapple with this devastating reminder that eternity is merely a breath away.  Although it is not as loud as it has been in recent years, the clanging bells of climate change supporters continue to impact and influence policies that impact all of our lives. We turned to an expert in this field once again to get a clear, science based, biblically grounded understanding the issues including the frigid temperatures this December the concerns over who will pay for the new AI power plants and who will pay for them.  We talked to a man who puts shoe leather to his fight against abortion who shared some of his experiences in front of clinics attempting to save the likes of preborn children. He also addressed a new report that looks at the link between mothers who have abortions and their later emotional distress.  Then we turned to a man who continues to gather vital statics on faith in the United States to explain why there is a serious confusion among so many about eternity, salvation and repentance. Janet’s daughter joined us for another wide-ranging conversation on matters that involved the education of our kids. She told us about the troubles in the Seatle school system, an important victory against the force use of pronouns and an important women’s sports case that the courts will address in the new year. Once again you filled up our phone lines with your calls on the topic of spiritual warfare as one our favorite teachers continued his directing us to God’s word as the source of power and truth against the supernatural forces arrayed against us. From antisemitic attacks around the world to increased oppression from China to the increased encroachment of artificial intelligence, our need to have a biblically sound way to look at and understand the events going around has never been more apparent. That is why we once again invite you to another important conversation with our favorite husband and wife team who continue to teach us how to examine the news through the unfiltered lens of scripture.
