In the Market with Janet Parshall
November 06, 2023
Hour 1: Grace to Children
The church's response to child and adolescent mental health disorders has too often been characterized by fear and misinformation rather than grace or wisdom. The result has been families that desperately need practical advice and pastoral care on these disorders, and on the thorny issues that often surround them. Our guest, a psychologist, will discuss various issues that members of our own church families deal with like: autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, disruptive behavior disorders, depression, bipolar disorders and more. Learn how the Church has a unique role to play in being part of a supportive community.
Hour 2: Medical Misinformation
Join us this hour as we take a look at the question of whether or not abortions have increased (as some say) or have decreased (what the numbers may truly reveal) since the toppling of Roe v Wade. We then discuss the overreach of the WHO and why American sovereignty is at risk. Should we, as a nation, submit to any global entity? We have a lot of ground to cover so join us as we think critically and biblically about the world around us.
