Can a path of addiction and crime lead to a positive end? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week Marcus Clapper shared his personal story of discovering God’s power to bring healing and restoration to broken lives. Preston Ulmer explained how we can engage the doubter and skeptic and build a bridge of trust to share the hope of the gospel. There are 5 lies that have taken the lead in modern thinking in this time when more and more people are rejecting the Judeo-Christian way of living. Dr. Rosario Butterfield exposes those five lies, her personal battle against those lies and the lessons she learned that can help us as we confront them in our lives. Evangelist Ray Comfort joined us once again, but this time he pulled the curtain on his own spiritual journey and the radical spiritual transformation that marked his own life and led to the salvations of many others. As we come to the close of the week, we invite you to another exploration of the headlines of the week through the lens of scripture.
On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week, one of our most favorite authors Robert Morgan took into his own personal journey of loss and what he learned about the faithfulness of God. What is “Telos” and how does it apply to and impact how we live our lives? Dr. Stephen Iacoboni explains what this important concept is all about and how it applies to our ability to live our lives the way God intended. Clinical Psychologist and author Dr. Juli Slattery talked boldly and biblically with us about human sexuality and why it is more than a physical act but an aspect of our being and how our shame and guilt around sex can prevent us from coming to God for healing of those wounds. Dr. Vince Vitale helped us explore the age-old questions surround the existence of evil in the world through the application of God’s word, allowing us to bring clear biblical truth to questions that plague the saved and unsaved alike. Join Janet and Craig as they show us how to discern the truth behind the confusion and misrepresentation of news that fills our lives each week.
Ray Comfort repented of his sins and trusted in Christ as a young Kiwi and has taken the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18–20) seriously for over five decades. During those years some of the methods have changed, but the message has remained the same. Ray will join us to discuss his new autobiography and share his story of life without Christ, his conversion, and his calling to proclaim truth. Discover a powerful testimony of an ordinary man supplied with courage by the extraordinary God to point strangers to eternal life.
Join us this hour as we look at the problem of evil. Dr Vince Vitale will join us to answer questions like: Why do we suffer? Why did God allow Satan to rebel? If God is a good God, then why hasn’t He prevented the Devil from causing pain and destruction? What is the ultimate antidote to evil? This conversation is designed to get us to think biblically and critically about the world around us.
Modern culture is increasingly outspoken against a biblical understanding of what it means to be a woman. Even some Christians, swayed by the LGBTQ+ movement, have rejected God’s word on issues of sexuality and gender in favor of popular opinion. In light of these pressures, it’s more important than ever to help women see the truth about who God created them to be. Join us as Dr. Rosaria Butterfield uses Scripture to confront 5 common lies about sexuality, faith, feminism, gender roles, and modesty often promoted in our secular culture today. She will share her personal battle with these lies and interweave her story with cultural studies, literary criticism, and theology—to help us see the beauty in biblical womanhood, marriage, and motherhood.
Sexuality is a hot topic these days, and opinions are all over the place. Dr. Juli Slattery will join us to fill the gap by providing a broader, more comprehensive understanding of what it means to honor God with our sexuality. She will equip single women to understand their sexuality, trust the Lord for redemption and healing, and stand against the cultural trends that marginalize and compromise God’s design for sex.
Is it possible to grow in our Christian faith without engaging the doubter or the skeptic? And if growing in our faith means growing closer to the doubter, how do we do that without compromising what we believe to be true? Join us as Preston Ulmer teaches us how to rebuild the impression the other person has of us as Christians; to rely on an invitation into real life (not a church service) and to redefine progress as imitation, not just immersion.
Atheistic scientists have lied about humanity’s intelligent design for centuries, and their lies have decayed our culture into the social dystopia continually ripening before our eyes. Life and death have purpose, and we belong to all of it, which the ancient Greeks understood as Telos, meaning "the end as it was intended." Join Dr. Stephen Iacoboni, award-winning cancer specialist, as he recounts his impassioned search to discover humanity’s true origin and purpose.
Raised by devout Christian parents, Marcus Clapper always knew God was present, but never fully understood His presence for himself; only through the experience of his parents. With limited knowledge of God and seeking a life gratifying to himself, Clapper embarked on his own life’s path only to become enthralled in addiction, crime, and advertent malfeasances. Fearful, insecure, and depressed, he never believed love, joy, and peace were possible in his life. Join us to hear how he discovered that God heals the broken hearted and sets captives free.
No matter your circumstances or feelings, one thing never changes: God is with you. Pastor Robert Morgan discovered this through the years he cared for his wife with multiple sclerosis. Join us as Robert draws on that hard-won faith to show us that God is present even in times of transition, loss, or doubt.
Good stories make us laugh, cry, fear, dream, hope. They engage our hearts, entertain our minds, and enlighten our souls. God wrote a story—the best story ever!—full of drama, adventure, love, sacrifice, redemption, and has an ending that seems too good to be true. And the greatest thing about God's story is that we are all part of it. His story provides the meaning of life that brings fulfillment of our desires and purpose for our existence. Dr. Jonathan Murphy will join us to show not only what God is doing from creation to eternity, but how everything makes sense as you read the Bible from the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelation. World history is not made up of random people and events but of divine appointment and purpose. Don't miss this great conversation.
