In the Market with Janet Parshall

Hour 1: Fighting The Good Fight

It is easy for believers to believe that women who have abortions have no Christian affiliation or background. But that simply is not true. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we had a sobering yet encouraging conversation with a woman who despite her Christian background chose to have an abortion. She shared the shame and struggle that she and others have gone through dealing with not only the loss of the child but the feeling that they have committed a sin that God will never forgive them for. Through her vulnerability we saw God’s love and forgiveness demonstrated as an encouragement to others who struggle with the same guilt and shame after their choice. At first blush the arguments of atheists against the belief in God sound plausible and logical and that often stops Christians in their tracks from engaging and challenging those who subscribe to such beliefs. But we gave you some tools to enter into the fray with the help of a regular friend of the program who used his skills as an apologist along with common sense biblical insight to address some of those common arguments. He showed us that underneath those high-minded words are arguments that cannot stand up to intense scrutiny and biblically grounded truth. China continues to push its agenda of world domination. We turned once again to a highly respected expert on security at home and abroad to get the latest from him about how President XI is preparing for war with Taiwan, how Chinese hackers were able to breach Microsoft and the multiple other avenues that government is using to wage war against the United States. Is it possible to win an argument with a narcissist? That is just one of many questions tackled by our expert in this damaging personality type as she continues to address your concerns by grounding her answers in solid therapeutic practice and solid biblical insight. As we come to the end of another week, the need for us to be ever vigilant watchmen on the wall does not subside. We invite you to sharpen your vision and discernment skills as Janet and Criag continue teaching us how to use God’s word as a defense against the enemies that attack our faith and our families

Hour 2: Running The Straight Race

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we tackled the many shades of conflict and how important it is to maintain self-control at those times. It is much easier said than done. So we turned to a friend of this program who is an expert in relational dynamics combined with the application of scripture to get some guidance on the keys to regulating our emotions during these volatile times to both honor the Lord and find real solutions to the issues we face. One of our favorite bible teachers joined us this week as we dove deep into the issue of prayer, specifically regarding praying in the name of Jesus. He cleared away the confusion over this practice and explained why is not a “magical” statement that gets God to do what we want. He also addressed whether or not God ever says “NO” our prayer requests, what His reasons might be and how we should prepare our heart to respond to whatever His answer is. In all of human history only one person and one question has ever really mattered: Why Jesus? Eternal destinations for each and every one of us depend on how we answer that question. We turned to another friend of the program and a highly respected evangelist, author and teacher who daily hits the streets to share the hope of the gospel with others, to help us understand how to do the same and get people to realize the eternal significance of Jesus and how and why their eternal future is tied up with their answer to the question: Why Jesus? Are we knowingly or unknowingly shirking an important responsibility that God gave through the Abrahamic Covenant? Our guest says that believers were meant to go out an influence the world at large with God’s precepts and values. He also spoke about the importance of intercession as we go out to represent Christ and His kingdom in an increasingly hostile world. Once again, we invite you to join our favorite husband and wife team as they teach us how to expose the rhetoric and misinformation that is easily available in the marketplace of ideas today, by scrutinizing it under the white-hot light of God’s truth.
