In the Market with Janet Parshall
April 26, 2023
Hour 1: Man Or Machine?
Join us for a very thought-provoking conversation about life and AI. We start with some new data based on information gleaned from abortion patients. Who is the typical woman who gets an abortion? Do the numbers of abortions verify state by state? And if so, why? We then turn our attention to AI. Can we infuse human characteristics into a machine? Can a robot be made to have feelings like love and fear? An astrophysicist will share his thoughts. Put your thinking caps on as we dig deep while thinking critically and biblically.
Hour 2: A Faith That Will Not Fail
Life can be hard. Although there are moments of beauty and goodness, more often than not, life is marked by fear, struggle, disappointment, and loss. And we don't know what to do with it. We've tried to find hope and security in various people and places--but each has proved unworthy of our trust. We need more. Something--or Someone--who won't fail us when our world falls apart. Our guest, a much-loved Bible teacher will teach us how to:
· Practice lament and process grief without guilt or shame
· Understand what keeps you from trusting God and how to navigate doubt with truth
· Learn simple ways to foster shalom and gratitude on a daily basis
· Develop a fresh, eternal perspective that delivers both peace for today and hope for tomorrow
· Savor daily "faith-builder" practices to strengthen your confidence in God's love and purposes for you, no matter what happens
