In the Market with Janet Parshall
August 14, 2023
Hour 1: Fighting for Our Families and Our Troops
Join us for a great hour of conversation. We start with some of the stories making headlines and then discuss a lawsuit filed by parents in Maryland who are fighting back against a woke agenda that obliterated parents’ rights. Wokeness has also infiltrated our military and must be stopped. What is Congress doing to stop the spread of this nefarious ideology? Get ready to think critically and biblically.
Hour 2: Atheists Finding God
In a Western culture of increasing skepticism towards conservative Christianity, what motivates intellectually-driven atheists to believe in the reality of God and become passionate followers of Christ? A review of social science literature confirms a predominant functional approach to religious conversion, effectively reducing a complex, substantive phenomenon to a partial functional explanation. Today, our guest will take a broader look at religious conversion to determine the precursors and pathways from atheistic disbelief to belief in God and Christianity within an educated population. Many former atheists not only experienced a change of their worldview, but also a dramatic transformation of their ‘whole world.’
