In the Market with Janet Parshall
August 30, 2023
Hour 1: Endangered Virtues
In recent years, it is with grave concern we have watched the rapid changes taking place in America and throughout the world. As a people, we are increasingly engaged in an ideological tug-of-war that will determine our future, and that of generations to come. The objective of our conversation today is to inquire what kind of people serious Christians are called to be. Hopefully, we can give intelligent and prayerful thought to our responses to changes coming to the world with startling forcefulness, but that has been met with equally astonishing complacency. Silence, neutrality, and docile compliance will not be an option much longer.
Hour 2: Persuasive Apologetics
Loving our neighbors well includes engaging in robust conversations that destabilize false belief systems. In addressing the mind, will, and emotions of actual, complex people, Christian believers must develop various approaches to meet diverse personalities and multiple connection points. Our guest, a pastor and professor, will explore what's below the surface of intellectual-sounding objections to Christianity. He will show what it means to contend for the truth through real-life examples of communicating with those who hold differing beliefs.
IN THIS EPISODE
Michael Phillips
Michael Phillips is one of many in a rising generation of spiritual offspring of C.S. Lewis, George MacDonald, and the legacy of the Inklings, has made it his life’s passion to promote the teachings of these giants of the past. Following the tradition of C.S. Lewis, he stands with others through the years who have shared a vision to awaken interest in the man known as the “Father of the Inklings.” Phillips is widely known as George MacDonald’s redactor, publisher, and biographer, whose vision and editorial expertise–building upon the forerunning work of C.S. Lewis, Elizabeth Yates, and Rolland Hein–helped bring MacDonald back from obscurity in the 1980s when his realistic novels had been nearly forgotten. Author and editor of over 100 books, Phillips’ efforts helped ignite the MacDonald renaissance of recent years. Phillips is recognized as among the world’s foremost purveyors of MacDonald’s message, with particular insight into the Scotsman’s heart and spiritual vision. He began his distinguished writing career in 1977 with several non-fiction titles. Since that time, he has authored over twenty non-fiction books, most notably dealing with the nature and character of God and the Fatherhood of God. After turning to the writing of novels in the mid – 1980s, Phillips has penned some sixty fiction titles of great variety. Most of his series have been best sellers in the Christian market.
