In the Market with Janet Parshall
May 30, 2024
Hour 1: Was Jesus A Socialist?
Socialism is making a comeback-and so is the idea that "Jesus was a socialist." Today our guest will show it is pure fantasy to believe that Jesus wanted earthly governments to redistribute wealth, centrally plan the economy, or impose welfare states. Poll after poll shows that young Americans have a positive image of socialism. In fact, more than half say they would rather live in a socialist country than in a capitalist one. Learn how to explode the myths that have lured young people everywhere.
Hour 2: Why Is THAT In The Bible?
What can we learn from a Bible story about a talking donkey? What about the account in Joshua where the sun and moon stand still? Should biblical directives like women wearing head coverings still be followed today? Tackling such tricky questions head-on, our guest will provide fascinating historical and theological insights that help to demystify puzzling passages. Join us for a fascinating conversation.
