In the Market with Janet Parshall

Hour 1: Faith In The Face of Uncertainty

Often believers associate God’s grace ONLY with His provision of salvation through the life, death and resurrection of Christ.  But we spoke to a man who drew us deep into the heart of God through His word to demonstrate how wrong that assumption truly is. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we saw how God’s grace has been woven through every jot and tittle of scripture. From the very beginning of mankind’s story in Genesis, to the life of Jonah to that ultimate demonstration on the cross, our guest helped us understand and better appreciate the magnitude of this unmerited gift. We spent time with a scientist and former atheist who shared his journey to saving faith and challenged the false, but common belief, that science and faith are mutually exclusive ideas. He showed how ongoing scientific research is continuing to disprove the assertions of evolution and repeatedly support God’s description of His creation including how we came to be. The ideas of Karl Marx have been repackaged for a new generation with multi-colored wrapping and a shiny bow, all to disguise the same old vile and evil belief system that it has always been. Our guest unwrapped that box and revealed the origins of Marxism, who Karl Marx really was and how his fascination with Satan leached itself into every part of his soul-destroying creation. Then in contrast we turned our eyes to the apostle Peter as we saw his journey from rebellious incompetence to seasoned leader and in the process learned how to face our own challenges by using the same tool he used, the Word of God. From the ongoing crisis in the Middle East, to the continual encroachment of artificial intelligence, to the word domination dreams of China, all around us the world is sitting on a knife’s edge creating confusion, fear and uncertainty. But Janet and Craig invite us once again to draw away from all the clamor to learn how to listen to and use God’s word to guide us clearly and safely through that blizzard of rhetoric that we encounter daily.

Hour 2: Certainty In The Face of Confusion

The fight to save the unborn got some good news! On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we shared with you the news that an unprecedented number of Planned Parenthood clinics have shut their doors across the nation. We also helped you to once again lengthen your prayer lists as we heard about more believers around the world who are laying their lives down to the sake of the gospel. Why does witnessing seems to be one of the hardest things for believers to do? Our guest challenged us all with this eternally important question. He confronted and encouraged us with God’s word regarding the importance of sharing the good news with a lost world. Taking some of the fear out of the proposition, our guest used scripture to show believer how to live lives that invite people ask about the difference and thereby create openings to share Christ with them. It is an old adage, but true nonetheless, “Freedom isn’t free!” And in our day and age it is under assault like never before. From surveillance technology all around us to the increase acceptance of socialism at the highest levels of government leadership, freedoms that previous generations fought to preserve are now the sacrificial lambs to totalitarianism. Our guest encouraged us to not only recognize the times we are living in but to take action now before it is too late to take action at all! Is God passe’, past His prime, a relic of past generations that didn’t know better? You might be surprised to learn that many of the people you drive by in your daily commute or pass in the grocery aisle believe this. Our guest explained how we have changed from a God-fearing nation to one that has pushed Him aside. His practical strategies helped us understand the root of the struggles and how to address them boldly and biblically as we continue to contend for the faith. The end of the week is upon us and that means it is time to sit down for another radio classroom lesson on using God’s word as the measuring stick of truth against the false, misleading and dangerous ideas bought and sold in the marketplace of ideas every day. Our favorite husband and wife teaching team are ready to show us how to discern the truth from the lies, as they examine more of the headlines of the week.
