In the Market with Janet Parshall

Hour 1: The Church’s One Foundation

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we kicked off the week with some much-needed encouragement as our guest took us to the final book of the Bible to explain some of the most common confusions and to prepare us for the glorious future God has planned for His children. We took a look at the importance of the 7 churches of Revelation, explained who the Anti-Christ is and drew a picture of what life in the millennial kingdom will really be like.  Why is there such a stigma in the church regarding mental health? Our guest explained the importance of church’s recognizing the need to care for members who struggle with mental health concerns, what is involved in creating a mental health team at your church and she shared some encouraging stories of church teams that are working and producing life-transformative results. If your well has run dry from the bombardment of our “me driven” society and you need a time of true refreshment, we had the perfect escape for you as we spoke to a Canadian pastor who challenged us to turn away from the distractions of this world and to turn our eyes toward the omnipotence of God. He says that once we can find deep and abiding hope and encouragement for our lives when we turn our focus onto Him and His power, beauty and goodness. We returned to the topic of mental health in the church later in the week because it is a multi-faceted issue. Our second guest to address this topic is a counselor and former pastor who has seen this from behind the pulpit and among the people. He says that church leaders lack the training necessary to help those who struggle. He offered clear, biblically sound guidance for recognizing the symptoms of mental illness and how to minister God’s love and provide support for those who are hurting. The end of another week is upon us. So, it is time to ring the class bell and get in our seats as our favorite teaching team continue showing us how to develop a biblically discerning eye as we examine the news we find in the marketplace of ideas every day.

Hour 2: How Firm A Foundation

It seems like everywhere you turn anymore there are stories in the news that challenge us to think critically and biblically about what is going on around us. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we spoke to our expert on climate and the environment and the regulations regarding them and he told us about some important changes regarding classification of carbon dioxide, why the European Union wants more use of artificial intelligence and more conflicts with the NetZero polices being heralded just a few short years ago. Then we spoke to a front line fighter for American sovereignty as she continues to update on of the World Health Organization’s unrelenting push to impose international health regulations on all people in all countries that will digital I.D.’s that can track every aspect of your life and would open the door to the kind of social control currently in practice in communist China. Our guest explained why legislation is needed to protect our national sovereignty from this invasive effort and we posted a link to a petition you can sign on our website so that you can join in the fight. Traditional, orthodox Christian beliefs that were once both commonly known and universally accepted are being challenged like never before. Preachers and teachers are leading people astray with what the apostle Paul referred to as “another gospel”. Our guest said that this confusion is leading to legalism, wrong thinking about grace and an over emphasis on prosperity. He took us back to the scriptures to expose these lies and subtle deceptions as a way of lifting their burden off of people’s hearts and turning once again back to the unchanging power and truth of the true gospel. It is fair to say that the Christian life has no power apart from the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave. That world transforming event, broke the curse of sin and set captive humanity free. But how much do we avail ourselves of that transformative power? Our guest, a respected apologist, explained the archeological evidence to His resurrection, why His resurrection is SO important and how to use that truth to draw others to the foot of His cross. Once again, we encouraged you to bring your questions to our conversation with a respected expert on the encroachment of the so-called ‘gay gospel”. Having come out of that lifestyle, our guest has been able to see its growing impact on the church of today and how much more acceptance of this false gospel has grown over the years. He offered clear, biblical sound answers to some of the most challenging aspects of this issue for families, friends and churches. Janet and Craig are back with another examination of the headlines of the week through the unchanging lens of scripture.
