In the Market with Janet Parshall
October 13, 2025
Hour 1: AI – Blessing or Curse?
Doug Smith knows what goes on behind the tech curtain. He joins us today to discuss a recent event held at a Christian college where a major player in the tech industry posited the idea that AI is "value neutral", but is it? Is progress always good? Is AI designed to 'eliminate poverty' or is that the job of the Church, the government, and the Christ-follower? Join us for a timely and important conversation on the new technology working its way into the Church.
Hour 2: Do I Need Boundaries?
The inability to say "no" can result in overcommitment, leaving us exhausted and even bitter toward those who make demands on our time and energy. Similarly, compromising our beliefs to keep a relationship can draw us away from who God has made us to be and what he has called us to do. In both cases, we need to be able to set wise boundaries, prioritizing pleasing God rather than pleasing others or even ourselves. Christian counselor Jim Newheiser will offer practical advice for setting appropriate boundaries in our relationships and use real-life scenarios to teach how to manage difficult situations.
