In the Market with Janet Parshall

Hour 1: Truth That Doesn’t Change

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East continues to create both challenges and opportunities. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we spoke with dedicated evangelist to the people of Iran who shared with us the difficulty that people are living through as the regime in power continues to exert control amidst water and electricity shortages. He told us despite the hardships more young people are turning away from Islam and discovering the life-giving hope of Christ and the gospel.  Then we looked at the confusing actions of the FDA on abortion pills. A highly respected doctor who is on the front lines of the fight for the preborn explains why there are no protections for women who are encouraged to take the drugs, what these pills actually to the mother and baby and why it is important to tell women that there are other options and protections for them and their child.  What can cause you to lose the joy and intimacy of your spiritual relationship with God? Our guest said that there are lies that many believers fall prey to that do that sort of damage to the believers walk. He explained those lies and gave us some clear biblical guidance of how to replace those lies with solid biblical truth. Sometimes the road of the Christian life seems to be full of potholes and speed bumps, but those difficulties are no surprise to a sovereign God who uses these obstacles to grow and mature His children in their faith. Our guest explained how living out your faith is the only way to navigate these challenges.  We turned to one our favorite guests, a highly respected bible teacher and author to help us understand a vital part of the Christian life that many do not really understand or know how to implement in their lives, worship. He took us back to scripture to show us the necessity of worship and how it can transform and deepen your walk with the Lord. The end of the week is here, and we invite you to join our favorite husband and wife duo as they instruct us on how to use the Word to measure the confusing and misleading ideas that populate the marketplace of ideas.

Hour 2: Hope That Can Not Fail

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we visited with a highly respected expert on mental health matters who shared snapshots from her personal journey as the background for wide-ranging conversation on anxiety. She explained what anxiety is and is not, what causes anxiety and how to deal with it when it rears its ugly head. Our favorite Scottish apologist joined us for a very personal conversation about taking the trip from Australia back to Scotland to bid a final farewell to his mother. He shared with us the important lesson he took away from that experience. Then shifting gears, he addressed the accusation from a Canadian leader that the bible is full of “hate speech” and how a once trusted news service has fallen into deceptive practices and passing on misinformation as truth.  A former gay man who had his life transformed has become a dedicated advocate for a return to God’s standard for sexuality. He has created a powerful media presentation that is opening eyes and transforming lives. He joined us to share a wide-range view of this very important tool. We helped you stretch your prayer list by sharing more stories of God at work in the entertainment industry. Then a bestselling author joined us to talk about the true meaning of Christmas and the transformative power of the Christmas story and how the story of Jesus entering into our world is the most important story ever told in human history. The news never stops and neither does our need to look at it with a critical, biblically sound eye. Join us for another exploration of some of the most important headlines of the week through the lens of scripture.
