Best of In The Market with Janet Parshall: God-Given or Bust

American exceptionalism is rooted in the idea that individual rights come from God and the government is only in place to preserve and protect those rights. But America’s losing sight of that concept. America’s turning into a country where the government grants rights and privileges to only those the government deems worthy—and takes them from those it deems unworthy. This is not how the Founding Fathers envisioned the nation; this is not how the concept of inalienable rights coming from a Creator works. Rather, this is how Marxism, communism, and collectivism spread.

If we want a nation that’s free for generations to come, then we must reclaim the notion of God-given and ditch the idea of government-granted. The only way to do that is for Americans of faith to rise up and inject biblical values and godly principles into government, culture, and society, and put God once again at the center. It’s time to demand the God-given—or the great American experiment will come to an end.

Best of In The Market with Janet Parshall: Are We Living In The End Times?

The words of Jesus remind Christians that--even though we do not know the date when He will return--we need to have our finger on the pulse of what is happening morally, spiritually, and politically in our world. And with the increasing chaos, division, and war happening today, it is right to ask, "Are we living in the end times now?" Today, our guest will provide biblical answers to seven frequently asked questions about the future:

1. What Does the Bible Mean by the End Times?

2. What Role Does Israel Play in the End Times?

3. What News Events Signal the End Times?

4. What Are the Major Events of the End Times?

5. What's the Difference between the Rapture and the Second Coming in the End Times?

6. Why Has God Delayed the End Times?

7. How Do I Prepare for the End Times?

Getting answers to these questions--and understanding the phenomenal events that are going to happen before the revelation of the King of kings and Lord of lords--helps believers face the future with hope and confidence.

Best of In The Market with Janet Parshall: Faithfully Different

In an increasingly secular society, those who have a biblical worldview are now a shrinking minority. As the mainstream culture grows more hostile toward the Bible’s truths and those who embrace them, you’ll face mounting pressures—from family, friends, media, academia, and government—to change and even abandon your beliefs. But these challenges also create abundant opportunities to stand strong for Christ and shine the light on those hurt by the darkness of our day. Our guest, an author, and apologist will share with us how to live out our faith with conviction, discernment, and courage. You’ll be equipped to

· Identify and respond to today’s most significant worldview pressures, such as cancel culture, secular social justice, progressive Christianity, deconstruction, virtue signaling, and more

Best of In The Market with Janet Parshall: It’s Not Like Being Black

We are living in crazy times. Biological men are competing and winning against biological women in sports. The newest Supreme Court justice declined to answer the simple question: “What is a woman?” Record numbers of young Americans now identify as transgender. Sexually explicit materials permeate schools. Pedophiles have rebranded as “minor-attracted persons.” To make matters even worse, many evangelical leaders, eager to appease the culture, have gone along to get along—even excusing and redefining sinful behavior as a mere “sexual identity.” Our guest, a pastor and bestselling author, will join us to equip Christians to fight back against this pervasive sexual identity ideology and stand firm in biblical truths.

Best of In The Market with Janet Parshall:Does The Bible Affirm Same-Sex Relationships?

You may have heard the claim that the Bible, when read correctly, is not against believers entering monogamous, faithful same-sex relationships. The arguments sound quite compelling. "Jesus never talked about same-sex relationships.” “Paul was only condemning exploitative relationships, not consensual ones.” “We don’t keep the Old Testament food laws, so why would we keep the ones on same-sex sex?” “If God is love, he can’t be against relationships of love.” And more. Have Christians through the ages just been getting this one wrong? Our guest will look at some of the most common arguments used to claim that the Bible affirms same-sex sex relationships. She will analyze the arguments and associated Bible passages to uncover what the Bible really says. For our guest, as someone with a lifelong history of same-sex attraction, this is not just an academic question. But rather than concluding that the Bible does affirm same-sex marriage, she will point us to the purpose of male-female marriage, a different kind of gospel-centered love between believers of the same sex, and God's life-and-love-filled vision for singleness.

Best of In The Market with Janet Parshall: The Perilous Fight

Does America no longer feel like home? Widespread divorce rates, the erosion of traditional marriage, the popular rise of radical ideologies, attacks on faith, and government interference are only a few of the factors contributing to the struggles of families in our culture. And because of the importance of healthy families to every part of our national life, the breakdown of the family threatens to rob us of the country we love. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Our guest fears we are losing the country we love. He joins us today to give us the facts, inspiration, and theory-to-action answers we need to restore a key foundation of America: the family. Strong families are the cornerstone of strong communities. Strong communities build a strong nation. Only when we prioritize the family as an institution established by God will we proudly remain the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Best of In The Market with Janet Parshall: Misled

For an anxious and weary world, the gospel of Jesus Christ is the one true source of deep peace and lasting joy. But today, many supposedly Christian teachers are spreading ideas that amount to what Paul called "another gospel."

The result? A generation of believers confused about what God really says, what He offers, and what He wants for his children. From the heavy burden of legalism to an overemphasis on prosperity or spiritual gifts to warped understandings of grace, every false teaching has two things in common: they all use half-truths that look and sound biblical (making them very difficult to identify) and they all harm and discourage those who are trying to follow the way of Jesus. Our guest will share the painful consequences of following false teachings and will provide clear explanations of what the Bible really teaches about the gospel. He will bring clarity and hope to anyone who has felt discouraged or confused in their spiritual journey—and will invite us to discover everything we’ve been searching for in the true Gospel.

Best of In The Market: Climate and Energy

The attempted cures for climate change are generally worse than the disease—especially for the poor. Demands to transform the global energy infrastructure to depend heavily on wind, solar, and other renewables are harmful to people in America and the world–especially to the poor. Meanwhile, continued large-scale use of traditional energy sources like nuclear, hydro, and fossil fuels would reduce poverty while doing less harm to the environment. Join us as our guests combine outstanding climate science, physics, economics, environmental science, political science, ethics, and theology to present a well-reasoned understanding of human-induced climate change and how to respond to it.

Best of In The Market with Janet Parshall: Ex-Muslim Guide To Christianity

Ostracized. Alone. Disoriented. You’ve left your family, community, and everything you’ve known behind. You may have found a loving church community, but no one really understands what it’s been like. It feels like there are disconnects between what you know about faith and how your fellow Christians seem to understand God.

You’re not alone… and the blocks between your Muslim-based thought patterns and Christian theology are very real.
Join us to learn of the unique challenges faced by ex-Muslims and why relating to God as our Heavenly Father is key to understanding:

Best of In The Market with Janet Parshall: Body Of Proof

Culture is doing its best to convince the world there is nothing special about Jesus. And many Christians never get beyond a Sunday school understanding of their own faith. As a result, Christianity's most important historical fact—the resurrection—is often the most misunderstood, relegated to Easter and funeral services, creating a powerless Christianity. Our guest will show why Jesus' victory over death is central to a believer's faith. He will present seven tangible, fresh reasons to believe Jesus really rose from the dead—and why it matters today as the foundation of our hope in the face of suffering and grief. When you fully understand the implications of the resurrection, you will begin to understand the power of Christ in you. This changes everything.

America’s Expiration Date

What is wrong with America today? Is it possible that America could crumble and our democracy fail? Questions like these plague Americans and cause us to be anxious about the future of the "land that we love." Individuals may come to different conclusions, but there seems to be a common thread - the deep-seated feeling that we need to improve our country. Our culture is increasingly immoral, the family structure is threatened from all sides, and government programs consistently overreach, creating massive debt. Our guest, one of the most popular nationally syndicated columnists and trusted commentator, will offer a diagnosis of what exactly is wrong with the United States by drawing parallels to once-great empires and nations that declined into oblivion. Citing the historically proven 250-year pattern of how superpowers rise and fall, he predicts that America's expiration date is just around the corner and shows us how to escape their fate. Through biblical insights and hard-hitting truth, he reminds us that real change comes when America looks to God instead of Washington. Scripture, rather than politics, is the GPS he uses to point readers to the right road - a road of hope, life, and change. Because, he says, if we're willing to seek God first, learn from history, and make changes at the individual and community level, we can not only survive, but thrive, again.

Best of In The Market with Janet Parshall: Lighthouse Faith

Is God simply an accessory that we carry with us? Something similar to what we might download from a music site to suit our personal tastes—a personal assistant in a way? Or is He His law, His structure, and His authoritative Word contained in the Holy Scripture, an objective reality to which you daily shape your life? If we believe or know we should believe that it's the latter, how do we make this happen? How do we live joyfully under God's will in a world so drenched in the will of human desire? Join us as our guest helps us explore the heart of the Christian doctrine and a pathway of perceiving God as an interactive hands-on presence, a caring and loving Being. The first commandment is a life-giving force loaded with information about the world in which we live. This law stands atop the other nine commandments as a beacon of light, illuminating the created order, just as a lighthouse lamp shines in a darkened space, heralding a way to safety. Discover anew what Jesus is truly the Light of the world.

Best of In The Market wtih Janet Parshall: Science and Faith in Harmony

The idea that Christianity and science are inextricably in conflict is a relatively recent conception. However, with each new scientific discovery and scriptural insight, it’s an idea that’s being proved to be insupportable. Our guest has immersed himself in both science and faith and knows they work beautifully together to sing of the greatness of God. He will examine modern scientific concepts and what they can teach us about theological truths, such as the dual nature of Christ. Following the path of Christ and holding a scientific worldview at the same time is not only possible but also leads to a fuller, richer life of harmony and truth.
