Hour 1: Cradle My Heart

Over half of the women who have abortions have some Christian religious affiliation, and they believe that abortion was the solution to their problems. But now they live with shame, regret, and unacknowledged grief that leaves them suffering in silence. While they wonder if they've committed an unforgivable sin, women are afraid to turn to the church for support. Kim Ketola knows this pain personally. She will join us to offer practical steps, biblical retellings, and personal experiences to start broken-hearted women on the road to rediscovering God’s love, mercy, and grace.

Hour 2: Maintaining Self-Control

Best of In The Market with Janet Parshall: Queer and Christian?

For far too long, homosexual activists have tried to twist Scripture to make it look as though the Bible supports same-sex attraction. Joe Dallas will join us to discuss another book recently released that tries, yet again, to make it look like God’s love knows no bounds – and therefore, there really is no need for repentance from sin. Using the ‘straight stick of God’s truth’ as our metric, we will examine some twisted ideas being ‘sold’ in the marketplace of ideas.

Hour 1: His Message Is Clear

Is it possible that a multi-tentacled “creature” has crawled and slithered its way into the halls of power and is moving and influencing lawmakers and policy in our federal government? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week our guest said that not only is it possible, but that it has been going on for years. He pulled back the multi-layered curtain of government bureaucracy to reveal the names of the people and organizations who, through money or other means continue to impact the attitudes and actions of those charged with representing the American people’s best interests and the dangers they pose to life, liberty and the American family. Let’s face it, if there is one area of life where it is easy to get confused and entangled in ideas and behaviors that are not right for us, it is sex and sexuality. We have been living in a sexually saturated culture for a long time now and without clear guidance believers like anybody else, can make wrong turns that damage our lives and lead us away from the good plans of God for this part of our human experience. Our guest, a highly respected expert in these matters drew us back to God’s word to get us back on the right path. She explained why there is a difference between sex and sexuality, how and why our identity is tied to our sexuality and what it means to live a sexually surrendered life. From time immemorial mankind has loved the good guy VS bad guy story. From twirling mustachioed villains, to black and white hats in the old west, to today’s modern cinematic superpowered heroes and their equally powered enemies, we love a great good guy VS bad guy tale. But why? Our guest explained how our desire to see heroes who fight for the greater good and sacrifice themselves for the betterment of others have deeper roots that most of us understand and that once we do these stories can create bridges of conversation to share the love of Jesus, the ultimate hero who came and sacrificed Himself for others, with those who do not yet know Him. There are some who believe that God has changed His plans for the Jewish people over time and that He has put His promises for them into the church? This is no slight matter! So, we turned to an expert on Jewish history and God’s word to deconstruct this viewpoint and then hold the mirror of God’s word up to it to see if it has any merit. His clear and scripturally grounded explanation helped clear up the cobwebs that many have been looking through regarding this very important issue. The Middle East continues to be unstable, faith and family continue to get attacked from all sides, but the word of God continues to stand tall and firm in truth and power providing guidance and clarity. Janet and Craig once again get beyond the headlines and continue teaching us how to discern truth from confusion in the marketplace of ideas.

Hour 2: His Truth Doesn’t Change

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we celebrated some very important victories for home schooling parents and their children and lengthened your prayer lists on some other battles that are still being waged against them. We also joined a high respected statistician and expert on the “real numbers” of life and faith in America today to take a close look at what his most recent survey has to say about how many Americans subscribe to a biblical worldview and how many do not across all 50 states. What he discovered and shared with us has a direct impact on how we engage with friends, family and co-workers who have yet to come to know Christ. Our favorite friend of the Iranian people joined us once again for an update on how the tensions in that part of the world are playing out the street-level lives of regular Iranians, why so many are hungering for spiritual freedom and are open like never before to the message of the gospel. Science has created ethical concerns that we have never been confronted with before and that’s why we turned once again to a friend of the program who has his finger constantly on the pulse of this very important issue to keep us updated on what is going on and how it is impacting and influencing thoughts and behaviors of people who impact our live in sometimes imperceptible but always impactful ways. He shared the powerful story of a brain-dead mother whose body was kept alive in order to fulfill her wish and have her baby be delivered. Some have related this to the abortion issue. Our guest brought clarity to the matter. He also addressed the ethics breaking efforts of China as it pushes the homosexual agenda by making it possible for two male mice to “conceive” and give birth. Determining your own destiny, that idea sounds so good to our human, fallen selves doesn’t it? And we hear it all around us from self-help books to the media that we consume. But it is an old and ancient thought and behind its shiny progressive cover it hides deep and life impacting deception. Our guest, a highly respected apologist exposed these lies of progressive Christianity and reminded us once again in Whom our true freedom can only be found. We live in a modern society that is starving for purpose and meaning. People are turning to all sorts of promises and claims from snake oil salesmen in the marketplace of ideas who promise so much but deliver nothing of permanence or substance. Our guest helped us understand why these various pitches and promises continue to fail and how they have been used to pull our society off course from where it should be. He explained how getting a better grip on the confusion of our times will help us better understand the need and practice of biblically grounded spiritual disciplines in all of our lives. As we finish out another week, we invite you once again to join us in our radio classroom as our favorite husband and wife team continue teaching us how to discern truth from trickery by using the unbending truth of God’s word as our guide.

Hour 1: Surrendered Sexuality

We tend to have pockets of our lives dominated by the flesh and driven by cultural wisdom. For many, sexuality is one of those pockets. Christians are confused about God’s views on sex and intimacy. In today’s culture, we struggle to grasp the meaning or purpose of our sexuality. We don't know how to make sense of our temptation, shame, brokenness, longings, or desires. What is more, Christian churches and families are divided in the nuances of sexuality, neglecting Jesus’ most important call to be unified as His body. Dr. Juli Slattery will join us to bring her years of experience, biblical knowledge, and passion for the Lord in applying the call of Christians to surrender their views, questions, and pain to the God who changes everything.

Hour 2: Science and Salvation

This hour, we get an update on Iran Alive ministries to learn how Iranians are responding not just to the conflict with Israel, but how they are also responding to the Gospel message.

Hour 1: To Be a Woman

We live in a cultural moment where the definition of "woman" eludes the keenest of thinkers and brightest of scientists, where one’s biological sex and one’s gender are divorced, where the meaning of gender itself is a constantly moving target, and where girls and women, especially, struggle to know who they are. Where societal confusion has naturally ensued from this state of affairs, and Christians especially wonder how to think and respond to it, Katie McCoy will offer a clear and helpful guide to understanding why, as a culture, we’ve arrived in such a place of gender confusion and what Scripture and science have to say on the matter.
