In the Market with Janet Parshall

Hour 1: Unwavering Hope

What does it really mean to be a solider in God’s army? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we introduced you to respected member of our United States military who turned his experience toward the nuts and bolts of spiritual warfare. He explained why prayer is an essential element of spiritual warfare and how to develop resiliency in the battle. Can doubt become a doorway to deeper faith? Our guest explained why times of doubt are not unusual in the faith journey of the believer, how to address issues like pain, identity, sexuality and spirituality and the importance of fulfilling our God created role as His worshipers. It is sad but true but God’s word of love and life to mankind has often been misused as a weapon to hurt and control the lives of people and people groups including the lives of slaves in this nation. But our guest, a respected apologist, explained what they did to reject this twisted view of God’s word and how the Bible became the foundation of their hope from freedom, the very stones the black church was built upon and the roots of the Civil Rights movement. For many decades in our nation the church was revered as a community anchor but that is not the case today. We dug into why more people are turning their anger toward the churches across the nation. We also looked at the implications of Alabama recent ruling that frozen embryos are people and how that impacts the hopes of childless couples hoping to build families of their own. As we wind down the week you are invited once again to join our husband and wife team as they dissect the headlines of the week with the scalpel of God’s word.

Hour 2: Unbowed Faith

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week put aside Hollywood’s view of the last days and turn to God’s word as one of our favorite apologists and End Times experts explained what the Bible says about the final days of mankind and how to speak to others about the impending return of Jesus and share the hope of His salvation with them. God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life! We’ve all heard or said those words when it comes to trying to find a doorway to share the Gospel message with others. But we heard from a respected evangelist who showed us that starting from the seriousness of the how we as humans violate God’s law is the better doorway to demonstrate the need for a savior. He also showed us how to address one of the most common questions of evangelism, “Why being good enough will not get you to Heaven?” Just like sugar, our wrong choices can also become addictive. But what if we didn’t have to live on the empty calories of our addictions and the shames that comes with them? Our guest used her own life experiences to show how our cravings can lead to wrong choices but when we turn to God’s remedies we can find hope, community and healing. Pastors today are facing challenges their pulpit predecessors rarely if ever faced and that is especially true when it comes to the varied issues surrounding the impact of the LGBTQ agenda our families and communities. Our guest, a man who has lived on both sides of this issue, shared a new program to help pastors and other church leaders understanding the issues and better minister the hope of the Gospel to people who are struggling with same-sex, trans and other related issues and the family that loves them. Whether it is war, technology, climate or any number of other topics, Janet and Craig invite you for another eye-opening, thought provoking discussion of the headlines of the week where the whole truth of God’s word is once again used to bring understanding and clarity to the confusion and chaos of our daily headlines.
