Anti-Israel protests have broken out on college campuses in the U.S. and in other parts of the world. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week discussed whether these protests are really about the exercise of free speech as many claim or if instead there is a darker agenda at work behind the scenes motivating this volatile hatred of Israel. How does a family deal with the challenges of a drug addicted child? We heard from a father and daughter who have walked that journey themselves. They spoke openly about the struggles they went through, how God met them at this crucial time in their lives and offered insight for other families who face the same struggle. It appears that nothing is off limits in China’s unrelenting push for world domination. Once again we gave you the opportunity to hear from our national security expert as he exposed China’s development of deadly neurotoxins, experimental virus work which is being funded by our own government and that nation’s role in the deadly fentanyl drug epidemic that has taken thousands of lives and devastated families across the nation. The Lord never promised that sharing the gospel message would be easy but it doesn’t always have to be antagonistic either. Our guest gave us practical guidance for building caring relationships with people while not compromising the message of hope that they desperately need to hear. As we wind down another busy week, we cap it off with another insightful conversation about the important headlines of the week.
In the midst of a traumatic experience it may seem hard to believe that it is possible to find true healing from all that pain. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we heard from a nationally recognized expert on whole person care who addressed the challenges faced by those who struggle with life after trauma, understanding where trauma and our emotions meet, how to rewrite the script of our lives and the vital role that forgiveness plays in all of this. Speaking of forgiveness, it is so often an easy word to say but a hard one to practice. We shared the story of a man who was called to practice forgiveness after his wife and other members of his church were brutally murdered by a lone gunman. How did move from grief to healing and where did he find the strength to choose mercy over hard heartedness? He shared his remarkable story of God’s hand at work through the liberating power of true, biblical forgiveness. Pastors around the world are being called to address challenges their predecessors never imagined or rarely ever dealt with. One of those big issues is how to minister truthfully but compassionately with those who struggle with same-sex attraction as well as all the other issues surrounding LGBT acceptance. We shared the powerful new training program that is putting practical, usable guidance in the hands of 400 pastors in 13 countries. Our guest a redeemed former gay man and biblical teacher explained what “The Challenge” is and how it is helping pastors learn how to stand on biblical truth while addressing this very challenging topic and all the issues that surround it. As you head into the weekend, we invite you to join us for another examination of the important news of the week.
