In the Market with Janet Parshall

Hour 1: Hope Reaffirmed

For many years scouting has been a safe place to send boys to develop life skills and character. But times have changed. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we explained to you the changes in the Boy Scouts that have created sincere concerns for parents and a new Christian alternative program that helping young boys growing into strong, stable godly men. Speaking of manhood, traditional ideas of manhood have been under attack in recent years but we heard from a guest who explained that these attacks have ignored that facts that show that men who care for their families and attend church are more loving and engaged husbands and fathers. She explained how the anti-male stereotypes that are being used to attack traditional manhood do not stand up to intense scrutiny and God’s design for manhood. What is orthodox Christianity and what the tenants it is built upon? Our guest took us back to basics to explain that how we think about God impacts every aspect of our lives. Many of us do not recognize the America of today from the one that we grew up with but that doesn’t mean that we can shy away from standing up the tide of change that has washed ashore on our nation. We once again spoke with a highly respected apologist and friend of the program as he address the growth of hate crimes thinking in the nation how this thinking has become a weapon to prevent the sharing of the hope of the Gospel and Christian beliefs with others. He also explained how to talk clearly but firmly with those who say the bible supports homosexuality. As we head to the close of the week it is time to put the news back under the microscope and examine it from a clear, Bible centered perspective once again.

Hour 2: Faith Reinvigorated

Who are you and what are you meant to do? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we addressed the challenge of these fundamental questions and how to discover the work you were wired to do showing you how to use a new assessment tool to help you discover how to best use your talents and skills to move your life forward and create greater satisfaction by being the person God created you to be. Lives can be shipwrecked so easily and the guilt and shame of that failure can often lead to fears that God will never be able to understand and forgive our choices. But our guest explained how throughout the Bible we see God represented as the One who provides second chances to His people. Our guest explained the important roles that humility and forgiveness play in our ability to move forward from our failures to true forgiveness and freedom. Has your prayer life become stale and rote? It is a challenge that believers throughout history have struggled with. We spoke to a respected Bible teacher who explained what a dead prayer life is and is not and how to revitalize your time and intimacy with God through prayer. Godly masculinity has been under attack like never before but we shared a new program that it addressing these challenges and encouraging men to stand in the unique calling God has given to them. We also helped you lengthen your prayer list with more stories of faith and perseverance from the persecuted church around the globe. Now it is time to think critically and Biblically as we bring God’s word to bear against the news headlines of the week.
