In the Market with Janet Parshall

Hour 1: Sacred Scars
We all endure trials, pain, and hardship in this life. The enemy often uses those experiences to convince us that our brokenness disqualifies us from ever being used by God again--that we can no longer be a testimony because of our emotional or physical scars. The truth is, your past pain and brokenness actually serve as preparation for what God wants to do in you and through you, if you will but surrender to and trust in Him. Our guest, a neuropsychologist and fellow sufferer will help you:
· understand suffering through a biblical perspective
· discover how the trials of your life serve a purpose
· reflect on the healing that God has accomplished
· comfort others with the comfort God has given you
Hour 2: Church On Trial
In the ministry world where unpredictability is the only certainty, church leaders face a unique challenge-navigating the upheaval precipitated by crises. From unforeseen scandals to disruptive emergencies, leaders must be equipped with grounded solutions to manage them with confidence and poise. Our guest will give us a guide for maintaining integrity and preserving the good standing of your church in the face of a crisis, you will learn how to:
.Maintain and earn congregational trust and unity
.Safeguard your church's reputation preemptively and proactively before it crashes and burns
.Implement best practices for crisis prevention and recovery
.Build relationships and collaborate with trusted legal advisors
.Gracefully handle negative media attention and publicity
Crises do not have to break your church. Rather, your church can be built to weather the storms they bring.
