In the Market with Janet Parshall
July 29, 2024
Hour 1: Faith and Truth
This hour we look at the world around us through the lens of Scripture. We start with some stories making headlines and then get an update from a powerful ministry that is bringing the Gospel to Iran. We round out the hour by discussing whether a national leader should be charged with ‘ecocide’ and where doctors in America stand on the issue of euthanasia. Join us for a thought-provoking hour of conversation.
Hour 2: Film and Faith
This hour is designed to lengthen your prayer list. First, we hear how to pray specifically for those who serve in the entertainment industry, whether behind the camera or in front of it. Then, we get an update on the Persecuted Church and find ways to pray for our brothers and sisters who live in countries hostile to Christianity. Let’s learn how to lift up the family of faith through prayer.
