In the Market with Janet Parshall
August 08, 2024
Hour 1: Not What You Think
The Bible is seen by many contemporary readers as intolerant, outdated, out of step with societal norms at best, and a tool of oppression at worst. What if we cleared the deck on our preconceptions of this book and encountered it anew? What if we came with the understanding that our questions are welcome? And what if these pages presented less of a system to figure out, and more of a story to step into - a story with more surprising plot twists than we might think? Today, our guest will explore the nature of the Bible - an ancient mosaic of story, literature, history, and poetry - and what it means for this generation and its relationship with God.
Hour 2: A Change of Affection
Can someone truly be transformed by the power of the Gospel? Join us to hear our guest’s story of dramatic conversion to Christianity. Learn how his seminary training informs his views on homosexuality--personally, biblically, theologically, and culturally. Discover how the Church can best respond to the questions of personal identity.
