In the Market with Janet Parshall

Hour 1: Eyes To See

How do you as a parent navigate the challenges of having your adult child back under your roof? On In The Market with Janet Parshall week we took a look at the issues surrounding why today’s adult children are reluctant to leave or finding their way back under their parent’s roof, how depression plays a role in this resistance to traditional independence and why prayer and good communication are vital to navigating this dramatic change in your relationship. In 1938 one radio broadcast sent waves of terror across the nation and its impact in the days that followed revealed something very important about us as a nation and changed broadcasting forever. Orson Welle’s The War of the Worlds program was that broadcast. Janet sat down with one of our favorite authors to talk about this history making moment, how it happened and whether or not people really believed that the end was near and Martians had come to destroy mankind. Like many authors the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien in the Lord of the Rings stories are informed by his own life experiences including surviving the horrors of World War I. Our guest took us deep behind the fantasy to reveal how the underpinnings of his worldviews and his beliefs about God became the scaffolding on which he constructed these stories that continue to stand the test of time. As we turn our eyes more and more toward the holiday season, we must never forget that our spiritual warfare battles don’t take time off. We need to be ever ready to stand firm on God’s truth. So once again we invited you to ask your most challenging and confounding questions related to this topic to one of our favorite experts, who as usual, took us back to God’s word for clear guidance and direction on this multi-faceted topic. As we close out another week, our favorite husband and wife team draw us once again to think biblically and critically about the news making headlines this week.

Hour 2: Hearts To Hear

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we addressed the ongoing fight to protect the unborn and spoke with a doctor who explained what it means to have an abortion pill reversal procedure and how that can impact the life of the mother and her unborn child. A wonderful book from several years ago has become a special day and opportunity to bless someone in your life. We spoke to one of the authors of this book who explained the 5 elements of this blessing and when and how you can participate in National Blessing Day later this month. Jesus is all over the New Testament and His impact can be clearly seen in the lives of those who met Him and those who came after. But what about the Old Testament? Can we find Jesus clearly in the Old Testament? Our guest, a respected Messianic Jew and the former leader of one of the most important ministries leading Jewish people to their Messiah, took us all the way back to the very beginning and showed us from Genesis forward the prophecies of the coming of Messiah. He also explained why and how the people of that time misread and misunderstood that the prophecy was being fulfilled right in front of their eyes. We shared the insights of a man whose groundbreaking work on birth order and its effect on our lives have impacted people around the world. He explained how birth order influences leadership style, how understanding ourselves better and a few practical strategies, can help us develop the skills to lead others through deeper, more productive relationships. Once again we encouraged you to lengthen your prayer list as we shared more stories of God working through his followers in the entertainment industry. What impact did the Christian vote have on the recent presidential election? What about believers who didn’t vote. We explored both sides of this very interesting issue. As the week comes to an close, we invite you to join us in the marketplace of ideas as Janet and Criag teach us how to look past the cheap goods on display to find the quality craftsmanship of the truth in the headlines of the week.
