In the Market with Janet Parshall

Hour 1: The Detransition Diaries

We live in unprecedented times, when what was known for thousands of years, that we are created male and female, is now up for debate. It is now controversial to see that sex is binary, that a man can never become a woman, nor a woman a man, and that men should not enter women's sports, women's bathrooms, and women's prisons, merely for saying that they are a woman. We are witnessing a rapid rise in gender confusion among young people, especially among young women and girls. Join us as our guests recount the stories of five women and two men who felt they were born in the wrong body and believed the lie they were told by peers, teachers, and medical professionals that they could be their "true" selves by medically and surgically altering their bodies to match the opposite sex. Learn how this dark chapter in medical abuse might end and what is needed for medicine to regain its obligation to do no harm.

Hour 2: I Have PTSD

Anyone who experiences a traumatic event feels confused, lost, out of control, unsure, and unsteady—disoriented. This kind of suffering leaves marks, sometimes on the body, always on the soul, and sometimes both. Our guest will help both those who have suffered trauma, as well as their loved ones, to understand the physical, emotional, and spiritual effects of trauma, while offering Gospel hope and practical ways to make that hope real in their lives.

Trauma can come into our lives through any number of circumstances, but those circumstances do not derail the plans of God nor determine the trajectory for the rest of your life. God can and does utilize the most horrific suffering imaginable to accomplish his great plans for his people.

Our guest was enjoying a productive career as a physics professor at Ball State University when the letter from a militant atheist arrived and all hell broke loose. The conflict spilled first onto the pages of the local newspaper, and then into the national news. The atheist attack included threats from the Freedom from Religion Foundation, which targeted Hedin after learning his Boundaries of Science course exposed students to an evidence-based case for design and purpose in cosmology, physics, and biochemistry. Join us to hear the dramatic story of the atheist campaign to cancel Hedin's course, the evidence the atheists tried to bury, and discoveries that have revolutionized our understanding of the nature and origin of matter, space, and even time itself.

Best of In The Market with Janet Parshall: Faithfully Different

In an increasingly secular society, those who have a biblical worldview are now a shrinking minority. As the mainstream culture grows more hostile toward the Bible’s truths and those who embrace them, you’ll face mounting pressures—from family, friends, media, academia, and government—to change and even abandon your beliefs. But these challenges also create abundant opportunities to stand strong for Christ and shine the light on those hurt by the darkness of our day. Our guest, an author, and apologist will share with us how to live out our faith with conviction, discernment, and courage. You’ll be equipped to

· Identify and respond to today’s most significant worldview pressures, such as cancel culture, secular social justice, progressive Christianity, deconstruction, virtue signaling, and more

· Engage effectively with a world that ridicules biblical truths

Hour 1: Where We Put Our Hope

The Marketplace of Ideas is full of all sorts of people with all sorts of promises but can those promises stand up to the unwavering truth of God’s word? That’s the question we tackled as we kicked off this week of In The Market with Janet Parshall this week as Craig joined Janet for a special visit to address the misleading claim of a ministry leader who promises that giving to his ministry will protect the giver financially. Stress and anxiety are an increasing part of life. But our guest showed us how to step away from those burdens and find true peace by finding it in the comfort of God’s word and the joy He provides in the midst of our stormy days and nights.

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week Craig made a special visit to the program to discuss with Janet a pastor who refuses to preach against sex before marriage.

As our nation and our world different further and further from it biblical foundations our guest a respected apologist encouraged us to continue to stand up for God’s truth in this increasingly hostile time. She showed us how to use God’s truth to effectively engage the culture around us and to defend our faith with boldness. We told you about an important program that reintroducing the Word of God to schools across the nation emphasizing the intersection of Scripture with such studies as music, art and literature. Then we heard from a woman who gave us a unique insight into the transformative activity of God in Iran in the shadow of the election of the country’s new president. She also helped us lengthen our prayer lists by encouraging us to pray for His continued work in the lives of the Iranian people. Once again Craig joins Janet for another wide –ranging, deep dive discussion on more of the important headlines of the week.
