Join us to discover: 1. Who am I? Discovering your purpose. 2. How should I live? Finding your pathway. 3. What should I hope for? Embracing your future.

When sin is disguised as virtue, the path to cultivating righteousness becomes impossible. Such is the challenge Christians face in the modern age. Not long ago, most people would agree that the seven deadly sins are in fact deadly. But ask them today, and you’ll hear a different answer. Today, "anger" is often considered an admirable emotion, "lust" the only expression of love, and "greed" the unassailable right to "get what’s yours." The world can rebrand sin all it wants and declare the death of truth, but it has no power against the truth of the Scripture. What God calls sin is sin—no matter what the world says. And sin always has the same destination—death and destruction. Join us as our guest provides a theology of sin and why the Christian must develop a prayerful heart and discerning eye to identify where sin exists in a world where good is called evil and evil is called good.

What can we learn from a Bible story about a talking donkey? What about the account in Joshua where the sun and moon stand still?

Socialism is making a comeback-and so is the idea that "Jesus was a socialist." Today our guest will show it is pure fantasy to believe that Jesus wanted earthly governments to redistribute wealth, centrally plan the economy, or impose welfare states. Poll after poll shows that young Americans have a positive image of socialism. In fact, more than half say they would rather live in a socialist country than in a capitalist one. Learn how to explode the myths that have lured young people everywhere. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Smile, God loves you." "Just have faith." "It's not my place to judge." Christian cliches abound. But is there anything to this bumper sticker theology?

Learn how to better ‘contend for the faith’. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Does America no longer feel like home? Widespread divorce rates, the erosion of traditional marriage, the popular rise of radical ideologies, attacks on faith, and government interference are only a few of the factors contributing to the struggles of families in our culture. And because of the importance of healthy families to every part of our national life, the breakdown of the family threatens to rob us of the country we love. But it doesn't have to be this way. Our guest fears we are losing the country we love. He joins us today to give us the facts, inspiration, and theory-to-action answers we need to restore a key foundation of America: the family. Strong families are the cornerstone of strong communities. Strong communities build a strong nation. Only when we prioritize the family as an institution established by God will we proudly remain the land of the free and the home of the brave. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the already volatile Middle East, all eyes have turned to what is next for Iran in the wake of the unexpected death of its president. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week shared insights from a man who God has called to minister His love directly to the people of that nation. He explained that there may be a cause behind the cause of the helicopter crash, why this period of national instability is fertile ground for the Gospel to change lives and why it is more important than ever for believers in the West to be in prayer for this nation and its people. As we have so often seen on this program, the news that is paraded on our television screens is often not the full story. We spoke to a medical expert who says that the push for acceptance of use of the abortion pill is based on study data that cherry picked information favorable to the popular stance on the issue. The reports ignored the medical safeguards for women and the system currently in place provides no follow-up for women who have complications from their use of the pill. We had the honor bringing you the former Prime Minister of Australia who shared his own personal journey of faith from salvation to being called by God to lead a nation during some of the most challenging times in our history including the COVID epidemic. He shared what it means to live a surrendered and willing life to follow God wherever He leads. We have heard on this program that hidden heart cries of those whose lives have been impacted by their relationship with a narcissist. And through the gracious heart and biblically clear wisdom of our guest we once again were able to offer real, sound, practical guidance to those who feel trapped and don’t know what to do or how to move forward from the impact of this most dangerous personality type. As we came to the close of the week, we took you on a journey of courage and resilience as we heard how God transformed one woman’s life from being the victim of sex trafficking to becoming a liberated voice for those who still need to be free. The days of 3 networks and one newspaper are long gone. News comes at us from many different sources and viewpoints but we still need to be discerning about what we hear and what we believe. That’s where Janet and Craig come in. Once again they are opening the radio classroom to continue their lessons on how to use God’s word to go behind the headlines to find the truth in the news we hear each week.

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we kicked off the week by lengthening your prayer list for of the biggest influencers in our world today, the entertainment industry. Our favorite Hollywood missionary shared more stories of famous people in need of heavenly intervention in their lives. For a while it seemed that the push for DEI acceptance and integration into all parts of our lives was going to win, but we spoke to a civil rights pioneer who explained why more and more states are backing away from DEI acceptance and what one state has chosen to do instead. He also put the truth to the lie of systemic racism. When we live with Heaven in mind it changes the WAY we live. That is a lesson our guest our guest learned after the unexpected death of his young son. He shared the transformative power of living as a citizen of Heaven while we are still on the earth. Once upon a time there were a core set of values and truths that Americans believed and lived by but that time has passed. Now God has called people like our guest to stand up for truth in an increasingly deceptive and confused nation. He shared some of the common lies that Americans are buying into today that are pulling us further and further away from truth and each other. He also revealed the plan to use cultural Marxist ideology to infest this country and lead to the downward spiral we are all living in today. It may not look like it but spiritual warfare is going on all around us, whether it is on the personal, national or even international stage. Once again we gave you the opportunity to get answers to the spiritual warfare questions plaguing your heart and mind through the experience and rock sold Biblical insight of one of our favorite Kingdom warriors. Now it is time to once again pull back the veil and reveal the truth behind some of the high impact news stories of the week. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just as she emerged from years of childhood physical and sexual abuse, our guest found herself ensnared for nearly three years in the clutches of human traffickers, enduring the unspeakable horrors of prostitution.

Her tale is ultimately one of resilience, courage, and eventual liberation. Today, she is a prominent speaker, advocate, and mentor for survivors of human trafficking. Join us to hear her powerful and compelling testimony. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This hour we open the phone lines so that you can ask any question you have on the topic of spiritual warfare. Because this subject is often misunderstood, some churches back off from preaching on what the Word says about the “battle in the heavenlies” and we let the world teach us our theology instead. On today’s broadcast, you can expect to hear clear, concise and most importantly, biblical answers to questions on this crucial and relevant topic. Call in early because the lines will light up.
