In the Market with Janet Parshall

For both the believer and the non-believer the eternal weight of Heaven and Hell is only a hair’s breath away. But how often do we really think about their reality in the hustle and bustle of our busy lives here on earth? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we invited you to sit down across the radio table with one of our favorite bible teachers and defenders of the faith as he opened God’s word to address the eternal gift God has offered mankind and why the consequences of rejecting that gift are so severe and permanent. There is no escaping Madison Avenue’s views on how we should look and live but how do those ideas square against God’s design for our lives? We shared with you practical wisdom on taking care of our physical well beings without becoming trapped by worldly standards that ignore or pervert God’s designs for our lives. What would you do if your child was forced to participate in a religious ceremony venerating false deities in their public school? That is a challenge some Chicago parents have faced. We introduced you to a legal expert who explained the legal and spiritual ramifications of that incident and how it could have wide ranging impact on believers and their children across the nation. Once again you kept our phone lines busy as one of our favorite bible teachers joined us to tackle some of your hardest and most thought provoking questions related to the Bible and the Christian life. Watchmen on the wall are needed now more than ever before as our nation and world continues to slide downward all around us. Join us as we teach you how to be that watchman by learning how to discern truth from rhetoric as we dig deep into the news headlines of the week.

Disagreements can become divisions very quickly in the modern world. How do we walk the tightrope of truth without alienating the very ones we are trying to reach? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we took a look at the so-called “cancel culture” mentality of today and our guest shared some practical guidance on how to see our own blind spots when it comes to engaging others as well as how to speak truth in winsome and effective ways. From Pastor to Congressman our guest shared his personal journey and gave a dire reminder of the importance of the ballot box when it comes to preserving the hard fought liberties that we too often take for granted in the United States. How do believers stand on truth against the seemingly logical and impenetrable arguments of atheists and other skeptics? We heard from one of our favorite apologist who used his training as a lawyer to teach us how to recognize and address some of their biggest arguments and how to respond with God’s unchanging truth. The rancor of partisan politics can often be a deterrent to getting involved in the political matters affecting our nation. But even through all that noise God is still in control and He has a role for his people to play in governmental affairs. Our guest took us back to scripture to clear up the confusion and give us clear, biblical guidance on what good government looks like and the role God has called His people to play in it. Mounting tensions around the world keep the news cycle humming on a daily basis. But thanks to the clear guidance of our favorite husband and wife team, we continue to learn how dissect and find the truth in top headlines of the week.

Our guest has established his ministry and expansive influence on Christianity by his clear and penetrating exposition of unvarnished biblical truth. He joins us today to offer an understandable explanation of God’s instruction to His people on how to be rightly related to and involved with their national government. Eschewing party politics and lies from every side, he uses the broad narrative from Scripture to reveal God’s will for human government and our responsibility within it and under it. Don’t miss this timely conversation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We start this hour by looking at some stories making headlines before moving into a conversation regarding religious liberty. A federal judge has granted a Class Action to some students alleging coercion in religious rituals in Chicago Public Schools. We will fill you in on the details. Then, we will discuss the coming electrical power shortage, the call for a global ban on meat and dairy consumption, fears that having children and even breathing are contributing to climate change, EPA regulations on heavy trucks, and signs of the coming green breakdown. Don’t miss a great hour of conversation! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This hour we tackle some of the questions atheists have regarding Christianity, the Bible, God, and science. As more and more people turn away from God, perhaps it's time we, as Christians, learned how to answer those questions that keep people from the Cross. How do we learn to hear the question behind the question? How can we answer with compassion and grace? Don’t miss this thought-provoking conversation.

Every day we are exposed to messages about health, food, exercise and looking good. It's hard not to get swept along with it all; in fact, it’s easy to end up caring too much about these things and even to feel trapped trying to live up to the ideals that we see in the media. Today, our guest will point you to the Bible to find freedom! The Bible tells us that our physical selves do matter. But it also invites us to think about our bodies in a God-centered way—helping us to reset and find a balanced approach that is grounded in our faith. Join us to discover how to love the body God gave you and to explore his priorities for the ways in which you live, eat and exercise. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If the voice of the people is lost at the ballot box, our Republic will be lost as well. Integrity must rule the day and surpass partisan strategies and yearnings. To be precise, there is but one thing that elections must articulate; the will of the people. That is the true issue. By highlighting his personal history, from his humble beginnings to becoming an influential member of Congress, our guest will candidly relate his experiences and deal with the topic of election integrity.

We all wonder what comes after death. Our guest, a biblical apologist, will join us to share what the Scriptures say about Heaven and Hell. In Heaven, we will be reconnected with loved ones; receive a wonderful new body; say goodbye to sin, sorrow, and sickness; and enjoy face-to-face fellowship with God! In Hell, there is eternal punishment and separation from the One who offered us eternal life in Him. Join us to set your mind on the things above!

Differences of opinion have always been part of life. For decades, spouses, family members, co-workers, and neighbors have had spirited conversations about politics, social issues, religion, current events, and even sports. But what was different in the past is that these disagreements wouldn’t sever ties between family and friends. Our guest believes Christians are called to be God’s ambassadors, which necessarily entails the need to listen to those around us—especially people with diverse and different perspectives. Yes, we live in cancel culture. But that doesn’t mean that we as Christians need to conform to our world. Instead, we can be a beacon of sanity that promotes meaningful conversations around what matters most in this life—and the next. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since we all know that “nobody is perfect” why do so many of us strive so hard to be so? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we addressed the drive for perfection even in the good things of God and how to lean into His grace instead being bound by rules and systems that debilitate our lives and prevent us from living lives that line up with His plans for us. Have you ever felt like your spiritual armor is sitting in a pile at your feet and you don’t have the slightest clue what to do with it? If so, you are not alone! Our expert on spiritual warfare taught us not only how to put that armor on but how to walk victoriously in it by sharing God’s wisdom and his own experience standing in Christ’s victory while confronting the dark forces of the supernatural world. When we struggle with anxiety or other issues our first thought is often to find a way to get rid of it. Sometimes we even question God’s love and power for not taking this challenge out of our lives. But is it possible that anxiety and pain in life could have a higher, God designed purpose for us? We shared the insights of a teacher who took us deep into the Scriptures to help us understand that God has a purpose in all things, even our anxiety and pain. He helped us reframe our understanding so that we can discover a greater, deeper bond with the Lord who loves us. The Christian faith is under attack like it has never been before and believers are often always on the defensive struggling to answer the pointed and often painful questions of skeptics and accusers. We turned to a respected bible teacher who used his own story of confusion and skepticism and the lessons he learned, as template to guide us as we navigate these perilous waters in our lives and relationships. How do parents help their kids navigate days and times that they themselves never imagined and faced? Join Janet and Craig as they teach parents and all of us how to examine the wares being sold in today’s marketplace of ideas against God’s unbending, eternally reliable straight stick of truth.

The most dangerous personality type can leave a damaging and long lasting impact on the lives of those closest to them. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we once again opened up our phone lines and allowed our expert to offer her unique combination of professional advice and biblical clarity to help navigate this most challenging family dynamic. Ideas morph and grow over time, even bad ones. We heard from a legal expert who explained that despite the ample historical evidence of its failure, Marxism is sadly still alive and well. He explained how it has changed over time and how the halls of higher education were turned into indoctrination laboratories. He also explained how the new generation of Marxist are turning sex warfare, class and gender into their rallying cries to deceive people into buying into the Marxist philosophy and the danger facing our nation if we don’t cut out this deadly infection. Idolatry is not an idea trapped in ancient history. Although we may not bow down before giant statutes we often bow our hearts before ideas and concepts that can damage us and pull our affections away from the God who loves us. We offered practical guidance on recognizing the idols in our lives and how to turn back to the eternal lover of our souls. The push for renewable energy never sounds like a bad idea. But as our experts explained behind those blazing neon lights the science does not add up. They explained how the drive by some to solely rely on solar, wind and other renewable energy sources is and will continue to damage our nation and our world and why we must not abandon the proven resources that we have relied on for generations like fossil fuels, hydro-electricity and nuclear energy. Class is in session as once again our favorite husband and wife teachers show us how to use God’s word and wisdom to observe, understand and address some of the biggest news events of the past week.

Years after becoming a Christian, our guest became haunted by difficult questions---Why does God allow evil in the world? Why are there so many scandals in the church? Today, he will respond to some of the toughest challenges to the faith and share his own journey from doubt to confident trust. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The attempted cures for climate change are generally worse than the disease—especially for the poor. Demands to transform the global energy infrastructure to depend heavily on wind, solar, and other renewables are harmful to people in America and the world–especially to the poor. Meanwhile, continued large-scale use of traditional energy sources like nuclear, hydro, and fossil fuels would reduce poverty while doing less harm to the environment. Join us as our guests combine outstanding climate science, physics, economics, environmental science, political science, ethics, and theology to present a well-reasoned understanding of human-induced climate change and how to respond to it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If God is all-powerful, why doesn’t he eliminate our anxiety? Instead of asking this, perhaps we should ask why God is allowing it in the first place. Our guest today takes us on a journey through Scripture and shares his discovery of God’s ultimate purpose in pain. Our anxiety, fear, stress, and panic are not the end of us—but facing them could be the start of something great! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join us as our guest casts a vision for us to learn how to reject the idols of our age and find real hope in Jesus, embracing our identity in Christ and recovering His design and purpose for our lives. Learn why the Truth is so much better than the falsehoods being sold in the ‘marketplace of ideas.’ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This hour we open the phones and let you ask any question on the topic of spiritual warfare. Can the Devil read our thoughts? Can demons occupy objects? Is holy water necessary to drive out a demon? Are certain words required to rid a person of a demon? Get the answers to questions like these and more on today's broadcast. Call in early as the phones are lit the entire hour! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many Americans believe that the United States is in decline. They see a country that has become unrecognizable: where individuals are reduced to their race, ethnicity, or sexual identity; where children are indoctrinated into radical ideologies; and where anti-Semitism has become widespread. Join us to learn how all of these ills are rooted in Marxism. To be sure, it is not Soviet Marxism, but a Marxism that was shaped by European intellectuals, adapted and refined by America’s student radicals of the 1960s, and diffused throughout the culture as those student radicals became professors, community organizers, and leaders. The end goal of these NextGen Marxists is expropriation, redistribution, central planning, and collectivism. They are working toward nothing less than the cultural transformation of the United States—and they have partially succeeded. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
