In the Market with Janet Parshall

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.

In the midst of a traumatic experience it may seem hard to believe that it is possible to find true healing from all that pain. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we heard from a nationally recognized expert on whole person care who addressed the challenges faced by those who struggle with life after trauma, understanding where trauma and our emotions meet, how to rewrite the script of our lives and the vital role that forgiveness plays in all of this. Speaking of forgiveness, it is so often an easy word to say but a hard one to practice. We shared the story of a man who was called to practice forgiveness after his wife and other members of his church were brutally murdered by a lone gunman. How did move from grief to healing and where did he find the strength to choose mercy over hard heartedness? He shared his remarkable story of God’s hand at work through the liberating power of true, biblical forgiveness. Pastors around the world are being called to address challenges their predecessors never imagined or rarely ever dealt with. One of those big issues is how to minister truthfully but compassionately with those who struggle with same-sex attraction as well as all the other issues surrounding LGBT acceptance. We shared the powerful new training program that is putting practical, usable guidance in the hands of 400 pastors in 13 countries. Our guest a redeemed former gay man and biblical teacher explained what “The Challenge” is and how it is helping pastors learn how to stand on biblical truth while addressing this very challenging topic and all the issues that surround it. As you head into the weekend, we invite you to join us for another examination of the important news of the week. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anti-Israel protests have broken out on college campuses in the U.S. and in other parts of the world. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week discussed whether these protests are really about the exercise of free speech as many claim or if instead there is a darker agenda at work behind the scenes motivating this volatile hatred of Israel. How does a family deal with the challenges of a drug addicted child? We heard from a father and daughter who have walked that journey themselves. They spoke openly about the struggles they went through, how God met them at this crucial time in their lives and offered insight for other families who face the same struggle. It appears that nothing is off limits in China’s unrelenting push for world domination. Once again we gave you the opportunity to hear from our national security expert as he exposed China’s development of deadly neurotoxins, experimental virus work which is being funded by our own government and that nation’s role in the deadly fentanyl drug epidemic that has taken thousands of lives and devastated families across the nation. The Lord never promised that sharing the gospel message would be easy but it doesn’t always have to be antagonistic either. Our guest gave us practical guidance for building caring relationships with people while not compromising the message of hope that they desperately need to hear. As we wind down another busy week, we cap it off with another insightful conversation about the important headlines of the week. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For some of us, resting seems like a waste of time—it means we're missing out on other things. For others, rest seems like a luxury—there's simply too much to do. And for almost all of us, we crave rest, but don't always know how to. In truth, there are huge spiritual, emotional and physical rewards of rest. Join us today to discover how rest fuels our joy and confidence in God's sovereignty as we learn to depend on Him, and not our own efforts, and are refreshed by the power of the Holy Spirit. The world never stops. But we need to. And as Christians we can by having faith to hit pause and experience the rich rewards of God-given rest. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Christians, when we take a stand for our faith, we want to avoid coming across as overly combative or adversarial.

Even in the face of deep differences, we can learn how to grow in our confidence to engage others effectively with the love of Jesus and the Truth of Scripture.

Traumatic experiences happen to nearly everyone, at some time, in some form. The aftereffects--depression, anxiety, addiction, panic attacks, insomnia, and more--can affect us for years or even a lifetime. But the brokenness following a traumatic event is never a life sentence. We are all changed by trauma, but we do not have to be defined by it. Drawing on cutting-edge research, our guest will teach us how to find relief and hope once and for all. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, he will discuss the whole-person treatment approach that recognizes you as a unique constellation of emotional, physical, intellectual, relational, and spiritual dimensions. Learn how trauma affects your emotions, body, brain, relationships, soul, and dreams and discover how to create a personalized plan to find your way back to wholeness, joy, and peace.

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.

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.

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.

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.
