In the Market with Janet Parshall

For an anxious and weary world, the gospel of Jesus Christ is the one true source of deep peace and lasting joy. But today, many supposedly Christian teachers are spreading ideas that amount to what Paul called "another gospel." The result? A generation of believers confused about what God really says, what He offers, and what He wants for his children. From the heavy burden of legalism to an overemphasis on prosperity or spiritual gifts to warped understandings of grace, every false teaching has two things in common: they all use half-truths that look and sound biblical (making them very difficult to identify) and they all harm and discourage those who are trying to follow the way of Jesus. Our guest will share the painful consequences of following false teachings and will provide clear explanations of what the Bible really teaches about the gospel. He will bring clarity and hope to anyone who has felt discouraged or confused in their spiritual journey—and will invite us to discover everything we’ve been searching for in the true Gospel.

We're living in an era defined by global pandemics, natural disasters, political strife, and ever-shifting morality. Though at times we may feel tempted to question God's presence, our guest believes these trends actually signal the nearness of Christ---and the end of days. Learn to live in a chaotic world with complete confidence in God's plan! Don’t miss this fascinating conversation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When our guest was 21, she met her birth mother and received a life-changing shock! The woman confessed how she had had an abortion, only to later discover she'd been pregnant with twins---and the doctor had miraculously overlooked our guest. But it took her own unplanned pregnancy for her to truly value the lives of the unborn and their mothers. Join us for this incredible story. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You may have heard the claim that the Bible, when read correctly, is not against believers entering monogamous, faithful same-sex relationships. The arguments sound quite compelling. "Jesus never talked about same-sex relationships.” “Paul was only condemning exploitative relationships, not consensual ones.” “We don’t keep the Old Testament food laws, so why would we keep the ones on same-sex sex?” “If God is love, he can’t be against relationships of love.” And more. Have Christians through the ages just been getting this one wrong? Our guest will look at some of the most common arguments used to claim that the Bible affirms same-sex sex relationships. She will analyze the arguments and associated Bible passages to uncover what the Bible really says. For our guest, as someone with a lifelong history of same-sex attraction, this is not just an academic question. But rather than concluding that the Bible does affirm same-sex marriage, she will point us to the purpose of male-female marriage, a different kind of gospel-centered love between believers of the same sex, and God's life-and-love-filled vision for singleness.

For decades, our guest chased the truth behind unsolved murders as a cold-case homicide detective. Then he turned his skills toward investigating the death of Christ---and was converted from atheism. Join us as he uncovers multiple life-truths first described in Scripture but also gleaned from studying life and human nature. Don’t miss this fascinating conversation!

It’s no secret that our government-run public education system has held generations of Americans hostage. The teachers unions—the government’s stormtroopers—have been hard at work running a mass misinformation campaign to convince parents that because this is how it has always been, this is how it has to be. But here’s what you may not realize: the parents are winning, and we have entered the death spiral of the education dictatorship. The school choice revolution is here, and moms and dads are successfully restoring parental rights in education, one state, one school district at a time. Our guest, America’s most prominent and influential advocate of school choice, unapologetically argues why parents and political leaders must lean into the culture war taking place in schools. He exposes the hypocritical elites who are content to hold other people’s children captive to poorly run government schools while sending their own children to the best private and charter schools out there. He will help us to “look well to the ways of our household”. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you truly experience the promises Jesus gave to those who follow him—the benefits of peace, freedom, and love? The fact is that many of us struggle with a gap between what we believe about God and how we encounter him in our everyday lives. We don't want our faith to be merely conceptual—we want to experience it viscerally—and yet we often come up against one or more of these major gaps: · I believe God loves me, but I don't feel it. · I believe God is with me, but I don't see him. · I thought I'd be further along in my spiritual progress by now. Join us to learn some tangible tools for engaging with God in a deeper, more soul-satisfying way. Discover patterns that keep you spiritually stuck so that you can replace them with habits and practices that will lead to a more vibrant faith life.

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.

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. While it’s important to be uncompromising when we communicate the truth, Scripture also calls us to speak the truth with love. Join us today to learn how to establish caring and compassionate relationships with those whom you desire to reach for Christ. 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.

This hour we tackle the issue of same-sex attraction and how the Church should respond. We will hear about some of the questions pastors and lay leaders have been asking our guest during his monthly Zoom calls. These calls are designed to equip those in leadership with sound, biblical responses to the myriad of questions swirling around this topic. Learn how you should answer those same questions as well. Today, we hear how to think biblically, critically, and compassionately. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This hour we connect with one of Washington’s most esteemed columnists covering national defense and security issues. We will once again focus on China and its growing threats. From biological to nuclear warfare, the CCP is committed to global hegemony and shows no signs of stopping. Our guest will tell you more of what he has discovered.

Could you forgive the shooter who murdered your spouse? Our guest---and three others---did so, privately and publicly, after the Charleston church massacre. Recounting the memory of his wife's death, hear this pastor reveal why he chose that path; what forgiveness should look like; and how true biblical love and mercy differ from our cultural patterns. Be inspired by his remarkable actions! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Addiction is a huge problem in this country and, yes, it does impact the Church. Join us to hear a transparent and unashamed conversation with a father and daughter as they share first-person insights into the daughter’s struggles with drugs and alcohol as a teen---and what it took to get and stay clean. Her pastor father will offer a parent's perspective of those years and provide hope and real strategies to those longing for freedom---and their loved ones.

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.

We start with some stories making headlines this hour and then move to a conversation about the anti-Israel protests happening on dozens of college campuses all across the country. Are these protests about free speech or is something more insidious happening? We then talk with a man who has been telling the culture of the importance of human exceptionalism. We will tackle questions posed by the ‘nature’s rights’ movement and what that means in terms of protecting our fellow man. We will also look at proposal out of Belgium that euthanizing old people would save the tax payers money. Much to think about this hour so join us as we learn how to apply Truth to the world around us. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
