John 15:13 says that there is no greater love than to lay down your own life for the life of a friend. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we gave you an opportunity to hear a powerful story of one man who lived this very verse when he rescued a friend and interpreter from the coming of the Taliban in Afghanistan when the U.S. pulled its forces out in 2021. He explained how that singular act turned into mission to rescue hundreds of others from the terrorists. We shared with you the firsthand account of man who found himself in the national spotlight and the subject of much ridicule because he refused to bake a cake for a same sex couple. His account of the ups and downs of this journey leading all the way to the highest court in the land is an example to us all of what it means to live out your faith boldly despite criticism and mockery in the marketplace of ideas. Unexpectedly in the last few years we have seen a greater acceptance of Socialism and its ideas across our nation and along with that acceptance has come a rewriting of history that says that Jesus was in favor of socialist ideas such as redistribution of wealth and welfare states. Our guest addressed this fallacy and how it is being used to lure young people into rejection of our capitalist society in favor of one that adheres to socialist ideas without exposing them to the dangerous negatives inherent in this philosophy. No marriage is without challenges, including Christian ones. But how those challenges are handled can be drastically different for believing couples. Our guest used her marriage to teach us 7 essential beliefs that can help a marriage thrive and survive while building a stronger love with its foundation buried deep in willingness to let God heal the marriage. Once again, our favorite husband and wife team invite you for another exploration of the news of the week through the lens of scripture.

How to Overcome the Painful Deception

w/ Denise Schick

Mary welcomes back Carl Kerby, creationist and apologist at Reasons for Hope Ministry where equipping a new generation to boldly defend truth is the priority. Today we chat with Carl on two separate topics: “Appreciation or Expectation?”, and the one-letter difference between a “Word” view and a “World” view. What are the main things that separate the two approaches – Word and World (besides one lonely letter!) – for our understanding of life? Well, creation for one, which really does establish the ground work for all we believe. Is it chance or design? Other things that separate us from the world are how we value life, our moral base, our identity and our destiny. We also take a look at the difference between “appreciation” and “expectation”. One exists in the here-and-now; the other exists in the unknown future and can be a true relationship killer when we presume what we deserve. The opposite of appreciation is insensitivity, disrespect, callousness, and disapproval. If you have ever had a parent who was never satisfied, or a boss who took credit for everything, you know how it feels to be unappreciated, invisible, and devalued. What does the Bible say? All this and more from Carl Kerby, co-creator of “DeBunk’d” videos,  “Weapons of Mass Instruction”, “Fast Facts” and much more. Their YouTube presence can be found here.
