How often in the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season do we think about using everybody’s favorite Christmas hymns as opportunities to share the good news of the gospel? On In The Market with Janet Parshall week we spoke to an award winning gospel singer who shared her journey through 40 years of ministry and how she learned the importance of taking advantage of daily moments to reach into the lives of others with the good news of Christ. With a new president and administration taking the lead of our nation we spoke to a staunch advocate for the pre-born about the potential for a plan to defunding the largest abortion provider in the country and this year’s edition of an important watchlist that reveals which charities are not protective of the unborn. Then we helped you extend your prayer lists as we took you behind the headlines as our guest explained how thousands of Christians have become displaced from their homes as a result of the fighting in Syria and we shared 10 great strategic ways to pray for the people of that nation at this very consequential time. Are government institutions and mandates the best way to bring out real change in underserved communities or is there another way? Our guest, who has been on the front lines of civil rights for decades, addressed the power of the local church and community groups to bring about substantial change. The we heard a boots on the ground account of how believers are continuing to persevere in their faith under the Communist oppression in China. Our favorite missionary to the entertainment industry joined us once again to share more stories of God at work in the lives of the most influential group in all of our lives. We then turned our attention to the destructive influx of fentanyl in the country, how it is getting here, the damage it is doing and what can be done, if anything to turn this deadly epidemic around. Even as we draw closer to the holiday season the unrest around our nation and the world does not stop and our need to have a clear understanding of what is and is not going on doesn’t stop either. So we invite you to attend another radio classroom event with Janet and Craig as they continue to teach us how to use God’s word as the plumbline of truth as we examine the goods on sale in the marketplace of ideas.
