The story of the black experience in America is not limited to the accounts of oppression during the days of slavery. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we once again spoke to a man whose life has been marked by his passion for civil rights and the desire to see the stories of these resilient people shared and retold as encouragement and motivation to those who see themselves as less than in our society. He shared how their strength and perseverance against seemingly insurmountable odds can be a model for restoration and progress in America today and why radical grace must be an essential element in that transformation. In practical terms how do we speak the often uncomfortable truth of the Gospel those who are actively resistant while still showing genuine love? It is not a simple proposition. But our guest helped clear away the fog with some clear, biblically sound guidelines to help us understand how to speak the truth in love and why humility is an essential element is these conversations. He also prepared us for the inevitable times of rejection we will face and how to handle those with grace. A respected bible teacher and expert on the Holy Land joined us for a timely conversation on the roots of the conflict now consuming the Middle East. He explained God’s covenant with the Jewish people, why this people has faced rejection and discrimination throughout human history and how the events of history are playing a dramatic and direct role in the conflict today. Where do you turn when it seems like everything around you is falling apart and your human resources are just not enough? Our guest shared his own moving story as a teaching tool to help us understand what it looks like practically to find your strength and hope in the faithful promises and character of God. As we close out this week you are invited to join us for another challenging discussion on the headlines of the week and how to understand them through the lens of scripture.
