The ongoing conflict in the Middle East that fills the evening news is not stopping God and his people from sharing the hope of the Gospel in that part of the world. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we once again heard from a friend of the program who has been called to serve the people in Iran. He shared more stories of God at work bringing thousands to salvation despite the turmoil in the region. We also talked to another friend of the program who was in Israel at the time of the Iranian attacks and shared his experience along with how the war is continuing to create an open door for more of the people there to coming to the saving knowledge of their Messiah. Hell is no easy topic to discuss. It is often ignored or turned into a punchline by many people because they do not want to consider the possibility that what the Bible says could really be real. A beloved and respected evangelist joined Janet this week to discuss the sobering reality of Hell by taking us back to God’s word to see what He says about this place of eternal punishment. But he also helped us see that understanding the truth about Hell is essential for opening people’s eyes to the need for a Savior. Our favorite Scottish apologist joined showed us how using God’s word to answer important life questions can help us draw closer and deeper in our relationship with Him. In the shifting currents of the time we live in there needs to be an unmovable anchor that keeps our lives from crashing on the rocks. We heard from a man who examined the current attacks on Christianity and how the unmovable truth of God’s word has and will always be the defense against of such attacks. It’s time to turn our attention to the news of the week as we dig deeper into the headlines and examine them against God’s straight stick of truth.

Hour 2:  Hope That Refines

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week Janet was joined by her daughter as they took a deep dive into a crucial report out of the United Kingdom that stands up against the popular medical advice to give puberty blockers to children who are struggling with issues of identity. It calls for treatment of their mental challenges instead of causing irreversible lifelong damage. We took a closer look at some legal cases that could impact the lives of believers in significant ways including the firing of Christian metal worker and a case out of Tennessee that could open the door to pro-life supporters get long prison sentences for standing up for the pre-born. The Gospel is not just about salvation it is also about living out the qualities of Christ. Our guest shared stories of how the lives of women and children have been changed by those who live out the love of Jesus through their demonstrations of charity and biblical justice. How do you stand firm in a world that is increasingly hostile to sound biblical truth? We heard from a teacher and apologist how to not only start eternally important conversation but how to also share our beliefs confidently and engage in winsome but effective discussions with others. The news never rests and neither does our need to examine it closely and clearly. Join us as our favorite husband and wife team continue to teach us how to be good watchers on the wall for our families and our nation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 1:   Truth That Defines

The West has become permeated with a culture that doesn't 'do' God. Many people assert that we have progressed, while Christians are still clinging to outdated ideas. Our guest today will take a look at the contemporary attacks on Christianity and marriage, showing why we can and must' continue in the faith' (Col.1:23).

Hour 2:   Why We Still Believe

In a world that continually challenges Christian truth, our guest will demonstrate how to initiate conversations effortlessly; present beliefs clearly, cleverly, and persuasively; expose faulty thinking graciously and effectively; manage a dialogue skillfully; and maintain an engaging, disarming style even under attack. Join us to learn how to better “contend” for the faith. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our guest, a respected Scottish apologist, will help you on the way to seeking Him. Discover real word answers to important real world questions. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
