Famously described as the “long, withdrawing roar” of the “Sea of Faith,” the Christian narrative that shaped the West has been replaced by sweeping secularism. But is that the end of the story? It was a conversation with agnostic journalist Douglas Murray that led our guest to investigate whether a change was on the horizon. Speaking of the “Sea of Faith,” Murray remarked that tides come back in again and that a number of his intelligent friends had converted to Christianity in recent years. Our guest will outline the dramatic fall of New Atheism and the birth of a new conversation on whether God makes sense of science, history, culture, and the search for meaning. People are returning to Christianity—but is the church prepared to welcome a new wave of faith?

Who do you say that I am?” Jesus asks each one of us that question, and there are a lot of wrong answers out there. By exposing the phony Christs peddled by progressives, our guest will explain why the Jesus of the Bible is the one to trust. The first generation of Christians was careful to preserve what the apostles taught about their Master, collecting the inspired accounts in the New Testament. Progressive teachers and churches now offer a version of Jesus that emphasizes friendliness, acceptance, and tolerance—a version that many Christians are falling for. They don’t realize that they’ve been sold a fairy tale that is historically and biblically indefensible. Our guest will test the progressive version of Jesus against the four canonical gospels, which remain the most credible sources for Jesus’s life, teachings, miracles, death, and resurrection.

Our guest came to America as a young woman. After 9/11, she joined the Defense Intelligence Agency, devoting her career to protecting her new country. She joins us to reveal in chilling detail Putin’s long-range plan—his “playbook”—to weaken and subdue the United States, preparing for the war that he believes is inevitable. With the insight of a native, she will explain how Russians, formed by centuries of war-torn history, understand the world and their national destiny. The collapse of the Soviet empire, which Putin experienced as a vulnerable KGB agent in East Germany, was a catastrophic humiliation. Seeing himself as the modern “Czar Vladimir” of a unique Slavic nation at war with the West, he is determined to restore Russia to its place as a great power. Our guest’s analysis is enriched by her deeply personal account of her life in the Soviet Union. Devoted to her adopted homeland but concerned about the complacency of her fellow citizens, she appreciates American freedoms as only a survivor of totalitarianism can.

Could there be a bigger agenda behind the push for minimum wage for everyone? This week on In The Market with Janet Parshall we peeled back the layers to reveal the potential socialist underpinnings of this movement and why believers need to stand up for God’s prescribed model for governance. How do we reach our Jewish friends and family with the message that their Messiah has come and is coming again? Our guest explained the challenges of sharing the gospel with God’s chosen people and how to help them understand that believing in Jesus is not apostasy but obedience to God’s plan for their lives and their nation. If you’ve ever wanted proof that God never wastes anything, our guest was that proof. We heard the riveting story of how God used the life and training of a cold case detective to prove the claims of the gospels. Our guest took us step by step on his journey to faith as he examined the eye witness accounts of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we marked the Labor Day holiday with a timely discussion on how to navigate the challenges of the workplace without compromising your faith walk. A mother shared the moving story of how her son’s time in prison became the doorway that God used to teach her how to listen for His voice in the times of her deepest pain. She shared these powerful insights with us and reminded us all that His promise to never leave or forsake us still holds true. Like never before Christian parents have to stand up for biblical truth and raise their children to walk in the ways of the Lord. Our guest gave us practical insights on how build a lifetime habit of discipleship, discipline and living life with a Christian worldview into our kids. At one time the King James Bible was the only bible in town. But with new translations came new challenges for understanding and biblical accuracy. We looked at some of the biggest and most important issues related to bible translation including reliability, what exactly makes one translation different from another and the introduction of chapters and verses to the scriptures. The news we hear daily can make it seem like the ground beneath us is constantly unstable. But with a clear line of sight from the scriptures to the headlines, Janet and Craig invite you to dig deeper into some of the top stories of the week.
