In the Market with Janet Parshall

Were most cults and new religions simply passing fads of the late-twentieth century, or are some of them still growing today? What new sects have emerged, and what dangers do they present? How should Christians respond? Our guest, a Bible teacher and apologetics expert, will examine several cults, offer an explanation of the group’s major doctrines and will offer a Christian apologetic response. Join us for a fascinating conversation!

Sometimes it arrives as a moment of joy in the middle of despair. Sometimes you find it next to a trusted friend along an old, well-trodden path. And sometimes, grace has fuzzy ears, a bristled mane, and hope for a new start.  This hour you will hear the story of a miniature donkey named Henry and how our guest found that walking with donkeys has surprising lessons to teach us about prayer, renewing our faith, and connecting to God in fresh ways.

More and more people are supporting socialism these days—from radical leftists to well-meaning Christians. Many people point to the Biblical commandments to look after the poor as an endorsement of socialism and the redistribution of wealth, saying that the Bible not only supports but mandates socialism. However, socialism is both unconstitutional and unbiblical—and has proven to be dangerous whenever it is put into action. Join us to discover what the Bible has to say this subject.

This week on In The Market with Janet Parshall we looked at the effort by some to disconnect the Old Testament from the New Testament. We learned Christ honoring ways to have those inevitable hard conversations in life. Then we heard about the power of Jesus to transform the life of a hardened gang leader into a fully committed follower of Christ. We learned about God’s work to help the refugees of Syria and how He is changing lives all over the Muslim world. Now it’s your chance to weigh in on the big news of the week.

On the program this week, we heard solid answers to some of those tough biblical questions.  We talked about the breaking the silence of abuse, especially in the Church. Then we found out how to get rid of those fad diets and learned how to  start to live a healthy lifestyle. We also heard from a man born without arms who learned how to turn his adversity into a life of purpose.  Now the lines are open so you can share your thoughts on the big news stories of the week.

Adversity can lead to doubt on the deepest levels: compared to others who have it "all together," our lives, with our difficulties, can seem beyond our ability to deal with daily tasks, let alone bigger topics like purpose, love, or faith.  Our guest was born facing a unique kind of adversity.  Yet after he surrendered his life to Christ as a young man, he learned that only in Christ could true worth and purpose be found—freeing him from others' comparisons and restrictions to live a full life that seemed impossible. Join us to hear a story that will teach us to tackle life's challenges with grace and creativity—as he shows us how to see your life through Christ's eyes.

We are traveling the world this hour.  First, we begin with the headlines of the day and then we wing our way to overseas to hear how Syrian refugees are being helped in the midst of devastation.  We linger a bit longer in the Middle East to hear what is happening to believers in the Islamic world.  Fair warning – this hour of radio is designed to lengthen your prayer list.

 

Tired of diet plans that don't work? Focus on progress, not perfection! Emphasizing the importance of minimizing sugar and short-term intermittent fasting, our guests combine key spiritual principles with science-based tips to help you lose excess body fat---and improve your brain function, resistance to disease, energy level, and more. Get ready for real change in your life.

Join us to hear the dramatic transformation of the gang leader once considered one of California's most violent criminals! Our guest will describe his childhood in Los Angeles, what drove him to join the Rockwood Street Locos as an 11-year-old, his criminal experiences and prison life, and the miraculous vision of Jesus he experienced while in solitary confinement. Don’t miss a minute of this riveting story of real transformation!

Abuse is never acceptable but this topic is almost always avoided in the Church.  Why is that?  Where does someone turn to for help?  How do you counsel a hurting person or stop an abuser?  What does Scripture have to say?  Join us to learn when enough is enough  in an abusive marriage.
