In the Market with Janet Parshall

The path of addiction is littered with pain for those who are struggling---and the friends and family who suffer alongside them. Our guest will offer answers to tough questions, including: Am I an addict? Why is the first step so hard? How can I rebuild my life? Where do I go from here? Come with your questions as well and start on the path to healing.

Join us for a ride back into early American history.  Learn about a daring military commander who was also an American statesman whose passionate argument in favor of national unity helped ratify the Constitution.  Hear about his friendships with people like George and Martha Washington, Nathanael Greene, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and more.  And discover how his son lead a battle that almost tore the country apart.  Don’t miss a minute of this riveting history lesson.

This hour we bring you news for around the world.  After looking at the headlines of the day, we will hear from one of Washington’s most respected journalist on some of his recent concerns regarding national security with a focus on China.  We then hear from the president of Open Doors, as they have just released their WATCH LIST of countries of the greatest concern with regards to religious persecution.  Which country topped the list this year?

There's no question that Scripture has influenced music since the first ever song was penned.  Today our guest, an author and music connoisseur, takes an in-depth look at the lyrics and cultural context of 100 of the greatest songs from the 1930s to today to reveal an often overlooked or ignored strand of influence in popular music-the Bible. Indeed, some of the "greats"-including Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Bono, Johnny Cash, Sting, and others-have repeatedly returned to the Bible for such sustenance, as well as musical inspiration and a framework with which they can better understand themselves.  Join us for a great musical experience designed to help you listen to your favorite song or popular tune in a new way after discovering how the Bible has influenced music.

The New Age movement has returned with full force in our culture taking the West and its churches by storm. All across North America, Christian churches have unknowingly encouraged occult beliefs and practices far removed from what the Bible teaches. This unfortunate reality is intrinsically linked to the popularity increase of New Age spirituality in the twenty-first century, and we've been so influenced by its integration into our society that we have become blind to recognizing, and preventing, the effects of this mainstream, pop-culture heresy, even within the walls of God's house.  Join us for a riveting wake-up call to the Church from a former New Age practitioner. 

On Friday, March 20, 2009, fifteen months after the City of Oakland, California, passed a law making it illegal to approach a woman entering an abortion clinic without her consent, our guest went to jail for standing on a public sidewalk outside an abortion clinic with a sign saying, "God loves you and your baby. Let us help you."  What happened next started out as a legal travesty and turned into a prison ministry.  Hear the story of what happened to this descendant of black slaves and a disciple of his hero Martin Luther King Jr.  Learn what it truly means to stand up for the Truth.

Be proud of your scars. They’re signs that you survived whatever tried to break you.  For our guest, life has been a journey from one scar to the next. From one challenge to the next. His is a story of pushing through pain and overcoming obstacles of all shapes and sizes—of choosing to fight for the sake of his family, his community, and his faith.  Millions of people around the world have been inspired by his tireless devotion in helping his daughter, Leah, learn how to “beat up cancer.” Join us to hear his declaration that our challenges reveal our purpose, that our scars make us stronger, and that no loss is too great to stop our comeback.

Everywhere we turn, we hear negative financial news-that the American Dream is dead or that the little man can't get ahead. Our culture feeds us the lie that it's impossible to become a millionaire in America today, but it's time you heard the truth. Today our guest will destroy millionaire myths that are keeping everyday people from achieving financial independence. He will share the results of a survey of over 10,000 US millionaires, discovering how these high-net-worth people reached their financial status. And the formula might surprise you.

This week on In the Market with Janet Parshall we welcomed our Bible expert who offered clear, concise answers to your perplexing Bible questions. We discussed radical environmentalism and received a Christian view of wealth and poverty. We were encouraged to develop a “discipleship of the mind” with a renowned theologian. Finally, we examined some specific contemporary attacks on Christianity. Now, it’s time for some new “news stories” and to give you a chance to sound off.

We started off another great week on In the Market with Janet Parshall with a look at how events in the Middle East relate to bible prophecy and our lives as believers.  We put our armor on and got out on the battlefield as we discussed spiritual warfare and why it is important for God’s people to be armed and ready. We also looked at the myths surrounding building wealth in America today and why it’s not as impossible as many of us think. Finally, we looked at the challenge of making changes in your life and keeping resolutions. Now, it’s time to put a Christian focus on some of the important new stories of the week and we want you to join us in the discussion.
