In the Market with Janet Parshall

Once again, it was a busy week on In the Market with Janet Parshall as we discussed relevant topics. We began the week with a conversation regarding the milestone document,  the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, celebrating its 70th anniversary. We then discussed a hotbed issue in the UK on whether or not you can determine your gender, race or age. We heard the true story of a 3rd Century Bishop, Saint Nicholas whose life was embellished into the legend of Santa Clause. We then engaged in an important discussion about racial equality and received an introduction to the historical and theological reliability of the Gospels. Today, we put some new topics on the table so give us a call on Open Phones Friday!

 

Join us today for an introduction to the historical and theological reliability of the Gospels for skeptics, scholars—and everybody in between. Our guest will answer questions about how the accounts were handed down throughout history and he will address objections that they're historical fiction, were imposed on the early church by a council, or were simply created to fit existing messianic prophecies. Come with your questions so that you may better ‘contend for the faith.’

Do you remember the horrible incident at the Pulse Nightclub in Florida?  What happened to some of the survivors of that awful event? And, what is a Freedom March? Join us for a markedly different approach to one of the most hotly debated issues in our culture today. 

Christmas is a joyous time of year.  Yet some Christians wonder whether or not it is right to celebrate Christmas. Are we affirming ancient pagan practices or rejoicing over the birth of a King?  Join us today for a Bible-based conversation that tackles that question.

He recently gave a speech that made some people uncomfortable, but is his message one that must be heard today? Are we fighting for real racial equality? Is there a deadly genocide taking place right before our eyes?  Don’t miss a minute of this very important conversation. 

Saint Nicholas - Sinter Klaas - Santa Claus – all names for a major symbol of Christmas.  But is he just a symbol?  Join us today to hear the story of Nicholas, 3rd Century Bishop of Myra, Asia Minor (present day Turkey) and how over time, stories of his holy, generous life were embellished into legend. Discover additions made to the story by writer Washington Irving, minister Clement Moore, Civil War illustrator Thomas Nast, and Coca-Cola artist Haddom Sundblom.  Don’t miss a minute of this fascinating history lesson. 

So many people struggle with sexual sin and brokenness.  How should we counsel those who hurt?  How do we help those who are ensnared by sexual sin? What is the biblical approach to freedom from sin?  Join us to hear the answers to these questions from someone who has been there.  Come with you questions as well. 

Join us for a full hour of news as we travel from the UN to the UK.  We start with the headlines of the day and then discuss the 70th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  We then wing our way to the UK and discuss whether or not you can determine not only your gender but your race and your age.  Don’t miss a minute of the discussion.

Plan A for your life was to find the right person, fall in love, get married, raise a family, and live in an intimate relationship forever.  That's what you always dreamed about and wanted.  That plan hasn't worked out.  The beautiful dream has dissolved into sadness, disappointment, frustration and pain.  Now what do you do? How do you recognize abuse in a relationship and what does a believer do when abuse in part of the marriage?  Come with your questions and hear clear, biblical answers.

Christmas should be a time for joy, yet many Christians struggle with the dark shadow of depression that can cast over our lives. Too often, our depression is compounded by a sense of personal shame or guilt. Our guest today will explain how depression is actually a signal, warning us of emotional damage that needs repair. Join us to find a blueprint for restoring emotional health and learn how to rekindle the hope of faith that is both biblically and psychologically sound.
