In the Market with Janet Parshall

How do we apply the essence of the gospel to a gay loved one? In what ways can we better walk with truth and grace alongside a fellow Christian with same-sex attractions?  Today our guest will offer theological and practical insights that lead us to find our identity in Christ—not in our sexuality. Our conversation is designed to help both those who identify as gay and those who wrestle with questions of identity.  Join us to get a better understand of sexuality in light of God’s grand story and realize that holy sexuality is actually good news for all.

A characteristic common to God and man," mystery writer Dorothy Sayers declares, is "the desire and ability to make things." Too often Christians and churches neglect art, imagination, and beauty altogether, while artists, on the other hand, are prone to make idols of their own creations. Join us as we discover how to find a sane, enriching balance and nurture the creative among us.

We march, tweet, and speak for those who have no advocate---but often political rhetoric and social debate squelch our cries. How can we make ourselves heard? Encouraging us to call upon the One who's always ready to champion the voiceless, the chaplain of the U.S. Senate will teach us to pray in ways that release God's power and blessings. 

It was a busy week of radio! On Monday’s In the Market with Janet Parshall, we learned how to strike the right balance between sports and our children’s relationship with God. We were challenged to consider how “social justice” differs from “biblical justice.” We explored how the Bible has been misused by some throughout  history to justify both evil and suffering. We also engaged in a tough but important conversation on how to identify abuse in marriage and how to get help and healing when needed. Now, it’s your turn to weigh in on several new stories we will highlight for you this hour. 

What a week of radio on In the Market with Janet Parshall! We began with a discussion on whether a Jewish person can believe in Jesus as the Messiah. We learned how we can help military veterans battling PTSD find their true purpose returning from combat. We were challenged, both individually and collectively, to call on the one who has the ultimate power to release His blessings. On Wednesday, we were shown how to take cover in God-given promised and protections when confronted with danger. We engaged in a thought-provoking discussion on how to deal with racism within the Church. Today, we put several new topics on the table and ask you to call in and share your thoughts. Join us!

Our guest today believes that it’s time to take a hard look at our history and stand together against the indignities and injustice in our world – to understand that justice is both theological and sociological – that there is no intimacy with God without justice in one’s heart.  No more waiting. No more sleeping. Christ our King is coming back, and He’ll be looking for a woke church. Don’t miss a conversation that’s guaranteed to wake a sleepy Church.

Could you identify abuse in your marriage? What is the difference between having some marital tiffs and real abuse? Is there hope for healing and restoration? How do you get help while your spouse heals?  This is a tough but important conversation.  Come with your questions and learn how to get help and healing with real pain.

Today, our guest, a Pastor and former police officer, calls on Christians to take refuge in God (Psalm 46:1), drawing on lessons he learned in law enforcement to affirm that true security is not the absence of danger, but the presence of God. Identifying the major dangers today's Christian faces—including crime, North Korea, Islamic terror, aggressive secularism, and spiritual warfare—he will show us  how we can take cover in God-given promises and protections. 

The Bible’s authority, combined with its long and complex journey, has led to its misuse and abuse in seemingly equally diverse ways.  Today our guest will explore how the Bible has been handled throughout history through sometimes colorful but often overlooked stories and contexts. We will look at topics like: religious cults, Bible riots, apartheid, slavery, Western imperialism, Nazis, environmental exploitation, The English Reformation, Armenian Genocide, witch hunts, the Jonestown massacre, and many others. Join us for a fascinating conversation.
