In the Market with Janet Parshall

How do you live as a Christian in a post-Christian culture that assumes there is no such thing as truth, and everyone has a right to their own reality?  What happens when good is called evil and evil is called good?  How , then, shall we live?  Join us to be challenged on living an authentic Christian life in a pagan culture.  

Today we explore the “why” behind self-destructive sexual choices. Our guest will share research that found unwanted sexual behavior can be both shaped by and predicted based on the parts of our story—past and present—that remain unaddressed. When we pay attention to our unwanted sexual desires and identify the unique reasons that trigger them, the path of healing is revealed. Many of us feel ashamed and unwanted after years of sexual brokenness but we will learn to see that behavior as the very location God can most powerfully work in their lives.

We had a full week on In the Market with Janet Parshall. We heard a riveting story on what it was like to survive one of the worst naval disasters in military history. We then heard a dramatic, firsthand account of an enjoyable Canadian retreat that turned into a nightmare. We received tools and guidelines to help us anticipate and avoid seven crippling challenges in life. Yesterday, we learned what forgiveness really means and how we can learn to forgive others. Get ready to weigh in on several new stories we will highlight this hour.

 

Forgiveness is one of those tough topics.  How can we learn to forgive?  Is that the same as forgetting a wrong done to us? What does real forgiveness look like? If there a connection between forgiveness and healing?  Join us for an in-depth conversation on what forgiveness really means.

We desire to be transformed, to grow more and more like Christ. But for many of us, our strategies for change don’t work. We misperceive God as a judgmental Father, leaving us demoralized and paralyzed by shame. Today, our guest will offer a new strategy for spiritual growth and life transformation: regularly returning to the arms of a kind and loving Father. We will discover a process of change that applies to each of us and a healing journey that moves us toward the likeness of the Father in how we love the people around us and address the pain others have caused us.

Today we will learn how to overcome life's unexpected obstacles! Our guest will provide tools and guidelines to help us anticipate and avoid seven crippling challenges. And for those who are already facing these foes, he will share practical steps to getting out and moving forward into a more powerful and vibrant future.

As believers, we're waiting for eternal life. But what is it? Dispelling the myth that it's something we experience when we die, our guest today will show us why it can be defined as "knowing God" in the here and now. We will discover how to be open to God's presence, favor, and resurrection power in every moment of our lives!
