In the Market with Janet Parshall

"I don't know what to say."  You've probably heard that statement many times from well-meaning people when a friend or family member is going through a difficult time.  Our guest today speaks with a qualified voice about the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs faced in today's society.  Join us to learn the Biblical model for helping others who face emotional and mental trauma.

Sparks can fly in a marriage when communication isn’t what it should be.  Over the last several months, we have been walking through key areas of a marriage where talking and listening is crucial. Parenting is one of those areas.  Do you clash with your spouse on how to parent? Rules and disciplining your children? Raising them spiritually?  Come with your questions and learn to improve how to talk with your mate.

Today, we are doing things a bit differently as both Janet and Craig speak with one of the leading prophecy experts in the country.  Join us for a very special OPEN PHONES FRIDAY when we open the lines and let you ask any question you have on the End Times, the anti-Christ, and the calendar of events for the last days.  Don’t miss this exciting hour of radio.

On In the Market with Janet Parshall this week, we listened to an intense cultural conversation on the roles women play today in and outside the home. We also learned about a fabulous ministry that is meeting the spiritual and physical needs of the people of New Guinea. We then heard about an organization training leaders to have a well-grounded biblical worldview. On Wednesday, we discussed the diminishing religions liberty within the ranks of the military and learned about a film some deem controversial because of its premise that people who struggle with gender dysphoria can change.  Finally, we heard a true story of profound loss mingled with hopeful faith. Now, we want you to call-in with your thoughts on the stories you’ll hear today on Open Phones Friday.

Our guest felt like the luckiest man in the world.  He was talented, pastor of a thriving church, national director of a prayer movement and married to the girl of his dreams. Little did he know that his world would soon be consumed in darkness.  The questions he asked are the same ones most of us ask when we walk through dark trials: Hadn’t he been faithful and obedient? Why hadn’t God answered his prayers? Why? Join us for a profound and hopeful exploration of loss and faith.

When you hear that your child has a disability, your heart and hope may be broken, but your faith doesn't need to be. Today, our guest, a special needs advocate will help parents reconcile how God can be good even though your situation is devastating. Speaking from personal experience, she will articulate unspoken doubts and questions parents ask. Will my child still have a full life? Can I do this? Where is God in all this?

We start our hour by discussing the latest headlines then move to a discussion on diminishing religious liberty within the ranks of the military.  We finish the hour by discussing a film deemed to be too controversial because it dares to tell people who struggle with gender dysphoria that they can change.  Don’t miss this conversation. 

It’s often not discussed within the church but it should be.  Today, our guest addresses the fears and exhaustion of single parenting while revealing the keys to gaining strength and courage for each day. He will share how he found his "solo" relationship with his heavenly Father through his "solo" parenting season. Learn five helpful habits and practical healing principles to help you parent “solo.”  

We start this jammed-packed hour by looking at the headlines of the day.  Next, we learn about a fabulous ministry that is working to meet the needs, both spiritually and physically, of the people of New Guinea.  We round out the hour by hearing about a wonderful organization in Washington, D.C. designed to train leaders with an unshakable Christian conviction and a well-grounded biblical worldview. 

Welcome to now. Our technology has greatly improved much of our lives, but in the process our brains are being rewired on a daily basis, and our capacity to be centered in our souls, in our lives, is at risk. And these are the results: We're more easily distracted. We forget more details. We are easily agitated and have trouble resting, even though we're more tired than ever. Today our guest reintroduces us to the classic disciplines of Scripture reading, meditation, prayer, and contemplation--not just as technologies to aid our faith but also as tools to keep us focused and mindful in an increasingly disorienting digital age.
