In the Market with Janet Parshall

On In the Market with Janet Parshall this week we learned about the athleticism of the Christian life. We welcomed a retired NFL wide receiver who used to win games but is now winning souls. We then discussed the issue of censorship on college campuses and learned how to protect our finances in volatile times. We explained how ‘unsatisfaction’ in life can actually draw us closer into a relationship with God. Yesterday, we tackled some of the Bible’s toughest topics. Today, we put some new stories on the table and ask you to weigh in!

Get your dialing fingers ready!  Why? Countless people are worried, angry, fearful and just plain confused when it comes to some of the more perplexing issues that life poses and the Bible provokes. Our guest will work to tackle frustration by looking deeply, not superficially, at what Scripture says, deriving clear and persuasive explanations for your questions on some of the Bible’s toughest topics.

We know that our material comforts and temporal accomplishments are not enough to fully satisfy us. Momentary pleasures, whether of pure or darker motivations, are fleeting at best. But Christians often hear the idea that following Jesus means that we should be living a life of full satisfaction. How many of us actually experience that kind of life? Our guest will explain that our very ‘unsatisfaction’ indicates a longing for God, and understanding those longings can bring us closer to relationship with him. And that is where true spiritual health and vitality reside.
