In the Market with Janet Parshall

The Bible is explicit: We live in a world of distinct opponents; our very lives are a battle. Yet too many Christians lose more battles than they win and endure their walk with God rather than enjoy it because they don't recognize the enemy when they see it. More importantly, they have no idea how to respond. While society tells us we can react simply, the truth is that a wish, a hope, and a prayer are not the best responses to attacks from those who stand between us and the Father.  Christians must be strategic in their reactions to these clearly defined enemies, learning how to fight biblically and effectively rather than just sincerely teaching on how to recognize and resolve attacks from the world.  Come with your questions and get a clear, biblical answer from our guest.

We have a great hour of radio ready for you!  We start by looking at the headlines of the day.  Then we discuss Human trafficking, as January is a month set aside to highlight this atrocity.  We then get our regular monthly report on the persecuted church. Fair warning - get ready to lengthen your prayer list!

Hostility and hunger - that's the response to the message of Jesus. The first is painful, the second is wonderful.  So how do we handle both responses?  Today our guest will give short, clear, realistic and humorous responses designed to challenge us to be honest in our conversations about Jesus, help us to know how to talk about Him, and remind us that God can and will use ordinary people to change eternal destinies.

When God looks at you does he smile, or does he frown? What does he think of you right now? And when you look at your Christian life, how do you deal with knowing you are completely forgiven, and yet still consistently failing?  Many of us veer between rejoicing on our good days and feeling wretched on our bad ones. Some try to forget about sin. Others forget about salvation. But real confidence and joy lie in holding these two truths together: that you are perfect, and you are a sinner--every day. Join us to learn how God really sees you.

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 on In the Market with Janet Parshall! We began by taking a look into the relationship between Christianity and the people and land of Israel. We learned how to pray in ways that release God’s power and blessings by the chaplain of the U.S. Senate. We also received an update on an important legal case dealing with religious liberty and heard about current challenges Christians face in the U.K.. Finally, we took a fresh look at ADD not as a malady, but as a unique way of thinking. Today, we put several topics on the table and we’d love to know your thoughts so call in with your questions on Open Phones Friday.

This week on In the Market with Janet Parshall, we heard the good news of a baby’s birth that made national headlines. We also learned about a new major Christian film coming this Easter. We were given an update on the new “transgender policy’ in the military and discussed how victims of sexual assault can be healed and restored. For the sleep deprived, we discussed why not getting enough sleep can be very detrimental. Get ready to jump in on several new issues to be discussed on today’s Open Phones Friday.

People who love or work with someone with ADD often feel conflicted: they want to help, but they don’t want to enable. They value the person’s creativity, but they are exhausted. Today, our guest will address ten myths about ADD, the pros and cons of medication, foods that help to minimize ADD, twelve strengths of people with ADD, new studies on how to calm the mind, showing empathy even when it’s hard, and more.

Can't sleep?  Why not? We will hear 5 reasons why we should be concerned if we are sleep deprived.  And - "dieting" can be a nasty word.  We will talk about the physical, emotional and especially spiritual elements that lead to permanent weight loss. Learn why you do what you do, how you can shed bad habits for good, and how, with the help of God and others, you can develop a whole new approach to life, to eating, and to living healthy and free.

The headlines are screaming and the statistics are jarring. One in four women and one in six men are or will be victims of sexual assault in their lifetime. But as sobering as the statistics are, they don't begin to speak to the darkness and grief experienced by these victims. Because sexual assault causes physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual pain, victims need clear help, hope, and healing.  Our guests today will offered a new vision of how the grace of God can heal the broken and restore the disgraced.
