In the Market with Janet Parshall

What a week in the marketplace of ideas here on In the Market with Janet Parshall! We shared the story of a police officer turned playwright who wrote a world premiere musical and learned how to keep our personal information safe and secure on the internet. We listened to the story of a skeptic turned Christian. History was made when the President began the process of moving the US Embassy from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem. We heard a Christmas story from the “keeper of the story.” We also unpacked the current transgender policy in the military and then discussed the overburdened foster care system.  Now, it’s your turn. Give us a call on Open Phones Friday!

 

We began this week learning how communication is paramount in a marriage and took calls on helping make marriage the very best it can be. We tackled the crucial issue of eternal security. Then, we discussed how former gays and lesbians are finding lasting freedom from same-sex attraction. We then learned how to share our faith without being afraid. Now it’s time to open the phones and hear from you!

 

We have a full hour of radio on deck, starting with the headlines of the day and then we learn about more confusing social experimentation within the ranks of our military. What is the current status of the "transgender policy?" We give you an update.  Finally, one of the most troublesome issues in our country today is the problem with foster care.  What role should the Church play in remedying the overburdened system that leaves children in limbo, without a permanent home? Get ready to lengthen your prayer list - and be called to action!

Our guest today will demonstrate that spiritual conversations have the potential to profoundly impact someone’s faith journey, when we simply engage people with honesty and respect. For people who are intimidated or fatigued by the idea of talking about matters of faith, we will hear about conversations that avoid offering platitudes and unnecessary divisiveness, and instead draw people toward the Good News of Jesus Christ. Discover refreshing portraits of natural, authentic, God-directed dialogues that protect the dignity of the people we love and lead them into life-changing conversations.

Join us as our guest presents clear evidence that former gays and lesbians are finding lasting freedom from a life defined by “gay” identity fallacies. The results of First Stone Ministries’ groundbreaking, long-term survey highlight the freedom former homosexuals are finding through Christ and the power of the gospel. You will hear the behind-the-scenes story of the collapse of the Exodus International ministry to homosexuals, common causes for homosexuality, and real-life illustrations of effective ministry approaches. Hear why some fail and go back into darkness and how to overcome same-sex attractions. Prepare for an hour of Truth told in love.

Today, history was made when the President began the process of moving the US Embassy from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem. We will explain the significance of this decision and the potential reaction to come. Then, it really isn't Christmastime until the 'keeper of the story' join us to read one of his stories from the 26th edition (yes, it's been 26 years!) of Christmas In My Heart.  Bring the hot cocoa and pull up a chair.  It's that wonderful time of year!

 

Join us as we spend time with a skeptic who became a Christian and then a pastor, all while exploring answers to the most difficult questions raised against Christianity. You will learn about the top ten God questions of our present age, including, Does God even exist? What do we do with Christianity's violent history? Is Jesus just another myth? Can the Bible be trusted? Why should we believe in Hell anymore today? Discover why Jesus IS the only way!

Today we tackle a crucial issue - assurance of salvation.  Our guest will speak on the power and beauty of true, secure assurance of faith: the heartfelt conviction that one belongs to Christ through faith and will enjoy everlasting salvation. Our guest will clarify what the basis of Christian assurance is and then examines how that assurance should affect the life of every Christian.  Come join in with your questions!

We continue our conversations with a man who has practiced counseling married couples for years.  He knows what we NEED to know - that communication is paramount in a marriage.  What should we talk about? How do we talk to one another? What if we don't want to talk?  What if past hurts get in the way?  Join us for a great hour of conversation designed to help us have the very best marriages possible - and come with your questions.

We begin this hour with the latest headlines. We then hear the story of a police officer turned playwright.  We will hear why he was enthralled by the story of one of the great heroes of the faith.  Then - guard your wallet!  How do we protect our assets in the midst of an era of continuous hacking into our personal information?  Hear how to protect yourself and get ready for a jammed-pack hour of radio!
