In the Market with Janet Parshall

We started the week with a timely and compassionate conversation aimed at helping us navigate terms such as “transgender” and “gender fluidity” and how to respond biblically to these complicated issues. We then got a sneak peek into a panel discussion that took place in Israel of what it really looks like to follow Jesus in the Holy Land. Mid-week, we continued our journey into the Holy Land to hear stories of people who live and minister there. Finally, we expose the unbiblical beliefs people hold about God and presented the truth about who He really is. What did you think about these topics? Give us a call with your response! 

Did you know that much of what you believe about God is not true? All of us have distorted views of God that come from misinformation, our childhoods, and our insecurities. Our misconceptions of God make it difficult to have an intimate relationship with Him. Yet most of us don't even realize what our faulty views of God are. Your view of God--and your assumptions about His view of you--affect you every moment of the day. That's why it's so important that you know the truth about who God is. Our guest will expose the unbiblical beliefs we hold about God and explores the truth about who God really is--truth that can set us free to enjoy the God who wants us to know Him more.

If you listen to any political argument, you're eventually bound to hear something like: "The science is settled on this." Or: "Just look at the statistics!" Or: "There have been studies that say...Today, we are joined by a man who believes we are actually living in an age where people are easily mislead by all-too-convincing false statistics and studies. We debunk so-called "facts" used to advance political causes rather than actual science.  Get ready for a fascinating conversation.

The truth about the American Revolution is under attack. Despite what you may have learned in school, the War of Independence wasn't about maintaining any status quo—it was the world's first successful bottom-up revolution by the people, ushering in a new dawn of liberty that history had never seen before. Today, our guest will share with us about where can you go for the true story of the unprecedented events that made the United States the world’s greatest nation.

We continue with part 2 of a fascinating panel discussion that Janet moderated when she traveled to Israel recently.  Join us to hear the stories of three very different people who will tell you what of it is like to follow the Messiah – in the land where Jesus walked.

What happens when someone you love takes their own life? What generally follows is a confusing mix of emotions—anger, guilt, grief, and despair. Suicide raises heartrending questions: Why did this happen? Why didn’t we see it coming? Could we have done anything to prevent it? How can we go on? Many also wonder if those who choose suicide are doomed to an eternity separated from God and their loved ones. Some may even start asking whether life is worth living at all. Today our guest, who knows this tragedy from firsthand experience, will draw on the resources of the Christian faith to point suicide survivors to the God who offers comfort in our grief and hope for the future. Join us as we tackle a subject that has been, for too long, taboo in the Church.

What must it be like to follow Jesus in the Holy Land? It seems paradoxical that in the land where the Messiah walked, it can sometimes be very difficult to be known as a follower of our Savior.  Janet recently moderated a panel discussion in Jerusalem where 3 people, of completely different backgrounds, shared their stories of walking with the Lord. It was a fascinating discussion and you won’t want to miss a moment of today’s conversation!

Join us for a timely and compassionate conversation aimed at helpings moms, dads, and Christians in the pews navigate the challenging landscape of such terms as “transgender,” “gender dysphoria,” “gender fluidity.” From Caitlynn Jenner to Facebook allowing individuals to identify with any number of “gender identities,” this hour is designed to help those who have little to no knowledge about the complicated issue of transgenderism, but who know they can no longer sit on the sidelines as the issue challenges conventional ideas about what it means to be a man or woman throughout society. Come with your questions and learn how to respond biblically to a cultural firestorm.

Today we look at the life of Judas - the experiences he had living with Christ, the things he would have seen and heard, and his terrible final resolve. This hour will challenge our hearts and makes us feel uncomfortable - and leaves us with tears of praise, wondering at the amazing salvation which we have in our Christ.

Today we hear from an Olympic runner who takes us from her first competition as a seven-year-old to the challenges and triumphs of becoming one of the most decorated female athletes in the world. Her story will inspire you to run your best race, knowing that God is by your side.
