In the Market with Janet Parshall

There is a cultural shift taking place in Evangelical churches in America today with a growing antagonism and skepticism toward institutions, particularly the church. What can we learn from the Black Church when we are pushed to the margins of society? How can we benefit from the testimony of other Christians who have long lived on the cultural margins? Join us as we discuss this timely topic. 

The road to recovery following a disaster or humanitarian crisis can be very challenging for the marginalized. What is the role of the church in caring for the vulnerable in times like these?  We discuss how serving one another can lead us close to Jesus. Then, we delve into the life of an amazing woman who influenced literature, education, the abolition movement and the church in an era that did not easily recognize strong single women. Hear how her faith and convictions compelled her to engage in the culture and ultimately transform it. 

Looking for an easy-to-understand step-by-step no-more-excuses guide to sharing Jesus? Then, join in on our conversation today because it’s time for another visit with a man who has been to the depths of life only to be risen up with a passion to share Jesus.  He will teach us how to role play and handle objections with just the right questions.  Come with your questions on how to tell the world the Good News.

The Bible tells us that the poor will ‘always be among us,' yet the question of helping those who struggle the most is a crucial one.

​Suffering is real. But so is hope. Our guests will offer empathy and biblically anchored help for those in pain. They know, because they have been there. If you are hurting, join us to discover how you can find real hope in the midst of darkness.​​

You’re invited to today’s edition of Open Phones.

On Wednesday, we discovered how to find real hope in the midst of darkness. Finally, we learned how to discuss our Christian convictions with others using grace and confidence. How did you react to these topics? Call us and share!

Another week in radio has flown by. Monday, an award winning journalist shared his own struggle to experience God’s grace in his life. Then, we were joined by a consummate novelist who discussed his final book in the Drake novel trilogy.

We also discussed a case where a Pennsylvania High School is discriminating against a pro-life club. Finally, we offered up prayers on behalf of our nation from this year’s National Day of Prayer. Call in and share your response to the events of the week! 

Today we learn how to discuss our Christian convictions with others, using grace and confidence. We will learn how to negotiate those awkward moments when others challenge us with oft-repeated arguments against the Christian beliefs. Join us to hear how to be winsome and truthful when sharing the Good News.

When a school allows clubs on campus that reflect the various interests of the students, should a school disallow a club that holds a worldview different from some of the administrators?  We will tell you about a case in Pennsylvania.  Then, you will hear more prayers offered up from Washington, D.C. during this year’s National Day of Prayer.
