In the Market with Janet Parshall

You’re invited to today’s edition of Open Phones. We started the week with the question ‘Do Jews need Jesus?’ addressing common misconceptions that exist in today’s culture. Then, we had a timely conversation on whether or not Christians are intolerant and homophobic from a Biblical perspective. On Wednesday we discussed how some Churches are focusing less on Jewish evangelism which has created a difficult conundrum for Messianic believers. Finally, we wrapped up the week taking an in depth look at some key First Amendment cases facing our nation today. How did you react? Call us and share!

We think that if we wait long enough, traumatic events and thoughts will fade away naturally – but time doesn't heal all wounds! Today we will learn six simple S.A.N.I.T.Y. steps to help us replace painful memories with biblical hope, release suffocating secrets to give room for new relationships to grow, and to find peace amidst the emotional chaos we might be experiencing.

It’s that time again when our two highly qualified lawyers take an in depth look at some key First Amendment cases faces our nation today.  Join us for an hour of conversation designed to make you think – and join us with your thoughts!​

Since the first days of the early church, the Jewish people have been much of the focus of evangelism. History bears out the fact that the Church has long had a special place in its heart for Israel. But questions are being raised today about whether or not Jewish evangelism is still part of the ‘mission statement’ for the Church.  Join us as we discuss a recent global conference that addressed this pressing issue.

Should America outlaw the barbaric act of mutilating young girls? One state is working on legislation to levy penalties against parents who subject their children to this horrific procedure. We tackle this subject along with news about yet another move toward implementing euthanasia in Belgium. Then, we all find ourselves in moments of adversity and hardship from time to time. When you do, will you have the resiliency to overcome those times or, when you falter, will you have what it takes to bounce back? Learn how to ‘battle’ when the war intensifies.

In the Middle East, the birthplace of Christianity, Christians and other minorities are being violently persecuted, driven out of their homes, and killed. Their places of worship are being destroyed, and their history is being erased. The Vice-President said at a summit in Washington, D.C. last week that what is happening to persecuted Christians is tantamount to genocide. What can we learn from these faith-filled brothers and sisters around the world? How can we pray for them? And what do their remarkable stories teach us about a God whose light shines in a dark world? Join us to hear an update on the persecuted Church and to learn about a powerful new documentary that highlights the plight of these believers.

Are Christians intolerant? Are they homophobic? Is gay sex a sin? How do we, as followers of Christ, answers these questions in a post-truth world? What does the Bible say and how should we say what the Bible says on this thorny topic?  Join us for a timely, compassionate and truthful conversation about one of the biggest issues in the culture today.

Do Jews need Jesus? It's an age-old debate with eternal ramifications. If Jesus is not the Jewish Messiah, if He is not the savior of the world, if He is not the promised redeemer God sent to restore Israel and redeem the nations (Isaiah 49:6), then bringing His message to the Jewish people is a grave threat to their security. Join us as our guest teaches us that believing in Jesus isn't apostasy; it's obedience, and it leads to eternal blessing.

The modern state of Israel has been a nation for almost 70 years. When she was formed and fought her early wars of existence, most Bible-believing Christians believed there was a real connection with what was going on in the Middle East and Bible prophecy that predicts an end-time return of the Jews to their land. While support for Israel remains high in most evangelical communities, we are seeing the beginning of a decline, especially among younger evangelicals, who question whether modern Israel really relates to end-time Bible prophecy. Join us as we learn why we must support the nation of Israel.

What's America's role in the end times? Will the church escape the tribulation? Who will enter Christ's kingdom? Join us as one of our favorite guests addresses Armageddon, the rapture, the antichrist, and more to help you understand how biblical prophecy can influence your life now—and in eternity.
