In the Market with Janet Parshall

What is the differences between Christianity and other religions?  Hinduism, Taoism, New Age, Sikhism, Confucianism, Shinto, and Buddhism as well as other pagan-based systems like Witchcraft, Voodoo, and Greek mythology different from Christianity? Today we look at their origins and basic tenets as well as why they fall so short. Understanding the basic tenets of these religions helps Christians see the flaws in these philosophies and discern how to be an effective witness for Jesus Christ, refuting their ideas and using biblical authority as the st​​​andard for truth. Join us for a lively Q & A on this hour of In The Market.

Some believe that too many Christians have grown bored and frustrated with just 'believing' in Jesus. They have settled for salvation someday, not realizing they can experience a fuller life today. Learn today why following Jesus was never the easiest choice, but it is always the best choice. ​​

Then, are you ready to lengthen your prayer list? It's time for an update on what is happening with the Persecuted Church.

​It'​s one thing to read a spy novel or watch a spy movie, but it is quite another thing to hear from a former KGB undercover agent.  Hang on to your hats as we hear the story of a man who went deep undercover as a secret agent and came out a redeemed and free man.

No history is so disputed as the history of Israel.  Some see Israel's creation as a dramatic act of justice for the Jewish people.  Others insist that it was a crime against Palestine's Arabs.  Join us as we untangle the facts from the myths to reveal the truth about the Arab-Israeli conflict. ​

Before we open the phones lines and hear your thoughts on the news, we look back at the great conversations we have had this week.  We started by hearing from the daughter of an infamous cult leader who shared her harrowing tale of escape.  We discussed doctrinal confusion, reported on a terrorist attack in London, heard from a woman who is challenging the head of Planned Parenthood and listened to the heart of a Christian music legend.  Now, get ready to join us as we wrap up the week with more news analysis and comment.

What a week!  We began on Monday by visiting with one of the most beloved Christian music groups. We took your questions as we debated whether science and religion can co-exist.  We then heard a fascinating review of the history of Israel and learned of a stunningly beautiful new audio Bible.  Now, get ready to jump in and join the conversation as we wrap up the week that was.

By leveraging the promise she made to the founder of NARAL, our guest debunks the feminists' false narrative on "women's reproductive rights."

It's been said that some Christ-followers walk away from their faith when attending a secular college.  Today we introduce you to a global movement that equips university students and faculty to give historical, philosophical and scientific reasons for following Jesus Christ.  Then you will hear about a remarkably vivid listening experience that will transport you into the world of the Bible.  And – you will hear the actor who plays "the Voice of God!"​
