Operation: Epic Fury is underway and dominating the news. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we helped you understand this latest conflict from a biblical perspective. Our guests, including Tom Doyle, Hormoz Shariat, Lana Silk and Al Fadi, helped us better understand Iran, its people and what is driving the radical Islamic beliefs that have crippled the nation for decades. Our guests explained why the Iranian people around the world are celebrating this military action and why it is creating an open door for the spread of the gospel. Dr. Arnie Cole, the CEO of Back to the Bible shared the results of a study that shows increased bible sales is not adding up to transformed lives and what believers need to do about it. Dr. Mitch Glaser of Chosen People Ministries explained a new survey that shows strong support from evangelicals for the people of Israel, despite what we are hearing in the popular media. Shawn Wicks joined Janet to give answers to false assumptions about the bible that is creating confusion for people who say that this ancient document just can’t stand up to scrutiny and life in our modern world. The need to see the world through a biblical perspective is never more apparent than in times like these where decisive military action is reshaping the lands of biblical history. We encourage you to join us once again as we examine the historic events of this week through the lens of scripture.

Sometimes it can feel like there isn’t as much life in our Christian walk as there used to be. Pastor Jonathan Evans shares how to reignite spiritual passion and recognize that what God is building in your life is bigger than you imagined.

 In this winsome presentation, Dr. Ken Wilgus uses stories from Genesis to convey a fundamental truth: most men want to feel adequate, and most women seek connection. He explains how this difference tends to block clear communication, and offers advice to improve how we express ourselves to our spouse. He points out that marriage can take some work, but that it is the most important relationship aside from our relationship with the Lord. 

Both husbands and wives will learn easy habits that can transform a marriage into a thriving, enjoyable relationship! Guests include Dr. Ken Wilgus, Shaunti Feldhahn, Dr. Greg Smalley, Kathi Lipp, Dan Seaborn, Patricia Ashley, and Jay Payleitner!

Most of us are wired to look for a good deal. We like to exchange something of lesser value for something of greater value. Well, on a spiritual level, Jesus offers us an arrangement that’s too good to refuse. We owed a debt we couldn’t pay, but Jesus stepped in and paid a debt He didn’t owe. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us appreciate the price paid at Calvary. But even more remarkably: after Jesus died for our sins, He rose again.

“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.” - Psalm 127:3

Children are a precious gift from God—an inheritance to cherish and steward well. Along with the joy of welcoming a new baby comes a new layer of responsibility, including financial decisions that can shape your family’s future. A thoughtful checklist can help bring clarity and peace during a season that is both beautiful and demanding.

Here are several key financial steps to consider after bringing a newborn home.

In the midst of sleepless nights and constant diaper changes, don’t forget to update your health insurance. Most plans allow about 30 days after birth to add your baby to your policy.

While reviewing your coverage, confirm that pediatric care, vaccinations, and potential hospital visits are included. The birth of a child qualifies as a life event, meaning you can make necessary adjustments to your plan.

Life insurance is essential for parents—not for the baby, but for you. A common guideline is to carry term life insurance equal to at least 10 times the primary breadwinner’s salary.

Don’t overlook the caregiving spouse either. Replacing the cost of childcare, household management, and daily care would be significant, making coverage for both parents wise and necessary.

A new baby brings new expenses—and often quickly. Consider creating a dedicated “baby” category in your budget to account for diapers, wipes, clothing, feeding supplies, and medical needs.

You may need to shift funds from other areas to stay balanced. Planning now can ease stress later and help you adjust as needs evolve.

A will is not just about distributing assets—it’s where you designate a guardian for your child. While this can feel like a difficult decision, having a plan in place is essential.

After prayerful consideration, choose someone who would care for your child with wisdom and love. You can always revise your decision later. A clear will can also prevent confusion or conflict and ensure your assets pass according to your wishes.

As Proverbs 13:22 reminds us, “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.” That inheritance includes not only finances but also a legacy of faith and stewardship.

If you don’t already have an emergency fund, aim to save three to six months of living expenses. If you had one before your baby arrived, you may need to increase it to reflect higher monthly costs.

Unexpected medical bills, job changes, or major purchases—such as strollers or childcare—can quickly strain finances. A strong emergency fund provides stability during uncertain moments.

With a new child, you can claim an additional dependent on your tax return, which may qualify you for a child tax credit of up to $2,200 per child.

You’ll also want to update your W-4 at work so your withholding reflects your new household size. This may increase your take-home pay throughout the year.

Starting early can make a significant difference. A 529 plan allows tax-free investment growth for qualified education expenses, including private K–12 schooling, vocational training, and college.

You can open a plan in any state, and family members or friends can contribute to it. New options like the Trump Accounts opening up in July of 2026—are government-seeded investment accounts designed to support future education, business startup costs, or homeownership—are also expanding the ways families can plan ahead.

Finally, consider placing a credit freeze on y

What does living like a Christian really mean? How do the day-to-day, rubber meets the road, "what am I supposed to do now?" questions get answered when circumstances leave an honest person really struggling? Chip shares that God has a dream for you - yes, you - and as incredible as that idea sounds, Chip explains what that means.

5 Key Relationships:

1. Relationship with God: SURRENDERED to God -Romans 12:1
2. Relationship with the world: SEPARATE from the World -Romans 12:2
3. Relationship with yourself: SOBER in Self-Assessment -Romans 12:3-8
4. Relationship with believers: SERVING in Love -Romans 12:9-13
5. Relationship with nonbelievers: SUPERNATURALLY Responding to Evil with Good -Romans 12:14-21

Warning – Romans 12 is not a “try-hard” moral code to live up to, but a faith response to what God has already done for us.

• Romans 1-3: SIN - Our problem that separates us from God.
• Romans 4-5: SALVATION - God’s solution in the work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
• Romans 6-8: SANCTIFICATION - Living your new life in God’s power and growing progressively in Christ-likeness.
• Romans 9-11: SACRIFICE - Living in confidence because God is in control and keeps all His promises…
