Prayer is an indispensable part of the believer’s life but is so often one of the most confusing parts as well. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we turned to a trusted friend and highly regarded bible teacher to clear up that confusion. He tackled topics like what prayer is and is not, why it is so vital to the life of the Christian and whether or not prayer can actually change the mind and plans of God. For many it is easier to believe that man is a machine with no soul controlled by the organ of the brain. But a highly respected neurosurgeon begs to differ. We shared the insights of this former non-believer who shared the highly personal story of how God reached into his life and made Himself known. Then relying on his more than 40 yeas of practice in the field of brain medicine, he explained why science has it wrong and that the soul is real and why the brain alone can not explain the existence of the mind. The homosexual agenda is coming for the heart of the of the Christian faith by bending the holy word of God to fit its ideas. We talked to former gay man who has spent his life drawing others in that lifestyle to the hope of Christ. He addressed the efforts of a new book to view the Bible, the people in it and Jesus Himself through the lens of queer acceptance. Our guest grounded us firmly in the truth of scripture to expose the fallacies and misguided teachings of those are pushing this agenda. We visited with our favorite missionary to the entertainment industry to hear more stories of how God is moving and working in the lives of these creative people. Then we talked to one of our favorite friends who shared more stories of Jesus changing the lives of people in the Middle East including Palestinians and Orthodox Jews who are turning to the Savior. As we wind down another week, we invite you back into our radio classroom as your favorite teaching duo continue their lessons on how to use the Bible as a measuring rod against the confusing and often downright lies that permeate the news today.

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we tackled a subject that can cripple a life and a faith walk: anxiety. We spoke to a father and son team who educated us what exactly anxiety is and is not, why it is different than worry and how to use God’s word as a healing antidote to anxiety. Much like anxiety, depression can also take us down for the count. Once again, we turned to a friend of the program and a highly family therapist to address this important topic head on. She gave us a better understanding of what depression is and she addressed the need for the church to continue to show sensitivity to those who struggle with mental challenges allowing them to find love, understating and acceptance within the family of God. Once again, we visited with a highly respected evangelist and friend of the program who talked about some of the most common types of resistance that he encounters when sharing the good news and how to navigate them. He also gave us some important insights into how to share the gospel message with family members. In the push and pull of life it is so easy for believers to be so earth focused that we forget the greatest promise of God to His children, a life beyond this veil of tears in Heaven with Him forever. Our guest explained why God has placed the hope of Heaven at the center of the Christian faith. Through a series of biblical meditations he helped a gain a greater appreciation of this great inheritance while we trod the soil of the here and now. Perhaps never before has there been such a need for God’s people to use their discernment when reading the news. We invite you to sharpen those skills as our favorite husband and wife team dig deep to find the story behind the stories as they examine more headlines of the week against God’s straight stick of truth.

Scripture reminds us all that nothing shifts our perspective on life quite like facing the reality of death. On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy shares that how we live affects how we die. And how we die affects our eternity!

The world called them fools—but in fearing God, they found a wisdom worth dying for.
