On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week celebrated along with one of our favorite guest 24 years of the Hollywood Prayer Network powerful outreach in the world of entertainment and how God continues to use this ministry to impact the lives of artists and other creatives in the movie, television and music industries with His message of eternal hope.  We also shared the life journey of a man who started what can arguably be considered the most popular crafting store in America. He shared how his parents’ faith and commitment to living a life ever mindful of eternity shaped his own life journey and the mission and motivations of his business. As the tide of antisemitism in our country and abroad continues to spread, we turned to a highly respected expert on the Jewish people and the past and prophetic history to come, for a biblically based look at what we are seeing today. He addressed the upcoming U.N. conference where several countries have stated they will call for a Palestinian state. He also spoke about the ongoing efforts by Israel, despite what many news outlets are saying, to get necessary aid to Gaza and its desire to help Iran with its ongoing drought. Don’t believe the propaganda! That’s the message from our national security expert to all of us as he addressed rumors that China’s dictating leader, President XI, has plans to step down. He also discussed how the C.I.A. website was hacked and just how far behind we are in nuclear weapons stockpiles compared to China who has made it abundantly clear that it plans to attack and take over Taiwan in the very near future with an ultimate eye toward world domination. In 1925 one of the most famous trials took place in America. The Scopes Trial (or as it is more commonly referred to “The Scopes “Monkey” Trial) was a landmark event that pitted proponents of evolution against those who believed the bible’s creation account in a battle for the educational soul of our nation. Our guest took us back in time to this pivotal event to explain why this event was so important and why we are still talking about and living out the impact of this trial even today.  We may be winding down the work week but that doesn’t mean that we can take a break from being informed watchmen on the wall. So, we invite you to another deep dive behind the headlines of the week as scrutinized through the lens of scripture.

On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy reveals a biblical pattern for physical healing in a practical study from the book of James.
