Since we all know that “nobody is perfect” why do so many of us strive so hard to be so? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we addressed the drive for perfection even in the good things of God and how to lean into His grace instead being bound by rules and systems that debilitate our lives and prevent us from living lives that line up with His plans for us. Have you ever felt like your spiritual armor is sitting in a pile at your feet and you don’t have the slightest clue what to do with it? If so, you are not alone! Our expert on spiritual warfare taught us not only how to put that armor on but how to walk victoriously in it by sharing God’s wisdom and his own experience standing in Christ’s victory while confronting the dark forces of the supernatural world. When we struggle with anxiety or other issues our first thought is often to find a way to get rid of it. Sometimes we even question God’s love and power for not taking this challenge out of our lives. But is it possible that anxiety and pain in life could have a higher, God designed purpose for us? We shared the insights of a teacher who took us deep into the Scriptures to help us understand that God has a purpose in all things, even our anxiety and pain. He helped us reframe our understanding so that we can discover a greater, deeper bond with the Lord who loves us. The Christian faith is under attack like it has never been before and believers are often always on the defensive struggling to answer the pointed and often painful questions of skeptics and accusers. We turned to a respected bible teacher who used his own story of confusion and skepticism and the lessons he learned, as template to guide us as we navigate these perilous waters in our lives and relationships. How do parents help their kids navigate days and times that they themselves never imagined and faced? Join Janet and Craig as they teach parents and all of us how to examine the wares being sold in today’s marketplace of ideas against God’s unbending, eternally reliable straight stick of truth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The most dangerous personality type can leave a damaging and long lasting impact on the lives of those closest to them. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we once again opened up our phone lines and allowed our expert to offer her unique combination of professional advice and biblical clarity to help navigate this most challenging family dynamic. Ideas morph and grow over time, even bad ones. We heard from a legal expert who explained that despite the ample historical evidence of its failure, Marxism is sadly still alive and well. He explained how it has changed over time and how the halls of higher education were turned into indoctrination laboratories. He also explained how the new generation of Marxist are turning sex warfare, class and gender into their rallying cries to deceive people into buying into the Marxist philosophy and the danger facing our nation if we don’t cut out this deadly infection. Idolatry is not an idea trapped in ancient history. Although we may not bow down before giant statutes we often bow our hearts before ideas and concepts that can damage us and pull our affections away from the God who loves us. We offered practical guidance on recognizing the idols in our lives and how to turn back to the eternal lover of our souls. The push for renewable energy never sounds like a bad idea. But as our experts explained behind those blazing neon lights the science does not add up. They explained how the drive by some to solely rely on solar, wind and other renewable energy sources is and will continue to damage our nation and our world and why we must not abandon the proven resources that we have relied on for generations like fossil fuels, hydro-electricity and nuclear energy. Class is in session as once again our favorite husband and wife teachers show us how to use God’s word and wisdom to observe, understand and address some of the biggest news events of the past week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Years after becoming a Christian, our guest became haunted by difficult questions---Why does God allow evil in the world? Why are there so many scandals in the church?

The attempted cures for climate change are generally worse than the disease—especially for the poor. Demands to transform the global energy infrastructure to depend heavily on wind, solar, and other renewables are harmful to people in America and the world–especially to the poor. Meanwhile, continued large-scale use of traditional energy sources like nuclear, hydro, and fossil fuels would reduce poverty while doing less harm to the environment. Join us as our guests combine outstanding climate science, physics, economics, environmental science, political science, ethics, and theology to present a well-reasoned understanding of human-induced climate change and how to respond to it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If God is all-powerful, why doesn’t he eliminate our anxiety? Instead of asking this, perhaps we should ask why God is allowing it in the first place. Our guest today takes us on a journey through Scripture and shares his discovery of God’s ultimate purpose in pain. Our anxiety, fear, stress, and panic are not the end of us—but facing them could be the start of something great!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many Americans believe that the United States is in decline. They see a country that has become unrecognizable: where individuals are reduced to their race, ethnicity, or sexual identity; where children are indoctrinated into radical ideologies; and where anti-Semitism has become widespread. Join us to learn how all of these ills are rooted in Marxism. To be sure, it is not Soviet Marxism, but a Marxism that was shaped by European intellectuals, adapted and refined by America’s student radicals of the 1960s, and diffused throughout the culture as those student radicals became professors, community organizers, and leaders. The end goal of these NextGen Marxists is expropriation, redistribution, central planning, and collectivism. They are working toward nothing less than the cultural transformation of the United States—and they have partially succeeded.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East that fills the evening news is not stopping God and his people from sharing the hope of the Gospel in that part of the world. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we once again heard from a friend of the program who has been called to serve the people in Iran. He shared more stories of God at work bringing thousands to salvation despite the turmoil in the region. We also talked to another friend of the program who was in Israel at the time of the Iranian attacks and shared his experience along with how the war is continuing to create an open door for more of the people there to coming to the saving knowledge of their Messiah. Hell is no easy topic to discuss. It is often ignored or turned into a punchline by many people because they do not want to consider the possibility that what the Bible says could really be real. A beloved and respected evangelist joined Janet this week to discuss the sobering reality of Hell by taking us back to God’s word to see what He says about this place of eternal punishment. But he also helped us see that understanding the truth about Hell is essential for opening people’s eyes to the need for a Savior. Our favorite Scottish apologist joined showed us how using God’s word to answer important life questions can help us draw closer and deeper in our relationship with Him. In the shifting currents of the time we live in there needs to be an unmovable anchor that keeps our lives from crashing on the rocks. We heard from a man who examined the current attacks on Christianity and how the unmovable truth of God’s word has and will always be the defense against of such attacks. It’s time to turn our attention to the news of the week as we dig deeper into the headlines and examine them against God’s straight stick of truth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week Janet was joined by her daughter as they took a deep dive into a crucial report out of the United Kingdom that stands up against the popular medical advice to give puberty blockers to children who are struggling with issues of identity. It calls for treatment of their mental challenges instead of causing irreversible lifelong damage. We took a closer look at some legal cases that could impact the lives of believers in significant ways including the firing of Christian metal worker and a case out of Tennessee that could open the door to pro-life supporters get long prison sentences for standing up for the pre-born. The Gospel is not just about salvation it is also about living out the qualities of Christ. Our guest shared stories of how the lives of women and children have been changed by those who live out the love of Jesus through their demonstrations of charity and biblical justice. How do you stand firm in a world that is increasingly hostile to sound biblical truth? We heard from a teacher and apologist how to not only start eternally important conversation but how to also share our beliefs confidently and engage in winsome but effective discussions with others. The news never rests and neither does our need to examine it closely and clearly. Join us as our favorite husband and wife team continue to teach us how to be good watchers on the wall for our families and our nation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
