In the Market with Janet Parshall

For some of us, resting seems like a waste of time—it means we're missing out on other things. For others, rest seems like a luxury—there's simply too much to do. And for almost all of us, we crave rest, but don't always know how to. In truth, there are huge spiritual, emotional and physical rewards of rest. Join us today to discover how rest fuels our joy and confidence in God's sovereignty as we learn to depend on Him, and not our own efforts, and are refreshed by the power of the Holy Spirit. The world never stops. But we need to. And as Christians we can by having faith to hit pause and experience the rich rewards of God-given rest.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Christians, when we take a stand for our faith, we want to avoid coming across as overly combative or adversarial. While it’s important to be uncompromising when we communicate the truth, Scripture also calls us to speak the truth with love. Join us today to learn how to establish caring and compassionate relationships with those whom you desire to reach for Christ. Even in the face of deep differences, we can learn how to grow in our confidence to engage others effectively with the love of Jesus and the Truth of Scripture.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Traumatic experiences happen to nearly everyone, at some time, in some form. The aftereffects--depression, anxiety, addiction, panic attacks, insomnia, and more--can affect us for years or even a lifetime. But the brokenness following a traumatic event is never a life sentence. We are all changed by trauma, but we do not have to be defined by it.Drawing on cutting-edge research, our guest will teach us how to find relief and hope once and for all. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, he will discuss the whole-person treatment approach that recognizes you as a unique constellation of emotional, physical, intellectual, relational, and spiritual dimensions.

For both the believer and the non-believer the eternal weight of Heaven and Hell is only a hair’s breath away. But how often do we really think about their reality in the hustle and bustle of our busy lives here on earth? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we invited you to sit down across the radio table with one of our favorite bible teachers and defenders of the faith as he opened God’s word to address the eternal gift God has offered mankind and why the consequences of rejecting that gift are so severe and permanent. There is no escaping Madison Avenue’s views on how we should look and live but how do those ideas square against God’s design for our lives? We shared with you practical wisdom on taking care of our physical well beings without becoming trapped by worldly standards that ignore or pervert God’s designs for our lives. What would you do if your child was forced to participate in a religious ceremony venerating false deities in their public school? That is a challenge some Chicago parents have faced. We introduced you to a legal expert who explained the legal and spiritual ramifications of that incident and how it could have wide ranging impact on believers and their children across the nation. Once again you kept our phone lines busy as one of our favorite bible teachers joined us to tackle some of your hardest and most thought provoking questions related to the Bible and the Christian life. Watchmen on the wall are needed now more than ever before as our nation and world continues to slide downward all around us.

Disagreements can become divisions very quickly in the modern world. How do we walk the tightrope of truth without alienating the very ones we are trying to reach? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we took a look at the so-called “cancel culture” mentality of today and our guest shared some practical guidance on how to see our own blind spots when it comes to engaging others as well as how to speak truth in winsome and effective ways. From Pastor to Congressman our guest shared his personal journey and gave a dire reminder of the importance of the ballot box when it comes to preserving the hard fought liberties that we too often take for granted in the United States. How do believers stand on truth against the seemingly logical and impenetrable arguments of atheists and other skeptics? We heard from one of our favorite apologist who used his training as a lawyer to teach us how to recognize and address some of their biggest arguments and how to respond with God’s unchanging truth. The rancor of partisan politics can often be a deterrent to getting involved in the political matters affecting our nation. But even through all that noise God is still in control and He has a role for his people to play in governmental affairs. Our guest took us back to scripture to clear up the confusion and give us clear, biblical guidance on what good government looks like and the role God has called His people to play in it. Mounting tensions around the world keep the news cycle humming on a daily basis. But thanks to the clear guidance of our favorite husband and wife team, we continue to learn how dissect and find the truth in top headlines of the week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every day we are exposed to messages about health, food, exercise and looking good. It's hard not to get swept along with it all; in fact, it’s easy to end up caring too much about these things and even to feel trapped trying to live up to the ideals that we see in the media. Today, our guest will point you to the Bible to find freedom! The Bible tells us that our physical selves do matter. But it also invites us to think about our bodies in a God-centered way—helping us to reset and find a balanced approach that is grounded in our faith. Join us to discover how to love the body God gave you and to explore his priorities for the ways in which you live, eat and exercise.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If the voice of the people is lost at the ballot box, our Republic will be lost as well. Integrity must rule the day and surpass partisan strategies and yearnings.

By highlighting his personal history, from his humble beginnings to becoming an influential member of Congress, our guest will candidly relate his experiences and deal with the topic of election integrity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We all wonder what comes after death. Our guest, a biblical apologist, will join us to share what the Scriptures say about Heaven and Hell.

In Hell, there is eternal punishment and separation from the One who offered us eternal life in Him. Join us to set your mind on the things above!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Differences of opinion have always been part of life. For decades, spouses, family members, co-workers, and neighbors have had spirited conversations about politics, social issues, religion, current events, and even sports. But what was different in the past is that these disagreements wouldn’t sever ties between family and friends. Our guest believes Christians are called to be God’s ambassadors, which necessarily entails the need to listen to those around us—especially people with diverse and different perspectives. Yes, we live in cancel culture. But that doesn’t mean that we as Christians need to conform to our world. Instead, we can be a beacon of sanity that promotes meaningful conversations around what matters most in this life—and the next.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
