God never wastes anything, even our times of sorrow and grief. But how often do we truly lean on Him at those times? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we heard from a woman who shared her own struggles with a special needs child and the prolonged illness and passing of her first husband and how her journey as a caregiver became the fertile ground for a deeper dependance on God and the way that He demonstrated His ongoing faithfulness in even the darkest and most challenging of times in our lives. A respected pastor and teacher called us to step aside from the holiday bustle to focus on the coming of Jesus as the infant in the manger who would one day become the satisfaction for all of humanity’s sin debt. He talked about why it is humanly impossible to fully comprehend the magnificence of what the eternal God did for us, what it was like for Mary to experience the joy of being chosen to be the human mother of the Savior and other ways that we can find God’s joy at this very important time of the year. What if you could step back in time to see the full panorama of the life of Jesus? Our guest pulled together all the events of the 4 gospels to share the full and history changing life of Jesus Christ, the Anointed One of God. Once again we gave you the opportunity to get biblically sound answers to the spiritual warfare questions that you always wanted answers to. Like never before believers need to be fully engaged with God’s word as their guide for discerning truth from confusion as we encounter the daily challenges presented by the news that continually fills our newspapers, television and social media. That’s why our favorite husband and wife team invite you to come alongside as they teach us how to measure the headlines of the week against God’s straight stick of truth.

How often in the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season do we think about using everybody’s favorite Christmas hymns as opportunities to share the good news of the gospel? On In The Market with Janet Parshall week we spoke to an award winning gospel singer who shared her journey through 40 years of ministry and how she learned the importance of taking advantage of daily moments to reach into the lives of others with the good news of Christ. With a new president and administration taking the lead of our nation we spoke to a staunch advocate for the pre-born about the potential for a plan to defunding the largest abortion provider in the country and this year’s edition of an important watchlist that reveals which charities are not protective of the unborn. Then we helped you extend your prayer lists as we took you behind the headlines as our guest explained how thousands of Christians have become displaced from their homes as a result of the fighting in Syria and we shared 10 great strategic ways to pray for the people of that nation at this very consequential time. Are government institutions and mandates the best way to bring out real change in underserved communities or is there another way? Our guest, who has been on the front lines of civil rights for decades, addressed the power of the local church and community groups to bring about substantial change. The we heard a boots on the ground account of how believers are continuing to persevere in their faith under the Communist oppression in China. Our favorite missionary to the entertainment industry joined us once again to share more stories of God at work in the lives of the most influential group in all of our lives. We then turned our attention to the destructive influx of fentanyl in the country, how it is getting here, the damage it is doing and what can be done, if anything to turn this deadly epidemic around. Even as we draw closer to the holiday season the unrest around our nation and the world does not stop and our need to have a clear understanding of what is and is not going on doesn’t stop either.

This hour we open the phone lines so that you can ask any question you have on the topic of spiritual warfare. Because this subject is often misunderstood, some churches back off from preaching on what the Word says about the “battle in the heavenlies” and so we end up letting the world teach us our theology instead. On today’s broadcast, you can expect to hear clear, concise, and most importantly, biblical answers to questions on this crucial and relevant topic. Call in early because the lines will light up.

“Well done good and faithful servant”. The promise of hearing those words from Jesus have been the goal of the faithful throughout history. But what is required to be a servant that is considered good and faithful in His eyes? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week our guest dug deep into this eternally important topic and explained what it means to add increase to God’s kingdom and the importance of relying on the Word and the Holy Spirit to accomplish all that God has planned for His followers to do. Abortion continues to be a hot button issue in our nation. We spoke to a respected legal expert who helped us understand why pro-life groups in one state are suing the Governor and Attorney General for their forcing insurance coverage to include paying for abortions. The family has never been under attack in the country the way it today. Socialist and feminist have targeted the underpinnings of our society with an unrelenting push toward progressiveness backed by the United Nations. Our guest, an expert on international policy gave us a sharp wake up call on the spread of this dangerous thinking, why the traditional family and family roles is such a threat to their efforts and how it is already harming women and children today. We hit the radio runway as we took another on-air flight down under for another enlightening visit with our favorite Scottish apologist who sounded the alarm on the growing acceptance of euthanasia in the U.K. and why farmers are so upset about a tax on their livelihoods. Our need to have a clear, biblical way to discern the truth from the rhetoric in the marketplace of ideas never stops so we are continue learning how to do just that as Janet and Craig continue showing us how to understand the headlines with a biblically discerning eye.

On In The Market with Janet Parshall week we took you behind the curtain of life in a Communist regime as our guest shared her personal of what it was like to grow up under that oppressive system, to come to Christ under it and then what it took to stand up against it. She shared the amazing story of what God told her to do the day a man came to kill her and how her obedience transformed both of their lives. Her experiences are a timely warning to our America that seems to be embracing Communist thinking with open arms. Once again we opened our phones and gave you the chance to ask those tough and challenging questions related to the bible and the Christian life as one of favorite bible teachers took us back to God’s word to find the answers. As the holiday season approaches, it is a great time to open doors of conversation to share the good news of the gospel with Jewish friends during the Hanukkah festivities. Our guest, a leader in one of the most important messianic Jewish ministries shared wisdom and strategies for opening up those conversations and how to introduce your Jewish friends to their Messiah. Holliday’s are challenging and can create all sorts of stress and anxiety from time issues to family frustrations. We turned to one of our favorite and most respected experts on family matters for some practical guidance for navigating these unplanned for holiday frustrations.
