In the Market with Janet Parshall

What we expect from our future has tremendous power over our experience in the meantime―that’s why the Bible places the hope of heaven at the center of the Christian life. But even if we affirm the reality of our heavenly future, we often struggle to long for heaven, much less to connect the promises of the world to come to the concrete details of life in this world as it is. If and when we think about heaven at all, it’s easy to think of it like an insurance policy that will be there when we need it. But the Bible defines our future hope as an inheritance - a trust fund that is certain, inexhaustible, and freely accessible here and now. Our guest, Matthew McCullough, will offer a series of meditations that model how to draw on the hope of heaven for everyday life in the meantime.

We start this hour by looking at some stories making headlines before we turn our hearts toward Hollywood and learn how to pray for the entertainment industry by seeing Tinseltown as Ninevah rather than Sodom and Gomorrah. We then look East and hear some powerful stories coming from Palestinian Christians who are turning to Jesus in times of conflict, and learn why some Orthodox Jews are reaching out to a Christian ministry. Get out your prayer list because it’s sure to be lengthened after today’s broadcast.

For far too long, homosexual activists have tried to twist Scripture to make it look as though the Bible supports same-sex attraction. Joe Dallas will join us to discuss another book recently released that tries, yet again, to make it look like God’s love knows no bounds – and therefore, there really is no need for repentance from sin. Using the ‘straight stick of God’s truth’ as our metric, we will examine some twisted ideas being ‘sold’ in the marketplace of ideas.

Many scientists and doctors believe that there is no such thing as the soul. That there is no part of us that persists beyond death. We are not spiritual in any respect. We are made up of cells and tissue, and completely controlled by a material organ in our heads: the brain. Our guest, Dr. Michael Egnor, will make the case, based on 40 years of practice and over 7,000 brain surgeries, that science has gotten it all wrong. Dr. Egnor will present evidence that the brain alone does not explain the mind.

Ann Wilson spent more than a decade longing for a better marriage and for her husband to be more attentive, more involved, more helpful, and just all-around better. And every chance she got, she told him so. Where she thought she was being helpful, she was instead badgering him with constant critiques until all he heard was, "Boo! Boo!" when they were together. It almost broke their marriage. But Ann discovered the power that God has given wives. No matter how long you've been married, you don't need to spend another minute hoping and wishing for things to be different. They can! And the power is in your hands.

John 15:13 says that there is no greater love than to lay down your own life for the life of a friend. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we gave you an opportunity to hear a powerful story of one man who lived this very verse when he rescued a friend and interpreter from the coming of the Taliban in Afghanistan when the U.S. pulled its forces out in 2021. He explained how that singular act turned into mission to rescue hundreds of others from the terrorists. We shared with you the firsthand account of man who found himself in the national spotlight and the subject of much ridicule because he refused to bake a cake for a same sex couple. His account of the ups and downs of this journey leading all the way to the highest court in the land is an example to us all of what it means to live out your faith boldly despite criticism and mockery in the marketplace of ideas. Unexpectedly in the last few years we have seen a greater acceptance of Socialism and its ideas across our nation and along with that acceptance has come a rewriting of history that says that Jesus was in favor of socialist ideas such as redistribution of wealth and welfare states. Our guest addressed this fallacy and how it is being used to lure young people into rejection of our capitalist society in favor of one that adheres to socialist ideas without exposing them to the dangerous negatives inherent in this philosophy. No marriage is without challenges, including Christian ones. But how those challenges are handled can be drastically different for believing couples. Our guest used her marriage to teach us 7 essential beliefs that can help a marriage thrive and survive while building a stronger love with its foundation buried deep in willingness to let God heal the marriage. Once again, our favorite husband and wife team invite you for another exploration of the news of the week through the lens of scripture.

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we honored the men and women who serve in the armed forces by hearing from a husband and wife who endured the challenges of a soldier coming home from battle with the scars of war and how faith and love brought healing and restoration to their lives and marriage. Their story reminded us that even with the deepest wounds there is healing when we entrust our lives to the loving hands of God. Although there is a historical separation in time between the events of the Old and New Testaments our guest explained how explained the links between both part of the book as God’s whole revelation of Himself to the world. He explained how as far back as Genesis God has revealed His plan of salvation through His promised Son coming and becoming the sacrifice that provided salvation to mankind. Since Covid 19 how we work in the modern world has definitely changed, but our need to work and be successful not only in the doing but in honoring God and using the talents and skills He has given us, has not changed. Our guest laid out some strategies to help us discover what our spiritual gifts are and how to implement them as part of our work to create purpose and success in our professional lives. Why do believers have a fear of sharing the gospel message with those who need to hear it most? Our guest helped us better understand those fears and why this message of hope is so often rejected by non-believers and how to live our lives as living examples of His message of hope. It is time to dig deep into the headlines of the week as we hold to account more of the messages being bought and sold in the marketplace of ideas.

Socialism is making a comeback-and so is the idea that "Jesus was a socialist."

Why not just make the cake? That’s a question countless people across the country started asking in 2012, Jack Phillips told two men who walked into his Masterpiece Cakeshop that he couldn’t create a custom cake for their same-sex wedding. And the question only grew more urgent as he had to defend himself first before the Colorado Civil Rights Commission and then numerous courts—losing at every step of the way until the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in his favor in June 2018. But for Jack, there are deeper principles at stake—principles too precious to abandon for the sake of convenience and safety. These principles should be of concern to every American, including our guest’s adversaries. If the freedoms he has sought to protect are lost, they may never be regained.

More than once, Aziz saved his life. And then he needed someone to save him.

How did the New Testament come to be? The ancient writings that comprise the New Testament are critical for understanding the life, teachings, and impact of Jesus of Nazareth, all of which are central to Christianity. But how were these texts circulated, collected, and given their canonical status? Is the New Testament a trustworthy source for learning about Jesus and the early church? New Testament scholar Charles L. Quarles will join us to address the most pressing questions regarding the study of New Testament texts, their transmission, and their collection into the canon.
