In the Market with Janet Parshall

In a world devastated by the cataclysm of war, two extraordinary authors and friends, J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis, delivered a bracing vision of the human story: a path back to goodness, beauty, and faith. How did they do it? For the first time, historian Joseph Loconte explains how the catastrophe of World War II trans­formed the lives and literary imagination of Tolkien and Lewis. The mechanized slaughter of the First World War had created a storm of disillusionment with the political and religious ideals of Western civilization. The new ideologies of Modernism, communism, Nazism, and totalitarianism rushed to fill the vacuum. At stake was a contest between civilization and barbarism. Tolkien and Lewis sought each other out in friendship and threw themselves into the struggle.

A movement seeks to redefine Christianity. Some think that it is a much-needed progressive reformation. Others believe that it is an attack on historic Christianity. Alisa Childers never thought she would question her Christian faith. She was raised in a Christian home, where she had seen her mom and dad feed the hungry, clothe the homeless, and love the outcast. She had witnessed God at work and then had dedicated her own life to leading worship, as part of the popular Christian band ZOEgirl. All that was deeply challenged when she met a progressive pastor, who called himself a hopeful agnostic. Alisa will join us to describe the intellectual journey Alisa took over several years as she wrestled with a series of questions that struck at the core of the Christian faith.

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we looked back at the “No Kings” marches that took place across the nation. Janet and Craig shared their observations and biblically grounded insights into this national event and who and what was the driving force behind it. Depression has become a popular topic of discussion on podcasts and programs in our society. But have you ever heard of spiritual depression? We spoke to a pastor who defined spiritual depression and what causes it. He also shared with us the 5 steps to developing a spiritually healthy life. A man who was raised in a traditional Jewish home shared the powerful story of how he came to Christ through the love and witness of his Christian girlfriend. Why is the family under attack today? How can parents protect their children from the dangerous social doctrines that are permeating our schools today? She joined us to call believers to defend our families during these concerted attacks at the foundation of our society. How do you see clearly through the fog of the confusing half-truth, deceptions and straying ideas we hear in our news daily. We do it by using the Bible as the straight stick of truth and measuring all ideas that come our way against it. Join us for another instructive session on how you can apply God’s word to every circumstance and situation you encounter along your faith journey.

The news never stops and neither does our need to weigh it against the clear and unbiased scale of scripture. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we told you about efforts to prevent Islamic sharia law from taking root in this country like it has in the U.K. Also in the U.K., we told you about a new law that send Christian preachers to prison for 2 years and how free speech is being cut off in Canada. Progressive Christianity continues to deceptively mislead believers away from biblical truth. We spoke with a highly respected apologist who shared her own personal story of escaping that confusion herself and learned how this modern teaching replaces sin and redemption with the teaching of social justice and why believers need to have a deeper view of God’s word and an elevated view of God. Once again, we turned to a friend of the program and a highly respect bible teacher as we tackled your most challenging questions related to the bible and how to live out your Christian life. The host of a popular radio show focused on the bible and the Holy Land has taken that experience and put into book form to help other believers deepen their faith by experience the land that Jesus and the people of scripture walked. He shared the powerful transformative experience that seeing these places and relating them to their scriptural passages, even from a distance, can help you grow in your faith. Our radio classroom is back in session, and we invite you to join our husband-and-wife teaching team as they continue to guide us in using God’s word as a measuring stick against the confusion on sale in the marketplace of ideas.

Spiritual depression is defined as the prolonged and pervasive numbing, muting, suppressing, or restraining of the joy of the Lord within the life of the Christian. And more and more Christians are besieged with it. Experiencing feelings of doubt, anxiety, or despair can become the norm of our daily lives. Despite our struggles, the Bible gives us numerous exhortations to battle our downcast condition. But how? Sometimes it feels hopeless, as if nothing can pull us from the mire.

Many believers know that “God is love.” But whether through cultural lies, false beliefs, or years of mulling over the tragedies of the world, it may be difficult to see the true, steadfast, and unchanging love of the Father. Thankfully, the Bible offers a clear picture of what God’s love looks like and how, through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, believers experience His affection for themselves. Pastor and theologian Dr. Sam Storms will address what God’s love is and what it isn’t. Join us as Dr. Storms breaks down obstacles that prevent believers from accepting biblical truths and challenges the cultural lies that hinder them from accepting God’s vast and unfathomable love.

Trust makes everything better. It's the glue that binds people together. From families, friendships, companies and communities, we know that trust is the fuel that drives long-term success and impact. But we also know what betrayal feels like. We know that trust is a fragile, vulnerable gift that can be abused, broken, and exploited with devastating consequences. Mac Richard challenges conventional wisdom with biblical insights, humor, and passion as he explains how to process the pain of betrayal, discern who to trust and deploy trust even in the harshest environments. Come with your questions - and learn to trust again. Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partners See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can we really believe what some experts say when they claim that the ever-encroaching acceptance and use of artificial intelligence is value neutral? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we had a frank discussion with a highly respected expert in the tech arena who explained why this technology is not value neutral, how AI and its precursor social media were purposely designed to become addictive and how their use can lead to a distant relationship with God. Despite the popular ideas in the media our guest, a former follower of Islam warned us about the foundational truth of Islam and how its theologically political beliefs are advanced either by word of mouth or the edge of the sword. He shared his own journey from Islam to Christ and how we can engage our Muslim neighbors with the eternal truth of salvation. A few years ago we all heard about critical race theory but many people were not aware that it was just a new variation of critical theory which found it origins in academia and spread like a virus through society. Our guest took us back in time to explain its origins and how believers can bring the life-giving truth of God to bear against this powerful deception. Once again, we invited you to ask your questions about narcissism. Our guest, an expert in this field, used her training, personal experience and biblical insight to help our listeners navigate the multi-faceted challenges of living with this most dangerous personality type. As we close out the week our husband and wife team invite you to another examination of the headlines of the week through the lens of scripture.

As Christians, we play into the hand of Satan and his demonic host when we approach demonic warfare as a theoretical game or curiosity rather than a life-threatening conspiracy from the pit of hell. While we try to see how "normal" we can still appear to other Christians and our non-Christian colleagues and neighbors, demonic accusers relentlessly and ruthlessly plot our distraction and destruction. Dr. Karl Payne will join us to focus on clarifying and explaining the "how to's" for recognizing and resolving attacks from the world, the flesh, and the devil. Join us as we open the phones to take your questions on this crucial topic.
