Hour 1: Eyes To See

In the Market with Janet Parshall

How do you as a parent navigate the challenges of having your adult child back under your roof? On In The Market with Janet Parshall week we took a look at the issues surrounding why today’s adult children are reluctant to leave or finding their way back under their parent’s roof, how depression plays a role in this resistance to traditional independence and why prayer and good communication are vital to navigating this dramatic change in your relationship. In 1938 one radio broadcast sent waves of terror across the nation and its impact in the days that followed revealed something very important about us as a nation and changed broadcasting forever. Orson Welle’s The War of the Worlds program was that broadcast. Janet sat down with one of our favorite authors to talk about this history making moment, how it happened and whether or not people really believed that the end was near and Martians had come to destroy mankind. Like many authors the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien in the Lord of the Rings stories are informed by his own life experiences including surviving the horrors of World War I. Our guest took us deep behind the fantasy to reveal how the underpinnings of his worldviews and his beliefs about God became the scaffolding on which he constructed these stories that continue to stand the test of time. As we turn our eyes more and more toward the holiday season, we must never forget that our spiritual warfare battles don’t take time off. We need to be ever ready to stand firm on God’s truth. So once again we invited you to ask your most challenging and confounding questions related to this topic to one of our favorite experts, who as usual, took us back to God’s word for clear guidance and direction on this multi-faceted topic. As we close out another week, our favorite husband and wife team draw us once again to think biblically and critically about the news making headlines this week.
