Let me take a moment and tell you about this month's truth tool. It's the case for heaven by Lee Strobel Lee is an atheist turned Christian and he's the former award-winning legal editor the Chicago Tribune

New York Times bestselling author using his investigative reporting style he once again digs into whether or not there can be evidence for the reality of heaven. So questions like is there any reliable evidence that there is life after death or

can neuroscience answer that question and is that the end of our existence or what does it mean to see God face-to-face and how will we spend our time in heaven and in fact what will happen be like.

Hi friends, this is Janet partial and I want to welcome you to the best of in the market. Today's program is pre-recorded so our phone lines are not open but I do hope you'll enjoy today's edition of the best of in the market with Janet partial.

Here are some of the news headlines we're watching on the conference was over the president one of the Americans worshiping government over God.

Extremely rare safety moved by a nation. 17 years the Palestinians and the Israelis were going to shoot it.

Hi friends welcome to be in the market with Janet partial what is the purpose of this program I ask you it is to get you out into the marketplace of ideas.

Why not my idea was Jesus's idea he said to go and tell so if you're not in the marketplace of ideas could somebody explain to me exactly how you tell if you're not among people who need to be told if I can quote a book where's from the book of acts how can they know unless somebody tells them and that somebody is you and me but oh we don't show up for a wide variety of excuses and rationales you know they're giants in the land I've just a grasshopper somebody might ask me a question I don't have the answer to they already think I'm a knee jerk right ring

the actionary homophobic member of the religious right so therefore I don't want to go into the marketplace because they're going to throw a mug by at me or we're just being outright disobedient and we're afraid and we've got all of these excuses so we have to learn to really do this the overflow of our hearts should be saying listen like the woman in john 14 let me tell you about the one who's told me everything I've ever done and revival breaks out because of her encounter and because of her testimony sometimes you just need a really good teacher.

It's going to teach you how to have some well I don't know street smarts to know what to say how to say it when to say it and to understand what role you play in the process oh there's a process you said well yeah when Paul is writing his letter to the church at Corinth a particularly sexually immoral neck of the woods by the rain fact if you became so sexually immoralized they would say in that day you're being Corinthianized it was a pejorative by the way so this is what he writes I have planted this is Paul talking Apollo's watered but God gave the increase.

And so sometimes we think we've done it a couple of times and there were no alter calls and the buses weren't waiting anymore and you know we just think well I've just fallen on my face I think obedience and victory is showing up we're going to expand on that we're going to talk to somebody for whom apologetics is his well to quote from Jeremiah it's fire in his bones he just loves to tell people how to tell people how to tell people about Jesus and so he's written wonderful books let me just start at the beginning first of all it's got a masters with honors in both apologetics and

philosophy and those two by the way go perfectly hand in hand he's spoken on more than 80 university campuses he hosts his own Colin radio program he's been doing that for more than 33 years he and I've been doing this almost the same as long period of time I'm a little bit longer but then I don't want to I was born after Greg I just want to point that out for the record and he's defending Christianity we're thinking about and he's the author of the award winning the story of reality and the best selling tactics and his newest book really falls beautifully in order after

tactics it's called street smarts using questions to answer Christianity's toughest challenges and I think if you and I could better understand this whole paradigm of using questions maybe it would take some of the fear away and it would help you understand how to better contend for the faith we're going to have a wonderful conversation I'm so glad you're here this program is designed to get you to think critically and biblically and for the record that's not a multiple choice test Greg thank you thank you thank you thank you for being here and I want to start

if I can with your testimony because I think practically everybody has seen the film Jesus revolution and you're a California fella and the Jesus revolution was more than a movie for you tell me how you came to faith in Christ

yeah Janet by the way first you are my favorite talk show interviewer I'm so glad to talk with you again we've had a number of conversations

yeah yes just just a real treat here and you got me juggling there I didn't want to enter interrupt you but you were so great

yes I became a Christian in almost 50 years ago in fact about two weeks is my spiritual birthday and yeah Jesus revolution I didn't see the movie because I was there when it happened you know I lived that kind of thing
