The tension between China and Taiwan has notched up another level. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we spoke to a respected national security expert about the island nations election of a pro-democracy president and how China is reacting to that. We also addressed President XI’s praise of Chairman Mao and XI’s part in a new “Axis of Evil” that includes China, Russia and North Korea. Religious liberty is under assault in ways it never has been before. We updated you on an important case involving a specialty cake shop and why the outcome of this case is something we should all be concerned about. Gen Z is facing a serious mental health crisis. We discussed how that challenge impacts the way they see and interact with the world and how parents and leaders can navigate these challenges while still building a strong foundation of faith into their lives. Kindness is in short supply these days, even among God’s people. But our guest reminded us of the holy mission set before God’s children to be His ambassadors of His kindness to a hungry and hurting world. In the midst of the chaos and turmoil God is doing amazing, life transforming things in the Middle East. We shared stories that will lengthen your prayer lists for God’s people on the frontlines of this vital mission field. We shared the insights of a man who stood up for civil rights since the 60’s who says that Affirmative Action despite its positive sounding name, actually undermines the teaching and efforts of Dr. King and those who put their lives on the line for civil rights. How do we navigate the challenges of today’s word and the onslaught of news that we get hit with every day? We do it by measuring all of it against the unbending straight stick of God’s truth. Join us today as our husband and wife team take us back to the Word as we turn a critical eye on the news of the week.
