Hi, friend. Thank you so much for downloading this podcast, and I truly hope you hear something that encourages, edifies, equips, enlightens, and gently, but consistently pushes you out there into the marketplace of ideas.

But before you start to listen, and before you go to the marketplace, let me just tell you about this month's truth tool.

And it is a perfect fit for both the marketplace and getting out there.

It's Ray Comfort's book, Why Jesus. If you listen to

the broadcast with any regularity, you know we love Ray. He is bold, unashamed of the gospel, and yet in

such a winsome way, delivers a truth narrative to the man in the street, so to speak. He's written the

book, Why Jesus, to teach you how to walk through by examples and through real conversations he's had on how to share the gospel in exactly the same way. Listen, we're called to go and tell. It's not an opt-in, opt-out clause. That's where we're supposed to go. And in truth, how can we keep this good news to ourselves? So I want you to have why Jesus is this month's Truth Tool, so you'll get some

fire in your bones about going out and sharing the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We're listener-supported radio. My Truth Tools are a way of saying thank you when you give

a gift to the program to keep us going financially. Just call 877 Janet 58. That's 877

Janet 58 or online at in the market with janetpartial.org. Again, it's called

why Jesus. And you can ask for that over the phone or you can scroll down and look for the picture

at the bottom of the front page of the website, clicking on make your donation that way. You might

also consider becoming a partial partner. Those are my friends and boy, they're growing by

leaps and bounds who give every single month. They always get the truth to, but in addition to that, they get a weekly newsletter that has some of my writing and an audio piece that only my partial partners get. So prayerfully consider, won't you, whether you'll be a partial partner or just a one-time gift so you can get a copy of Why Jesus. 877 Janet 58 or online at In the Market

with Janet partial.org. Now, please, enjoy the broadcast. Here are some of the news headlines

we're watching. The conference was over. The president won a planet. Americans worshiping government

over God. An extremely rare safety move by a nation. 17 years of Palestinians and Israelis negotiated.

Hi, friends. Welcome to In the Market with Janet Parshall. Well, you just heard the cacophony of the marketplace of ideas. And I wonder how many people shopping and looking and listening to the ideas that are being bought and sold at that place. Stop and meander at a booth talking about prayer. Now, you know, culture writ large, well, if they don't have a relationship with the living God, why would you bother to have a conversation

with them? But for the church, capital C, universal, why is prayer such an often difficult subject

for us on a regular basis? Is it because we think it has to be formulaic that God won't

listen unless we do it a specific way? Do we think that God doesn't answer our prayers? Do we think it has to be formulaic that God won't listen unless we do it a specific way?
