Hi, friend. Thank you so much for downloading this podcast, and I hope what you're about to hear will

encourage, equip, edify, enlighten you, and we'll get you out there into that marketplace of ideas.

But before you go, let me ask you to consider this month's Truth Tool. We're a listener-supported

radio, and my Truth Tools are a way of saying thank you for your financial gift. And it is,

after all, Christmas time. So I've chosen the book, The Joy of Jesus by Josh Moody.

It's 25 devotionals that remind us again, even in the midst of this very busy time of year,

exactly what God has done for us. When you think about it, the most wonderful gift ever given wasn't

wrapped in paper and tied with a bow. He was wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger.

This wonderful book, The Joy of Jesus, will remind us again the reason for the season and will help us set our mind on the reality of what God has done for us. And when you think about it, it's pretty overwhelming. So please, your financial gift keeps the program going, and I want you to be encouraged, particularly at Christmastime. Again book is called The Joy of Jesus, and it's yours for a gift of any amount by calling 877 Janet 58. That's 877 Janet 58, or go online to in the market with janetpartial.org. Scroll to the bottom of the page. There's the cover of the book. Click on through, make your donation and I'll send you a copy of the joy of Jesus. Also, you might want to consider becoming a

partial partner. Those are our friends, and it's an ever-enlarging circle of friends who give every single month at a level of their own choosing. You'll always get the month's truth tool, but in addition, you will get a weekly newsletter that contains some of my writing and an audio piece just for my partial partners.

So thank you in advance for prayerfully supporting this program.

877 Janet 58, 877 Janet 58 are online at In the Market with Janetparshal.org.

Thank you. the truth tool, the joy of Jesus. Now, please, enjoy the program. Hi, friends, this is Janet Partial. Thanks so much for choosing to spend the next hour with us. Today's program is pre-recorded,

so our phone lines are not open. But thanks so much for being with us and enjoy the broadcast.

Here are some of the news headlines we're watching. The conference time the conference was over, the president won a pledge. Americans worshipping government over God. Extremely rare safety moved by a major... 17 years of Palestinians and Israelis negotiated. We hear a lot of time. We're in the market with.

I hope you're having a great day. If not, well, then I hope the next hour's conversation will boy you up a bit because we're going to talk about a lot of things. All of them unseen, but they're certainly the sorts of topics that garner a lot of attention. Hollywood talks about them all the time. Watch cable TV. They're always doing some kind of a special on one of the things we're going to discuss, but when all else fails, as the saying goes, read the instructions. That takes us right back to the Word of God. But sometimes you need someone who can help you understand those instructions, and that's who we're going to have with us today. Dr. Jack Graham, who's the pastor of what I think is one of the most vibrant, alive, Christ-centered, growing churches in America,

Prestonwood Baptist Church.

And I appreciate their work so very, very much.

By the way, Dr. Graham was president of the Southern Baptist Convention, not once but twice.

And he is seen on television through his preaching program all the time and all kinds of radio stations all across the country.
