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.

And don't forget the name of the truth tool, the joy of Jesus.

Now please enjoy the program.

We hear a lot of... This is not... That moment I thought, oh, there's nobody up there now saying, oh, you're special anyway,

then I just realized what's about taking personal responsibility for things. I think that's a big, that's a big

change. If you've crossed over from one side to the other, you realize that your personal responsibility,

you have to factor that in, you have to take responsibility for the choices that you make and
