In the latest episode of In The Market, hosts Janet and Craig turn the week’s headlines into a conversation about what it means to live out Christian faith in a rapidly changing political landscape. They ask the hard questions that many believers face: How should we vote when the electorate is shifting? What does Israel’s subsidy program say about faith, security, and partnership? And how do the newest culture‑war issues—transgender rights, marriage, and family law—test our biblical convictions?

Why Christian Voting Matters in a Shifting Political Landscape

Janet and Craig open with the mid‑term election results, noting that Democrats secured control of both houses of Congress. They point out that evangelical voter turnout has been falling, with roughly half of the 80‑million born‑again Christians remaining unregistered. The hosts frame this decline as a question: if voting is a way to influence policy, what does it mean for believers who choose to stay silent?

Israel’s Subsidy Strategy: A Test of Faith and National Security

The conversation turns to Israel’s subsidy program, which the hosts describe as an effort to keep the country dependent on American weaponry while limiting its domestic arms production. They explore how this financial arrangement reflects a partnership between faith and national security, and they ask listeners to consider how their own beliefs shape their view of international aid and defense.

Culture Wars: How Transgender and Marriage Issues Challenge Biblical Family

Janet and Craig tackle the latest state measures on transgender rights and marriage. They discuss how laws protecting transgender athletes or redefining marriage test the biblical view of family and identity. The hosts invite listeners to reflect on how evolving social norms intersect with Scripture and what that means for Christian families.

The Call to Engage: What the Week’s Headlines Mean for Believers

Throughout the episode, the hosts weave together the political, cultural, and international threads, urging Christians to examine how their faith informs their civic engagement. They leave listeners with a sense of urgency—without revealing every conclusion—so that the full audio can deepen the conversation.
