Believing Is Seeing

Janet Parshall (0:00)

Hi, friend, thank you so much for downloading this podcast of In the Market with Janet Parshall. It is my fervent hope and prayer that you will hear something that will equip, edify, enlighten, encourage, and get you out there into the marketplace of ideas where you can make disciples of men and women. But before you go, and before you listen, I would like to tell you about this month's truth tool. It's called The Story of God and Us, Finding Our Place and Purpose in God's Plan for the World. You know, good stories make you laugh and cry and fear and dream and hope. They engage our hearts, they entertain our minds, they enlighten our souls. And in an age marked by increasing doubt, despair, and delusionment, awareness becomes dimmed of what the scriptures are really trying to tell us of that pulsating plot line, those compelling characters, those heroic rescues, and ultimately, the glorious resolution. God wrote a story. It's the best story ever. In fact, it's rich with drama, adventure, love, sacrifice, redemption, and an ending that seems, well, quite frankly, too good to be true.

So I've chosen the truth tool, The Story of God and Us by Dr. Jonathan Murphy is this month's truth tool. It not only shows us what God is doing from creation to eternity, but how everything makes sense from the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelation. This book is amazing because it shines the light on the saga of a perfect creation tainted by villainy that only a true hero can restore. It's a wonderful book and it's good for every single one of us, and it's yours for a gift of any amount. We are listener-supported radio. Your prayer and your gifts keep us on the air. So if you'd like a copy of This Month's Truth Tool, The Story of God and Us, just call 877-JANET-58. That's 877-JANET-58 or go online to inthemarketwithjanetparshall.org.

Just type in that you'd like a copy of the book at the website. You'll see the cover. Click it on. You can make your donation through the photo. Or when you call, say, I'd like This Month's Truth Tool. By the way, maybe you'd like to support us even more broadly. You can do that by becoming a partial partner. Those are people who give every single month at a level of their own choosing. What makes them unique is that they give every month. You always get the Truth Tool for every month that you're a partial partner. And in addition to that, you will get a weekly newsletter that contains my writing and an audio piece that only my partial partners hear. So the choice is yours. But let me thank you in advance for financially supporting In the Market with Janet Parshall.

Here are some of the news headlines we're watching. By the time the conference was over, the president won a pledge. Americans worshiping government over God.

Ladies, welcome to In the Market with Janet Parshall. I am thrilled we're going to spend the hour together because I hope we will slay once and for all the mythology that says you have a multiple choice test. It is either faith or reason, that science and religion are at war with one another, that it's one or the other, but the two are mutually exclusive and cannot happily coexist. Listen, I'm coming to you from the shadow of the nation's capital. We are a town of demonstrations, as you've probably picked up a time or two.

And I've seen them march down the main street in Washington, DC., carrying signs that say, I believe in science, which immediately makes me as a follower of Jesus Christ go. Does that mean I don't? Is it an either or proposition? I think not. And I think after this hour, you're going to hear from a man with all the credentials, all the initials possible after his name, all of the cred, as they say.

And you're going to understand that he says, believing is in fact seeing. Let me tell you who our guest is. Dr. Michael Guillen is our guest. He's a graduate of UCLA and Cornell, and he holds degrees in physics, math, and astronomy.

Students, that means he did his homework on a regular basis. He's a former science correspondent for ABC News. He was also a physics instructor at Harvard for eight years, host of the History Channel series, Where Did It Come From? And producer of the award-winning family movie Little Red Wagon, which you can watch right now on Amazon Prime if you want. He hosts the weekly podcast Science Plus God with Dr. G, and that gets sponsored by Caleb and Air One Radio Networks. And as if he didn't have anything else to do, he runs a film and television production company, and he joins us because in his spare time, he's written the book Believing is Seeing, a physicist explains how science shattered his atheism and revealed the necessity of faith. Michael, what a joy to have you with us. Thank you. You understand this as someone who understands physics. I can't give you back this hour of time. You're giving it to us, and I so appreciate it. Thank you.
