Talking It Over
Talking It Over is a live two-hour listener call-in program, hosted by Janet Parshall, that challenges listeners to examine the big news stories and issues being debated each week and to speak to them with what the Word of God says. In this fast-paced, caller-driven program, Parshall evaluates newsworthy topics with guests and listeners using the Bible as a framework for discussion. Talking It Over addresses relevant issues important to Christian believers, with an exciting mix of listener interaction and commentary.
An engaging program that can be aired as a two-hour block or a 54-minute stand-alone discussion, Talking It Over is filling an important void in the weekend lineup of stations across the country. We invite you to join us for a weekly town hall meeting where Janet gives listeners an opportunity to sort through today’s most challenging topics and walk away with biblical answers.
