Take 2

On Monday, Jerry and Debbie will entertain your takes on any Church teaching on which you’ve at one point changed your mind. There are the moral issues – abortion, contraception, end-of-life, etc. – and, of course, there are myriad theological teachings of the Church that people at times struggle with. Maybe for you it was a teaching on Mary, the pope, the male-only priesthood, Purgatory or something else. Was there a time in your life when you either struggled with or simply didn’t accept a definitive teaching of the Church, only to “see the light” and change your mind? We hope you will join us with your phone calls, e-mails, social media comments and texts.

Part 2 of this amazing discussion continues on Thursday…Call in, 1-833-288-3986.

It’s been said that, “Into every life a little rain must fall.” Similarly, no one can make it through life without shedding some tears. For some of us, that means many tears. Tears of sadness. Tears of grief. Tears of pain. Tears of joy. Tears of gratitude. Many studies have pointed to the cleansing power of crying tears. If there’s been a time in your life – maybe more than one time – when you found yourself shedding multitudes of tears, are you now able to look back and say that those difficult periods brought cleansing to your soul? Let’s talk about this on Wednesday.

Ok ladies, it is your turn to share with the world how you thrive in your faith.  The men did an outstanding job yesterday inspiring and encouraging us with their personal faith practices.  Now it is time to focus on the women of faith.  Please call us Tuesday and share with the rest of the world your recipe for spiritual success. We are not asking you to boast about your prayer life, but rather to let us in on how you have deepened your relationship with God. We can all benefit from what you are willing to share.  1-833-288-EWTN

On Monday, Jerry and Debbie will welcome calls from the men who listen to the show. We want to talk about “manly spirituality,” what types of things you do to thrive in your Christian faith and your overall relationship with God. It could be things like prayer, works of mercy, volunteering, being the best husband and father you can be, etc. It all goes into being a dependable and holy man of God. We’re not asking you to brag on yourself. We want you to share your high’s and low’s, up’s and down’s, so you can educate and inspire other men who will be listening!

Much like we’re not born and don’t instantly become adults, so in our professional lives we have to “pay dues” in order to reach the career dreams and goals we have when we’re young. To do that often requires us to take whatever job(s) we can when we’re getting started, work our hardest, take on extra duties and shifts, etc. In today’s world, it seems that a large number of young people expect to climb the corporate ladder in little or no time. Let’s have a conversation about this on Friday, and share with us how you may have had very humble beginnings to what eventually became a very fruitful working life.
