This topic was suggested by a listener.  Let’s face it.  We are all going to get old and eventually die.  The grey hairs start coming in and wrinkles too.  The bones ache and muscles are sore.  We cannot do the things we once loved to do.  Growing old can make us cranky or we can be joyful in the process.  Where are you with aging gracefully?  Let’s talk about how we can embrace the stages of life and do so in a dignified manner.  Call us on Monday with your “take” on this topic.  1-833-288-3986.

Many times in life we can be burned by someone at work, home or sadly in the church.  We then say, this will never happen to me again.  We walk away from that person or even from the church, promising never to return.  Never say never is the saying that seems to ring true so many times in our lives.  Have you been in a place in your life with someone or something, where you thought this is it, never again will I feel this way, only to realize you were back with a whole new understanding and relationship? Interesting discussion and one that worthy of having on Tuesday’s show.  Call us at, 1-833-288-3986.

Kind, loving, outgoing, funny, easy to talk to?  These are just some traits that folks look up to and wish they could easily possess.  What personality trait do you wish you had? As long as you are still alive, there is always a chance to learn and cultivate a desired personality trait.  If you find that you talk more than listen, maybe you could practice with friends on how to be a good listener. Or possibly it is just the opposite, you may need to put yourself out there more. So then a public speaking group may be just the right answer. Many life exercises can be performed to enhance a personality trait.  You just have to be willing to learn and step out of your comfort zone in order to experience phenomenal growth. Call us on Monday and share your thoughts on this topic.    (1-833-288-EWTN)

This monthly show we do called, Unscripted is very popular, because it is your chance to discuss virtually anything that is on your mind and heart.  You can address past shows and topics.  You are welcome to suggest future subjects for us to put on the show calendar.  We love when our listeners come up with shows that are meaningful to them. Maybe you just have something you want to discuss and nowhere to bring it up.  Well, that is what Unscripted is for.  So don’t miss your chance to share.  Call in early, 1-833-288-3986.

This topic was suggested by a loyal listener.  They wanted to know why there was so much suffering in this world.  If God is all good, why does He allow so much pain and misery?  They also wanted to know why it seems like some people are blessed and others have great hardships in their lives.  From their perspective, it appears that the good ones get punished more in this lifetime.  These were the questions/concerns this listener raised and they asked if we would open it up for our callers to weigh in with their takes.  Of course, we aim to please, so Thursday’s show is all about suffering.  Call in and share your experience and wisdom on this very important subject. 1-833-288-3986.

We are asking the question on Tuesday’s show, do you like going to family gatherings? If so, tell us what is special about them for you.  If you absolutely dread getting together with family, we want to hear from you as well.  Families can be great but they can also be spiritually draining at times.  Your story can definitely be a help to others.  That is why it is important to share when you have an opportunity like this.  Not all families are the same.  Yes, there are those exceptional families that are fun, harmonious and tight-knit.  These families shine, no doubt.  But let’s face it, most of us belong to a family that carries with it challenges that we must encounter every time we come together.  Tell us your family story by calling, 1-833-288-3986.

Once a month we come to the show with no set agenda to discuss, rather we open up the phone lines and let you take it away.  You can revisit previous shows, suggest future topics, or you can just share anything that is weighing on your mind.  We will try to answer your questions about the faith as best we can and we will certainly engage in a healthy conversation about things going on in your life.  We love the fact that Take 2 is a peer ministry.  We journey together as a family, learning and growing from one another.  So call in and share whatever you like and we will be here to listen. 1-833-288-3986.
