In the old days, families would take their aging parents in to live with them.  This is not the case today.  In fact, assisted living centers are literally popping up all over the country.  It is a need but it is also a huge money maker.  Let’s face it, no one will care for your aging mom or dad like you can.  But work, family, geography may prohibit the ability to do so.  Therefore we rely on strangers, the society, or even the government to take care of our elderly.  How do you think we are doing?  Are we treating our elderly with dignity and respect or are we just warehousing them until they pass.  This topic is a tough one but let’s tackle it together.  In addition to talking about the elderly, let’s also honor all the great caregivers, nurses and assistants that truly have a heart for this ministry. 1-833-288-3986.

Do you resist being happy because you think it won’t last? Many times we are more at home with being miserable.  Life can bring great moments of happiness yet we may fear feeling the full effect because we know it just won’t last. Or worse, we feel we do not deserve happiness in this world.  Jesus said in John 10:10, I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.  Scripture does not lie.  Having life to the full includes a sense of happiness.  Let’s talk about happiness in life and more on the next Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie. 1-833-288-3986

The number 1 prayer intention is for children to come back to the Faith.  Parents and grandparents are aching over this sad reality.  We want the best for our children and that includes the Catholic Faith.  But our children and grandchildren have minds of their own and they have intentionally walked away from the Church.  We pray, we talk, we yell, we cry but it simply doesn’t seem to move them closer to Catholicism.  What are we left to do?  How are we supposed to feel?  We want our children in heaven someday God-willing with us.  It is a parents and grandparents worst nightmare to helplessly watch their loved ones go astray.  Let’s talk about how we can support one another and bring our children back to God. 1-833-288-3986

It is very important for everyone to have a strong Christian support system.  Whether that be spiritual direction or just like-minded friends in the faith.  Christians need to bounce things off of folks that can help them spiritually and that have the same understanding of the faith.  When a support system is absent, Christians tend to feel alone in their journey of faith and can waiver or even fall off the path.  We are meant for community.  We are the Body of Christ and we should support one another on the road to holiness and ultimately to God.  Call us and share how you found your Christian support system.  1-833-288-3986

Sometimes people are afraid to grow.  They think by staying the same they can control their lives and their future.  Growth is essential both personally and more so spiritually.  We must embrace challenges as an opportunity to expand, evolve and mature ourselves, thus making us more pleasing to God.  Challenges can produce rapid growth that allows one to witness better with regards to faith.  Let’s talk about how we have all been faced with challenges in life and what the outcome was for us and for others.  Call in early to the show at, 1-833-288-3986.

We can truly be remorseful for our actions but the damage may be way too deep.  Have you ever said, I’m sorry, hoping for a full reconciliation, only to find out that it can never  fully be repaired?  Sometimes people feel it is just too far gone to fix things with another I’m sorry.  This is a very unfortunate situation that many of us have had to face.  Call in and share your experience of this scenario.  1-833-288-3986.

In a world where gadgets have taken over and people are moving at a fast pace, it is no wonder why the human body has a difficult time settling down and being quiet.  In fact, it has been reported that many folks struggle with silence.  Constant chatter or noise seems to be the new normal in this culture. So, if peace is what you are craving and cannot seem to find it in this loud world, may we suggest giving Adoration a try.  Being still with our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament can bring forth many graces and blessings that are spiritually life changing. In addition, Adoration boosts our physical well being, something we all desire. Let’s have a conversation on how Adoration is just the remedy we need to bring about real and everlasting peace.  Call us with your story, 1-833-288-3986.
