Advent is a grace filled, sacred season for us to get ready for the birth of our Savior.  Many people don’t know how to prepare during Advent.  Some don’t even fully understand the purpose of Advent.  Others enter into this time of the Church year with a great sense of anticipation and a prayerful heart.  Our conversation will be about how we can fully embrace Advent so that when Christmas comes our joy and understanding of the Messiah is deep within our hearts.  Share your Advent traditions with us by calling, 1-800-585-9396.

National Catholic Register’s Worst Nativity Scenes Ever ::  www.ncregister.com/blog/matthew-archbold/the-worst-nativity-sets.-ever

Jerry and Debbie are on location at St Mary Basha Catholic School in Chandler, AZ.  They will be speaking with the Junior High students of the school to find out how they incorporate the fruits of the spirit in their academics and activities.  This will be a great show for all the families discerning whether or not to give their children a Catholic school education.  Our number to call in is: 1-800-585-9396.

Jerry and Debbie are on location at St Mary’s Church in Chandler, Arizona.  This parish has two church locations and over 4,700 registered families.  One would consider St Mary’s a “mega” parish.  A parish that is vibrant and growing is a blessing to have, but the challenge may be how to keep the community feel.  We will talk about this and more when we visit with this fine community and hear how they are working through this good problem to have, expanding at a fast pace.  Jerry and Debbie will also be speaking at St Mary’s Advent Mission, Monday the 28th through Wednesday the 30th in the evening.  Our call in number for the show is: 1-800-585-9396.

Every year of life brings forth new experiences, knowledge and wisdom. Mature adults have seen it all, maybe done it all, and hopefully gained a better understanding of life. We can be the beneficiaries of those that have lived a full life. We just need to give our elders the platform to share their insights on the meaning of life. Wednesday’s Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie is asking all our older/wiser audience to share their takes on what was their most profound experiences of their life journey thus far, i.e. what they have learned over the course of a life filled with high’s and low’s, difficulties and triumphs. This should be an enlightening discussion for all, and will undoubtedly teach us all some important lessons. You may want to set aside the hour and tune in or call in at 1-800-585-9396.

Join us on Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie as we discuss what may be on your mind from time to time, the four last things, (Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell).  Call in and share your wisdom at 1-800-585-9396.

You go to Mass weekly, try to be a good Catholic, but the gossip at the water cooler at work is just too easy to partake in.  Does that make you a hypocrite?  Maybe you have even been called a hypocrite, yet in your heart you know you are trying your hardest to know, love and serve God.  This can be a fascinating discussion but we need your input.  Please call and share your experience at 1-800-585-9396.

Our children are the future of our Church.  That is why it is important and good for their own spiritual development for them to become active in ministry at an early age.  Whether it is Altar Serving, Vacation Bible School, or volunteering in some capacity with a church program, such as the food bank, our kids do make a difference by their acts of service.   Also, they are examples of true disciples, learning, growing and serving in the Faith.  What kinds of service do your kids perform?  Hey kids, call in and share why you love being active in the church.  1-800-585-9396.

Back by popular demand, Unscripted this Friday is our show for the entire hour.  This is a great chance to bring up whatever, within reason of course, that is on your mind and heart.  We will have a candid discussion and let’s see where the Holy Spirit takes it.  Also, this show is the perfect time to make suggestions for future show topics, revisit past issues we have covered, or even to express how you felt about all the powerful calls that came in this past month.  We hope to do Unscripted once a month so that our listeners feel intimately connected with us and the Take 2 family.  Join in on the fun by calling, 1-800-585-9396.
