As we enter into Memorial Day Weekend, you’re most likely remembering someone special. We all have people who have made our lives different, whether it be preserving our freedoms or teaching us to be good and God-fearing people. Be sure to call early on Friday to make sure you get through to share your take with Jerry and Debbie about who it is you are remembering in a special way this weekend!
Life is filled with milestones and achievements. From birthdays to anniversaries, from accomplishments to retirements. Trips, vacations, pilgrimages, seeing a friend you haven’t seen for years – the list of things we might look forward to is endless. So, when you consider the statement, “I can’t wait until…”, how do you finish it? What excites you about your future, especially the future God has planned for you? Share your take with Jerry and Debbie on Thursday!

When we’re young we make mistakes. Even as adults we make mistakes. But when we surrender to God and His work in our lives, we grow, we mature, we change for the better. On Wednesday, Jerry and Debbie will be looking for people to call with their takes on what part of their lives have most changed for the better as they’ve gotten older. It could be that you’re more patient, smarter, healthier, more surrendered to God, etc. Join us at Noon and Midnight ET!

SHORT TAKE / Naomi
What can you say? Kids today are more vulnerable than ever to the influences of evil. That’s especially true with the easy access they have to the Internet, social media, etc. Parents have a tougher job today than ever. But there are things that can be done to ensure that children aren’t subject to what parents want them to avoid. Religious demonologist Adam Blai will share his expertise with you and Jerry and Debbie on today’s show. Don’t miss it!

Short Take:
Chances are, while you may not have known what it’s called, you’ve almost certainly experienced polyphony. It’s a type of singing that consists of two or more simultaneous lines of independent melody. Polyphony becomes “sacred” when what’s being sung are hymns of praise to God. Monday, Jerry and Debbie will be joined by Chris Mueller, whose ensemble, Ars Mueller, produces exceptionally beautiful sacred polyphony. In a world where so much music has little or no characteristics of beauty, you’ll be inspired by this conversation.
The opportunities are endless for each of us to welcome others into our lives, our homes, etc. It’s a genuine Christian practice to show hospitality. How well do you understand this and put it into practice? What does authentic hospitality look like? Is it possible to be too hospitable? Share your take on this topic with Jerry and Debbie !
There are new laws, rules popping up every day protecting the rights of some small groups wanting to be heard and valued. Everyone wants to be valued. But when we go to these extremes to accommodate everyone are we risking safety and morals for the future generation? Share your take with Jerry and Debbie on Wednesday’s show.
This ought to be a lively conversation on Friday, which marks the 99th anniversary of the first appearance of Mary to the children at Fatima. Dr. Mark Miravalle, one of the Church’s leading Mariologists, will join Jerry and Debbie to discuss the Virgin Mary’s request at Fatima that the Holy Father consecrate the world – and Russia in particular – to her Immaculate Heart. Some say it was done correctly, while others contend that it wasn’t. Mary said there would be a period of peace following the consecration. If so, what gives? The world seems to be less at peace now than it has in a very long time. We’ll sort all of this out – and welcome your takes and questions. Don’t miss it!

As Catholic Christians, we understand that the Church is made up of (arch)dioceses and parishes. Each of us resides within the boundaries of a particular parish. Even though we are not required by canon law to register with or attend the nearest parish, that is most often what we end up doing. At times, people deem it necessary to examine a variety of options before settling on a parish. Others may frequently change parishes, citing any number of reasons for doing so. Is this a healthy or unhealthy phenomenon? Are people’s reasons for “parish-hopping” legitimate? Have you had this experience? Share your take with Jerry and Debbie on Thursday’s show!
It’s often said that what people want most is simply to be recognized, listened to, respected for their inherent worth and dignity. For that to happen, there have to be those who are very good at listening to what others have to say. How well do you do that? Are you able to enter into a conversation with someone and “hear them out” when they try to describe for you who they are and what’s going on in their life? Obviously, a conversation implies that more than one person will engage in talking. But the importance of being a good listener can’t be overstated. Share your take with Jerry and Debbie on Tuesday’s show!
