Short Take – Katherine:
The Year of Mercy proclaimed by Pope Francis starts on Tuesday, December 8 – the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. On Monday, Jerry and Debbie will look for your takes on what you hope for during this special year. A healing? A restored marriage or other relationship? The ability to receive God’s forgiveness for something you feel can’t be forgiven? The list goes on and on. Your calls, as always, will drive this insightful show. Be sure to call early, as lines fill up fast!
Much is made – and rightly so – about the need for individuals with a same-sex attraction to live chastely and in accordance with natural law and the teachings of the Church. Just what are the boundaries that should be followed by those with a same-sex attraction who wish to do just that? On Friday, Jerry and Debbie welcome Fr. Paul Check to the program. He is the director of Courage, an outreach that assists Catholics with a same-sex attraction who wish to be faithful to the Church’s teachings. Join us at Noon ET (or catch the encore at Midnight ET if you miss the live show)!

Short Take – John:
In all of our decisions, we should exercise prayer and prudence. You know the saying: Fools rush in. But there’s another side to that coin. Many of us find ourselves hesitating to the point of never taking appropriate action. Or we finally act when it’s too late. Does this apply to you? If so, share your take with Jerry and Debbie – and the world – on Thursday at Noon ET. The show re-airs at Midnight ET on the EWTN Global Catholic Radio Network.

Looking in the mirror can be difficult for some. Others find it quite enjoyable. Why is it that some love what they see staring back at them and others simply dislike or even despise what they see. This is a serious topic that has spiritual ramifications. Let’s talk about it! Share your experience at 1-800-585-9396
On Tuesday, Jerry and Debbie will field your takes on the current wave of refugees being taken in by numerous countries around the world. As our bishops and many others have said, we must show compassion and assist those truly in need in any way we can. As has also been pointed out – including in the attached article by William Kilpatrick that was recently published in The National Catholic Register – prudence and caution must be exercised when overseeing the reception of refugees into a country. While it may not be the fault of legitimate refugees, they’re very often accompanied by those who could pose a threat to a country’s national security. Don’t miss this important conversation at Noon and Midnight ET.

Today on Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie, we will be talking about what it means to be a stepfather. Are you a stepdad? Did you have a stepdad? What was your experience being or having a stepfather?
It does take a special person to love another man’s child. With the increasing number of blended families occurring in the United States, stepfathers are now a familiar and vital part of the family unit. We want and need to hear from you on what it means to be a stepfather. Also, give us ideas on what we can do to support stepfathers in our neighborhood communities.

On Friday, Jerry and Debbie present their first “Unscripted” show. We invited listeners to submit their questions to us about anything they wanted to ask. If you thought you knew your hosts, tune in and listen as they share more deeply from their hearts. The show airs at Noon and Midnight ET every weekday!
Advent begins this Sunday. What sometimes gets misunderstood is that, like Lent, it’s designed to be in part a period of penitence and preparation. So, on Wednesday Jerry and Debbie want to know what bold Adventure you have planned to bring glory to God and help renew your soul! Call in early to make sure you get to share your take with the world. You could just inspire someone to make it his or her best Advent ever!
A novena is a set of prayers that typically span nine days (the Latin root of the word novena means nine) and are often focused on obtaining help for a particular intention. Do you have one that’s your “go-to” novena when you need special help from God, from Jesus, from Our Blessed Mother? Let Jerry and Debbie – and the world – know about it on Tuesday’s show, Noon and Midnight ET!
