The Church teaches that there is a heaven, and there is a hell. But She only proclaims infallibly that some are in heaven. She has not ever said with certainty that anyone has been damned to hell. We know from Jesus’ words regarding Judas – that it would be better for the one who betrayed the Son of Man if he had never been born – that the likelihood of souls ending up in hell is high. But…what would YOU think, or how would YOU feel if it were revealed that no one would wind up in hell, and that all men would end up gaining eternal salvation? Unfair? A great thing? You decide today with your takes at Noon and Midnight ET!

Odd title for a show, isn’t it? Or is it? Do you like things a certain way, and if they change you get nervous or fearful? We live in a world of change. It’s all around us. But sometimes we get to where we like things in a box, neat and tidy. This can happen in our homes, in the workplace, just about anywhere. How do you deal with the changes that affect you? Call with your takes on Thursday’s program, Noon and Midnight ET!

Are you single and wondering if that’s the vocation God has called you to live? Is remaining single even a legitimate vocation in the Church? Some say it is, some say it’s not. Join us on Wednesday for what promises to be a lively discussion with our special guest, Mary Beth Bonacci. The show airs at Noon ET, with an encore broadcast at Midnight ET.

Tuesday’s show will be all about managing the debt in our lives. Some debt is “productive,” i.e. a mortgage or car payment. Other debt can be “unproductive,” i.e. financing that new and improved flat screen TV to replace the one in your den that works just fine. Jerry and Debbie will have Ray Lucia, a financial expert, with them to hear your takes and answer your questions. If you’re drowning in debt, and don’t have any idea how you’re going to get your financial freedom back, you won’t want to miss this show!

ENOUGH SAID…

As Christians, we’re pilgrims on our way to Heaven. But sometimes we can get so anchored in the things of this world that we forget that we are to truly long, or yearn, for Heaven. The Book of Revelation exhorts us to pray, “Come, Lord Jesus!” Heaven will be so far beyond what we can imagine, and, of course, so much greater than life here on earth. Yet, how can we balance living this life abundantly, while still saying to ourselves, “I can’t wait to get to Heaven!”? That’s what we’ll discuss on Friday’s show. Be sure to call and share your take on yearning for eternal life!

Tomorrow’s guest has been someone I have admired for many years!  Dr. William (Bill) Sears, America’s favorite Pediatrician.  His work, family and outlook on life is truly inspiring… I am so excited he will be with us for the entire hour.  Dr. Sears is one of the reasons my husband and I launched FarmsByGrace (georgianni.com).  We wanted to give people healthy/economical ways for growing their own food and building up their diet with whole food nutrition.  I became a certified health coach in one of Dr. Sears programs and it changed my life for the better.

Please tune in tomorrow and invite your friends as well. If you have a question for this world-renowned pediatrician, (even Princess Kate references his work), call in at 1-800-585-9396.

Dr. Bill

Dr. Sears, or Dr. Bill as his “little patients” call him, has been advising busy parents on how to raise healthier families for over 40 years. He received his medical training at Harvard Medical School’s Children’s Hospital in Boston and The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, the world’s largest children’s hospital, where he was associate ward chief of the newborn intensive care unit before serving as the chief of pediatrics at Toronto Western Hospital, a teaching hospital of the University of Toronto. He has served as a professor of pediatrics at the University of Toronto, University of South Carolina, University of Southern California School of Medicine, and University of California: Irvine. As a father of 8 children, he coached Little League sports for 20 years, and together with his wife Martha has written more than 40 best-selling books and countless articles on nutrition, parenting, and healthy aging. He serves as a health consultant for magazines, TV, radio and other media, and his AskDrSears.com website is one of the most popular health and parenting sites. Dr. Sears has appeared on over 100 television programs, including 20/20, Good Morning America, Oprah, Today, The View, and Dr. Phil, and was featured on the cover of TIME Magazine in May 2012. He is noted for his science-made-simple-and-fun approach to family health.

How do you handle the holiday season? Do you feel stressed and overwhelmed?  Maybe you have found peace and joy all throughout the holidays…If so, we need to hear from you!

If you have men who will exclude any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men. — St. Francis of Assisi 

On Monday’s show Jerry and Debbie address facts and myths about the great saint – Saint Francis of Assisi.  Did he create the  first nativity scene? Did he really have the stigmata? Did he make peace with a wolf and save a town?
