Are You Inspired By the Martyrs?

Throughout the Church’s history, there have been countless men and women who have laid down their lives for the sake of Jesus and His Church. This, of course, goes all the way back to the earliest days of Christianity. Wednesday (July 8) is the day the Church celebrates the memory and glorious martyrdom of seven sisters of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, who, according to http://www.catholicsaints.info were all beheaded on July 9, in one of the periodic crackdowns against foreign missionaries in China. The sisters were sent to the Shanxi diocese to serve the poor in hospitals, and care for the unwanted or others who were destitute in orphanages. They were

Is there someone whose devotion to the faith led them to give up their earthly life in an act of martyrdom. There are lots and lots of them, so you shouldn’t have difficulty calling and sharing who that is (or who they are) on Wednesday’s show.

Inadvertent Embarrassing Moments

Have you ever said or done something, only to soon realize that it was a faux pas of sorts? It could be that you cut into a line of people waiting for a particular service, not realizing that they were all waiting until someone pointed it out to you. Perhaps you made comments about someone, only to learn later that the person you were talking to is related to them. On Tuesday, Jerry and Debbie invite your takes on how you handled these inadvertent embarrassing moments. Jerry has a real doozy to share that actually involves Pope Francis. Don’t miss the show!

Have You Had a “Job” Period In Life?

On Thursday, Jerry and Debbie want to hear from you if you have ever been tested severely by life’s circumstances. This topic was suggested by a YouTube viewer named Mary. We’re using as our point of departure the incredible story of Job in the Old Testament, which describes Job as “blameless and upright, one who feared God, and turned away from evil.” Yet, God permitted all that Job had to come under Satan’s power (except Satan was forbidden to lay a hand on Job himself). Job – the innocent man who suffered so much – loses most of his family, his servants, his land and his livestock. For his patience and acceptance of suffering, without cursing God, Job is eventually given twice as much as he had before. Have you suffered tremendously? Were you able to gracefully accept those circumstances? Has your relationship with God been put to the test as a result? Let’s have another inspiring conversation on Thursday’s show.

Are You Able to Vacation This Summer?

Many states have been reopening following the coronavirus pandemic shutdown. Yet, almost on cue, some states are reversing course and preparing for another shutdown. As Catholic Christians, we know that leisure is an important part of life, in order to get refreshed and renewed. But this summer is unlike any in recent memory. Have you already taken a vacation this year? If so, how was it similar, and how was it different, from years past. If you haven’t been on vacation yet, how are you planning in light of how things are still going with the pandemic? That’s our conversation on Tuesday’s show. Join us with your take at 833-288-3986.

Overlooked In The News

T2--News-today (1)

We are all probably well aware of the news that reaches the mainstream media these days.  But there are countless news stories, equally as important, that never get past the local arena.  Some of these stories may circulate on social media but seem to die off rather quickly after a new event occurs.  On Take 2, we want you to share with us those stories that have received little or no media coverage but may be of direct interest to us as Christians.  Please call us at, 1-833-288-3986.

Belief in God

T2-doubt-God- June 25 (1)

Have you always believed in God?  Were there times in your life, possibly during a personal crisis, that you doubted God’s existence?  When we experience or witness a traumatic event, it may be very easy to start questioning our own belief in God.  Our thoughts are part of the journey and God knows that.  If you have struggled with doubt about God, please call in and let’s talk about it. 1-833-288-3986
