As we make our way through life, friends come and friends go. Some we stay in close touch with. Others, not so much. But every now and then, someone from our past re-enters our life in some manner. With the advances in technology and social media, this has become more and more common. A friend from decades ago may see you pop up in their social media account(s) and want to reconnect. Or it could be as unlikely as bumping into them in the grocery store or on an airplane. Has this happened to you? How much had either of you changed? Were you able to reconnect on more than a superficial level? Call in and let’s talk about this on Monday.

Our monthly Unscripted show is quite popular because you bring the topics we will be discussing.  You can ask us anything, revisit a past show or even suggest a future topic for our 2020 calendar.  So please, if there is something on your mind or heart that you want to share, this is the show to call in…1-833-288-3986

Once again, you have exhibited your desire for a part two, as the phone lines were full the entire show on Monday. So, on Tuesday we’ll continue our conversation for another day. Here is the show description from Monday:

Marriages can be strained by many things. These are often friendships or relationships between one spouse and someone outside the marriage. This could involve a family member, a best friend, a drinking buddy, or, worst of all, an outside romantic interest. But there are times when one spouse is on fire for the faith, while the other spouse is not in the same place spiritually. Unfortunately, this can at times lead to the less devout spouse resenting the time the other spouse spends in Church, at prayer meetings, volunteering at the parish, etc. Have you experienced this in your marriage? If so, let’s have a conversation about on Wednesday, with a view to finding a way to help others avoid similar conflicts.

For every one who ever lives, there will be adjustments that will have to be made in the way we live. It could be moving out of the house for the first time, when you get married, the death of a spouse or loved one, finally just the two of you again in an “empty nest,” etc. Some adjustments can be much more difficult and painful than others, which can seem kind of routine. But as you look back over your life, what particular major adjustment(s) can you point out as having been pivotal for you? Let’s talk about this on Tuesday.

Today is the show for all urgent prayer requests…1-833-288-3986.

You don’t want to miss the Part 3 of this discussion on domestic violence…Please call in, 833-288-3986. Or tune in and listen as we learn together…

We had full phone lines on Wednesday’s Take 2 when we began the discussion on domestic violence. The real life stories that were shared by our callers proved to be inspirational, enlightening and quite moving.  Unfortunately, we ran out of time and could not get to everyone.  So, we decided early on in the broadcast to hold a Part 2.  If you were one of the callers that was patiently waiting when the show ended, please consider calling back on Thursday and informing Ryan of that fact.  We will do our very best to get you on the air so that you can share your story.  1-833-288-3986

According to an article on Wikipedia, between 960,000 and 3,000,000 incidents of domestic violence are reported each year, while many other incidents go unreported. It is estimated that more than ten million people experience domestic violence in just the alone U.S. each year. It can be experienced by men, women and children. Domestic violence may include verbal, emotional, economic, physical and sexual abuse. All forms of domestic abuse have one purpose: to gain and maintain control over the victim. Abusers use many tactics to exert this power over their victims. On Wednesday, we’re going to talk about this, and invite those who are comfortable doing so to call and share their experience of being a victim of domestic abuse, and, God-willing, finding a way out of that and into healing and peace. This is another topic that was suggested by a listener, in this case Stand Tall Carol in Wisconsin.
