Live from the EWTN Studios in Irondale, Alabama!
We all make mistakes. We commit sins. Do we learn from them? Have they made us more patient and compassionate with those who stray? How have the mistakes we’ve made throughout our lives turned out to be beneficial to others. For example, how have you been a better parent because of the hard lessons you learned while growing up? Call us at, 1-833-288-3986.
Do you resist being happy because you think it won’t last? Many times we are more at home with being miserable. Life can bring great moments of happiness yet we may fear feeling the full effect because we know it just won’t last. Or worse, we feel we do not deserve happiness in this world. Jesus said in John 10:10, I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. Scripture does not lie. Having life to the full includes a sense of happiness. Let’s talk about happiness in life and more on the next Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie. (This was a previous broadcast, but quite popular with our listeners)
Are you one of many siblings? Or are you raising a large family yourself? There can be so many blessings within such families. And there can also be unique challenges. On Monday, join Jerry and Debbie for another impactful conversation with your personal experience of large families.
We receive services all the time. From servers in restaurants to the bellhops at hotels and even the restroom attendants or housekeeping. We benefit from others serving our needs. What about the valet attendant helping to park our car. We are surrounded by service jobs that make our lives easier. So how do you determine the gratuity you leave these fine individuals for a job well done? Do you just tip a standard 15 or 20 percent? Or do you base your tipping on the quality of service you receive? Let’s talk about this and see how this weaves into our Christian life. Call us and share from the perspective of the person that tips or the person that depends on the tips of others. 1-833-288-3986.
Every married couple has their “story.” How you met. How long you dated. Discussions of matrimony. Overcoming all sorts of obstacles like distance, family objections and various differences in life philosophy. Finding a spouse can be a lot more intricate than just being physically attracted to someone. On Thursday, call and share your own “love story,” especially if you and your spouse overcame significant odds to make it work.
The conversation continues today on Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie… Call us! 1-833-288-3986.
On Tuesday’s Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie, we will talk about the power of the Most Holy Rosary. October is Rosary month and we should be sharing all the wonderful things about the Most Holy Rosary so that folks will start regularly praying it. Padre Pio once said: Some people are so foolish that they think they can go through life without the help of the Blessed Mother. Love the Madonna and pray the Rosary, for her Rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today. Very powerful indeed! Also on Tuesday, we will be conducting our monthly webinar with our special guest, Fr. Donald Calloway who will speaking about St. Joseph and about the Rosary. Info about the webinar is at jerryanddebbie.com.
For some time now, Jerry and Debbie have offered a monthly show dedicated to taking your prayer intentions. It is always among our most impactful shows. We regularly receive e-mail from people who have urgent and time-sensitive intentions. So, we decided to offer an episode for those of you to call in who need prayers “right now.” On Monday, we’ll take your 911 prayer requests and offer them all to the Lord for His prompt replies.
Many people follow a Monday through Friday “work week.” Of course, many do not. For those who do, the weekend represents a couple of days to recharge your batteries, get important tasks done, go to Mass, get out of town and do something fun, etc. Even those whose work week is not Monday through Friday have their own “weekends.” Do you get excited as the weekend approaches? How do you make the best use of the time off from work? Perhaps you find weekends difficult, and can’t wait to get back into the weekday routine? As this weekend approaches, let’s have a lively discussion about this on Friday.
On Thursday, Jerry and Debbie want you to take all of us “back to school.” Throughout our lives, we’ve all had dozens of teachers, instructors, mentors, professors. They each have had their unique impact on our lives, hopefully all for the better. As you look back, can you point to one of them who was especially helpful in forming you into the person you are today? It could be a tough choice, but let’s all weigh in on this and honor the teacher who had the biggest impact on our lives.
