Stretching Yourself
We each have one. It’s called our “comfort zone.” Here’s how Miriam-Webster defines that:
Definition of comfort zone
1: the temperature range within which one is comfortable
2: the level at which one functions with ease and familiarity
When we’re in our own personal comfort zone, we usually have no trouble navigating the road of life. But do we grow as persons and as followers of Jesus when we stay in that safe place? How important is it to stretch ourselves a little bit once in a while? Sometimes, that stretching is imposed upon us by family obligations, job requirements or other factors. On Thursday, call and share how you have experienced coming out of your comfort zone and discovering new skills and talents you didn’t know you possessed.
What Do You Consider a Good Night’s Sleep?
How well do you sleep at night? Or do you work nights and sleep during the day? Either way, restful sleep is important to the proper functioning of our lives. Many people are asleep before their heads hit their pillows, while some take a long time to fall asleep. Some can sleep for long stretches at a time, while others of us wake up several times during the night. What do you consider a good night’s sleep? What do you do when you lie in bed awake and are unable to sleep? Are you a person who only needs a short amount of sleep to be energetic? Let’s talk about this on Wednesday’s show.
Below are some prayers a listener sent in that help her sleep better and more soundly.
Lord, as I lie down and sleep may I wake again because You sustain me (Psalm 3:5). Do not let my foot slip; You, Who watches over me does not slumber. Indeed, You Who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps. (Psalm 121:3-4). May I lie down and sleep in Peace, for You alone O LORD, make me dwell in safety (Psalm 4:8).
In vain I rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat; but You grant sleep to those You Love (Psalm 127:2b), help me to fall asleep quickly. When I lie down may I not be afraid; when I lie down, may my sleep be sweet (Proverbs 3:24); please make these (#) hours feel like 8 hours; for You are my Confidence Lord (Proverbs 3:26). When I awake and look around may I see that my sleep has been pleasant (Jeremiah 31:26).
Your Word says that Your angels are mighty; they do Your bidding and obey Your Word (Psalm 103:20). Please command Your angels to guard me in all my ways, may they lift me up in their hands so I do not strike my foot against a stone (Psalm 91:11-12). Because I fear You God, send Your angels to encamp around me as I sleep. Thank You, for delivering me and keeping me safe (Psalm 34:7). In the Precious Name of Your Son, Jesus, I pray, Amen.

Bad April Fool’s Jokes
On Monday, Jerry and Debbie will welcome your takes on April Fool’s jokes gone bad. We hope and pray that you never attempted to pull one off that injured anyone else. We’re talking about the fun sorts of jokes that we sometimes think will be funny, but turn out very different than planned. Get on board with this discussion on Monday.
Monthly Unscripted
Our monthly Unscripted program is very popular because it gives a chance for folks to ask almost anything, revisit past topics, or suggest future ones for the show calendar. Our callers drive the conversation with this open forum. Be sure and call in early to get on the air. 1-833-288-3986

Do You Often Feel Overwhelmed?
Life can get overwhelming at times. Lists and things to do are piling up. You can feel as though nothing fully gets accomplished. How do you avoid the feelings of getting overwhelmed? Some use a healthy dose of humor to get through life. Others ask people to take on some of their burden. Still others turn to substances to manage life when it gets overwhelming. Do you often feel like life is throwing too much at you? Share your take on Thursday’s show.
Non-Catholics, Why Do You Listen to Catholic Radio?
On Wednesday, Jerry and Debbie will be looking for calls from our non-Catholic friends. Share with us why you listen to Take 2 With Jerry and Debbie, and/or other shows on EWTN Radio. Is it to find out what Catholics believe and practice? To seek ammunition to argue against the Catholic faith? Perhaps you’re investigating Catholicism to possibly enter the Catholic Church. Let’s have a friendly conversation, and, as always, we’ll all learn some important things.
Balance in Life
Balance in all areas of life is generally the key to a real healthy existence. Now there are some exceptions in every situation, but balance in life proves to be beneficial in mind, body and spirit. When we are in balance, then things run smoothly and every area of our life seems to flourish. When someone appears to be having a rough time, you can almost always zero in on a certain aspect of their life that is suffering. Creating balance in life seems simple on the surface, yet we still have so many folks struggling to keep life steady. Let’s talk about this concept and see how it applies to our lives. Call in with your experience at 1-833-288-3986.
Proud To Be Catholic?
Can you boldly proclaim that you are proud, in a good way, to be Catholic? We want to hear from you on Monday’s show if you are or you are not. If free t-shirts were given out today saying, I LOVE BEING A CATHOLIC, could you, would you, wear one proudly? This is the discussion we want to have on Monday’s show. The Church’s sex abuse scandal has made many reluctant to defend their Catholicism. But is that the right approach to all this? Let’s have a candid discussion about our deepest feelings. This could be a life changing conversation with your participation. Please call us at, 1-833-288-3986.
