To deepen our relationship with God, one needs to surrender. Giving up control is always difficult. Maybe that is why we hold on to other things in life, just to have a sense of control. Let’s talk about it. Call in share you take for today’s show at 1-800-585-9396!
Colossians 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
The word “peace” is used over 400 times in the Bible. So what does that tell us? Could it be that we must be instruments of peace in our homes and communities, just as we hear in the St. Francis Prayer? The home should be a safe haven for all who dwell in it. The family is the domestic church, which means we must begin in the home. Would you say that you work hard to keep peace in your home? How do you think your children would describe their experience growing up in the home? We live in a world, where it is very hard to truly find and maintain peace. This conversation on Thursday’s show will be about how we can bring back peace, joy and laughter into our dwelling places. Call in and share some practical advice on how you keep a peaceful household. 1-800-585-9396

Everyone either knows a Catholic, was a practicing Catholic or wants to convert a Catholic. Isn’t is so incredibly frustrating when folks like that tell you what you believe rather than asking you? For some reason, Catholics have become fair game to these types of people. It seems as though some want to validate their erroneous ideas about Catholicism by cornering a Catholic and basically leaving them unable to defend their faith. If we want others to ask us what we believe, we really must know and understand the faith. This is a big responsibility but that is why ongoing catechesis is a must for all of us in order to evangelize this world we live in. Let’s talk about this scenario and more on Tuesday’s Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie. Here’s the number to call in and be on the show. 1-800-585-9396.
Let’s all start off 2018 with an attitude of gratitude. Did you know that there are many benefits in life that are gained from having a grateful disposition? On Monday, we will explore all the health and relationship advantages we can obtain by developing a grateful heart. Call in and share your practical techniques for maintaining a sense of gratitude for everything and anything in life. This will be a great discussion with your participation. Call in to 1-800-585-9396.
On Friday, Jerry and Debbie want to hear your takes on how you “unplug” from the fast-paced world we live in. Sure, it can be things like taking a few minutes of quiet time in the morning, at lunch or in the evening. Or immersing yourself in a good book. Or going to the gym. Those will all be fine. But we invite you to share how you may at times choose to go even deeper in getting away from it all. Do you love the great outdoors? Do you like to escape on a hunting, camping or fishing trip? Perhaps you make regular retreats or pilgrimages. Whatever it is that helps you recharge your physical and spiritual batteries, we want to hear about it and be inspired!
Jerry & Debbie preview the Stand Tall Retreat with Brother Marion of St Bernard Abbey in Cullman Alabama, retreat attendees, and discuss pilgrimages to EWTN with EWTN Radio’s General Manager Jack Williams.
Every human being is in search of his or her identity. We are each created by an all-powerful, all-loving God for a particular purpose in His overall plan. Some people understand this on a conscious level. For others, it’s perhaps subconscious, but no less real. Maybe the most asked question of all time – again, either intentionally or not – is “Who am I?” How would you answer that question in a few short words? A beloved son or daughter of God? The husband or wife of…? A member of the (insert name here) family? A forgiven sinner? Someone with a particular vision or mission to accomplish in life? Share with us your personal statement that sums up your identity at this point in your life. Call us 1-800-585-9396.
The ultimate sign of love, as Jesus said in the Bible, is for one “to lay down his life for a friend.” Some people are literally given that opportunity in life. Others wish they could take the place of a sick or dying person. Have you ever known someone with whom you would trade places? Maybe it was a dying spouse, sibling or friend. Maybe it was a stranger you knew had “more to live for” than you felt you did. Of course, we usually can’t take someone’s place in such a situation. But the desire to do so is very noble. Let’s talk about this impactful topic on Wednesday.
Jerry and Debbie are back on Tuesday with their first live show of 2018. And we want to kick off the new year by inviting the world to pray for your special intentions. We’ve offered this show many times in the past, and you always come strong with your prayer intentions. It may be someone’s health, an employment situation, a relationship that needs mending, you name it. It’s your show, so be sure to call and allow us to share with the world whatever it is that you are praying for!
