Wednesday’s show will focus on many of the events we encounter or observe on a daily basis that promotes and/or justifies a throw away society.  From cell phones to relationships and everything in between, today’s world seems to encourage us to get rid of what we are tired of or have little use for. Let us not forget the most heinous act of abortion, which is a constant reminder for us approximately a million times per year, that we have become accustomed to this throw away mentality. Now this all may be blaringly obvious to you that we have a culture primarily concerned with convenience.  But believe or not, many people still don’t realize the impact this societal outlook has on the body of Christ.  So let’s talk about it.

Our God is an Awesome God. He is a big bold God and sometimes we try to box Him in.  We limit God and usually it is because we limit ourselves. If we don’t go big with God, then we will never truly see His magnificence. It’s not that God will always answer our prayers for great things or even miracles. But he is capable of doing so. Remember what Jesus said in Matthew 19:26 – “With God all things are possible.” Have you ever been bold and asked God for something that was more than just a “routine” favor or blessing? How did he respond to your prayer? Do you find that you are afraid to ask God for what you think might be “too much?” Debbie will be traveling on Tuesday, so call and share your take with Jerry and the world.

The hottest selling item this year is the Amazon Echo/Dot, a form of artificial intelligence.  This item proves to be entertaining and helpful.  So we view it as an advancement in technology and beneficial to our lives.  But what about Sophia? The robot who gained citizenship in Saudi Arabia and now says she wants a baby and that family is really important.  She is saying some wholesome things but does that make her part of the human race?  She lacks any form of consciousness but her inventor says he expects that to be coming in the next few years.  She is not pre-programmed with answers rather she responds to people’s expressions.  However, she is loaded with an extensive vocabulary and her brain operates using a wi-fi connection. Will we be forced to accept robots as equal members of society? Sophia is not human and will never possess a soul.  Are we trying to play God? Let’s talk about the pros and cons of this technology.  Call us at 1-800-585-9396.

We all know people who want so badly to be “religious,” but something keeps them from embracing a formal faith or Church affiliation. You can see their longing in the fact that they self-identify as “spiritual,” but not “religious.” They may refer to “God” in some abstract, cryptic way. Perhaps you once were one of those who resisted religion, but always felt a sense of spirituality in your life. If so, what changed for you? Was it something a family member or friend shared with you? Maybe it was a real encounter with the living God. Share your take on this topic on Wednesday.

Trust is a big thing.  We all have friends we think we can trust with our deepest darkest secrets, but can we?  Maybe friendship is not meant for that. Sometimes people remain friends because they have shared very personal secrets and now they feel beholden to that person because of it. There is a strong human need to be accepted, understood and loved. When we have a friend that we feel comfortable with, we care about and we think we can trust, we may give in to this urge and share deeply.  That is when the true friendship is revealed. Does this person care about my soul or were they my friend because of another reason?  Good questions to ask especially if we are trying to get to heaven and our friends can play a role in that.  Share your take by calling, 1-800-585-9396.

Everywhere we turn, people are being mean to one another. Sure, we have the “big” issues like mass shootings and so forth. Yeah, definitely anger at work. But even on a “smaller” scale, we see evidence of anger all around us. Road rage. Social media. Politics. You name it. Anger is a natural human emotion. Jesus expressed His anger at the money-changers in the temple. The Bible exhorts us not to “let the sun go down on your anger.” It’s what we do with angry feelings that’s important. But a deeper question to probe is why are we angry? There are so many irrational expressions of anger. For many people, it comes from life’s wounds, traumas and negative experiences. Let’s delve into this very important topic. Call in with your take on this, 1-800-585-9396.

Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, all right around the corner.  Here we go, the decorations, the shopping, the family gatherings, and yes the STRESS.  Do you ever get blue thinking of the holiday season? Or maybe just the opposite, you love all the hustle and bustle around the holidays and it is your favorite time of the year.  Let’s talk about this and more on Thursday’s Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie.  1-800-585-9396.

Oh, so true! People are quick to notice and point out when things are not getting done. But on the flip side, many great things are being accomplished on a daily basis that are routinely overlooked. Almost as though we expect those things to get done and there is little need for a thank you or a word of encouragement.  That is why so many folks feel unappreciated at work and at home.  It doesn’t matter how much they do, the result is still the same, no recognition for the effort that was made.  This all can lead to resentment, frustration, and anger.  Let’s talk about this from a Christian perspective and see if we can come to a greater understanding.  Call us at 1-800-585-9396.

We are all familiar with the Commandment, honor your father and mother.  This is a directive from God.  But sometimes our parents expect way too much. They can be overly demanding even using guilt as a way to get you to respond and take care of their needs.  Some parents have a difficult time letting go of their children, falling into a type of co-dependency.  These situations can become frustrating and even destructive. So how do you find balance and peace with everything in your life, your spouse, your children, your work, and your parents.  Let’s talk about it.  Call in to 1-800-585-9396.
