Is your teen on fire for the Faith? That is the question we will be asking on Monday’s Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie. Our guest for the program will be Author, Speaker, and Executive Vice President for Life Teen International, Mark Hart.
Join us, as we discuss the programs and organizations that are helping to keep our teens Catholic. Remember, our teens are the future of the Church, so this show is of the utmost importance to all of us. 1-800-585-9396 is the number to call to be on Take 2.
On Friday, it’s your next opportunity to call with your questions, comments, takes – you name it – on anything going on in your life or in the world. Take 2 is all about having a conversation that will leave us all better at the end of the hour. Share with Jerry and Debbie what’s on your mind or heart, and how you believe we can all strive to make the world better!
It is so tragic when kids are put in the middle of a divorce. They did not ask to be involved. All that children want is a loving, stable home. This devastating set of circumstances can and does escalate into what is known as Parental Alienation. Sadly to state, this horrific situation is on the rise in our culture. Parental Alienation, put simply, is when one parent systematically, intentionally ruins the relationship between the children and the other parent or family members. Parental Alienation can occur within an intact marriage, although more often it is after a divorce when this situation begins to take shape. The effects of this form of manipulation leaves lasting wounds on the children and the alienated parent. Reunification is possible but unfortunately when the damage is so deep, and the emotional bonds are broken the relationship is forever scarred. This is a highly sensitive subject, often misunderstood, but worthy of a dedicated hour to raise awareness of this growing epidemic. Share your story by calling, 1-800-585-9396.

Until we leave this earth, life is about learning, growing, changing, evolving. It’s never too late to learn a new sport, language, hobby, etc. Life is a journey. Tell us your latest adventure. Recently in the news there was a 100-year old man who just received his college degree. What new hobby, job or activity have you picked up lately? Share your take on Wednesday with Jerry and Debbie.
Join us on Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie as we discuss, with your help, the ways we can become saints. The canonized saints in the Catholic Church are the best role models for us in our quest for holiness. We can learn so much from their lives. There are also “saints” in our midst, on their journey to heaven. We are all called to be saints, but sometimes we just don’t know where to begin. Let’s talk about it. 1-800-585-9396.
We are called to be like Christ. And that means to be color blind. To view all people – regardless of the color of their skin – with the dignity and respect that are theirs as having been created in the image and likeness of God. How well do we do that in today’s world? We can say we don’t judge based on color, but still their are many instances where race is the determining factor in how we relate to other people. Join Jerry and Debbie for a discussion of this important and current issue on Monday at Noon ET.
There are many reasons so many of us look forward to weekends. Is it because we get to relax, watch sports, forget about work…or do we look forward to the Sabbath, with church and a chance to refocus ourselves? Lots of great takes will be shared with Jerry and Debbie – and you – on Friday. Join us at Noon ET, with a replay at Midnight ET.
The Bible talks about how everyone has a role to play in the functioning of the Church – the Body of Christ. Some are better at listening (ears), some like to be mobilized to help others (feet), while others find that their gift is to preach and evangelize (mouth). For the Body of Christ (the Church) to function at its best, it’s important that everyone fulfill their God-given role. We’ll talk about this with your takes on Thursday.
Balance is critical to living a healthy life. Self-discipline, hard work, attending to one’s responsibilities, etc. But part of that balance can certainly include treating ourselves to an occasional “luxury.” Things like a massage, a manicure, a spa treatment, an upgrade of our favorite gadget before it breaks down, even a nice vacation. How do you balance these things in your life? Do you abstain from doing anything “nice” for yourself out of fear that you will be indulging too much? Or, perhaps you have grown accustomed to such personal “treats,” and feel that you have to scale back on them a bit. Share your take with Jerry and Debbie on Wednesday’s show at Noon ET.
It has happened to most of us, the startling headlines of a newspaper, the horrible look on a doctor’s face when they share a diagnosis, or maybe the utter shock of receiving a “pink slip” at work. These moments in life can be earth shattering. Yet, as Christians, we are called to practice our Faith at all times, even when circumstances appear grim. Let’s talk about how you have handled these jolting experiences and how your faith may have even grown stronger because of it. Call in at 1-800-585-9396.
