You go to Mass weekly, try to be a good Catholic, but the gossip at the water cooler at work is just too easy to partake in. Does that make you a hypocrite? Maybe you have even been called a hypocrite, yet in your heart you know you are trying your hardest to know, love and serve God. This can be a fascinating discussion but we need your input. Please call and share your experience at 1-800-585-9396.
Our children are the future of our Church. That is why it is important and good for their own spiritual development for them to become active in ministry at an early age. Whether it is Altar Serving, Vacation Bible School, or volunteering in some capacity with a church program, such as the food bank, our kids do make a difference by their acts of service. Also, they are examples of true disciples, learning, growing and serving in the Faith. What kinds of service do your kids perform? Hey kids, call in and share why you love being active in the church. 1-800-585-9396.

Life is filled with worries, even though Jesus advises us not to be concerned and to trust completely in Him. There are even times when we fear certain things are going to happen – even though there is no concrete reason to think they will – and those fears become realized. Is that a matter of worrying our way to difficulties or challenges? Do our thoughts sometimes influence our actions such that we actually help to bring about the things we irrationally fear? Let’s talk about these self-fulfilling prophecies on Monday with Jerry and Debbie at Noon ET.
Back by popular demand, Unscripted this Friday is our show for the entire hour. This is a great chance to bring up whatever, within reason of course, that is on your mind and heart. We will have a candid discussion and let’s see where the Holy Spirit takes it. Also, this show is the perfect time to make suggestions for future show topics, revisit past issues we have covered, or even to express how you felt about all the powerful calls that came in this past month. We hope to do Unscripted once a month so that our listeners feel intimately connected with us and the Take 2 family. Join in on the fun by calling, 1-800-585-9396.

Dan Burke joins Jerry and Debbie on Wednesday – All Souls Day – to talk about the power of prayer and its importance in our lives. Dan is the author of a new book titled, Into the Deep: Finding Peace Through Prayer. It’s the perfect conversation for you to participate in on the day when the Church commemorates and prays for all the faithful departed. Be with us and call in starting at Noon ET.
On Tuesday – All Saints Day – Jerry and Debbie welcome your takes on what it means to be “holy.” A lot of us think it means spending hours a day in prayer. Others might think it means you have to be a priest or religious in order to attain holiness. But as the Church teaches, we’re all called to holiness. That must mean that regardless of one’s life circumstances, holiness is within reach of everyone. How do you understand that? What do you do to grow in holiness, without which no one will enter heaven? Call and share your insightful take on our next broadcast.
On Monday, Jerry and Debbie will talk about the upcoming 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. Or, what some people call the Protestant “Revolt.” It was led by a Catholic priest named Martin Luther. On October 31, 1517, he posted what are commonly referred to as his “95 theses.” Luther’s main contention was that the Catholic Church was selling indulgences. It was surely a time when the Church was in need of reform. But was a wholesale abandonment of the faith in order? History has revealed that Luther’s personal problems helped lead to his departure from the 1500-year history of the Christian Church. And we all know what that has turned into today. Call with your takes at Noon ET on Monday.
On Friday, Jerry and Debbie will field your takes on what you would like to be remembered for. You may be advanced in years, or you may have most of your life ahead of you. But life will one day come to an end for all of us. How we live will determine how we’re remembered. It’s not about trying to build a legacy. It’s more about living a life in service to others. Call with your take on Friday at Noon ET.
Many people look into the mirror and absolutely despise what they see. Is that you? Do you look into the mirror and see all that is wrong? Or does your reflection brings forth great joy and acceptance deep within you? How we view ourselves, relates to our own spiritual maturity. On Thursday, we will ask you to share your inner thoughts about yourself. If you are open to sharing, others may benefit from your wisdom. Our phone lines fills up fast, so don’t hesitate to call, 1-800-585-9396.
