Let’s face it. We all have them. Those things that just annoy us to no end. They’re typically referred to as “pet peeves.” And there’s no doubt they can be a challenge when they confront us. But here are some questions for Thursday’s show: How do you manage your pet peeves? How do you use them as occasions to grow in patience? Is there one in particular that you’ve achieved victory over? The topic may seem mundane. But it has a lot to do with faith and spirituality. This is where the virtues come into play in our lives. So, get ready, and call with your takes on your “pet peeves,” Thursday at Noon ET (with an encore airing of the show at Midnight ET)!

Here are some suggested sites and materials that will assist in the religious formation of our youth.  I truly hope you find these recommendations useful in your family or in your religious education program.

On Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie, the topic Wednesday is all about instilling the Faith in our children.  We all want our kids to embrace the Faith, and one day become saints! Parents are the primary catechists.  It is our ministry and responsibility to pass on the Faith to our children.  How do we do that?  What is the best way?  Are there tools, resources to help us with this mission?  Let’s talk about it…Share your “take” on this extremely important topic…

What if, as a parent, you did EVERYTHING you knew to do according to the Church, yet your children grew up and strayed away from the Faith…What now?  Do you feel like you failed?

Happy Labor Day!  Tune in on Monday to Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie, and listen to this special Labor Day show;  Laborers in the Vineyard of Catholic Radio. Jerry and I will be talking to some of our EWTN affiliates around the country to hear why they work so hard to promote their local Catholic radio station.  We will talk about the blessings of Catholic Radio and how we can all jump in and lend our support…

Our Holy Father, Pope Francis sure is popular with the news media!  His statements seem to give rise to many dinner conversations. People are misquoting him, interpreting what he says, even making bold inaccurate comments about Church teaching based solely out of context.  These unfortunate results leave so many scratching their heads, asking themselves,

“What exactly did Pope Francis mean when he said…?”

To clear up any misunderstandings and to explain to us the real intent behind the Holy Father’s statements, we have a special expert guest with us for Friday’s show…

Dr. Matthew Bunson (author, professor, speaker)

Dr. Bunson is the go-to person for questions about Pope Francis, in fact

he is one of the United States’ leading authorities on the papacy and the Church.

What is an Annulment?  How do I get one?  Do I need one?  How much does it cost?  Does it mean my marriage never existed?  What about the children of an annulled marriage?  How long does the process take? If I am not going to remarry what is the purpose of an annulment?  So many questions around this very misunderstood process.  Join us Tuesday, Sept 1st as we unpack the topic of Catholic Annulments.  Share your experience, your thoughts, even your fears about this subject, by calling in at 1-800-585-9396.  Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie depends on you, so tune in and be a part of the discussion.
