Join us today on Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie as we discuss the topics of tithing, stewardship, giving, volunteering, serving…all the words that can further our spiritual growth and deepen our trust in God.  But believe it or not, these topics can be hurdles for so many in the church.  Share your “take” or story with us, we want to learn something from your experience…Also, we want to know, when you call in, if this is your first time calling in to Catholic radio and why you chose this day and topic…Number to dial, and you can listen to the show as you wait to be put on the air is: 1-800-585-9396

The Bible speaks often about nature and creation, especially, of course, in the Book of Genesis, where God looks upon what He had made and called it “very good.” Scripture even talk about nature “praising God.” Today, we’re going to talk about how we can find God in nature, without going so far as to believe that nature IS God. Share your takes with Jerry and Debbie!

If you have ever wanted to thank the world for that special priest, sister or deacon in your life, today is your day!  Wednesday, on Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie we will be honoring all the clergy and religious that have answered the call to serve God and to serve all of us, in religious formation.  Jerry and I have so many we wish to thank, that have inspired us and truly was Christ to us.  If you have a special person that shaped your spiritual life, call in and thank the world for them….1-800-585-9396   

Best example of this Christian principle is Blessed Mother Teresa… This quote of hers sums up how we should view others and treat others… “I see God in every human being. When I wash the leper’s wounds, I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?”

Join us at Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie as we grow together as the Body of Christ and learn how to be Catholic Christians through our actions, maybe even without uttering a single word…

See YOU Tuesday 9am Pacific, 11am Central, and Noon Eastern…

Clutter can be overwhelming and distracting…Decluttering your surroundings can naturally lead to a more spiritual life.  A life focused on God.  It is a freeing exercise to rid oneself of excess “stuff” and to simplify.  Join us Monday on Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie as we discuss the process of decluttering. How easy it is, and the effect it has almost immediately on our life~all for the good!!!

Remember, the definition of clutter is to fill or cover something with many things.

The definition of declutter is to organize and prioritize.

It is obvious which one is better for our spiritual growth…

Share your “take” with us at 9am Pacific, Noon Eastern…

Many people – both Catholics and non-Catholics – have no idea what to make of the Church’s teaching on the Virgin Mary’s bodily assumption into Heaven. Is it historical? Is there anything in the Bible that supports it? Did Mary die before being taken into Heaven? Lots of questions surround this very important Catholic teaching. We’ll discuss it – and include your takes – on Friday’s show. We’re very close to lining up a guest who knows a LOT about this topic. So, don’t miss it!

That’s often another way of saying, “I know there’s something to this ‘God’ thing, but I have no interest in complying with the oppressive rules of any official Church or religious organization.” Or can it mean other things? Does this describe you? Someone you know and love? Wednesday on the program we will look at this phrase and try to unpack what it means when people utter it. Your takes drive the show, so be sure you tune in and call in!

Yes!  That is me (Debbie) and Marty over 5 years ago just after we became husband and wife!  This is not our first marriage, but God-willing, it will be our last… After journeying through the amazing Catholic Annulment process, we have a whole new outlook on marriage and our future.  Do you?  Call us with your “take” on second marriages.  We want to hear what works and what are the definite hurdles we must overcome going into a second marriage…Dial in early at 1-800-585-9396, you will be placed on hold and can listen to the show LIVE so you won’t miss a thing!  Can’t wait for this lively discussion tomorrow about remarriage in the Church…
