Our fifth anniversary week continues on Tuesday with phone lines open for you to bring up anything you’d like. Your calls and takes have driven the show since its inception, and this show will be no different. Hope to hear from you!
Monday is the start of our fifth anniversary week! Many of you answered our short survey over the last month or so, asking for the topics you would like us to cover this week. Leading off is a discussion of loved ones who left the faith. Sadly, that remains the number one prayer intention of faithful Catholics. Does that description fit someone in your life? If so, let’s revisit that important topic together on Monday.
Friday’s Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie is for all urgent prayer requests and intentions. Let’s storm heaven together! Call us at, 1-833-288-3986. Or text the letters EWTN to 55000, wait for a response, then put it in your first name and prayer intention. This show is packed with prayer requests and moves quickly. Therefore, it is best if you try and reach us early in the broadcast. Start calling in as soon as you hear the opening music to the show if you want your request read on the air. Quote by Padre Pio: “Pray, hope, and don’t worry. Worry is useless, God is merciful and will hear your prayer.”
Anyone who’s at least a young adult is able to point to one decade of life or another, and give reasons why it was their favorite decade. What about for you? Was it when you were growing up? Going to high school or college? A period of great success in your career? When your children or grandchildren were born? Your retirement years? Our lives are constantly filled with ups and downs, highs and lows. As you ponder the life you’ve lived so far, what decade stands out as being especially impactful for you? Call and share your take on this topic on Thursday.
Is one of your God-given talents the ability to play a musical instrument? Music adds so much to life, especially when it’s done to the best of our ability and to bring glory to God. That doesn’t mean that there’s only one style of music that achieves those ends. The key is to acknowledge the gift the Lord has given you, and put it to the best and most noble use possible. Do you play an instrument? In what context? Did it come naturally to you? Or was it a struggle for you to learn to play? We’re looking forward to another great conversation with the Take 2 family on Wednesday.
A listener by the name of Jerry suggested we cover the topic of kindness. He was wondering, as many of us often do, if we have lost our ability to be kind to one another. On the surface, it may appear as though kindness is a lost art, especially when we look at the condition of the world today. But we’re also seeing many beautiful acts of kindness and self-giving, even in the midst of a global pandemic and civil unrest. Give this some thought, and share you take on the matter on Tuesday’s show.
June is one of the busiest months for weddings. So many people have had their hearts broken, or have been the one to break someone’s heart. We can talk not only about weddings/marriages, but any type of heartbreak. Has your heart mended yet? Partially? Has it made you cautious about giving your heart to someone again? Betrayal is a big part of heartbreaks. Some of us know people who have died of a broken heart. Lots to talk about and as always we can learn from one another. Call us at, 1-833-288-3986.
So many of you shared your takes on this on Thursday, that we’re going to do a part two on Friday. If you called and didn’t get on the air, Ryan, our call screener, will put you at the top of the line. Join us!
We received a ton of feedback from Tuesday’s show on how we should respond to injustices. We had already bumped one scheduled topic to accommodate that vital discussion. And, based on listener response following that show, and into today, we will have part two of this discussion on Wednesday. Please be sure you listen closely, and feel free to join the conversation!
