Take 2 with Jerry & Debbie

Have you attended any class reunions lately? Are you as excited about them today as you were when the first one was held? Do you do things like go on a diet or increase your exercising to get ready? Have you been embarrassed because you didn’t recognize one or more of your classmates? How do you feel as you return to class reunions and fewer and fewer of you are left? What high school or college memories have you and your classmates tried to relive? Call us and share your thoughts on if you truly look forward to or simply dread your class reunions?  1-833-288-3986

No family is perfect.  Some families have minor issues and some have really major problems that are sometimes hard to deal with.  If you could change one thing about your family…what would it be?  Share with us and maybe you will be on the road to improving things.  Call us at 1-833-288-3986.

We will also be sharing about the recent pilgrimage we took to The Shrine of the North American Martyrs and The National Shrine of The Divine Mercy.  It was life changing!

We can truly be remorseful for our actions but the damage may be way too deep.  Have you ever said, I’m sorry, hoping for a full reconciliation, only to find out that it can never  fully be repaired?  Sometimes people feel it is just too far gone to fix things with another I’m sorry.  This is a very unfortunate situation that many of us have had to face.  Call in and share your experience of this scenario.  1-833-288-3986.

Just exactly what are “boundaries” in our interpersonal relationships? They can be very Christian if done the right way. But so many of us struggle understanding just where to draw certain lines. Do you feel like you have to be everyone’s good friend? Are you easily taken advantage of? Is it hard for you to say “no” to people? How do you formulate your boundaries differently for family, friends, neighbors, co-workers? This is what we’ll talk about on Tuesday. Do join us!

If you have children, you know what a big deal it is to achieve certain milestones and moments in their lives. These are often chronicled in a variety of ways – photos, videos, inscriptions on a wall, a scrapbook, you name it. And they include a million different things, from taking their first steps, to receiving their First Holy Communion, from riding a bike without assistance, to catching that first big fish. On Monday, let’s celebrate the early accomplishments in the lives of your children. Call 833-288-3986 to join the conversation.

54 Day Novena

Some folks gain pleasure in constantly giving, while others enjoy being a taker to feel satisfied.  Where would you place yourself?  Are you more of a giver or taker in this world?  Do you know real givers and have you experienced the takers?  Let’s talk about this and see how it relates to our Christianity.  Call us with your experience, 1-833-288-3986.

In a world where gadgets have taken over and people are moving at a fast pace, it is no wonder why the human body has a difficult time settling down and being quiet.  In fact, it has been reported that many folks struggle with silence.  Constant chatter or noise seems to be the new normal in this culture. So, if peace is what you are craving and cannot seem to find it in this loud world, may we suggest giving Adoration a try.  Being still with our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament can bring forth many graces and blessings that are spiritually life changing. In addition, Adoration boosts our physical well being, something we all desire. Let’s have a conversation on how Adoration is just the remedy we need to bring about real and everlasting peace.  Call us with your story, 1-833-288-3986.

We’re presenting more and more topics that you suggest to us. That’s the case on Wednesday, when we take up a suggestion by a listener named Jenny and talk about the fate of some of our rural parishes. We’ll let Jenny herself set up the topic:

I heard that you take show topic ideas? If so, I have one. There is an epidemic of small town, rural parishes that are financially solvent and pillars in the community that are closing because of the lack of priests. Dioceses across the midwest and northeast are particularly affected. My parish is one of those that are on the potential closure list. Whereas the bishops are doing what they feel they need to do, the concern is that since the rural parishes are smaller, they do not matter. It seems a numbers game rather than a souls game. Jesus tells us to go to the ends of the earth. That also means to the ends of the cornfields, too.

Jerry and Debbie rescheduled their topic on Monday to allow you to weigh in on the latest mass shootings in the United States. Not surprisingly, you had a lot to say. So much so, that we are doing part two of this important topic. As we mourn, pray and look for rays of hope, we look forward to hearing from you with your heartfelt thoughts on Tuesday.

It is a very healthy thing to have folks who are spiritually like minded that you can run things by or bounce things off of.  Most people do not take the time to form a Christian support system.  When a problem arises in life, then we are all quick to run to other Christians for help.  In this day and age when Christianity is under attack, it is of the utmost importance  to have a strong support system.  Tell us about yours or ask us how to cultivate one…by calling, 1-833-288-3986.
