 SHOW DESCRIPTION:

Let’s say it’s been a while since you’ve been to church, or maybe you’ve never been but you feel a tug to go and have no idea where to start. Well, let’s start with the basics. Let’s start with prayer. What do we pray? How do we pray? When do we pray? Why should we pray? Today Sr. Geralyn of the Sisters of Christian Charity, who also developed our Diocesan Formation for the Ministry of Spiritual Direction, joins us to help simplify the act of praying.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:

 

This week is NFP or Natural Family Planning week. NFP, even though it has been in practice for several decades, is still largely misunderstood by traditional medicine, and even less so by the general population, but it is a scientifically based system with an effectiveness rate greater than the use of the pill when practiced consistently. It’s minimally invasive and empowers women with scientific data they can use to advocate for their health. In other words, it works. We're thrilled to welcome back Dr. Naomi Whittaker, a board certified OBGYN fertility surgeon focused on women's restorative reproductive medicine, compassionate healthcare, and education to talk to us about all the benefits associated with Natural Family Planning.

Show hosts and guests discuss the upcoming car show and golf tournament.

DESCRIPTION:

 

Is it possible that God created more than one intelligent species of being, such as extraterrestrials, and if so, how would this impact our faith? Or is this whole concept just an elaborate attempt to distract us from our ultimate goal? Today we're welcoming back Father John Szada, our Diocesan Exorcist, to talk about the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence in our universe and how the potential revelation of life on other planets could impact us as Catholics.
