Peace and all good, Matt Wielgos Manager of Media Productions, Executive Producer ACR Presents Disciples Called to Witness ACR's guests in program #13-31 provide insights into recognizing the committed Christian life. In "Call to Discipleship," Bishop Sam Jacobs assures us that what we do for love of neighbor is also done for love of God. In "Sharing Faith," internationally-known speaker Pam Stenzel outlines the emotional and physical consequences of having sex outside of marriage Author Kevin Wells talks about the practices that nurture his spirituality in "Discovering Faith." The parish as "home base" is the topic of program #13-32. Bishop Anthony Taylor reveals how the parish community sustains us individually and communally. Judy Zarick hosts Green Bay's diocesan New Evangelization director, Julianne Donlon-Stanz, who stresses the importance of understanding our faith through our lived parish experiences. Author and educator Phyllis Zagano discusses with John Feister the historic and contemporary role of deacons in parishes. Sharing the Word In August, the weekday Mass readings tell the story of Israel as the Hebrews struggle to become a nation like their neighbors. We hear about Moses' successor, Joshua, and the later Judges who governed the Israelites in place of an earthly king. Sharing the Word provides a 90-second reflection on these and other Old Testament passages that are often outside the realm of our modern experiences. Written and read by Cincinnati's Archbishop Emeritus Daniel E. Pilarczyk, Sharing the Word has been well-received by our audience because of its prayerful, easily understood style.
