    016 – The Retreat Radio Show – Power Up
    Apr 4 2021
    Struggling with an addiction, a specific behavior or sin, or another challenge in your life that you just can’t seem to shake – no matter how hard you try? The problem may be that you are trying to change that behavior on your own – without tapping into the ultimate Power of the universe. In this episode, we share how we’ve surrendered our trials to God – what it was like, what happened, and what it was like after we turned things over.

And, we discuss thoughts and ideas that may help our listeners navigate and traverse the ups and downs of life.

    Whether you accept it or not, you have been the recipient of God’s grace.  Grace is the free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings.  Free -- meaning we did not have to do anything to receive it.  Unmerited — meaning we did nothing to merit or deserve it.  In this episode, we discuss our own experiences and thoughts about grace.

    009- Retreat Radio – Grieving
    Mar 1 2020
    In this episode, Jay and Mike discuss and explore grief. Grief is an inevitable part of life. Whether it is a sudden situation or something that is known and anticipated, it is nonetheless difficult. Often times, we have regrets of things unsaid or undone — which further adds to our pain. Grief is not limited to the loss of a loved one. Changes in circumstances or situations can also trigger grief. While grief is inevitable, we need not allow others — or ourselves — to suffer through it alone. God calls us to share our burdens — especially grief — with each other.
