The Retreat Radio Show

by Jay and Mike

Jay and Mike are just 2 normal guys. They are not clergy members nor are they particularly religious, but they do have a love of the Lord and their Catholic faith. They enjoy sharing their faith insights and hearing others insights. They enjoy discussing how God is working in their lives and how He is working in the lives of others. And, both enjoy and sharing their faith with a bit of wit and humor mixed in. That’s what the Retreat Radio Show is all about. Each episode, Jay and Mike -- and sometimes a guest — will pick a faith topic and discuss that topic — from a normal guys point of view. Discussions range from very serious to light and humorous. Each episode then poses questions for listeners to consider and ponder as well. The sessions are modeled after faith sharing sessions that are typically used by various faith based retreat programs — hence the name of the show.
