Hello and welcome to Catechance's live. I am Cite. Hell is your host. Great show today.

0:21.0

Two hours of open form. Second hour, Tim Staples. First hour, Jimmy Akin. So go ahead and

0:25.3

try to beat that. The number to call 888-318-7884 if you would like to ask a question and

0:33.2

anyone is welcome with any question at all because it's open forum. 888-318-7884. Somebody

0:40.5

must have known Jimmy was here because they must have looked at the schedule because all

0:44.3

but one line full already. I'll say that number one more time and then we got to do a little

0:48.5

bit of fundraising for a minute. 888-318-7884. The other number we give out is the number to call and

0:56.5

make a pledge of support to Catholic dancers because the way we fund this show is we try to stay

1:02.2

forward-funded for three months and so it is time for us. Each quarter we come to you for six hours.

1:07.3

We only use part of each hour. We certainly don't use the whole hour to ask you for your support

1:12.4

and thus far that has kept us on the air for oh well I can tell you we've been on the air more than

1:17.3

25 years so that number to call is 888-291-8000 and all the lines are open now because I just gave it

1:26.4

for the first time so maybe break the ice for us today 888-291-8000. We have two matches this hour.

for dollar 888-291-8000. The other match is we still have money on the second match a total of

1:47.7

$40,000 dollars for any new monthly pledge. So if you put those two together if you call and make

1:55.1

any pledge at all and your pledge happens to be a new monthly pledge essentially your money's

2:00.0

getting tripled. If you're able to do $10 a month it will become 30 to us. If you're able to do

2:05.1

$50 a month it will become 150. So once again that number 888-291-8000 or you can go safe and secure

2:13.0

online to catholicanswersradio.com. No one has called yet. Eleven of our colleagues are on the line.

2:19.3
