Show Notes:
Jenn Giroux is the National Founder and Executive Director of Women Influencing the Nation (WIN), an organization dedicated to reclaiming traditional morals in our society today with special emphasis on regaining respect for women and instilling a love for and desire to have more children once again in America. Jenn has been a Registered Nurse for 24 years where she has witnessed first hand the devastating physical, mental, and spiritual fall out from the feminist movement, especially in areas of birth control and abortion. This has been the foundation of her inspiration to form this nationwide network called “WIN” to counteract the negative impact that the feminist influence has had over the past 35+ years in destroying our families.

Welcome Back!

Today I get to share with you a great example of someone who simply decided to stand up and do something about whats wrong in our society. Jenn Giroux decided to make a difference when she heard the Passion of the Christ (movie) being attacked in the media. From this opportunity ordinary people have done extraordinary things.

Jenn is a dynamic speaker who can speak to the devastating effects of the feminist movement. Jenn is working to build women up and encourage a nation to stop the death march and to restore a right attitude to life.

I think you will enjoy this conversation with Jenn Giroux and I hope you will check out her webiste. Send me your feedback and let me know what you think.

God Bless

Memory Walk 2007


2007
10.26

From: Amy Bentancourt

Hello!

First, I want to say thank you so VERY much to those that have sponsored me!!! But, I am just under halfway to my goal of $500 for the Alzheimers Memory Walk 2007. I need your support and can’t do it without you all.
My Grammy was always a very generous and loving lady. She was a HUGE part of my life and an even greater influence!! By the end, my grammy was someone we didn’t know and she didn’t know us either (literally). The last weekend I spent with her, was so very hard. I could see her in pain and suffering. Her body was giving up on her and she wasn’t ready to go yet. She was coughing up stuff and her legs at the ankles and her feet were as swollen as 10 year old tree trunks. Her kidneys were shutting down. She was stuttering and stammering more than ever. She could no longer communicate her thoughts coherently. She had also become very angry and aggressive, so VERY much unlike the woman I knew before this ugly disease.
We were blessed, however; because she stayed at home all but the last week and a half of her life. My mother and brother and their families were there to care for her. But, at a huge price to pay emotionally and financially. Think about all the ones suffering without the means or the family to support them. And why can’t we come up with a cure?!? In this day and time, if scientists can play God and clone living beings, then why can’t we cure diseases?!? Well, for starters it takes money…and lots of it! I’m begging and pleading for your help! Please find it in your heart to give a little…even a dollar. Please help me make a difference in other Alzheimer’s patients lives. Skip that latte this weekend, that meal out, or that movie rental and help me help others in the memory of my grammy, Mary Lou.
I also invite you to join me this Sunday, at Mackenzie Park at 2pm to walk with me. There is a 1mile course and a 5k course…not sure which I will be doing yet. The more the merrier!!
I thank you all from the bottom of my heart and pray for God to fill your lives with peace and happiness!!

Hello All,

My sister, Amy Bentancourt (iluvlighthousez@yahoo.com), is participating in the Memory Walk 2007 to help find a cure to Alzheimer’s . As many of you know, my Grandma, Mary L. Brown, past in August as a result to Alzheimer’s. Please stop by the Memory Walk website and consider sponsoring my sister. When you click on the “Support Participant” button type Amy’s name in the search field. That will take you to her page where you can make a donation. Thank you in advance for your prayers and support!

Amy’s Message:
“I just found out about this walk to raise money for Alzheimer’s research & to help those currently suffering. As most of you know, I lost my Grammy a few months ago to Alzheimer’s, so this is VERY near and dear to my heart. I am asking for folks to either join me this Sunday to walk with me in the memory of my Grammy or donate/sponsor me, to pray for all those suffering, and to spread the word and ask others to donate. I have a link below to my webpage, where you can sign up to walk with me or to donate. My goal is to raise $500. If you feel led, then please help me make my goal…I feel it something I just have to do and be a part of. I thank you all so much for your time, donations, and prayers!!”

God Bless

Welcome Back!

Today I get to share with you (Part 2) a great Catholic resource in the The Pope John Paul II Society of Evangelists and School of Evangelization. Victor has over 20 years of experience in apologetics and sharing the faith, and it was great to talk with him.

The Catholic Hack! News Update


2007
10.22

Hello all,

I pray that all is well with each of you. I just wanted to post an update on some upcoming podcasts. Tonight I will be attempting, for the third time, my interview with Victor R. Claveau, MJ of the Pope John Paul II Society of Evangelists and School of Evangelization (http://www.pjpiisoe.org). Please pray and ask the Holy Spirit to ensure that the third time works perfectly. Don’t forget that John Martignoni, of EWTN Open Line Monday, and www.biblechristiansociety.com, will also be a guest on the show in November.

Mark Houck, of the Kings Men http://www.thekingsmen.us/contact.html, has invited me to be a guest on his Radio program on 11/9 so please pray for me. If you live in the Philadelphia area you can listen live at 1570 AM Holy Spirit Radio. If you do not live in that area you can listen live on the Internet at http://www.holyspiritradio.org/. You can also download all the past radio programs as a podcast at http://www.thekingsmen.us/podcast .

I have also received a tentative acceptance from Tarek Saab (http://www.tsaab.com) to be a guest on the show. Tarek and I still have to work out the dates but he is looking at coming on to discuss the release of his book in the Spring. This morning Thomas Peters, from http://www.americanpapist.com/blog.html, also confirmed he will be a guest on The Catholic Hack! When I have set the date I will let you know.

I am also looking at securing a guest appearance from Jennifer Giroux (bio Link below) who is the National Founder and Executive Director of Women Influencing the Nation (WIN), an organization dedicated to reclaiming traditional morals in our society today. (http://www.cmgbooking.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=21&Itemid=37) Look for more details to come.

The Catholic Hack! T-shirts will be available for sale very soon as Jeff Nielsen, of Nielsen Design Studio, has done a wonderful job getting the shirts set up and ready to print. You can check out all the great products Jeff produces at http://shop.nielsendesignstudio.com/main.sc.

I will also be starting my series on the Rosary next week. I hope to take such topics as repetitious prayer, prayer to the saints, traditions of men, the perpetual virginity of Mary, the Immaculate conception of Mary, the intercession, or Mediatrix of All Graces of Mary, Mary’s’ assumption into heaven, Mary the arch of the Covenant, Mary the New Eve, Mary the mother of all, as well as all the other mysteries of the Rosary. Look for that soon.

I’m also going to organize, and sponsor, a Men’s Conference, here in Houston, with the Kings Men Apostolate for the summer of 2008. I will post more details as I get them but please keep that in your prayers. I want to make this an annual event that will build men up and encourage them in the faith.

Thanks again for all your support and your help in leaving me reviews on iTunes that truly does help to spread the word about this podcast. If you have a moment please leave me another today.

God Bless

Welcome Back!

This is the 4th and final podcast, in this series dealing with the Jehovah Witness. Today I shared with you a piece of negative feedback however; I have also received lots of positive feedback. Thank you all for taking the time to send in the emails, comments, tweets etc. I sincerely appreciate that. Thank you, to those that have left an iTunes review for me (kevin, Tom, Ted, Rob, Grwnginfaith) just recently. Thank you!

I have posted a really good article, that I received from Tim Staples, on God’s Names so please check it out. Do me a favor and reach out to Rob and let him know that his time was well spent on The Catholic Hack! podcast.

We need to remember to reach out in love and charity to our JW brothers and sisters but, never forget that they are simply misled and misguided. We should study our faith as much as they do… we should spend as much time evangelizing as they do. So there are a lot of things we can learn from the JW’s but… we must witness to the JW’s because they are lacking the Truth of the Gospel.


God Bless

Welcome Back to The Catholic Hack!

This is part 3 in our 4 part series on the Jehovah Witness with our friend Rob Gasper. So far we have talked about where the Jehovah Witness came from, their rocky history, their prophecies, their beliefs and theology, and what to expect when the door bell rings.

We are now going to start to dig into how, and what, we are to do when we encounter a Jehovah Witness. There are 3 roads to choose from and Rob and I are going to talk about this. There is a lot of great information still to cover so stay tuned.

Please send me your feedback, and leave me a review on iTunes as that will greatly help me to get this podcast out to more people. Thanks for listening… and thanks for your support.

God Bless
