Highlights from this episode of American Catholic Radio include:

Producer Judy Zarick interviews Jerry Usher,  who left Catholic Answers to start up aWeb site to promote vocations, called "Vocation Boom!" which seeks to reach young men in a way that is familiar to them.

Father Hilarion Kistner answers questions: Is the Book of Revelation a prediction of future times?  Why was the Holy Gamily poor when they'd received costly gifts from the wise men?  Is the Book of Daniel called "apocryphal" because it didn't really happen?

This program’s Minute Meditation is from "All the Same," written and read by Ursuline Sister Bridget Haase. [14] For more from Sister Bridget visit her website wisdomwonder.com

Last November, the U.S. Bishops approved their pastoral letter, "Marriage: Love and Life in the Divine Plan."  They hope their multi-year Pastoral Initiative for Marriage will "communicate from the riches of our Catholic faith the meaning and value of marriage and to offer support and practical assistance for it to flourish both in society and in the Church."  We offer our weekly "Marriage Moment," where we ask a husband and wife to answer a question about the challenge of living their special sacrament. Catholic radio talk show hosts Greg and Jennifer Willits discuss: "Whose job is it to clean the bathroom?" and other gender questions.

Producer John Feister interviews Fr. Kyle Schnippel, vocation director for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, whose new Archbishop, Dennis Schnurr, has made vocations a priority.
